Knowing the stringent operating conditions to which superalloys are subjected to in automobile, aerospace and gas turbine industries, the machinability of nickel-based superalloy GH4169 is very poor, the traditional cutting fluids in GH4169 machining pollutes environments. The purpose of this study is to clarify the possibility of the turning in high speed (vc>50m/min)[1]. In particular, the effects of the overheat water vapor with 130°C as cooling lubricant application were examined, through observation and measurement of the shape of the generated chips, machined surface integrity, cutting force and cutting temperature in a series of experiments with dry cutting or overheat water vapor with 130°C as cooling lubricant. As a result of these experiments, it was possible to measure and confirm the effects of the overheat water vapor with 130°C as cooling lubricant in high speed turning.

The machinability of nickel-based superalloy GH4169 is very poor, the traditional machining of GH4169 using the cutting fluids with the active additives causes environmental and health problems, which is out of the request of the sustainable development strategy. In this paper a new green cutting technology with overheated water vapor as coolants and lubricants was proposed to achieve the aim of green cutting and high productivity. Cutting experiments and tool wear tests using carbide tool YG6 under dry cutting, emulsion and water vapor were performed. The cutting force, cutting temperature, machined surface quality and tool life were investigated; the curve of flank tool wear and relation between tool life and cutting velocity was carried out. The results of experiments indicated that during water vapor condition, the cutting force and cutting temperature was reduced, the machined surface roughness was improved, and the tool life was longed, respectively, and the higher velocity was taken during the some tool wear condition compared to dry cutting. The research results show that green cutting was achieved associated with overheated water vapor cooling and lubricating, at he same time the machined surface quality and production efficiency was increased.

The machining process of titanium alloys always need special control by using coolant and lubricant as it is one of the difficult-to-cut materials. The cutting experiments are carried out based on green cooling and lubricating technology. To achieve green cutting of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with water vapor cooling and lubricating, a minitype generator is developed. Compared to dry and wet cutting, the using of water vapor decreases the cutting force and the cutting temperature respectively; enhances the machined surface. And it can help to chip forming and breaking. Water vapor application also improves Ti-6Al-4V machinability. The excellent cooling and lubricating action of water vapor could be summarized that water molecule has polarity, small diameter and high speed, can be easily and rapidly to proceed adsorption in the cutting zone. The results indicate that the using of water vapor has the potential to attain the green cutting of titanium alloy.

In this article, the micro-topography and texture characteristics of machined surface under the condition of high speed cutting are analyzed based on experimental observation. The forming process of machined surface and cause of the appearance are also discussed. The experimental results show that furrow and ridges, surface white layer and molten metal daub by the feed motion of cutting tool are found on machined surface due to the effect of high cutting temperature and rotating of workpiece in high speed turning process.

From the perspective of clean production process, this paper summarizes the present research status of green cooling machining at home and abroad and analyzes the problems of coolant cooling during machining metal materials in traditional method and. The green cutting process tests using water vapor for cooling lubricant were done and the single-factor method was used. The cutting tests for the high-temperature alloy GH4169, titanium alloy TC4 and stainless steel Cr12 were done by the carbide cutting toolsunder th condition of distilled water, emulsion, water vapor for cooling lubricant and dry cutting. These tests results showed that in same process parameters, main cutting force Fc can be reduced by about 30%, 26% and 22% respectively when using water vapor for cooling lubricant than using dry cutting, distilled water and emulsion, while the cutting temperature T can be decreased by about 12%, 6% and 3% respectively.

To predict the cutting forces and cutting temperatures accurately in high speed dry cutting Ti-6Al-4V alloy, a Finite Element (FE) model is established based on ABAQUS. The tool-chip-work friction coefficients are calculated analytically using the measured cutting forces and chip morphology parameter obtained by conducting the orthogonal (2-D) machining tests. It reveals that the friction coefficients between tool-work are 3∼7 times larger than that between tool-chip, and the friction coefficients of tool-chip-work vary with feed rates. The analysis provides a better reference for the tool-work-chip friction coefficients than that given by literature empirically regardless of machining conditions. The FE model is capable of effectively simulating the high speed dry cutting process of Ti-6Al-4V alloy based on the modified Johnson-Cook model and tool-work-chip friction coefficients obtained analytically. The FE model is further validated in terms of predicted forces and the chip morphology. The predicted cutting force, thrust force and resultant force by the FE model agree well with the experimentally measured forces. The errors in terms of the predicted average value of chip pitch and the distance between chip valley and chip peak are smaller. The FE model further predicts the cutting temperature and residual stresses during high speed dry cutting of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The maximum tool temperatures exist along the round tool edge, and the residual stress profiles along the machined surface are hook-shaped regardless of machining conditions.

Independent research studies have shown notable dissimilarity in the machining behaviour of aluminum alloys AA6061−T6 and AA7075−T651 commonly used in automotive and aeronautical applications. The present work attempts to investigate this dissimilarity based on experimental and numerical data with a focus on chip formation and generated residual stresses under similar high−speed machining (HSM) conditions. The numerical data were calculated by a finite element modeling (FEM) developed using DeformTM 2D software. The results showed that both studied alloys exhibit different chip formation mechanisms and residual stress states at the machined surfaces. On one hand, the AA6061−T6 alloy generates continuous chips and tensile residual stresses whereas the AA7075−T651 alloy produces segmented chips and compressive residual stresses. FEM results showed that the AA6061−T6 alloy generates lower cutting temperature at the tool−chip interface along with higher equivalent total strains at the machined surface as compared to the AA7075−T651 alloy. Based on the experimental and numerical results, it was pointed out that the differences in terms of thermal conductivity and initial yield stress are the main reasons explaining the dissimilarity observed.
