Ultrasonic machining has been used over a decade to enhance the surface finishing and overall processing characteristics of conventional technologies. The benefits that are usually associated to this approach generate an increasing interest in both academic and industrial fields, especially in the turning operation due to its simple application. In this study, ultrasonic assisted turning is used to study the effect of intermittent tool contact on the surface quality of cast and wrought aluminium alloys. The resulting surface roughness and topography plots were evaluated through a three-dimensional (3D) optical profilometer. Additionally, stereo microscopy and detailed by scanning electron microscopy analyzed chip shape and morphology. The experimental results show that the appropriate use of an ultrasonic intermittent tool can improve the superficial quality up to 82% and reduce the maximum peak height by 59 % for a 0.045 mm/rev feed rate. When the feed rate is increased to 0.18 mm/rev, the surface roughness may be enhanced by 60% and the maximum peak height reduced by 76%. Furthermore, due to the introduction of a distinct cutting mechanism, the traditional chip shape is modified when the ultrasonic tool excitation is applied. A model is suggested to explain the chip growth and the fracture behaviour.

Surface roughness plays a critical role in evaluating and measuring the surface quality of a machined product. Two workpiece materials have been investigated by experimental approach in order to gain a better understanding of their influence on the obtained surface roughness in the micro-milling processes. The experimental results show that: surface topography is completely different for different materials at the same cutting speed and feed rate; surface roughness increases with an increase of material grain size. Surface roughness decreases to a lowest value, and then increases with an increase of the feed rate. A new surface model to illustrate the influence of material and uncut chip thickness was developed. The model has been experimentally validated and shows more promising results than Weule’s model.

Abstract The current state of surface roughness focuses on the 2D roughness. However, there are shortcomings in evaluating surface quality of particle reinforced metal matrix composites using 2D roughness due to the fact that the measuring direction has a vital impact on the 2D roughness value. It is therefore of great importance and significance to develop a proper criterion for measuring and evaluating the surface roughness of cutting particle reinforced metal matrix composites. In this paper, an experimental investigation was performed on the effect of cutting parameters on the surface roughness in cutting in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The 2D roughness Ra, 3D roughness Sa and Sq were comparatively studied for evaluating the machined surface quality of in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The influence of cutting parameters on the surface roughness was also analyzed. The big difference between roughness Ra measured along cutting and feed directions showed the great impact of measuring direction. Besides, surface defects such as pits, grooves, protuberances and voids were observed, which would influence 2D roughness value greatly, indicating that 3D roughness was more suitable for evaluating surface quality of cutting in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The cutting depth and feed rate were found to have the highest influence on 3D roughness while the effect of cutting speed was minimal. With increasing feed rate, cutting depth or width, the 3D roughness increased accordingly. But it decreased as cutting speed increased.

The use of magnesium alloys in construction of different components of the mechanical systems (such: cars, aerospace vehicles, medical equipment etc.) is very efficient not only because it leads to reduction of the systems weight but also because it leads to reduction or elimination of the environment polluting and to reduction of the energy consumption. Generally, the main factors that influence the quality of the machined surfaces are as follows: cutting parameters, material properties, geometry of the tools, cooling liquids and lubricants, physical and mechanical properties of the subsurface layers etc. Among the above mentioned factors, cutting parameters are the factors that strongly influence the quality of the machined surfaces. The present paper analysis the results of the experimental investigation performed to determine the influence of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth) on the surface quality machined by turning the AZ61 magnesium alloy. The main characteristics of the machined surface quality analyzed in experimental investigation were the surface roughness and hardness. The main conclusions resulted from the results analysis were as follows: the decrease of the feed rate led to surface roughness decrease and hardness increase; the increase of the cutting speed also led to an improved surface quality.

The quality of milled surface medium-density fibreboards (MDF) and the effect of the wrong milling direction during the process of automatic milling in real conditions in practice (production machine, production tool, and material) are presented in the paper. Moreover, the effect of the double vs. single bladed milling cutter on the final surface quality with the simultaneous changes in individual parameters of feed rate, thickness of the removed layer, and cutting direction was investigated. The MDF was separated using the strategy “one per pass“ with required cutting direction (climb or conventional) and the required thick strips cutting off (4 mm to 16+ mm) at a constant operation speed of the milling cutter (n = 20000 min−1) and a changing feed rate from vf = 1 m/min−1 to vf = 5 m/min−1. The use of a multi-bladed milling cutter resulted in the higher quality of the milled surface in all cases (change in feed rate, thickness of removed layer, and cutting direction). The effect of the wrong milling direction during automatic milling was observed only for a single-bladed milling cutter used. An increase in surface roughness (Ra) occurred; therefore, using the double-bladed milling cutter, which was not associated with an increase in surface roughness, is recommended.

In the metal machining process, cutting speed and feed rate are cutting parameters that affect the surface quality of the workpiece produced. The use of improper cutting parameters can cause the workpiece surface to be rough, and the cutting toolage to be shorter. This study was conducted to determine the effect of cutting parameters and the use of carbide tools on the surface roughness of metal steel workpieces. The research was carried out using the experimental method of AISI 4340 steel metal workpiece turning using cutting tool coated. Five variations of cutting speed used are: 140 m/min, 150 m/min, 160 m/min, 170 m/min, 180 m/min and three variations in feed rate: 0.25 mm/rev, 0.3 mm/rev, 0.35 mm/rev. After the turning process, the surface roughness of the workpiece is measured using a surface tester. From the results of the study, it was found that the surface roughness value was directly proportional to the feed rate and inversely proportional to the cutting speed. The smallest surface roughness value is 9.56 μm on cutting speed 180 m / min, and feed rate is 0.25 mm/rev.

Cutting Speeds

The nickel-based superalloy is widely used in aerospace. It is a typical difficult-to-cut material with poor plasticity. During the cutting process, the fluctuation of the cutting force caused by the change of cutting conditions can aggravate tool vibration, thereby reducing the surface quality of the machined workpiece. However, the emergence of high-pressure cooling technology provides technical support for overcoming the difficulty in superalloy processing. Therefore, it is of great significance to optimize the tool vibration and surface roughness of cutting GH4169 under high-pressure cooling. Taking GH4169 as the research object, the single-factor and orthogonal high-pressure cooling cutting experiments were conducted firstly in this paper. Then, the methods of the main effect diagram and response surface were applied to analyze the impact of cutting speed, feed rate, cutting depth, and cooling pressure on the three-way tool vibration. Next, MATLAB was adopted to draw the frequency spectrum of radial tool vibration at different cutting speeds, and the relationship between chip morphology, tool vibration, and workpiece surface roughness at different cutting speeds was discussed. Based on this, a mathematical model of radial tool cutting vibration and surface roughness related to the cutting amount and cooling pressure was established. Support vector machine (SVM) was applied to make predictions. Meanwhile, the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm with an elitist strategy was adopted for multi-objective optimization, and the optimization results were verified through experiments. The results indicated that the feed rate and cutting depth had a great impact on the tool vibration and surface roughness. The established mathematical model was accurate and effective for optimizing the cutting parameters. These results are of great significance to improve the cutting stability and the quality of machined surface.

The NC grinding of Si3N4 ceramics rotary curved surface workpieces was carried on the CNC jig grinders, combining the nomal tracing grinding and the arc envelope forming grinding. According to the grinding track, a grinding surface scallop height model was built. The model analysis indicated that workpiece curvature, wheel radius and feed rate affected the surface roughness. A prediction model based on the response surface methodology (RSM) was built to study the influences of these processing parameters on the surface roughness, using the Box-Behnken design to design the grinding experiments. It was shown that the surface roughness of rotary curved surface workpieces grinding which increased with increasing workpiece curvature could be reduced by chosen larger radius wheel and lower feed rate. The confidence and practicality of the prediction model is high in experimental conditions. The process parameters can be selected to improve the quality of the surface based on the model of the paper.
