The selection of the optimal external cylindrical grinding conditions importantly contributes to increase of productivity and quality of the products. The external cylindrical grinding is a method of finishing machine elements surface with an indeterminate blade shape. External cylindrical grinding can process surfaces that require high gloss and precision, although it can also be used to remove large surplus stock. Therefore, multi objective optimization for the external cylindrical grinding process is a problem with high complexity. In this study, an experimental study was performed to improve the productivity and quality of grinding process. By using the experimental date, the surface roughness, cutting force, and vibrations were modeled. To achieve the minimum value of surface roughness and maximum value of material removal rate, the optimal values of external cylindrical grinding conditions were determined by using the combination of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and weighting method. The optimum values of surface roughness and material removal rate are 0.510 μm and 5.906 mm2/s, respectively. The obtained optimal values of cutting parameters were a feed rate of 0.3 mm/rev, a workpiece speed of 188.1 rpm, a cutting depth of 0.015 mm, and a workpiece Rockwell hardness of 54.78 HRC. The optimal values of cutting parameters, and workpiece hardness were successfully verified by comparing of experimental and predicted results. The approach method of this study can be applied in industrial machining to improve the productivity and quality of the products in external cylindrical grinding process of the T1 tool steel

In this study, by performing the experimental research, the surface roughness, cutting force and vibration were modeled. The Genetic Algorithms (GAs) were applied to determine the optimal values of external cylindrical grinding conditions to achieve the minimum value of surface roughness and the maximum value of the material removal rate. The optimum values of surface roughness and material removal rate are 0.490 [Formula: see text]m and 3.974 mm2/s, respectively, that were obtained at a feed rate of 0.3 m/min, at a workpiece speed of 164.82 rpm, at a cutting depth of 0.015 mm, and a workpiece Rockwell hardness of 56.32 HRC. The optimal values were successfully verified by experimental results with very promising results.

Passive grinding is a new rail grinding strategy. In this work, the influence of grinding pressure on the removal behaviors of rail material in passive grinding was investigated by using a self-designed passive grinding simulator. Meanwhile, the surface morphology of the rail and grinding wheel were observed, and the grinding force and temperature were measured during the experiment. Results show that the increase of grinding pressure leads to the rise of rail removal rate, i.e., grinding efficiency, surface roughness, residual stress, grinding force and grinding temperature. Inversely, the enhancement of grinding pressure and grinding force will reduce the grinding ratio, which indicates that service life of grinding wheel decreases. The debris presents dissimilar morphology under different grinding pressure, which reflects the distinction in grinding process. Therefore, for rail passive grinding, the appropriate grinding pressure should be selected to balance the grinding quality and the use of grinding wheel.

Abstract Optimization of the end milling process is a combinatorial task due to the involvement of a large number of process variables and performance characteristics. Process-specific numerical models or mathematical functions are required for the evaluation of parametric combinations in order to improve the quality of the machined parts and machining time. This problem could be categorized as the offline data-driven optimization problem. For such problems, the surrogate or predictive models are useful, which could be employed to approximate the objective functions for the optimization algorithms. This paper presents a data-driven surrogate-assisted optimizer to model the end mill cutting of aluminum alloy on a desktop milling machine. To facilitate that, material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (Ra), and cutting forces are considered as the functions of tool diameter, spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The principal methodology is developed using a Bayesian regularized neural network (surrogate) and a beetle antennae search algorithm (optimizer) to perform the process optimization. The relationships among the process responses are studied using Kohonen’s self-organizing map. The proposed methodology is successfully compared with three different optimization techniques and shown to outperform them with improvements of 40.98% for MRR and 10.56% for Ra. The proposed surrogate-assisted optimization method is prompt and efficient in handling the offline machining data. Finally, the validation has been done using the experimental end milling cutting carried out on aluminum alloy to measure the surface roughness, material removal rate, and cutting forces using dynamometer for the optimal cutting parameters on desktop milling center. From the estimated surface roughness value of 0.4651 μm, the optimal cutting parameters have given a maximum material removal rate of 44.027 mm3/s with less amplitude of cutting force on the workpiece. The obtained test results show that more optimal surface quality and material removal can be achieved with the optimal set of parameters.

Side milling Ti6Al4V titanium alloys with fine grain carbide cutters is carried out. The influences of milling parameters on surface roughness are investigated and also discussed with average cutting thickness, material removal rate and vibration. The results reveal that the surface roughness increases with the increase of average cutting thickness and is primarily governed by the radial cutting depth.

The vibration during external cylindrical grinding is caused by many factors such as the rigidity of the technology system, machining modes, machining materials, cooling mode, etc. This paper employed a Taguchi method to design experiments and evaluate the influence of machining mode parameters and workpiece material hardness on the vibrations when machining some types of alloy steel in external cylindrical grinding process. The influence of machining conditions on the vibrations was investigated. Besides, the mathematical models of vibration amplitudes were also modeled. The achieved results can be used to control the vibrations through machining conditions to improve the surface quality of the product.

Semi bonded abrasive lapping is an effective ultra-precision lapping method. It can obtain good surface quality of workpiece in short time. This paper focused on the differences of processing features by comparing semi bonded abrasive lapping and loose abrasive lapping in several groups processing parameters. The results showed that the surface roughness of workpiece in semi bonded abrasive lapping was far superior to that of loose abrasive lapping in same processing parameters. And the MRR (material removal rate) of semi bonded abrasive lapping was slightly lower than that of loose abrasive lapping. For these features of semi bonded abrasive, a new processing flow would also be proposed in this paper.

Abstract Low surface roughness and high Material Removal Rate (MRR) are expected in most machining methods in general and milling method in particular. However, they sometimes do not occur, for example, the MRR is often small as the surface roughness is low. In this case, the decisions made should ensure that desires are simultaneously satisfied. This situation leads to a problem known as multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). In this study, five methods including EDAS, MARCOS, PIV, MOORA and TOPSIS are used together for the decision-making in the milling process. The purpose of the research is to determine the value of cutting parameters for both the low surface roughness and large MRR. The comparison of these methods for finding the best is carefully discussed as well.
