Removal Processes

In material removal processes, determination of optimal machining strategy is a key factor to increase productivity. This situation is gaining more importance when machining components with complex geometry. The current practice in the determination of machining strategy mostly depends on the experience of the machine operator. However, poorly designed machining processes lead to time-consuming and costly solutions. Therefore, the improvement of machining processes plays a vital role in terms of machining costs. In this study, the machining process of a boom-body connector (GGG40) of a backhoe loader was improved. Improvements of toolpaths and cutting conditions of 22 different material removal processes were checked through a CAM software. According to the simulation results, the process plan was rearranged. Besides, some enhancements in casting model were conducted to decrease in the number of machining operations. When compared to current practice, a reduction of 55% in machining time was achieved.

Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) is a material removal process of electrically conductive materials by the thermo-electric source of energy .This kind of machining extensively used in machining of materials with highly precision productivity. This work presents the machining of titanium alloy (TI-6AL-4V) using wire electro-discharge machining with brass wire diameter 0.25mm.The objective of this work is to study the influence of three machining parameters namely peak current (IP), feed rate (FC) and wire tension (WT) to material removal rate and surface roughness followed by suggesting the best operating parameters towards good surface finish. A full factorial experimental design was used with variation of peak current, feed rate and wire tension, with results evaluated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) techniques. Parameter levels were chosen based on best practice and results from preliminary testing. Main effects plots and percentage contribution ratios (PCR) are included for the main factors and their interactions. Peak current was shown to have the greatest effect on surface roughness (33% PCR).

Electrical discharge turning is a unique form of electrical discharge machining process, which is being especially developed to generate cylindrical forms and helical profiles on the difficult-to-machine materials at both macro and micro levels. A precise submerged rotating spindle as a work holding system was designed and added to a conventional electrical discharge machine to rotate the workpiece. A conductive preshaped strip of copper as a forming tool is fed (reciprocate) continuously against the rotating workpiece; thus, mirror image of the tool is formed on the circumference of the workpiece. The machining performance of electrical discharge turning process is defined and influenced by its machining parameters, which directly affects the quality of the machined component. This study presents an investigation on the effects of the machining parameters, namely, pulse-on time, peak current, gap voltage, spindle speed and flushing pressure, on the material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (Ra) in electrical discharge turning of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. This has been done by means of Taguchi’s design of experiment technique. Analysis of variance as well as regression analysis is performed on the experimental data. The signal-to-noise ratio analysis is employed to find the optimal condition. The experimental results indicate that peak current, gap voltage and pulse-on time are the most significant influencing parameters that contribute more than 90% to material removal rate. In the context of Ra, peak current and pulse-on time come up with more than 82% of contribution. Finally, the obtained predicted optimal results were verified experimentally. It was shown that the error values are all less than 6%, confirming the feasibility and effectiveness of the adopted approach.

On this Phase I SBIR project, Creare’s overall objective was to develop and transition a technology that will increase cutting tool life and reduce overall production costs of machining ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials. We successfully demonstrated the feasibility of machining CMC materials using the Laser-Assisted Machining (LAM) approach, which utilizes a laser to preheat a thin layer of the CMC material prior to its removal using conventional machine tools. In particular, we demonstrated that the cutting forces were reduced by as much as 40% compared to conventional machining processes. This reduction enables increased processing speeds which decrease cycle times and overall processing costs. Additionally, we developed and validated a comprehensive thermal model for the edge machining of CMCs. When combined with the experimental results, the temperatures near the material removal interface for the optimal LAM condition were predicted.

This Abrasive Water Jet Machining (AWJM) process is usually used to through cut materials which are difficult to cut by conventional machining processes. This process may also be used for controlled depth milling (CDM) of materials. This work primarily focuses on controlling the abrasive flow rate to reduce the time for machining the component. Here, an experimental setup is made with a modified attachment for abrasive feed system to machine for Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The work also investigates the surface morphology, tolerance on depth of machining and surface waviness for the modified setup. With change in mass flow rate of abrasive, the traverse speed is altered and its effects on the machining time are studied. It is observed that traverse speed is an important parameter in the case of CDM for AWJM. It is also shown that surface waviness can be reduced as traverse speed is increased by using modified abrasive feeding system.

Efficient machining of advanced Ti- and Ni-based alloys, which are typically difficult-to-machine, is a challenge that needs to be addressed by the industry. During a typical machining operation of such alloys, high cutting forces imposed by a tool on the work-piece material lead to severe deformations in the process zone, along with high stresses, strains and temperatures in the material, eventually affecting the quality of finished work-piece. Conventional machining (CT) of Ti- and Ni-based alloys is typically characterized by low depths of cuts and relatively low feed rates, thus adversely affecting the material removal rates (MRR) in the machining process. In the present work, a novel machining technique, known as Ultrasonically Assisted Turning (UAT) is shown to dramatically improve machining of these intractable alloys. The developed machining process is capable of high MRR with an improved surface quality of the turned work-piece. Average cutting forces are significantly lower in UAT when compared to those in traditional turning techniques at the same machining parameters, demonstrating the capability of vibration-assisted machining as a viable machining method for the future.

This paper presents effects of silicon carbide (SiC) powder in dielectric fluid of micro EDM on material removal rate (MRR). The aim is to identify the optimum level of SiC powder concentration and other micro EDM parameter for higher MRR. The work material was titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) machined with tungsten carbide (WC) electrode by varying two machining parameters SiC powder concentrations and discharge energy. By using two factor four level factorial design of experiment, sixteen experiments were conducted. Data were analyzed by Design Expert® software. In this experimental investigation, maximum MRR of 7.3 µg/min was obtained for 24.75 g/l SiC powder concentration and 56.77 µJ discharge energy. The analysis of variance revealed that the SiC powder concentration in dielectric fluid on micro EDM has significant influence on MRR Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy.
