Abstract Axial ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting (AUVC) has proved to have better machining performance compared with conventional cutting methods; however, the effect of numerous and complex influencing factors on machining performance has not been clearly revealed and a recommended combination of cutting conditions has not been proposed yet, especially for difficult-to-machine material such as Ti6Al4V alloy. This paper focuses on experimental and theoretical investigation into machining performance when cutting Ti6Al4V with the AUVC method. First, a retrospective of the separation characteristics of AUVC is provided and the variable parameter cutting characteristics are demonstrated. We classify the influencing factors on machining performance into four categories: machining parameters, vibration parameters, tool choice, and cooling conditions. The relationship between these factors in terms of their effect on machining performance is established theoretically. Then, it describes experiments to determine the influence of these factors on cutting force, tool life, and surface roughness. For absolute influence, the orders for cutting force, tool life, and surface roughness are respectively cutting depth > amplitude > feed rate > rotation speed, rotation speed > feed rate > amplitude > cutting depth, and feed rate > amplitude > cutting depth > rotation speed. However, for relative influence, the order is unified as: amplitude > feed rate > rotation speed > cutting depth. Finally, it suggests a smaller feed rate, larger amplitude, moderate rotation speed, and smaller cutting depth in addition to a WC tool coated with TiAlN and used under HPC cooling condition for optimal performance of AUVC. This recommendation is based on the theoretical analysis and experimental results of cutting force, surface roughness, and tool life.

Turn Milling

Turn-milling process has been paid attention in order to be used in multi-task machining processes. Moreover, looking for new machining techniques aimed at reducing cutting force is of important. Reducing cutting force in machining processes has the benefits of extending tool life and improving surface quality. One of the new concepts for reducing the cutting force is applying ultrasonic vibration. In this paper, effects of ultrasonic vibration under different machining parameters in turn-milling process of Al-7075 alloy will be investigated. In this order, a special mechanism was designed to apply ultrasonic vibration during machining process. Ultrasonic vibration exertion on the tool reduced cutting force and surface roughness up to 75% and 35%, respectively. Also tool rotational speed increment induced cutting force and surface roughness increment. In addition, tool feed rate and workpiece rotational speed increment caused cutting force and surface roughness increment. Although, feed rate was more influential.

Dry Cutting

The machining of aerospace materials, such as metal matrix composites, introduces an additional challenge compared with traditional machining operations because of the presence of a reinforcement phase (e.g. ceramic particles or whiskers). This reinforcement phase decreases the thermal conductivity of the workpiece, thus, increasing the tool interface temperature and, consequently, reducing the tool life. Determining the optimum machining parameters is vital to maximising tool life and producing parts with the desired quality. By measuring the surface finish, the authors investigated the influence that the three major cutting parameters (cutting speed (50–150 m/min), feed rate (0.10–0.30 mm/rev) and depth of cut (1.0–2.0 mm)) have on tool life. End milling of a boron carbide particle-reinforced aluminium alloy was conducted under dry cutting conditions. The main result showed that contrary to the expectations for traditional machined alloys, the surface finish of the metal matrix composite examined in this work generally improved with increasing feed rate. The resulting surface roughness (arithmetic average) varied between 1.15 and 5.64 μm, with the minimum surface roughness achieved with the machining conditions of a cutting speed of 100 m/min, feed rate of 0.30 mm/rev and depth of cut of 1.0 mm. Another important result was the presence of surface microcracks in all specimens examined by electron microscopy irrespective of the machining condition or surface roughness.

Optimization Of Cutting Parameters

Cellulose based hybrid composites are gaining popularity in the growing green communities. With extensive studies and increasing applications for future advancement, the need for an accurate and reliable guidance in machining this type of composites has increased enormously. Smooth and defect free machined surface are always the ultimate objectives. The present work deals with the study of machining parameters (i.e. spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut) and their effects on machining performance (i.e. surface roughness and delamination) to establish an optimized setup of machining parameters in achieving multi objective machining performance. Cellulose based hybrid composites consist of jute (a bast fiber) and glass fiber embedded in polyester resins. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) using Box-Behnken Design (BBD) was chosen as the design of experiment approach for this study. Based on that experimental approach, 17 experimental runs were conducted. Mathematical model for each response was developed based on the experimental data. Adequacy of the models were analyzed statistically using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) in determining the significant input variables and possible interactions. The multi objective optimization was performed through numerical optimization, and the predicted results were validated. The agreement between the experimental and selected solution was found to be strong, between 95% to 96%, thus validating the solution as the optimal machining condition. The findings suggest that feed rate was the main factor affecting surface roughness and delamination .

In order to investigate the influences of machining parameters on surface roughness in ultrasonic vibration mill-grinding, the motion of abrasive grain is analyzed. The analysis indicates that grain and workpiece separate periodically which are beneficial for coolant entering into grinding zone to reduce grinding temperature and grinding force and improve surface quality. Experiments are carried out and detected by SEM and roughmeter, the results indicate that influences of spindle rate, feeding speed, cutting depth and amplitude decrease in turn. Through regression analysis, an empirical formula is obtained. The experiments indicate that material removal mode dominates surface roughness.

Austenitic stainless steel AISI 316L is used in many applications, including chemical industry, nuclear power plants, and medical devices, because of its high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Machinability study on the stainless steel is of interest. Toward sustainable manufacturing, this study also includes the power consumption during machining along with other machining responses of cutting force, surface roughness, and tool life. Turning on the stainless steel was performed using coated carbide tool without using cutting fluid. The turning was performed at various cutting speeds (90, 150, and 210 m/min) and feeds (0.10, 0.16, and 0.22 mm/rev). Response surface methodology was adopted in designing the experiments to quantify the effect of cutting speed and feed on the machining responses. It was found that cutting speed was proportional to power consumption and was inversely proportional to tool life, and showed no significant effect on the cutting force and the surface roughness. Feed was proportional to cutting force, power consumption, and surface roughness and was inversely proportional to tool life. Empirical equations developed from the results for all machining responses were shown to be useful in determining the optimum cutting parameters range.

Abstract Surface machining of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) using rotary ultrasonic machining (RUM) with vertical ultrasonic vibration was effective in reducing many issues, including high cutting force, high torque, and high tool wear rate. The vertical ultrasonic vibration also induced damages to machined CFRP surfaces and then resulted in increased surface roughness. To simultaneously decrease surface roughness and cutting force, the direction of ultrasonic vibration needed to be parallel with the surface generation direction (horizontal feeding direction). The horizontal ultrasonic vibration was then developed and applied for RUM surface machining of CFRP. The application of horizontal ultrasonic vibration in RUM surface machining produced simultaneously decreased surface roughness and cutting force. However, there were no investigations on delamination in such a process, and delamination was considered as one of the major factors to reject the machined CFRP products. This investigation would study the delamination under different machining-variable groups, the delamination generation mechanisms, and the relationships between delamination and cutting forces through the experimental method in surface machining of CFRP using RUM with horizontal ultrasonic vibration. Smaller cutting force and delamination thickness would be produced by the smaller depth of cut, smaller feedrate, or larger tool rotation speed. Smaller indentation depth was generated by larger tool rotation speed or smaller feedrate. Smaller material removal rate and abrasive-grain number taking part in the cutting process were produced by the smaller depth of cut. The delamination initiation at larger uncut CFRP thickness would be induced by higher cutting force.

Based on experiment of sawing Wulian red granite with diamond circular saw, the relations between the cutting force with machining parameters are studied. Cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth are considered as the process parameters. The cutting force in sawing granite operation are measured and the experimental results are then analyzed using response surface methodology. From the analysis, it is seen that the cutting force Fx , Fy and Fz are reduced with the increase of cutting speed and increased with the increase of feed rate and cutting depth, and the mathematical models of the cutting force are developed. By ANOVA for the cutting force models, It is concluded that the models are significant at 95% confidence level and the significant effects are the first-order of cutting speed, feed speed, cutting depth and the quadratic of cutting depth.

This study was carried out to investigate how the high-speed milling of Inconel 718 using ball nose end mill could enhance the productivity and quality of the finish parts. The experimental work was carried out through Response Surface Methodology via Box-Behnken design. The effect of prominent milling parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut (DOC), and width of cut (WOC) were studied to evaluate their effects on tool life, surface roughness and cutting force. In this study, the cutting speed, feed rate, DOC, and WOC were in the range of 100 - 140 m/min, 0.1 - 0.2 mm/tooth, 0.5 - 1.0 mm and 0.2 - 1.8 mm, respectively. In order to reduce the effect of heat generated during the high speed milling operation, minimum quantity lubrication of 50 ml/hr was used. The effect of input factors on the responds was identified by mean of ANOVA. The response of tool life, surface roughness and cutting force together with calculated material removal rate were then simultaneously optimized and further described by perturbation graph. Interaction between WOC with other factors was found to be the most dominating factor of all responds. The optimum cutting parameter which obtained the longest tool life of 60 mins, minimum surface roughness of 0.262 μm and resultant force of 221 N was at cutting speed of 100 m/min, feed rate of 0.15 mm/tooth, DOC 0.5 m and WOC 0.66 mm.

In recent years, the machinability of magnesium alloy is concerned more and more by the public. In this paper, a study on the cutting properties of magnesium alloy AZ91D when dry turning with kentanium cutting tools is presented. It shows the cutting force measured by a data acquisition system which is made up of Kistler9257B piezoelectric crystal sensor dynamometer, Kistler5070A10100 charge amplifier and computer. The effect of cutting parameters on cutting force was studied, and the experimental formula was built. The tool wear and chip characteristics were observed with KYKY-EM3200 electron scanning microscope and EDAX PV9900 alpha ray spectrometer, while the surface roughness of the workpiece was measured with 2205 profilometer. Results showed that the cutting depth was the main influence factor on cutting force, followed by feed rate and cutting speed . The main form of tool wear showed to be diffusive wear and adhesive wear. The feed rate had the main influence on chip form and the workpiece surface roughness, cutting speed was less effective, the cutting depth was the least.
