The significance of the micro-geometries on the cutting edge is known from numerous studies conducted in the past. However, the effect of micro-geometry on the wiper facet (also called the wiper edge) is not known. Hence, this paper investigates the effect of different micro-geometries with a focus on geometry variation on the wiper edge of a milling insert on surface roughness and forces in face milling of SAE1070 high-carbon steel. Milling inserts with sharp, rounded, chamfered edges and their combinations were manufactured on the cutting edge and wiper edge for the study. Critical surface quality parameters such as the average surface roughness (Ra), mean depth of surface roughness (Rz), and force components such as radial force (Fx), cutting force (Fy), and axial force (Fz) were evaluated. Metal cutting tests were performed at three different cutting speeds and three different feed rates to study the influence of cutting parameters and the effect of edge geometries on surface roughness. The results were correlated with the force values to understand the machining dynamics. Finite element analysis was performed to evaluate the high and low-stress zones on the insert, workpiece, and chip to understand the metal cutting mechanism of different micro-geometries. The novel finding from the study is that having identical micro-geometries on the cutting and wiper edge is the preferred combination, whereas dissimilar micro-geometries result in reduced surface quality, increased forces, and high stress on the workpiece and chip.

Austenitic stainless steels are extensively used in the areas with high corrosion. The high heat resistance and strength make them difficult-to-cut materials. The tool life in machining austenitic stainless steels is restricted by the high cutting force and temperature which induce the tool wear and edge chipped. To achieve tool edge strength and reduce the edge-related problems, tool edge preparation is applied by introducing the chamfered and honed edges. In the current paper, the effects of the cutting edge preparation in face milling of austenitic stainless steels were studied using statistical method. The output cutting parameters as cutting force, temperature were obtained by finite element analysis. The purpose for this research is to give guidance to the tool edge preparation for machining stainless steels.

The machinability of Nickel-based superalloy GH4169 is poor, the traditional methods to machining is application of cutting fluids with the active additives which cause environmental pollution and health problems. In this paper, the water vapor was applied on milling instead of cutting fluids for the aim of green milling GH4169. The effects of water vapor, oil emulsion and dry cutting on milling force and the surface roughness have been examined with carbide tools YG6A. The results of experiments indicated that application of water vapor produced lower milling force, the values were reduced about 7 percent compared to dry cutting, and it is advantage in surface roughness. The research results show that clean production was achieved in metal cutting associated with water vapor cooling and lubricating.

Material constitutive equation plays an important role in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of metal cutting process. This paper proposes a method to obtain parameters for Power Law model of a Japanese type of alloy steel (SCM440H) for 3-D FEA of face milling process, involving pressure bar experiments and orthogonal metal cutting experiments. Since pressure bar test cannot reach the high strain rate occurred in cutting process, orthogonal cutting experiment was combined to obtain parameters for material model. By this method, the ideal parameters for FEA of the face milling process were finally determined. Face milling experiments were performed to verify the accuracy of the model built.

During face milling machining, several machining parameters such as feed rate and cuttingspeed determine the surface quality of the workpiece produced by the process. The selection of the rightparameters will lead to the surface quality as planned. Therefore, to improve machining effectiveness, amethod is needed to determine the appropriate machining parameters to produce the desired surfacequality. This research was conducted using a milling machine, five variations of cutting speed and fivevariations of feed rate were used to cut the workpiece aluminum alloy 7075. After machining, the surfaceroughness was measured using a surface test. The surface roughness value is then substituted into thefeed rate equation and effective cutting speed. By finding effective cutting parameters, the machiningprocess will be more efficient and effective without using unnecessary resources. From the results of thestudy note that the development equation to determine the feed rate based on the value of surfaceroughness is ???? = 0,6????√???? ????????0.443mm/tooth. Development equation to determine the effective cutting speedbased on Surface roughness value is ???????? = 3.0686????????0.124 mm/min

The purpose of this work was to analyze the effect of the side cutting-edge angle on the surface roughness of aluminum 1350 in a turning operation. A Taguchi design L32 was used in this work; the control variables were spindlespeed, feed rate, depth of cutting and the side cutting-edge angle. Several metal cutting experiments and statistical tests provide evidence that the side cutting-edge angle significantly affects the surface roughness with a Statistical F equal to 24.96, mainly, when the side cutting-edge angle is maintained at high level; in this study, the high level was kept to 5.0 degrees. Also, when the high level condition is kept, it causes a major variation of the residual values; consequently, the surface roughness of the workpiece falls out of the specifications demanded by customers.Moreover, the best combination of the cutting parameters for a minimum surface roughness equal to 23.5 μin wasobtained. Finally, further research directions are presented.

Various modeling techniques have applied by researchers to predict values of surface roughness parameters in different metal cutting processes. Some examples of these methods are briefly introduced. After this an analytical model and investigation method are presented which were used to make predictions of the expected values of surface roughness parameters. Cutting experiments were performed to obtain real roughness data and to validate the proposed and realised model by face milling of 42CrMo4 specimens with two different insert shapes. Conditions and results of these experimental investigations are presented in the subsequent part of the paper, and finally the determined approximation relations are introduced that can be used to calculate the expected roughness values from theoretical data.

Micro-grinding is an important processing method in micro-manufacturing field. The influence factors of surface quality in micro-grinding are discussed in the article. The models of finite element analysis (FEA) in micro-grinding H62 with electroplated CBN micro-grinding tool were established. The influence of different grinding factors on the surface quality of the work-piece was discussed by FEA. Different grains sizes were considered to reveal the influence rules on surface roughness in grinding experiments. The results show that the surface roughness decreases with the decreasing of the feed speed and the increasing of the grinding speed. A better surface quality can be achieved with smaller grains sizes. The minimum surface roughness can reach 481nm in side grinding H62.

Abstract The stone products with different sizes, geometries and materials — like machine tool's bench, measuring machine's board or sculptures, floor tiles — can be produced automatically while the manufacturing engineer uses objective function similar to metal cutting. This function can minimise the manufacturing time or the manufacturing cost, in other cases it can maximise of the tool's life. To use several functions, manufacturing engineers need an overall theoretical background knowledge, which can give useful information about the choosing of technological parameters (e.g. feed rate, depth of cut, or cutting speed), the choosing of applicable tools or especially the choosing of the optimum motion path. A similarly important customer's requirement is the appropriate surface roughness of the machined (cut, sawn or milled) stone product. This paper's first part is about a five-month-long literature review, which summarizes in short the studies (researches and results) considered the most important by the authors. These works are about the investigation of the surface roughness of stone products in stone machining. In the second part of this paper the authors try to determine research possibilities and trends, which can help to specify the relation between the surface roughness and technological parameters. Most of the suggestions of this paper are about stone milling, which is the least investigated machining method in the world.
