The titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V) have been widely used in aerospace, and medical applications and the demand is ever-growing due to its outstanding properties. In this paper, the finite element modeling on machinability of Ti-6Al-4V using cubic boron nitride and polycrystalline diamond tool in dry turning environment was investigated. This research was carried out to generate mathematical models at 95% confidence level for cutting force and temperature distribution regarding cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The Box-Behnken design of experiment was used as Response Surface Model to generate combinations of cutting variables for modeling. Then, finite element simulation was performed using AdvantEdge®. The influence of each cutting parameters on the cutting responses was investigated using Analysis of Variance. The analysis shows that depth of cut is the most influential parameter on resultant cutting force whereas feed rate is the most influential parameter on cutting temperature. Also, the effect of the cutting-edge radius was investigated for both tools. This research would help to maximize the tool life and to improve surface finish.

In this paper, based on finite element software DEFORM, the model of a large cutting depth and quasi-high speeds milling of titanium alloys is built to study the cutting temperature and cutting force variation along with the change of cutting parameters. The simulation results show that: the location of the maximum cutting temperature appears in the cutting edges of the tool nose circular profile. Meanwhile, due to workpiece material rebound in the cutting process, the interface between workpiece and tool flank face occurs serious extrusion, which results in relatively high cutting temperature on the workpiece machined surface. In addition, cutting speed and feed rate per tooth play a key role in influencing the cutting temperature. However, the influence of cutting depth on the cutting temperature is less clear. With the increase in the feed rate and depth of cut, cutting force increased significantly. In particular, within the scope of the cutting speeds under the given conditions, the cutting force has a tendency to decrease with the cutting speed increasing over 120m/min.

High-speed milling tests were performed on vol. (5%-8%) TiCp/TC4 composite in the speed range of 50-250 m/min using PCD tools to nvestigate the cutting temperature and the cutting forces. The results showed that radial depth of cut and cutting speed were the two significant influences that affected the cutting forces based on the Taguchi prediction. Increasing radial depth of cut and feed rate will increase the cutting force while increasing cutting speed will decrease the cutting force. Cutting force increased less than 5% when the reinforcement volume fraction in the composites increased from 0% to 8%. Radial depth of cut was the only significant influence factor on the cutting temperature. Cutting temperature increased with the increasing radial depth of cut, feed rate or cutting speed. The cutting temperature for the titanium composites was 40-90 °C higher than that for the TC4 matrix. However, the cutting temperature decreased by 4% when the reinforcement's volume fraction increased from 5% to 8%.

Taguchi design methodology is applied to experiments of flank mill machining parameters of titanium alloy TC11 (Ti6.5A13.5Mo2Zr0.35Si) in conventional and high speed regimes. This study includes three factors, cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut, about two types of tools. Experimental runs are conducted using an orthogonal array of L9(33), with measurement of cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness. The analysis of result shows that the factors combination for good surface roughness, low cutting temperature and low resultant cutting force are high cutting speed, low feed rate and low depth of cut.

Past two decades, the usage of ceramic tools has increased especially in milling and turning process. These advanced ceramic tools have good characteristics that are capable in maintaining high hardness in temperatures and also wears much slower when compared to carbide tools. With limited data available on the tool itself, research is to be done on these advance ceramic tools. The main purpose of this research project is to determine the cutting parameters affecting the cutting temperature and cutting force. The cutting parameters are cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate. Silicon Nitride is chosen as the tool and Steel AISI4140 is chosen as the work piece. Analysis is conducted through Box-Behnken method with 3 levels, 3 factors and 2 responses. The regression model for cutting temperature and cutting force responses are identified. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is done to determine the effect of the cutting parameters and their contribution towards the cutting temperature and cutting force response. It is found that feed rate has the most influence on cutting temperature and force. The optimal cutting parameters that produce the lowest cutting temperature and lowest cutting force are also obtained.

This paper presents to develop first-order models for predicting the cutting temperature for end-milling operation of Hastelloy C-22HS by using four different coated carbide cutting tools and two different cutting environments. The first-order equations of cutting temperature are developed using the response surface methodology (RSM). The cutting variables are cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth. The analyses are carried out with the aid of the statistical software package. It can be seen that the model is suitable to predict the longitudinal component of the cutting temperature close to those readings recorded experimentally with a 95% confident level. The results obtained from the predictive models are also compared with results obtained from finite-element analysis (FEA). The developed first-order equations for the cutting temperature revealed that the feed rate is the most crucial factor, followed by axial depth and cutting speed. The PVD coated cutting tools perform better than the CVD-coated cutting tools in terms of cutting temperature. The cutting tools coated with TiAlN perform better compared with other cutting tools during the machining performance of Hastelloy C-22HS. It followed by TiN/TiCN/TiN and CVD coated with TiN/TiCN/Al2O3 and TiN/TiCN/TiN. From the finite-element analysis, the distribution of the cutting temperature can be discussed. High temperature appears in the lower sliding friction zone and at the cutting tip of the cutting tool. Maximum temperature is developed at the rake face some distance away from the tool nose, however, before the chip lift away.

A three dimensional fully thermal-mechanical coupled finite element model had been presented to simulate and analyze the cutting temperature for high speed milling of TiAl6V4 titanium alloy. The temperature distribution induced in the tool and the workpiece was predicted. The effects of the milling speed and radial depth of cut on the maximum cutting temperature in the tool was investigated. The results show that only a rising of temperature in the lamella of the machined surface is influenced by the milling heat. The maximum temperature in the tool increases with increasing radial depth of cut and milling speed which value is 310°C at a speed of 60 m/min and increases to 740°C at 400m/min. The maximum temperature is only effective on a concentrated area at the cutting edge and the location of the maximum temperature moves away from the tool tip for higher radial depths of milling. The predicted temperature distribution during the cutting process is consistent with the experimental results given in the literature. The results obtained from this study provide a fundamental understanding the process mechanics of HSM of titanium alloys.

The understanding of cutting mechanism is important for the improvement of machinability of difficult-to-cut materials. Finite element method (FEM) is an effective way to study the metal cutting process. This paper establishes a finite element model of cylindrical turning of titanium alloys, and then simulates cutting force and tool temperature distribution under different cutting parameters. The simulation results show that in the high-speed cylindrical turning of titanium alloys, depth of cut has a greater influence on principal cutting force than feed rate, while the effect of feed rate on the maximum tool temperature is more distinct than that of depth of cut.

The unique properties of Inconel 718 make it a challenging material to machine especially in ball end milling operations due to high cutting force and temperature concentrated at the cutting zone. These essentially lead to accelerated tool wear and failure resulting in high costs and loss of production. In this research, finite element numerical simulation was performed using AdvantEdge to simulate ball end milling using an 8mm TiAlN coated carbide tool. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is applied by using a 3 level 3 factorial Box-Behnken design of experiment with different combinations of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut parameters with a selected range of parameters to simulate finishing operations. Temperature contour from finite element analysis showed that the highest temperature occurs near the depth of cut line just before the chip separates from the workpiece. Using multiple linear regression, a quadratic polynomial model is developed for maximum cutting force and a linear polynomial model peak tool temperature response respectively. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) showed that feed rate had the most significance for cutting force followed by depth of cut. Also, cutting speed was found to have little influence. For peak tool temperature, cutting speed was the most significant cutting parameter followed by feed rate and depth of cut.

Stainless steels have gained much attention to be an alternative solution for many manufacturing industries due to their high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, owing to their high ductility, their low thermal conductivity and high tendency to work hardening, these materials are classed as materials difficult to machine. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to examine the effect of cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the response parameters including surface roughness (Ra), tangential cutting force (Fz) and cutting power (Pc) during dry turning of AISI 316L using TiCN-TiN PVD cermet tool. As a methodology, the Taguchi L27 orthogonal array parameter design and response surface methodology (RSM)) have been used. Statistical analysis revealed feed rate affected for surface roughness (79.61%) and depth of cut impacted for tangential cutting force and cutting power (62.12% and 35.68%), respectively. According to optimization analysis based on desirability function (DF), cutting speed of 212.837 m/min, 0.08 mm/rev feed rate and 0.1 mm depth of cut were determined to acquire high machined part quality

Powder metallurgy (PM) nickel-based superalloy is regarded as one of the most important aerospace industry materials, which has been widely used in advanced turbo-engines. This work presents an orthogonal design experiments to study the cutting force and cutting temperature variations in the face milling of PM nickel-based superalloy with PVD coated carbide tools. Experimental results show that with the increase of feed rate and depth of cut, there is a growing tendency in cutting force, with the increase of cutting speed, cutting force decreases. Among the cutting parameters, feed rate has the greatest influence on cutting force, especially when cutting speed exceeds 60m/min. With the increase of all the cutting parameters, cutting temperature increases. However the cutting temperature increases slightly as the increasing of feed rate. Tool failure mechanisms in face milling of PM nickel-based superalloy are analyzed. It is shown that the breakage and spalling on the cutting edge are the most dominate failure mechanisms, which dominates the deterioration and final failure of the coated carbide tools.
