RS (residual stresses) represent the main role in the performance of structures and machined parts. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the effect of feed rate with constant cutting speed and depth of cut on residual stresses in orthogonal cutting, using Tungsten carbide cutting tools when machining AISI 316 in turning operation. AISI 316 stainless steel was selected in experiments since it is used in many important industries such as chemical, petrochemical industries, power generation, electrical engineering, food and beverage industry. Four feed rates were selected (0.228, 0.16, 0.08 and 0.065) mm/rev when cutting speed is constant 71 mm/min and depth of cutting 2 mm. The experimental results of residual stresses were (-15.75, 12.84, 64.9, 37.74) MPa and the numerical results of residual stresses were (-15, 12, 59, and 37) MPa. The best value of residual stresses is (-15.75 and -15) MPa when it is in a compressive way. The results showed that the percentage error between numerical by using (ABAQUS/ CAE ver. 2017) and experimental work measured by X-ray diffraction is range (2-15) %.

Trochoidal Milling

Surface quality has always been an important goal in the manufacturing industry, as it is not only related to the achievement of appropriate geometrical tolerances but also plays an important role in the tribological behavior of the surface as well as its resistance to fatigue and corrosion. Usually, in order to achieve sufficiently high surface quality, process parameters, such as cutting speed and feed, are regulated or special types of cutting tools are used. In the present work, an alternative strategy for slot milling is adopted, namely, trochoidal milling, which employs a more complex trajectory for the cutting tool. Two series of experiments were initially conducted with traditional and trochoidal milling under various feed and cutting speed values in order to evaluate the capabilities of trochoidal milling. The findings showed a clear difference between the two milling strategies, and it was shown that the trochoidal milling strategy is able to provide superior surface quality when the appropriate process parameters are also chosen. Finally, the effect of the depth of cut, coolant and trochoidal stepover on surface roughness during trochoidal milling was also investigated, and it was found that lower depths of cut, the use of coolant and low values of trochoidal stepover can lead to a considerable decrease in surface roughness.

The current work presents the development of cost model for tooling during high speed hard turning of AISI 4340 hardened steel using regression analysis. A set of experimental data using ceramic cutting tools, composed approximately of Al2O3 (70%) and TiC (30%) on AISI 4340 heat treated to a hardness of 60 HRC was obtained in the following design boundary: cutting speeds (175-325 m/min), feed rate (0.075-0.125 m/rev), negative rake angle (0 to -12) and depth of cut of (0.1-0.15) mm. The output data is used to develop a new model in predicting the tooling cost using in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and rake angle. Box Behnken Design was used in developing the model. Predictive regression model was found to be capable of good predictions the tooling cost within the boundary design.

Abstract Although Inconel 718 is an important material for modern aircraft and aerospace, it is a kind material, which is known to have low machinability. Especially, while these types of materials are machined, high cutting temperatures, BUE on cutting tool, high cutting forces and work hardening occur. Therefore, in recent years, instead of producing new cutting tools that can withstand these difficult conditions, cryogenic process, which is a heat treatment method to increase the wear resistance and hardness of the cutting tool, has been applied. In this experimental study, feed force, surface roughness, vibration, cutting tool wear, hardness and abrasive wear values that occurred as a result of milling of Inconel 718 material by means of cryogenically treated and untreated cutting tools were investigated. Three different cutting speeds (35-45-55 m/min) and three different feed rates (0.02-0.03-0.04 mm/tooth) at constant depth of cut (0.2 mm) were used as cutting parameters in the experiments. As a result of the experiments, lower feed forces, surface roughness, vibration and cutting tool wear were obtained with cryogenically treated cutting tools. As the feed rate and cutting speed were increased, it was seen that surface roughness, vibration and feed force values increased. At the end of the experiments, it was established that there was a significant relation between vibration and surface roughness. However, there appeared an inverse proportion between abrasive wear and hardness values. While BUE did not occur during cryogenically treated cutting tools, it was observed that BUE occurred in cutting tools which were not cryogenically treated.

High speed milling experiments using nitrogen-oil-mist as cutting medium were undertaken to investigate the characteristics of tool wear for Ti-6Al-4V Alloy, a kind of important and commonly used titanium alloy in the aerospace and automobile industries. Uncoated carbide tools have been applied in the experiments. The cutting speed was 300 m/min. The axial depth of cut and the radial depth of cut were kept constant at 5.0 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively. The feed per tooth was 0.1 mm/z. Optical and scanning electron microscopes have been utilized to determine the wear mechanisms of the cutting tools, and energy spectrum analysis has been carried out to measure the elements distribution at the worn areas. Meanwhile, comparisons were made to discuss the influence of different cutting media such as nitrogen-oil-mist and air-oil–mist upon the tool wear. The results of this investigation indicate that the tool life in nitrogen-oil-mist is significantly longer than that in air-oil-mist, and nitrogen-oil-mist is more suitable for high speed milling of Ti-6Al-4V alloy than air-oil-mist.

The Cost

Stops to exchange cutting tool, to set up again the tool in a turning operation with CNC or to measure the workpiece dimensions have direct influence on production. The premature removal of the cutting tool results in high cost of machining, since the parcel relating to the cost of the cutting tool increases. On the other hand the late exchange of cutting tool also increases the cost of production because getting parts out of the preset tolerances may require rework for its use, when it does not cause bigger problems such as breaking of cutting tools or the loss of the part. Therefore, the right time to exchange the tool should be well defined when wanted to minimize production costs. When the flank wear is the limiting tool life, the time predetermination that a cutting tool must be used for the machining occurs within the limits of tolerance can be done without difficulty. This paper aims to show how the life of the cutting tool can be calculated taking into account the cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed and depth of cut), workpiece material, power of the machine, the dimensional tolerance of the part, the finishing surface, the geometry of the cutting tool and operating conditions of the machine tool, once known the parameters of Taylor algebraic structure. These parameters were raised for the ABNT 1038 steel machined with cutting tools of hard metal.

AbstractIn this study, the effects of the particle reinforcement ratio on cutting forces and surface roughness were investigated when milling particle-reinforced metal matrix composite (MMCp) produced by hot pressing with different cutting tools. Alumix 123 alloy as the matrix material and B4C particles with an average size of 27 μm and 5%, 10% and 15% ratio as reinforcing elements were used for the manufacture of composite materials. The experiments were carried out in dry cutting conditions with four different cutting speeds, constant feed rate and depth of cut. Changes depending on the increased reinforcement ratio in cutting forces and surface roughness values were investigated; the effects of 10% B4C reinforced composite on tool wear were also examined. It was observed that cutting forces increased with the increase in cutting speed and particle ratio with carbide cutting tools, and it was seen that the cutting forces on the cutting tools decreased when cutting speed decreased and the cutting forces increased as the reinforcement ratios increased. In addition, with increasing the cutting speed, the surface roughness of the machined surfaces of composite samples increased with the carbide tools, while the cubic boron nitride (CBN) tools have the opposite effect. While it was seen that flank and crater wear occurred on the cemented carbide cutting tools, abrasive, adhesive and other wear mechanism tools in addition to the main wear mechanism, no remarkable flank and crater wear occurred on CBN cutting tools.

This research outlines an experimental study to determine the optimum parameter of cutting tool for the best surface roughness (Ra) of Aluminum Alloy (AA) 6063. For the experiment in this research, cutting parameters such as cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate are used to identify the effect of both cutting tools which are tungsten carbide and cermet towards the surface roughness (Ra) of material AA6063. The machining operation involved to cut the material is turning process by using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Lathe machine. The experimental design was designed by Full Factorial. The experiment that had been conducted by the researcher is 33 with 2 replications. The total number of the experiments that had been run is 54 runs for each cutting tool. Thus, the total number of experiments for both cutting tools is 108 runs. ANOVA analysis had been analyzed to identify the significant factor that affect the Ra result. The significant factors that affect the Ra result of AA6063 are feed rate and cutting speed. The researcher used main effect plot to determine the factor that most influenced the surface roughness of AA6063, the optimum condition of surface roughness and the optimum parameter of cutting tool. The factor that most influenced the surface roughness of AA6063 is feed rate. The optimum condition of surface roughness is at the feed rate of 0.05 mm/rev, cutting speed of 600 rpm and depth of cut of 0.10 mm. While the optimum parameter of cutting tool is cermet insert with the lowest value of surface roughness (Ra) result which is 0.650 μm.

Ti(C, N)-based cermet cutting tools were prepared by vacuum sintering and tested in dry machining of normalized medium carbon steel (AISI1045) at various combinations of cutting speed (Vc), feed rate (f), and depth of cut (ap). And the wear mechanism was investigated in detail using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron-probe microanalysis (EPMA). Comparing to the cemented carbide YT15 and cermet TN20, the newly fabricated cermet tools exhibited better performance and higher wear resistance. For Ti(C, N)-based cermet tools, the wear mechanism was predominantly controlled by the flank wear under all cutting condition. It was found that the removal of the ceramic grain and abrasive wear were the main source of tools failure. In addition, adhesion and oxidation were also observed.

The study of cutting fluid performance in turning is of great importance because its optimization characteristics has associated benefits such as improved tool life and overall quality of machined components as well as reduction in power consumption during machining. However, there are recent concerns with the use of cutting fluids from the environmental and health standpoints. Since environmental legislation has become more rigorous, the option for “green machining” attracts the interest of several manufacturing companies. It is important to consider the cost of machining which is associated with tool wear, depending on the cutting environment. The use of vegetable oil may be an interesting alternative to minimize the health and environmental problems associated with cutting fluids without compromising machining performance. This paper presents a comparative study of mineral and vegetable cutting fluids in terms of tool wear after turning SAE 1050 steel grade with cemented carbide cutting tools. Constant depth of cut of 2mm and variable cutting speed (200 and 350 m/min) and feed rate (0.20 and 0.32 mm/rev) were employed. Test results suggest that is possible to achieve improvement in machinability of the material and increase tool life by using vegetable cutting fluid during machining. Tool life increased by about 85% when machining with vegetable-based fluids compared to mineral-based fluids. Analysis of the worn tools, however, revealed a more uniform wear on the worn flank face when machining with mineral-based fluids.
