This study aimed at improving the cutting performance of a ceramic tool to which were added solid lubricant particles. We prepared the self-lubricating ceramic tool by adding CaF2@Al2O3 instead of CaF2, and the self-lubricating ceramic tool with Al2O3 as matrix phase, Ti(C,N) as reinforcement phase. The properties of the ceramic tool with different contents of CaF2@Al2O3 and CaF2 were studied by turning 40Cr. Compared with the ceramic tool with 10 vol.% CaF2, the main cutting force and the cutting temperature of the ceramic tool with 10 vol.% CaF2@Al2O3 decreased by 67.25% and 38.14% respectively. The wear resistance and machining surface quality of the ceramic tool with CaF2@Al2O3 were better than the ceramic tool to which were directly added CaF2. The optimal content of CaF2@Al2O3 particles was determined to be 10 vol.%. The addition of CaF2@Al2O3 particles effectively reduces the adverse effect of direct addition of CaF2 particles on the ceramic tool, and plays a role in improving the cutting performance of the ceramic tool.

In this paper, the dry cutting performance of Al2O3/TiC-based ceramic composites with nanoCaF2 was studied. Compared with the Al2O3/TiC ceramic tool, the Al2O3/TiC/CaF2 ceramic tool has lower cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness when milling 40Cr hardened steel. Three cutting parameters of cutting speed, feed per tooth, and cutting depth were used to conduct orthogonal experiments to study its changing trend. Through testing of cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness, and by comparison with ceramic tools without nanosolid lubricant added, the order of influence of three cutting parameters on cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness was obtained. The experimental results showed that the cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness of Al2O3/TiC/CaF2 ceramic tools containing nanoCaF2 werebetter than those of Al2O3/TiC ceramic tools. The cutting force, the cutting temperature, and the surface roughness were respectively reduced by 16.5%, 25.8% and 43% compared to when no solid lubricant was added. In addition, after adding solid lubricant, the effect of cutting depth on cutting force was significantly reduced. The average friction coefficient of the tool rake surface was 31.1% lower than that of ceramic tools without solid lubricant. In order to explain this phenomenon, through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) scanning and energy spectroscopy (EDS) elemental analysis, the wear reduction mechanism of solid lubricants was analyzed, that is, during the cutting process, nanosolid lubricants precipitated and formed lubricating film on the rake surface of the tool to reduce the friction coefficient. This was also the main reason for reducing the cutting temperature.

Inconel 100 (IN100) aerospace superalloy is used in manufacturing aero-engine components that operate at intermediate temperatures. It is considered to be a hard-to-cut material. Chipping of the tool edge is one of the major failure mechanisms of ceramic tools in finish cutting of superalloys, which causes a sudden breakage of the cutting edge during machining. Cutting temperature significantly depends on cutting speed. Varying the cutting speed will affect the frictional action during the machining operations. However, proper selection of the cutting variables, especially the cutting speed, can prevent chipping occurrence. In this work, the influence of controlling the cutting speed on the chipping formation in dry finish turning of IN100 aerospace superalloy using SiAlON ceramic tool has been investigated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM)/energy dispersing spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and three-dimensional wear measurements were used to make the investigations of the worn tool edges. It was found that variations of the cutting speeds in a certain range resulted in the generation of different lubricious and protective tribo-films. The presence of these tribo-films at the cutting region proved essential to prevent chipping of the cutting tool edge and to improve its wear resistance during finish turning of age-hardened IN 100 using SiAlON ceramic tools. Chip compression ratio and calculated values of the coefficient of friction at the tool–chip interface confirmed these results.

TiC-based ceramic cutting tools with three different particle size levels of Al2O3 additives were fabricated and tested. Theses tool materials were identified as TA, TA10A5 and TA30A5 respectively in this study. Another commercial cutting material identified as LT55 was used in this study as baseline to investigate cutting performance by comparing the flank wear size. The experimental results showed that multi-scale nanocomposite ceramic tool TA10A5 had much better wear resistance than the other tools when turning at a lower speed. The wear mechanisms were mainly adhesive wear in the rake face. While cutting at a higher speed, the breakage failure occurred for the tools TA10A5 and TA30A5.

The objective of this work is to model the cutting properties generated during grinding with internal lubricating wheel. Grinding FEM was carried out with this internal lubricating wheel. The machining properties were assessed in terms of grinding temperature. The results showed that an obvious effect in decreasing the cutting temperature can be obtained by reducing the friction coefficient between the self-lubricating wheel and the TC4 alloy through delivering the solid lubricant directly to the surface of the wheel without the use of inner coolant conditions.

This study deals with the cutting performance of ceramic tools in turning of mild steel and BN free-machining steel based on it. The tool lives of ceramic tools in turning standard steel were less than 15 min at the cutting speed 250 m/min. On the other hand, the tool lives in turning of BN free-machining steel were obvious longer than that of standard steel. The tool life of TiC added alumina ceramic tool reached almost 10 hours in the case that the tool life criteria was set at VB=0.3mm. This tool life was twice as long as that of coated carbide tool.

Abstract Background and Purpose. There is limited research on the effects of the number of exercises a person is told to perform on compliance and performance, as defined by cueing requirements, correct alignment, and quality of movement. Some studies of medication suggest that compliance decreases as the number of medications increases. The purpose of this study was to determine whether older adults comply and perform better (ie, requiring less cueing, exhibiting correct alignment, and exhibiting controlled, coordinated, and continuous movements) when they are asked to do 2, 5, or 8 exercises. Subjects. Subjects were 11 women and 4 men, aged 67 to 82 years (X̄=72.8), who were living independently in their communities. Methods. Subjects were randomly prescribed 2, 5, or 8 general strengthening home exercises. They were instructed on their exercises at an initial session and asked to record the number of repetitions performed each day in a self-report exercise log. At a return session 7 to 10 days later, subjects were scored on their performance of the prescribed exercises using a newly designed assessment tool. Results. The group that was prescribed 2 exercises performed better, as defined by their performance tool score, than the group that was prescribed 8 exercises. The group that was prescribed 5 exercises was not different from the groups that performed 2 or 8 exercises. No differences were found among groups regarding the self-report measurement of compliance. There was a moderate correlation between performance scores and the self-report percentage rates. Conclusion and Discussion. Subjects who were prescribed 2 exercises performed better than subjects who were prescribed 8 exercises. The question of an optimal number of exercises to prescribe to elderly people warrants further study.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.

Purpose: This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the self-report and parent-proxy Health-Related Quality of Life Measure for Children with Epilepsy (CHEQOL-25) into Vietnamese and to evaluate their reliability. Methods: Both English versions of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 were translated and culturally adapted into Vietnamese by using the Principles of Good Practice for the Translation and Cultural Adaptation Process. The Vietnamese versions were scored by 77 epileptic patients, who aged 8–15 years, and their parents/caregivers at neurology outpatient clinic of Children Hospital No. 2 – Ho Chi Minh City. Reliability of the questionnaires was determined by using Cronbach’s coefficient α and intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Both Vietnamese versions of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 were shown to be consistent with the English ones, easy to understand for Vietnamese children and parents. Thus, no further modification was required. Cronbach’s α coefficient for each subscale of the Vietnamese version of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 was 0.65 to 0.86 and 0.83 to 0.86, respectively. The ICC for each subscale of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 was in the range of 0.61 to 0.86 and 0.77 to 0.98, respectively. Conclusion: The Vietnamese version of the self-report and parent-proxy CHEQOL-25 were the first questionnaires about quality of life of epileptic children in Vietnam. This Vietnamese version was shown to be reliable to assess the quality of life of children with epilepsy aged 8–15 years.
