In the current study, hard turning of AISI H11 tool steel is done using TiAlN coated cutting tool. The workpiece is prepared by three different processing conditions (Solution treated, Heat treated, Cryogenic treated). The machining performance are studied by the input parameters; cutting speed (60, 90, 120 m/min) and feed rate (0.06, 0.12, 0.18 mm/rev) with a constant depth of cut of 0.5mm using Taguchi’s L9 design. The responses like, surface quality, wear on the tool, and forces generated for all three specimens are studied. The hardness of all three components is measured using Vicker’s micro-hardness tester. The experimental results proved that feed rate is the most influential parameter in deciding, surface roughness, cutting force and tool wear. The utility concept approach is applied and found, solution treated sample with 120 m/min of cutting speed and 0.06 mm/rev of feed rate produces optimal results in all three response criterion.

In this work, an attempt has been made to optimize the process parameters on turning operation of INCOLOY 800H, with the aid of cryogenically treated (24[Formula: see text]h, 12[Formula: see text]h and untreated) multi-layer chemical vapor deposition (CVD) coated tools. The influencing factors like cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and cryogenic treatment were selected as input parameters. Surface roughness, microhardness and material removal rate (MRR) were considered as output responses. The experimentation was planned and conducted based on Taguchi L27 standard orthogonal array (OA) with three levels and four factors. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods like grey relational analysis (GRA) and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) have been used to optimize the turning parameters in this work. Similar results were obtained from these MCDM techniques. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed to identify the significance of the process parameters on the responses. Experimental research proved that machining performance could be improved efficiently at cutting speed is 55[Formula: see text]m/min, feed rate is 0.06[Formula: see text]mm/rev, depth of cut is 1[Formula: see text]mm and 24[Formula: see text]h cryogenically treated tool. Tool wear was analyzed for the cutting tool machined at the optimum cutting condition with the help of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersion spectroscopy (EDS). Dry sliding wear test was also conducted for the optimal condition. The percentage improvement in machining performances is 12.70%.

The paper presents an experimental investigation into the slotting of hardened AISI D2 (~62HRC) tool steel using 0.5mm diameter coated (TiAlN) tungsten carbide (WC) end mills. SEM analysis of tool morphology and coating integrity was undertaken on all tools prior to testing. Tool wear details are given based on resulting cutter diameter and slot width reduction. In addition, cutting forces are also presented together with details of workpiece burr formation. A full factorial experimental design was used with variation of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut, with results evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques. Parameter levels were chosen based on microscale milling best practice and results from preliminary testing. Main effects plots and percentage contribution ratios (PCR) are included for the main factors. Cutting speed was shown to have the greatest effect on tool wear (33% PCR). When operating at 50m/min cutting speed with a feed rate of 8µm/rev and a depth of cut of 55µm, cutter diameter showed a reduction of up to 82µm for a 520mm cut length. SEM micrographs of tool wear highlighted chipping / fracture as the primary wear mode with adhered workpiece material causing further attritious wear when machining was continued up to 2.6m cut length. All tests produced burrs on the top edges of the slots which varied in size / width to a lesser or greater degree. Under the most severe operating conditions, burr width varied from approximately 50µm to more than 220µm over the 520mm cut length. Cutting forces in general were less than 12N up to test cessation.

In this present research, the machinability studies of TiAlN/TiCN, TiCN/TiAlN coated and uncoated inserts were investigated on machining custom 450 alloy. The machining input parameters such as feed rate (f), cutting speed (V) and depth of cut (d) are set using orthogonal array. The machining output parameters such as surface roughness, tool wear and cutting forces were studied for its parametric contribution and it was analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Further, the tool wear obtained was studied using scanning electron microscopic images and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis was conducted to check the addition of work material elements to the coated tool surface. The results show that, the feed rate is the most contributing factor in deciding resultant forces, surface roughness and tool wear respectively. TiAlN/TiCN coated carbide tool has obtained improved machinability, when compared to TiCN/TiAlN coated carbide and uncoated carbide inserts. To obtain one optimal level for all three responses of three types of tools, multi criteria decision making approach, named utility concept approach is selected. Based on the MCDM analysis, it is found that trial number 4 gives better experimental output of improved surface integrity, lower resultant force and less tool wear for all types of tools.

Turning is one of the fundamental machining operations and its process parameters leads to better machining performance. The economic benefit of turning operation is providing components with appropriate dimensional accuracy. In this work, the effects of process parameters on dimensional accuracy (circularity and cylindricity) parameters are analyzed in turning of EN25 steel. The process parameters considered are cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut in order to minimize circularity and cylindricity. The result revealed that the minimum dimensional accuracy error values such as circularity and cylindricity are obtained in the combination of higher value of cutting speed and lower value of feed rate and depth of cut. This analysis is used to meet the machined work piece within the tolerance limit and improve the quality criteria.

AbstractCutting fluids of various types are commonly employed to control the friction and heat during machining. The continuous application of cutting fluids is being avoided to reduce overall volume of cutting fluids, machining cost, environmental and health issues. To overcome these problems, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) machining has been chosen as an alternative approach. In the present work, experiments are conducted using Taguchi’s robust design methodology to find out the optimal cutting parameters for surface roughness under different machining environmental conditions and carbide tool materials. The results indicated that there is considerable improvement in the machining performance using MQL machining. Flooded machining, high cutting speed, low feed rate, low depth of cut and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) coated tool are found to be the optimum conditions to minimize surface roughness. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA), feed rate is the most influential factor that affects the surface roughness than cutting speed and depth of cut.

The current research presents an overall performance-based analysis of Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium Chloride [[CH3(CH2)5]P(Cl)(CH2)13CH3] ionic fluid mixed with organic coconut oil (OCO) during turning of hardened D2 steel. The application of cutting fluid on the cutting interface was performed through Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) approach keeping an eye on the detrimental consequences of conventional flood cooling. PVD coated (TiN/TiCN/TiN) cermet tool was employed in the current experimental work. Taguchi’s L9 orthogonal array and TOPSIS are executed to analysis the influences, significance and optimum parameter settings for predefined process parameters. The prime objective of the current work is to analyze the influence of OCO based Trihexyltetradecylphosphonium Chloride ionic fluid on flank wear, surface roughness, material removal rate, and chip morphology. Better quality of finish (Ra = 0.2 to 1.82 µm) was found with 1% weight fraction but it is not sufficient to control the wear growth. Abrasion, chipping, groove wear, and catastrophic tool tip breakage are recognized as foremost tool failure mechanisms. The significance of responses have been studied with the help of probability plots, main effect plots, contour plots, and surface plots and the correlation between the input and output parameters have been analyzed using regression model. Feed rate and depth of cut are equally influenced (48.98%) the surface finish while cutting speed attributed the strongest influence (90.1%). The material removal rate is strongly prejudiced by cutting speed (69.39 %) followed by feed rate (28.94%) whereas chip reduction coefficient is strongly influenced through the depth of cut (63.4%) succeeded by feed (28.8%). TOPSIS significantly optimized the responses with 67.1 % gain in closeness coefficient.

High-speed milling tests were performed on vol. (5%-8%) TiCp/TC4 composite in the speed range of 50-250 m/min using PCD tools to nvestigate the cutting temperature and the cutting forces. The results showed that radial depth of cut and cutting speed were the two significant influences that affected the cutting forces based on the Taguchi prediction. Increasing radial depth of cut and feed rate will increase the cutting force while increasing cutting speed will decrease the cutting force. Cutting force increased less than 5% when the reinforcement volume fraction in the composites increased from 0% to 8%. Radial depth of cut was the only significant influence factor on the cutting temperature. Cutting temperature increased with the increasing radial depth of cut, feed rate or cutting speed. The cutting temperature for the titanium composites was 40-90 °C higher than that for the TC4 matrix. However, the cutting temperature decreased by 4% when the reinforcement's volume fraction increased from 5% to 8%.

The effects of different cutting parameters, insert nose radius, cutting speed and feed rates on the surface quality of the stainless steel to be use in medical application. Stainless steel AISI 316 had been machined with three different nose radiuses (0.4 mm 0.8 mm, and 1.2mm), three different cutting speeds (100, 130, 170 m/min) and feed rates (0.1, 0.125, 0.16 mm/rev) while depth of cut keep constant at (0.4 mm). It is seen that the insert nose radius, feed rates, and cutting speed have different effect on the surface roughness. The minimum average surface roughness (0.225µm) has been measured using the nose radius insert (1.2 mm) at lowest feed rate (0.1 mm/rev). The highest surface roughness (1.838µm) has been measured with nose radius insert (0.4 mm) at highest feed rate (0.16 mm/rev). The analysis of ANOVA showed the cutting speed is not dominant in processing for the fine surface finish compared with feed rate and nose radius. Conclusion, surface roughness is decreasing with decreasing of the feed rate. High nose radius produce better surface finish than small nose radius because of the maximum uncut chip thickness decreases with increase of nose radius.
