Carbon Fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are widely used in the aerospace industry due to their highly mechanical properties and low density. Most of these materials are used in high-risk structures, where the damage caused by machining must be controlled and minimized. The optimization of these processes is still a challenge in the industry. In this work, a special cutting device, which allows for orthogonal cutting tests, with a linear displacement at a wide range of constant cutting speeds, has been developed by the authors. This paper describes the developed cutting device and its application to analyze the influence of tool geometry and cutting parameters on the material damage caused by the orthogonal cutting of a thick multidirectional CFRP laminate. The results show that a more robust geometry (higher cutting edge radius and lower rake angle) and higher feed cause an increase in the thrust force of a cutting tool, causing burrs and delamination damage. By reducing the cutting speed, the components with a higher machining force were also observed to have less surface integrity control.

This paper presents an experimental investigation of the cutting forces response during the orthogonal cutting of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and PTFE-based composites using the Taguchi method. Cutting experiments were conducted using the L27 orthogonal array and the effects of the cutting parameters (feed rate, cutting speed and rake angle) on the cutting force were analyzed using the S/N ratio response and the analysis of variance (ANOVA). Statistical models that correlate the cutting force with process variables were developed using ANOVA and polynomial regression. The variation of the apparent friction coefficient was analyzed with respect to tool geometry and the cutting process. The results indicated that cutting and thrust forces increase with increasing feed rate, and decrease with increasing rake angles from negative to positive values and increasing cutting speed. A power law relationship between the apparent friction coefficient and the normal force exerted by the chip on the tool-rake face was identified, the former decreasing with an increasing normal force.

A finite element model of a two dimensional orthogonal cutting process is developed. The simulation uses standard finite software is able to solve complex thermo-mechanical problems. A thermo-visco-plastic model for the machined material and a rigid cutting tool were assumed. One of the main characteristic of titanium alloy is serrated shape for a wide range of cutting conditions. In order to understand the influence of cutting parameters on the chip formation when machining titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. The influence of the cutting speed,the cutting depth and the feed on the chip shape giving rise to segmented chips by strain localisation is respectively discussed.

The chip formation and morphology are definitely affected by tool geometry and cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cutting. An experiment investigation was presented to study the influence of tool geometry on chip morphology, and to clarify the effect of different cutting parameters on chip deformation in orthogonal turning the wheel steel. The result obtained in this study showed that tool geometry affected the chip morphology significantly; cutting speed was the most contributive factor in forming saw-tooth chip.

This paper presents experimental study on conditions for built-up-edge (BUE) formation and its effects in micromilling. Surface finish and BUE area density on a micromilled surface are used to quantify the presence of BUE. A model for surface finish is derived based on the topography of milled surface and tool geometry. Assuming no BUE formation, this empirical model shows the dependence of surface finish on chip load, tool concavity angle, and includes the effect of cutting parameters and milling modes (up-milling or down-milling). Micromilling tools of 100–400 μm diameters are used for milling stainless steel at 10–60 m/min cutting speed, 0.05–1 μm/flute chip load, in minimum quality lubrication condition (MQL). A BUE, embedded onto either a milled surface or tool cutting edge or chip, is identified by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy techniques; the severity of BUE formation is quantified as area density when observing a machined surface at high magnification with optical microscopy or interferometry. Condition for BUE formation is presented by mapping the surface finish and BUE area density against cutting speed and chip load. A microtool would fracture catastrophically at high cutting speeds and/or high chip loads due to excessive dynamic stresses on a microtool; such tool would also fail at the other extreme when low cutting speeds and chip loads promote formation and detachment of BUE on the tool surface, therefore, chipping the fragile microcutting edges of a microtool. There is an optimal zone for effective micromilling without tool failure and BUEs. The measured surface finish approaches the theoretical value when BUE is absent, i.e. micromilling in minimum quantity lubrication at cutting speed between 40–60 m/min and chip load higher than 0.15μm/tooth. The BUE area density for up-milling is lower than that for down-milling at low cutting speed; such difference gradually diminishes when selecting milling parameters in the optimal zone where BUE is practically absent.

Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) use in many industries applications has seen a dramatic increase over the last decade. Milling is the most practical machining operation for removing excess material. The work presented details the effect of different cutting parameters on the surface roughness and integrity of machined multidirectional CFRP laminates. The results indicate that the surface morphology mainly relates to the fiber orientation. Increasing cutting speed leads to severe softening, degradation and burning of the matrix material that binds fibers together. The feed speed has little effect on the surface morphology. And the roughness value Ra increases with the feed rate, and decreases with the cutting speed.

In recent years, applications have been proven finite-element method (FEM) in metal-cutting operations to be effective process in the study of cutting and chip formation. In this study, the simulation results are useful for both researchers and machine tool manufacturers for improving the design of cutting parameters. Finite-element analysis (FEA) that used in this study of simulation the cutting parameters and tool geometries effects on the force and temperature in turning AISI 1040. The simulation parameters that used in this study are cutting speed (75 - 300 m/min),feed rate (0.2 mm/rev), cut depth (0.75-1.5 mm), and rake angle (0-20 °). The results of cutting forces were (240 – 520 N), the temperature were (300-420 °C), and the heat rate (14202.3-83772.8 W/mm3) on the cutting edge. The simulation process also show that the increase of cutting speed leads to decrease in the cutting forces, while it has increasing in temperature, and heat rate. Also, the results show that the increase of cutting depth associated increase the cutting force only.

A new high speed machining experiment is designed to obtain orthogonal cutting in a wide range of cutting speeds from 7 m/s to 100 m/s. Quasi-stationary cutting conditions are obtained. The measurement of the longitudinal cutting force reveals the existence of an optimal cutting speed for which the energy consumption is minimum. The genuine tool-workpiece material interaction can be analyzed with that experimental device.

Due to the superior mechanical and thermal properties of SiCp/Al composites, their poor machinability has been the main deterrent to their substitution for metal parts. Machining of SiCp/Al composites has been considerably difficult because the extremely abrasive nature of SiC reinforcements causes rapid tool wear. In this paper, an experiment was carried out to investigate the influence of the cutting speed, cutting depth and tool rake angle on cutting force during orthogonal machining of SiCp/Al composites. The results indicate that the cutting depth is one of the main cutting parameters that affect the cutting force, while the cutting speed and tool rake angle have no significant effects on the cutting force.
