In this paper, TiAlN-coated cemented carbide tools with chip groove were used to machine titanium alloy Ti-6Al-0.6Cr-0.4Fe-0.4Si-0.01B under dry conditions in order to investigate the machining performance of this cutting tool. Wear mechanisms of TiAlN-coated cemented carbide tools with chip groove were studied and compared to the uncoated cemented carbide tools (K20) with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The effects of the cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on tool life and workpiece surface roughness of TiAlN-coated cemented carbide tools with chip groove were studied with a 3D super-depth-of-field instrument and a surface profile instrument, respectively. The results showed that the TiAlN-coated cemented carbide tools with chip groove were more suitable for machining TC7. The adhesive wear, diffusion wear, crater wear, and stripping occurred during machining, and the large built-up edge formed on the rake face. The optimal cutting parameters of TiAlN-coated cemented carbide tools were acquired. The surface roughness Ra decreased with the increase of the cutting speed, while it increased with the increase of the feed rate.

Titanium alloys are widely used in various fields, but their machinability is poor because the chip would easily adhere to the tool surface during cutting, causing poor surface quality and tool wear. To improve the cutting performance of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of micro textured tool on the cutting performances. The cemented carbide tools whose rake faces were machined with line, rhombic, and sinusoidal groove textures with 10% area occupancy rates were adopted as the cutting tools. The effects of cutting depth and cutting speed on feed force and main cutting force were discussed based on experimental results. The results show that the cutting force produced by textured tools is less than that produced by non-textured tools. Under different cutting parameters, the best cutting performance can be obtained by using sinusoidal textured tools among the four types of tools. The wear of micro textured tools is significantly lower than that of non-textured tools, due to a continuous lubrication film between the chip and the rake face of the tool that can be produced because the micro texture can store and replenish lubricant. The surface roughness obtained using the textured tool is better than that using the non-textured tool. The surface roughness Ra can be reduced by 35.89% when using sinusoidal textured tools. This study is helpful for further improving the cutting performance of cemented carbide tools on titanium alloy and prolonging tool life.

Contact lens manufacture requires high accuracy and surface integrity. Surface roughness an important response because it has direct influence toward the part performance and the production cost. Hence, choosing optimal cutting parameters will not only improve the quality measure but also the productivity. This research work is therefore aimed at developing a predictive surface roughness model and investigate a finish cutting conditions of ONSI-56 contact lens polymer with a monocrystalline diamond cutting tool. In this work, a novel surface roughness prediction model, in which the feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut are considered is developed. This combined process was successfully modeled using a Box–Behnken design (BBD) with response surface methodology (RSM). The effects of feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut were investigated. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed that the proposed quadratic model effectively interpreted the experimental data with coefficients of determination of R2 = 0.89 and adjusted R2 = 0.84. The worse surface value was obtained at high feedrate and low spindle speed.

Ti2AlNb-based alloy is regarded as lightweight high-temperature structural material, which is expected to replace the nickel-base super alloy due to its low density, high elastic modulus, strength retention at elevated temperature, outstanding oxide resistance. However, these excellent properties also make Ti2AlNb to be difficult-to-cut material. In this paper, the milling experiment of Ti2AlNb alloy was carried out using Ti(N,C)-Al2O3 coated cemented carbide tools. SEM and EDS analysis was utilized to observe the worn tools to determine the tool failure modes and wear mechanisms. Tool life when milling Ti2AlNb was short and heavily dependent on the cutting parameters. During milling, coating material of the tool was separated rapidly from the base material. When the cutting speed exceeded 100m/min, serious cracks appeared on the tool surface. Thermal fatigue, adhesive and attrition were the predominant wear mechanisms of the coated tools.

One of the most important issues in turning operations is to choose suitable parameters in order to achieve a desired surface finish. The surface finish in machining operation depends on many parameters such as workpiece material, tool material, tool coating, machining parameters, etc. The purpose of this research is to focus on the analysis of optimum cutting parameters to get the lowest surface roughness in turning Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with the insert with the standard code DNMG 110404 under dry cutting condition, by the Taguchi method. The turning parameters are evaluated as cutting speed of 14, 20 and 28 m/min, feed rate of 0.12, 0.14 and 0.16 mm/rev, depth of cut of 0.3, 0.6 and 1 mm, each at three levels. The Experiment was designed using the Taguchi method and 9 experiments were conducted by this process. The results are analyzed using analysis of variance method (ANOVA). The results of analysis show that the depth of cut has a significant role to play in producing lower surface roughness that is about 63.33% followed by feed rate about 30.25%, and cutting speed has less contribution on the surface roughness. Also it was realized that with the use of the confirmation test, the surface roughness improved by 227% from its initial state.

Machined surface condition of nickel-based superalloys has an important influence on the functional performance of the components. Proper selection of cutting parameters could improve surface finish and increase service life of parts and components. This research work bases on an experimental and statistical study of turning GH4169 nickel-based superalloy with cemented carbide tool. Surface damages like feed marks, tips, and surface tearing were discussed. The second-order polynomial model was used to describe the surface roughness response. Variance analysis was selected to eliminate the insignificant variables in the roughness model. The response surface methodology was used to investigate the combined effect of cutting parameters on two different dimensions surface roughness parameters. The optimization of cutting parameters for minimum surface roughness was obtained using desirability function method. The results demonstrate that feed rate has the most significant effect on surface roughness. High cutting speed and low feed rate result in better surface quality, but too low feed rate exacerbates built-up edge phenomenon and deteriorates surface condition. Optimal cutting parameters leading to the minimum surface roughness were highlighted.

AbstractCutting fluids of various types are commonly employed to control the friction and heat during machining. The continuous application of cutting fluids is being avoided to reduce overall volume of cutting fluids, machining cost, environmental and health issues. To overcome these problems, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) machining has been chosen as an alternative approach. In the present work, experiments are conducted using Taguchi’s robust design methodology to find out the optimal cutting parameters for surface roughness under different machining environmental conditions and carbide tool materials. The results indicated that there is considerable improvement in the machining performance using MQL machining. Flooded machining, high cutting speed, low feed rate, low depth of cut and chemical vapour deposition (CVD) coated tool are found to be the optimum conditions to minimize surface roughness. From the analysis of variance (ANOVA), feed rate is the most influential factor that affects the surface roughness than cutting speed and depth of cut.

The nickel-based superalloy GH4033 is one of the difficult-to-cut materials. In order to investigate the machinability of GH4033, the tool cutting performance, tool failure modes, tool life and the relationships between surface roughness and tool flank wear were studied by using different coated cemented carbide cutting tools under dry cutting. Aiming at the amount of metal removal combining with the tool life and surface quality, the better cutting tool coating type and optimal cutting parameters were obtained through the orthogonal experiments. The results showed that the cutting performance of TiCN coated tool (GC4235) was better than that of TiAlN coated tool (JC450V). With these two kinds of tools, the machined surface roughness decreased to a minimum value and then increased with the increase of flank wear. When cutting GH4033, the main wear mechanism for both of the two types of tools included adhesive wear, diffusive wear, abrasive wear, edge wear and coating peeling.

The effects of different cutting parameters, insert nose radius, cutting speed and feed rates on the surface quality of the stainless steel to be use in medical application. Stainless steel AISI 316 had been machined with three different nose radiuses (0.4 mm 0.8 mm, and 1.2mm), three different cutting speeds (100, 130, 170 m/min) and feed rates (0.1, 0.125, 0.16 mm/rev) while depth of cut keep constant at (0.4 mm). It is seen that the insert nose radius, feed rates, and cutting speed have different effect on the surface roughness. The minimum average surface roughness (0.225µm) has been measured using the nose radius insert (1.2 mm) at lowest feed rate (0.1 mm/rev). The highest surface roughness (1.838µm) has been measured with nose radius insert (0.4 mm) at highest feed rate (0.16 mm/rev). The analysis of ANOVA showed the cutting speed is not dominant in processing for the fine surface finish compared with feed rate and nose radius. Conclusion, surface roughness is decreasing with decreasing of the feed rate. High nose radius produce better surface finish than small nose radius because of the maximum uncut chip thickness decreases with increase of nose radius.

Stainless steels have gained much attention to be an alternative solution for many manufacturing industries due to their high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, owing to their high ductility, their low thermal conductivity and high tendency to work hardening, these materials are classed as materials difficult to machine. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to examine the effect of cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the response parameters including surface roughness (Ra), tangential cutting force (Fz) and cutting power (Pc) during dry turning of AISI 316L using TiCN-TiN PVD cermet tool. As a methodology, the Taguchi L27 orthogonal array parameter design and response surface methodology (RSM)) have been used. Statistical analysis revealed feed rate affected for surface roughness (79.61%) and depth of cut impacted for tangential cutting force and cutting power (62.12% and 35.68%), respectively. According to optimization analysis based on desirability function (DF), cutting speed of 212.837 m/min, 0.08 mm/rev feed rate and 0.1 mm depth of cut were determined to acquire high machined part quality
