The set-up of machining parameters for non-ferric materials such as wood and wood-based materials is not yet defined on a scientific basis. In this paper, a new rapid experimental method to assess the specific cutting coefficients when routing isotropic and orthotropic wood-based materials is presented. The method consists of routing, with different depths of cut, a given material previously machined to a round shape after having it fixed on a dynamometric platform able to measure the cutting forces. The execution of subsequent cuts using different depths of cut allows the calculation of the specific cutting coefficients. With the measurement being done during real routing operations, a method to remove machine vibrations was also developed. The specific cutting coefficients were computed for the whole set of grain orientations for orthotropic materials and as an average for isotropic ones. The aim of this paper is to present and validate the whole method by machining selected materials such as Polytetrafluoroethylene—PTFE (isotropic), Medium Density Fiberboard—MDF (isotropic), beech Laminate Veneer Lumber—LVL (orthotropic) and poplar LVL (orthotropic). The method and the proposed analysis have been shown to work very effectively and could be used for optimization and comparison between materials and processes.

Titanium Alloy Ti6al4v

Cutting force coefficients were conventionally described as the power function of instantaneous uncut chip thickness. However, it was found that the changes in the three controllable machining parameters (cutting speed, feed and axial cutting depth) could significantly affect the values of cutting coefficients. An improved cutting force model was developed in this article based on the experimental investigation of end milling titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) with polycrystalline diamond tools. The relationships between machining parameters and cutting force are established based on the introduction of the new cutting coefficients. By integrating the effects of varying cutting parameters in the prediction model, cutting forces and the fluctuation of cutting force in each milling cycle were calculated. Validation experiments show that the predicted peak values of cutting forces highly match the experimental results; the accuracy of the model is up to 90% in predicting instantaneous cutting forces.

Abstract The properties of several modified wood products were evaluated using North American standards to provide comparative data for architects seeking to use these materials. In general, modified wood products had lower moisture uptakes and less shrinkage than unmodified products. Acetylated materials were highly resistant to fungal decay, whereas thermally modified and furfurylated materials were classified as decay resistant. All materials were susceptible to mold, although the nonacetylated moisture-resistant medium-density fiberboard was most susceptible. Thermally modified and furfurylated materials were similar in mold susceptibility to untreated radiata pine sapwood, whereas acetylated materials appeared to be more mold resistant.

Purpose The main aim of the study was to measure the cutting forces and chip shapes based on different machining parameters. Design/methodology/approach To get the best optimal machining conditions, it is essential to use the best combination of machining parameters. Although some machining parameters are not important for the process, there are machining parameters which are very important for the machining process. Findings It is essential to determine which machining parameters are the most dominant to make the optimal machining conditions. Originality/value Six different chip shapes are obtained according to ISO standardization. It was determined that the different cutting forces occurred for the different chip shapes.

This paper presents a new quantitative sensitivity analysis of cutting performances in orthogonal machining with restricted contact and flat-faced tools, based on a recently developed slip-line model. Cutting performances are comprehensively measured by five machining parameters, i.e., the cutting forces, the chip back-flow angle, the chip up-curl radius, the chip thickness, and the tool-chip contact length. It is demonstrated that the percentage of contribution of tool-chip friction to the variation of cutting performances depends on different types of machining operations. No general conclusion about the effect of tool-chip friction should be made before specifying a particular type of machining operation and cutting conditions.

Abstract Tungsten heavy alloys (WHAs) are ideally suited to a wide range of density applications such as counterweights, inertial masses, radiation shielding, sporting goods and ordnance products. Manufacturing of these components essentially require machining to achieve desired finish, dimensions and tolerances However, machining of WHAs are extremely challenging because of higher values of elastic stiffness and hardness. Hence, there is a need to find the right combination of cutting parameters to carry out the machining operations efficiently. In the present work, turning tests are conducted on three different grades of WHAs, namely, 90WHA, 95WHA and 97WHA. Taguchi analysis is carried out to find out the most contributing factor as well as optimum cutting parameters that can give higher metal removal rate (MRR), lower surface roughness and lower cutting forces. It is observed that feed rate is the most prominent factor with percentage contribution varying in the range of 46–61%; whereas cutting speed has least effect on cutting forces, especially for 95WHA and 97WHA. Optimum values of forces, surface roughness and MRR and the corresponding machining parameters to be taken are presented. It is observed that 95W WHA has slightly better machinability as compared to other two grades since it gives highest MRR with lowest cutting forces and surface roughness values. The optimum machining parameter settings, so predicted, can be utilized to machine WHAs efficiently for manufacture of counter weights and inertial masses used in aerospace applications.

Abstract Furniture manufacturers in the United States are major users of a variety of wood products. In the last two decades, traditional wood products, such as hardwood lumber, veneer, and plywood have been, in part, replaced by composite panel products, such as particleboard, hardboard, and medium-density fiberboard. This paper examines the uses of traditional and composite wood products by the wood household, upholstered household, and commercial furniture industries in descriptive and numerical terms. The analysis indicates that the substitution of composite products for traditional hardwood products has subsided in recent years in the household wood furniture industry but has continued in the commercial furniture industry. Strong growth in softwood lumber use has occurred in the household wood industry and the household upholstered furniture industry but not in the commercial furniture industry. Although hardwood lumber has been displaced by softwood-based composite panel products, greater relative decreases have occurred in hardwood veneer and veneer core plywood use because of composite panel substitution. Most recent market activities, however, indicate increased use of hardwood lumber in furniture production in the 1980s. South. J. Appl. For. 12(2):102-107.

In order to acquire high machining quality and minimum machining time, cutting forces are usually modeled to understand the milling process, simulate or predict cutting forces, and optimize the machining parameters. In this paper, side milling tests were conducted on superalloy Inconel 718 with a solid carbide end mill, and the cutting forces vs. cutting time were measured. The average cutting forces were extracted from the measured instantaneous cutting forces under different feed rates of experiments, and the components of the shear forces and edge forces were determined by using the linear regression of the experimental data. The cutting force coefficients, including shear force coefficients and edge force coefficients, were identified. In addition, the algorithms of the mathematical model were implemented in Matlab. The predicted cutting forces were in good agreement with the experimentally measured forces, and the validation of the cutting force model was demonstrated.
