Downsizing energy consumption during the machining of metals is vital for sustainable manufacturing. As a prerequisite, energy consumption should be determined, through direct or indirect measurement. The manufacturing process of interest is the finish turning which has been explored to generate (near) net shapes, particularly for hardened steels. In this paper, we propose using measured cutting forces to calculate the electrical energy consumption during the finish turning process of metals where typically the depth of cut is lower than the cutting tool nose radius. In this approach, the resultant cutting force should be used for calculating the energy consumption, instead of only the main (tangential) cutting force as used in the conventional approach. A case study was carried out where a hardened stainless steel (AISI 420, hardness of 47–48 HRC) was turned using a coated carbide tool, with a nose radius of 0.8 mm, without cutting fluid, and at 0.4 mm depth of cut. The experimental design varied the cutting speed (100, 130, and 170 m/min) and feed (0.10, 0.125, and 0.16 mm) while other parameters were kept constant. The results indicate that the electrical energy consumption during the particular dry turning of hardened steel can be calculated using cutting force data as proposed. This generally means machining studies that measure cutting forces can also present energy consumption during the finish or hard turning of metals, without specifically measuring the power consumption of the machining process. For this particular dry turning of hardened stainless steel, cutting parameters optimization in terms of machining responses (i.e., low surface roughness, long tool life, low cutting force, and low energy consumption) was also determined to provide an insight on how energy consumption can be integrated with other machining responses towards sustainable machining process of metals.

This paper analyses three components of total cutting force and chip shape changes when finish turning 17-4 PH (precipitation hardening) stainless steel. A Finite Element Method (FEM) simulation of cutting forces was also performed using the Johnson–Cook constitutive model. The results were compared with those obtained from experimental studies. Variable feeds of 0.05–0.4 mm/rev and depth of cut of 0.2–1.2 mm with a cutting speed of 220 m/min were used. The studies were carried out under dry and wet cooling conditions and with the use of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). This research was realized based on the Parameter Space Investigation (PSI) method. Statistical analysis of the obtained results was carried out using Statistica-13 software. It was found that the cutting force Fc and feed force Ff depend on the depth of cut and feed, and the passive force Fp depends mainly on the feed. Compared to dry cutting conditions, a reduction of 43% and 39% of the cutting force Fc was achieved for wet machining and MQL machining, respectively. Regardless of the cooling conditions, a favorable chip shape was registered for ap = 1–1.1 mm and f = 0.25–0.3 mm/rev. Compared to the experimental studies, the FEM simulation showed differences of ~13% for the cutting force Fc and of ~36% for the feed force Ff.

Plain carbon steels and alloy steels have a great application in the manufacturing process especially due to their characteristic of high machinability and low cost. The machining of these materials, the study of the cutting forces, and the power required for the cutting process is one of the most important parameters to be evaluated. The relationship between this parameter and the other cutting variables process is crucial for the optimization of the machining process. The results of this research are empirical expressions, obtained from the cutting parameters (tool nose radius, feed rate and depth of cut) and the influence of these parameters on the cutting forces for each carbon steel studied (AISI 1020, AISI 1045 and AISI 4340), as well as a general expression which includes the mechanical properties of these carbon steels. These results enable the user to predict cutting forces when using a turning process.

AbstractMicroturning is a micromechanical machining process used to produce microcylindrical or axially symmetrical parts. Microcylindrical parts are mainly used in microfluidic systems, intravenous micromotors, microsurgical applications, optical lens applications, and microinjection systems. The workpiece diameter is very small in microturning and therefore is greatly affected by the cutting forces. For this reason, it is important to predict the cutting forces when machining miniature parts. In this study, an analytical mechanistic model of microturning is used to predict the cutting forces considering the tool nose radius. In the semi-empirically developed mechanistic model, the tool radius was considered. A series of semi-orthogonal microturning cutting tests were carried out to determine the cutting and edge force coefficients. The mechanistic model was generalized depending on the cutting speed and depth of cut by performing multilinear regression analysis. In the study, the depth of cut (ap = 30–90 µm) and feed values (f = 0.5–20 µm/rev) were selected considering the nose radius and edge radius of the cutting tool. The experiments were carried out under high-cutting speeds (Vc = 150–500 m/min) and microcutting conditions. Ti6Al4V alloy was used as the workpiece material and the tests were carried out under dry cutting conditions. Validation tests for different cutting parameters were carried out to validate the accuracy of the developed mechanistic model. The results showed that the difference between the mechanistic model and the experimental data was a minimum of 3% and a maximum of 24%. The maximum difference between the experimental and the model usually occurs in forces in the tangential direction. It has been observed that the developed model gives accurate results even at a depth of cut smaller than the nose radius and at feed values smaller than the edge radius.

Cutting force in the machining process of SiCp/Al particle reinforced metal matrix composite is affected by several factors. Obtaining an effective mathematical model for the cutting force is challenging. In that respect, the second-order model of cutting force has been established by response surface methodology (RSM) in this study, with different cutting parameters, such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The optimized mathematical model has been developed to analyze the effect of actual processing conditions on the generation of cutting force for the turning process of SiCp/Al composite. The results show that the predicted parameters by the RSM are in close agreement with experimental results with minimal error percentage. Quantitative evaluation by using analysis of variance (ANOVA), main effects plot, interactive effect, residual analysis, and optimization of cutting forces using the desirability function was performed. It has been found that the higher depth of cut, followed by feed rate, increases the cutting force. Higher cutting speed shows a positive response by reducing the cutting force. The predicted and experimental results for the model of SiCp/Al components have been compared to the cutting force of SiCp/Al 45 wt%—the error has been found low showing a good agreement.

Abstract In this study, the proposed experimental and second-order model for the cutting forces were developed through several parameters, including cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and two varying content of SiCp. Cutting force model was developed and optimized through RSM and compared for two different percentages of components SiCp/Al 45% and SiCp/Al 50%. ANOVA is used for Quantitative evaluation, the main effects plot along with the evaluation using different graphs and plots including residual analysis, contour plots, and desirability functions for cutting forces optimization. It provides the finding for choosing proper parameters for the machining process. The plots show that during increment with depth of cut in proportion with feed rate are able to cause increments in cutting forces. Higher cutting speed shows a positive response in both the weight percentage of SiCp by reducing the cutting force because of higher cutting speed increases. A very fractional increasing trend of cutting force was observed with increasing SiCp weight percentages. Both of the methods such as experiment and model-predicted results of SiCp/Al MMC materials were thoroughly evaluated for analyzing cutting forces of SiCp/Al 45%, and SiCp/Al 50%, as well as calculated the error percentages also found in an acceptable range with minimal error percentages. Article Highlights This study focuses on the effect of cutting parameters as well as different percentage of SiC particles on the cutting forces, while comparing the results of both SiC particles such as SiCp/Al 45%, and SiCp/Al 50% the result shows that there isn’t fractional amount of impact on the cutting force with nominal increasing percentages of SiC particles. Cutting speed in machining process of SiCp/Al shows positive response in reducing the cutting forces, however, increasing amount of depth of cut followed by increasing feed rate creates fluctuations in cutting force and thus increases the cutting force in the cutting process. The developed RSM mathematical model which is based on the box Behnken design show excellent competence for predicting and suggesting the machining parameters for both SiCp/Al 45%, and SiCp/Al 50% and the RSM mathematical model is feasible for optimization of the machining process with good agreement to experimental values.

The measurement of cutting forces in metal cutting is essential to estimate the power requirements, to design the cutting tool and to analyze machining process for different work and tool material combination. Although cutting forces can be measured by different methods, the measurement of cutting forces by a suitable dynamometer is widely used in industrial practice. Mechanical and strain gauge dynamometer are most widely used for measuring forces in metal cutting. The principle of all dynamometers is based on the measurement of deflections or strain produced from the dynamometer structure from the action of cutting force. In this project, a dynamometer is used to measure cutting force, feed force and radial force by using strain gauge accelerometer while turning different material in lathe. The dynamometer is a 500kg force 3- component system. As the tool comes in contact with the work piece the various forces developed are captured and transformed into numerical form system. In this project three forces of different materials such as aluminum, mild steel, brass, copper have been noted down. The forces on these materials with variation in speed and depth of cut are studied. Graphs are drawn on how these forces vary due to variation in speed.

Based on experimental results, a predictive model with certain constraints of cutting parameters (feed rate and depth of cut) and nose radius for cutting forces is solved in precision turning 3J33 alloy. The proposed model is adequate with F-ratio test and multiple correlation coefficient of it. Regression analysis shows that depth of cut and feed rate influence the principal cutting force significantly. The goal of this study is to predict cutting forces under certain constraints of cutting parameters and nose radius.

This research paper determines the relationship between cutting edge temperature, depth of cut, cutting speed, cutting forces and flank wear. The cutting edge temperature is determined by using a pyrometer consists of Indium Arsenide (InAs) and Indium Antimonide (InSb) photocells to detect infrared radiation that are released from cutting tool’s edge and cutting forces is measured by using a dynamometer. The machining process experiment is done by end milling the outer surface of AISI 1095 carbon steel. The output signal from the photocell and dynamometer is processed and recorded in the digital oscilloscope. Based on the results, the cutting edge temperature and cutting force increases as the depth of cut increases. Meanwhile, increasing cutting speed resulting in cutting edge temperature increases but decreasing in cutting force due to thermal deformation. Also, existence of progressive flank wear at cutting tool causes an increment in cutting edge temperature and cutting force proportionally.

This research studied the influence of cutting fluids and cutting parameters on the surface roughness for stainless steel worked by turning machine in dry and wet cutting cases. The work was done with different cutting speeds, and feed rates with a fixed depth of cutting. During the machining process, heat was generated and effects of higher surface roughness of work material. In this study, the effects of some cutting fluids, and dry cutting on surface roughness have been examined in turning of AISI316 stainless steel material. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) instead of other soluble oils has been used and compared to dry machining processes. Experiments have been performed at four cutting speeds (60, 95, 155, 240) m/min, feed rates (0.065, 0.08, 0.096, 0.114) mm/rev. and constant depth of cut (0.5) mm. The amount of decrease in Ra after the used suggested mixture arrived at (0.21µm), while Ra exceeded (1µm) in case of soluble oils This means the suggested mixture gave the best results of lubricating properties than other cases.
