Design and manufacturing are the key steps in the sustainable manufacturing of any product to be produced. Within the perspective of injection molds production, increased competitiveness and repeated changes in the design require a complete optimized manufacturing process. Local and minor improvements in the milling process do not generally lead to an optimized manufacturing process. The goal of the new geometry and parametric analysis of the mould is to reduce the quality issues in mild steel grade 60. In this explicit research, the surface roughness (smoothness) of indigenously produced injection moulds in the local market in Pakistan is investigated. The CNC milling machine (five-axis) is used for the manufacturing of an injection mould, and the Taguchi method of the design of the experiment is applied for parameters optimization. Hence, the overall process is assisted in balancing the milling machine parameters to trim down the surface roughness issue in mild steel moulds and increase their sustainability. The spindle speed (rpm), the depth of cut (mm), and the feed rate (mm/rev) are considered as input variables for process optimization, and the experiments are performed on mild steel grade 60. It is deduced that the combination of a spindle speed of 800 rpm, feed rate of 10 mm/rev and depth of cut of 0.5 mm is the best case in case of minimum surface roughness, which leads to sustainable products. It is also deduced from ANOVA, that the spindle speed is a factor that affects the surface roughness of mild steel products, while the feed rate turns out to be insignificant.

Abstract In an effort to make microfluidic research more attractive and cost-effective, micromilled polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has gained interests as an alternative method to the conventional cleanroom-based micromolds fabrication technologies. The most enabling aspects of micromilling are flexibility on the design changes and the ability to fabricate three-dimensional structures. However, the major drawback of micromilling based micromold fabrication is the presence of burrs and tool marks on the surface after machining. High surface roughness on replicated polymer results in poor bonding strength and optical clarity. The roughness of micromilled surface strongly depends on the machining parameters such as tool size, spindle speed, feed rate, width of cut, and depth of cut. Thus, it is crucial to optimize the machining parameters to obtain a good surface finish. Although the optimal fabrication parameters are used to machine the micromold, the surface roughness of micromilled mold is still relative high compared to the surface of unprocessed PMMA. In this paper, we first optimize the micromilling parameters of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) milling machine to achieve the best possible of surface roughness. We have optimized the machining parameters for a flat endmill with 100 μm, 200 μm, and 400 μm in diameter of spindle speed, feed rate, width of cut, and the depth of cut respectively at 18000 rpm, 20 mm/min, 30 μm, and 20 μm. Then, a method to polish the structured surface of the micromilled mold was developed using the rotary magnetic field. By modifying the CNC program language G-code, we were able to control the polishing path, polishing force and time precisely. Consequently, the burrs and tool marks are completely removed, such that the roughness of the surface is decreased from 350 nm Ra to 30 nm Ra, and 1200 nm Rz to 300 nm Rz while the profile of microstructures is not deteriorated. Finally, we demonstrate our mold fabrication scheme by building a microfluidic immunoassay device with four Quake’s valves and showed the sequential assay process successfully.

A wonderful unique research developments in modeling surface roughness and optimization of the predominant parameters to get a surface finish of desired level since only suitable selection of cutting parameters can get a better surface finish, so the objective of this work is to study the milling process parameters which include tool diameter, feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut resulting in optimal values of the surface roughness during machining AL-alloy 7024. The machining operation implemented on XK7124 3-axis CNC milling machine. The effects of the selected parameters on the chosen characteristics have been accomplished using Taguchi’s parameter design approach. The parameters considered are – depth of cut with two levels (0.2, 0.5 mm), tool diameter with two levels (6, 8 mm), spindle speed with two levels (1000, 2500 rpm), and finally feed rate with two levels (200, 500 mm/min). Analysis of the results showed that the optimal settings for low values of surface roughness are large tool diameter (8 mm), high spindle speed (2500 r.p.m), low feed rate (200 mm/min) and high depth of cut (0.5 mm). Response Table for mean of surface roughness showed that tool diameter has the most effected factors (rank one) followed by feed rate (rank two) then depth of cut which is the third effected factors and finally spindle speed with the less effected factors of surface roughness (rank four).

This research is an approach to investigate the effect of cutting condition on surface roughness in dry and flood cutting of AISI 1030. The objectives of this project are to compare the plastic injection mould quality between dry and flood cutting condition, as well as to determine the best cutting condition. The parameters used were depth of cut (0.25mm, 0.5mm, and 1.0mm), feed rate (50mm/rev, 100mm/rev and 150mm/rev) and cutting speed (700m/min, 1400m/min and 2100m/min). Surface roughness value was used to determine to quality characteristic of the machined mould. The experiments were done using Mazak CNC milling machine and the material selected was AISI 1030, which is a medium tensile and low hardenability carbon steel. Twenty-seven runs were done in both dry and flood cutting, adapting Taguchi Method - Orthogonal Array. After each machining, the surface roughness was measured using Mitutoyo Surface Roughness Tester. The data obtained was then analyzed through Signal to Noise Ratio calculation. This analysis produced the best combination of parameters which gives the lowest surface roughness. The best combinations for dry cutting are 2100m/min for cutting speed, 50mm/rev for feed rate and 0.25mmfor depth of cut. As for flood cutting, the best combinations are 2100m/min for cutting speed, 50mm/rev for feed rate and 1.0mm for depth of cut. The surface roughness obtained using this parameter in dry cutting is 0.27Ám and 0.40Ám in flood cutting. From the comparison, it is proved that dry cutting produced lower surface roughness compared to flood cutting.

This research presents a model for prediction surface roughness in terms of process parameters in turning aluminum alloy 1200. The geometry to be machined has four rotational features: straight, taper, convex and concave, while a design of experiments was created through the Taguchi L25 orthogonal array experiments in minitab17 three factors with five Levels depth of cut (0.04, 0.06, 0.08, 0.10 and 0.12) mm, spindle speed (1200, 1400, 1600, 1800 and 2000) r.p.m and feed rate (60, 70, 80, 90 and 100) mm/min. A multiple non-linear regression model has been used which is a set of statistical extrapolation processes to estimate the relationships input variables and output which the surface roughness which prediction outside the range of the data. According to the non-linear regression model, the optimum surface roughness can be obtained at 1800 rpm of spindle speed, feed-rate of 80 mm/min and depth of cut 0.04 mm then the best surface roughness comes out to be 0.04 μm at tapper feature at depth of cut 0.01 mm and same spindle speed and feed rate pervious which gives the error of 3.23% at evolution equation.

Micro end milling is one of the most important micromachining process and widely used for producing miniaturized components with high accuracy and surface finish. This paper present the influence of three micro end milling process parameters; spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut on surface roughness (Ra) and material removal rate (MRR). The machining was performed using multi-process micro machine tools (DT-110 Mikrotools Inc., Singapore) with poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) as the workpiece and tungsten carbide as its tool. To develop the mathematical model for the responses in high speed micro end milling machining, Taguchi design has been used to design the experiment by using the orthogonal array of three levels L18 (21×37). The developed models were used for multiple response optimizations by desirability function approach to obtain minimum Ra and maximum MRR. The optimized values of Ra and MRR were 128.24 nm, and 0.0463 mg/min, respectively obtained at spindle speed of 30000 rpm, feed rate of 2.65 mm/min, and depth of cut of 40 μm. The analysis of variance revealed that spindle speeds are the most influential parameters on Ra. The optimization of MRR is mostly influence by feed rate.

Milling is one of the most practical machining processes for removing excess material to produce high quality surfaces. However, milling of composite materials is a rather complex task, owing to its heterogeneity and poor surface finish, which includes fibre pullout, matrix delamination, sub-surface damage and matrix polymer interface failure. In this study, an attempt has been made to optimize milling parameters with multiple performance characteristics in the edge milling operation, based on the Grey Relational Analysis coupled with Taguchi method. Taguchi’s L18 orthogonal array was used for the milling experiment. Milling parameters such as milling strategy, spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut are optimised along with multiple performance characteristics, such as machining forces and delamination. Response table of grey relational grade for four process parameters is used for the analysis to produce the best output; the optimal combination of the parameters. From the response table of the average GRG, it is found that the largest value of the GRG is for down milling, spindle speed of 1000 rpm, feed rate of 150 mm/min and depth of cut 0.4 mm.

Cutting fluid plays an important role in machining processes to achieve dimensional accuracy in reducing tool wear and improving the tool life. Conventional flood cooling method in machining processes is not cost effective and consumption of huge amount of cutting fluids is not healthy and environmental friendly. In micromachining, flood cooling is not recommended to avoid possible damage of the microstructures. Therefore, one of the alternatives to overcome the environmental issues to use minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL) in machining process. MQL is eco-friendly and has economical advantage on manufacturing cost. However, there observed lack of study on MQL in improving machined surface roughness in micromilling. Study of the effects of MQL on surface roughness should be carried out because surface roughness is one of the important issues in micromachined parts such as microfluidic channels. This paper investigates and compares surface roughness with the presence of MQL and dry cutting in micromilling of aluminium alloy 1100 using DT-110 milling machine. The relationship among depth of cut, feed rate, and spindle speed on surface roughness is also analyzed. All three machining parameters identified as significant for surface roughness with dry cutting which are depth of cut, feed rate, and spindle speed. For surface roughness with MQL, it is found that spindle speed did not give much influence on surface roughness. The presence of MQL provides a better surface roughness by decreasing the friction between tool and workpiece.
