Metal cutting operations involve intense heat generation owing to plastic deformation of the work piece and due to friction at the tool-work piece and tool-chip interface. The heat generated in metal cutting unfavourably affects the quality and thus the functional performance of the product. It is known that quality and functional performance is the function of roughness and dimensional accuracy. To maintain a longer component life, along with the robust material choice, a component should have good surface finish and dimensional accuracy. While, for the organization to monitor and control their environmental issues in a holistic manner, emphasis in adopting eco-friendly practices and protecting environment has been growing continuously across all the business sectors. In this study, an attempt is made to optimize the process parameter of stainless steel AISI-410 alloy, a nuclear graded material, for better surface finish. For this, Taguchi L9 orthogonal array was utilise to identify the process parameter and cutting environment. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was also conducted to highlight the significant parameter that affects the surface finish most. A statistical model to forecast the surface roughness was also developed and was validated by an experiment with a maximum error of 12%. Results indicates that feed rate is the most critical factor that effects the surface roughness with the contribution of 91.5%, followed by environment with 5.22% contribution, cutting speed and depth of cut with 2.7 % and 0.4 % respectively. The correlation coefficient of 0.9213 and conformation tests reveals that developed statistical model predicts surface roughness with the statistical error limit.

Machining Parameter

With the increase in demand for producing products with good surface finish within reduced time. Selection of suitable parameters for machining in CNC lathe is much required from the operator’s point of view. To attain the desired parameters this study deals taguchi technique as a tool in process parameter optimization using carbon insert CNMG tool in turning of AA6063 alloy. L9 orthogonal array is selected for conducting the experiments and for this Feed, Cutting Speed, Depth of Cut are the process parameters. The ANOVA and S-N ratio is used to analyse the characteristic performance of the turning operation performed. From the results of ANOVA the most influential parameter in reducing the surface roughness is found as depth of cut. Finally for various process parameter combinations the surface roughness is calculated and the optimum parameter for machining is attained by using Taguchi. For authentication of the optimum output attained in optimization experiments have been conducted to get maximum surface finish when machining the aluminium alloy in CNC turning

 Due to the widespread use of highly automated machine tools in the metal cutting industry, manufacturing requires highly reliable models and methods for the prediction of output performance in the machining process. The prediction of optimal manufacturing conditions for good surface finish and dimensional accuracy plays a very important role in process planning. In the steel turning process the tool geometry and cutting conditions determine the time and cost of production which ultimately affect the quality of the final product. In the present work, experimental investigations have been conducted to determine the effect of the tool geometry (effective tool nose radius) and metal cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on surface finish during the turning of EN-31 steel. First and second order mathematical models are developed in terms of machining parameters by using the response surface methodology on the basis of the experimental results. The surface roughness prediction model has been optimized to obtain the surface roughness values by using LINGO solver programs. LINGO is a mathematical modeling language which is used in linear and nonlinear optimization to formulate large problems concisely, solve them, and analyze the solution in engineering sciences, operation research etc. The LINGO solver program is global optimization software. It gives minimum values of surface roughness and their respective optimal conditions.

In metal cutting, increasing cutting spped and feed achieve higher productivity, but it will affect dimensional accuracy and surface integrity of the work surface, wear resistance and life of tool. Cutting fluids when appropriately chosen and applied will minimize these problems. This work deals with the optimization of process parameters in turning of EN24 and SS316L Steels with different cutting fluids with different cutting inserts under different machining conditions using Taguchi’s Robust Design Methodology. The control factors selected are machining environment, cutting speed, feed, depth of cut, work piece material and type of tool. Investigations are carried out on conventional lathe using the prefixed cutting conditions. Tool Wear and Surface Roughness are measured and anlysed using ANOVA and appropriate conclusions are derived.

In any metal cutting machining operation, the cutting fluid plays important role by cooling the cutting tool and the surface of the work piece, also chips are removed from heat affected zone. However, misuse of the cutting fluid and wrong methods of its disposal can affect human health and the environment badly. This paper presents a review of the important research papers published regarding the MQL-based application of mineral oils, vegetable oils and nano fluid-based cutting fluids for different machining processes, such as, drilling, turning, milling and grinding, etc. Most of the experimental studies have shown that application of MQL produces surface better than the flood and dry machining. In turning operation, parameters such as cutting speed, depth of cut, feed rate and tool nose radius have great impact on the surface finish. During high speed turning of steel inherently generates high cutting zone temperature. Such high temperature causes dimensional deviation and failure of cutting tools, surface and subsurface micro cracks, corrosion etc. Therefore, with proper selection of the MQL system and the cutting parameters, it is possible for MQL machining with minimum cost and less quantity of coolant to obtain better conditions, in terms of lubricity, tool life, cutting temperature and surface finish. The findings of this study show that MQL with nano fluid can substitute the flood lubrication for better surface finish.

Abstract The stone products with different sizes, geometries and materials — like machine tool's bench, measuring machine's board or sculptures, floor tiles — can be produced automatically while the manufacturing engineer uses objective function similar to metal cutting. This function can minimise the manufacturing time or the manufacturing cost, in other cases it can maximise of the tool's life. To use several functions, manufacturing engineers need an overall theoretical background knowledge, which can give useful information about the choosing of technological parameters (e.g. feed rate, depth of cut, or cutting speed), the choosing of applicable tools or especially the choosing of the optimum motion path. A similarly important customer's requirement is the appropriate surface roughness of the machined (cut, sawn or milled) stone product. This paper's first part is about a five-month-long literature review, which summarizes in short the studies (researches and results) considered the most important by the authors. These works are about the investigation of the surface roughness of stone products in stone machining. In the second part of this paper the authors try to determine research possibilities and trends, which can help to specify the relation between the surface roughness and technological parameters. Most of the suggestions of this paper are about stone milling, which is the least investigated machining method in the world.

Aisi 316

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.

In machining, speeds play vital role. The operator should know exactly the speed at which machining should be performed to get the required surface finish. In this paper, an attempt is made to determine the optimal cutting speed for machining of alloy steels. Three work piece materials having different hardness are taken and machined using a round nose tool with a coated tip. The tool dynamometer is attached to the tool post for force measurement. Turning operation on the work piece is performed on lathe at four different speeds, keeping the feed and depth of cut constant. Cutting forces acting on the tool, temperature at the tool and material interface are recorded. Power consumed being determined by a wattmeter and surface roughness values are measured. The same procedure is repeated for the other two work-pieces materials and optimal speeds for machining are determined for the three specimens. The results obtained are compared with the theoretical values and found to be very close.

The purpose of this research is to demonstrate surface roughness and chip formation by the machining of Aluminium silicon alloy (AlSic) matrix composite, reinforced with aluminium nitride (AlN), with three types of carbide inserts present. Experiments were conducted at various cutting speeds, feed rates, and depths of cut, according to the Taguchi method, using a standard orthogonal array L9 (34). The effects of cutting speeds, feed rates, depths of cut, and types of tool on surface roughness during the milling operation were evaluated using Taguchi optimization methodology, using the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. The surface finish produced is very important in determining whether the quality of the machined part is within specification and permissible tolerance limits. It is understood that chip formation is a fundamental element that influences tool performance. The analysis of chip formation was done using a Sometech SV-35 video microscope. The analysis of results, using the S/N ratio, concluded that a combination of low feed rate, low depth of cut, medium cutting speed, and an uncoated tool, gave a remarkable surface finish. The chips formed from the experiment varied from semi–continuous to discontinuous.

Dry Cutting

The machining of aerospace materials, such as metal matrix composites, introduces an additional challenge compared with traditional machining operations because of the presence of a reinforcement phase (e.g. ceramic particles or whiskers). This reinforcement phase decreases the thermal conductivity of the workpiece, thus, increasing the tool interface temperature and, consequently, reducing the tool life. Determining the optimum machining parameters is vital to maximising tool life and producing parts with the desired quality. By measuring the surface finish, the authors investigated the influence that the three major cutting parameters (cutting speed (50–150 m/min), feed rate (0.10–0.30 mm/rev) and depth of cut (1.0–2.0 mm)) have on tool life. End milling of a boron carbide particle-reinforced aluminium alloy was conducted under dry cutting conditions. The main result showed that contrary to the expectations for traditional machined alloys, the surface finish of the metal matrix composite examined in this work generally improved with increasing feed rate. The resulting surface roughness (arithmetic average) varied between 1.15 and 5.64 μm, with the minimum surface roughness achieved with the machining conditions of a cutting speed of 100 m/min, feed rate of 0.30 mm/rev and depth of cut of 1.0 mm. Another important result was the presence of surface microcracks in all specimens examined by electron microscopy irrespective of the machining condition or surface roughness.
