Light alloy machining is a widely implemented process that is usually used in the presence of cutting fluids to reduce wear and increase tool life. The use of coolants during machining presents negative environmental impacts, which has increased interest in reducing and even eliminating their use. In order to obtain ecofriendly machining processes, it will be necessary to suppress the use of cutting fluids, in a trend called “dry machining”. This fact forces machines to work under aggressive cutting conditions, producing adhesion wear that affects the integrity of the parts’ surfaces. This study describes cutting tool wear mechanisms in machining of UNS A92024 samples under dry cutting conditions. Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) analysis shows the different compositions of the adhered layers. Roughness is also positively affected by the change of the cutting geometry produced in the tool.

Light alloys machining is a widely implemented process that have usually used in presence of cutting fluids to reduce the wear impact and increase tool life. However, current environmental protection policies require their elimination in order to improve process sustainability. This fact forces to work under aggressive cutting conditions, producing adhesion wear that affects the integrity of the part surface. This study describes cutting tool wear mechanisms in machining of UNS A92024 samples under dry cutting conditions. EDS analysis showed the different composition of the adhered layers, while roughness was also positively affected by the change of the cutting geometry produced in the tool.

Minimizing downtime in machine tools is one of the factors that determine the performance increase of the production processes involved. This increase can be considered from different points of view: economic, energetic and environmental. Machining processes can be stopped by needing to change the tool as a consequence of the loss of their initial properties due to the wear process that suffer during machining. One of the wear processes which takes place in a wider range of temperatures in the machining of metal alloys is the adhesion wear, and specially in the case of light alloys, secondary adhesion wear, which can be placed in the tool rake face as a layer (Built-Up Layer, BUL) and in the tool edge (Built-Up Edge, BUE). This paper analyzes the influence of cutting parameters on the secondary adhesion wear effects in the dry turning of UNS A92024 (Al-Cu) alloy.

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.

This paper presents the additional work of the previous research in order to verify the previously obtained cutting condition by using the different cutting tool geometries. The effects of the cutting conditions with the dry cutting are monitored to obtain the proper cutting condition for the plain carbon steel with the coated carbide tool based on the consideration of the surface roughness and the tool life. The dynamometer is employed and installed on the turret of CNC turning machine to measure the in-process cutting forces. The in-process cutting forces are used to analyze the cutting temperature, the tool wear and the surface roughness. The experimentally obtained results show that the surface roughness and the tool wear can be well explained by the in-process cutting forces. Referring to the criteria, the experimentally obtained proper cutting condition is the same with the previous research except the rake angle and the tool nose radius.

Green cutting is one of the developing tends in the industry field. Water vapor can be introduced in metal cutting as coolant and lubricant due to its pollution-free, generating easily and unneeded disposal. Therefore, a special generating system is developed to produce suitable water vapor, and a simulation to the velocity of water vapor jet flow is presented. Then tool wear was investigated and a new capillary model is proposed, based on the experimental results. According to the boundary-layer theory, the kinetics equations of flow were solute. The velocity and flux of molecule are presented. In the capillary, the adsorption of tool-chip interface results in boundary lubricating film; the conical shape of capillary limits the depth of coolant and lubricant penetrating; and the negative press is the motility for coolant and lubricant penetrating. The study results show water vapor can decrease tool wear about 10% times and 20% comparing to cutting fluids and dry cutting, and water vapor could be a potential solution of green cutting.

To understand the effect of the workpiece microstructure on the tool wear behavior, anexperimental investigation was conducted on machining two different microstructures of supertitanium alloys: Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-555. The analysis of tool-chip interface parameters such asfriction, heat flux and temperature rise and the evolution of the workpiece microstructure underdifferent cutting conditions have been discussed. As cutting speed and feed rate increase, the meancutting forces and temperature show different progressions depending on the consideredmicrostructure. Results show that wear modes for cutting tools used in machining the Ti-555 alloyshow contrast from those exhibited by tools used in machining the Ti6AI4V alloy. In fact, onlyabrasion wear was observed for cutting tools in the case of machining the near-β titanium Ti-555alloy. The last alloy is characterized by a fine-sized microstructure (order of 1 μm). For the usualTi6Al4V alloy, adhesion and diffusion modes followed by coating delamination process on the toolsubstrate have been clearly identified. Moreover, a deformed layer was observed under secondaryelectron microscope (SEM) from the sub-surface of the chip with β-grains orientation along thechip flow direction. The analysis of the microstructure confirms the intense deformation of themachined surface and shows a texture modification, without phase transformation. For the Ti-555β-alloy, β grains experiences more plastic deformation and increases the microhardness of theworkpiece inducing then an abrasion wear process for cemented carbide tools. For the Ti6Al4Vmicrostructure, the temperature rise induces a thermal softening process of the workpiece andgenerates adhesive wear modes for cutting tools. The observed worn tool surfaces confirm theeffect of the microstructure on tool wear under different cutting conditions for the two studiedtitanium alloys.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on effects of pressure and nozzle angle of minimal quantity lubrication (MQL) on cutting temperature and flank wear in turning. In manufacturing industries, there are always demands for the optimum cutting conditions for the most economical manufacturing cost. Hence, reduction in tool wear is essential for less expenditure with the knowledge of optimum cutting conditions of MQL. MQL, also known as near dry machining, has been acknowledged as an effective cooling technique in machining by applying vegetable oils in replacing the conventional flooding method due to environmental issues. By varying the operating pressures and nozzle angle with respect to the cutting zone, cutting temperature and flank wear are measured using a calibrated tool work thermocouple and SPG video microscope. Comparison was made between dry cutting, water mist cooling and MQL method with palm oil. Results showed that MQL with palm oil exhibits best cooling efficiency at 5 bar pressure and nozzle angle of 20o with reduction of 35% in tool wear and 23% in cutting temperature at higher cutting speeds.

In the last years there has been an increased demand to lower the impact of industrial activities on environment quality. Cutting fluids, among other products, are an important pollutant but they have often been associated with the need for a higher productivity of machining processes. Cutting fluids are a mean of reducing temperature in the cutting area, friction and tool wear but they also represent 7% to 17% of the production costs. Other problems raised by cutting fluids are: microorganism infestation, which can cause pulmonary and dermatological diseases and poor lubrication or corrosion caused by some of the chemicals. Dry cutting is regarded as the cleanest cooling method, but it has a reduced heat dissipation efficiency and practically there is no lubrication. Other relatively new green solutions concern the use of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and cryogenic machining.
