This study investigates about machining practices used worldwide for machining of Inconel 718 super alloy. The effect of machining parameters like cutting speed, feed and depth of cut on machining responses like surface roughness and material removal rate when end milling Inconel 718 is studied using nine trials carried out based on L9 orthogonal array. A Taguchi based grey relational analysis was used for optimisation of machining parameters for high feed end milling operation on Inconel 718. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to find the most significant factor. Validation of results through confirmation tests was performed and experimental results show that surface quality and productivity can be improved efficiently with this approach.

Micro milling of super alloy materials such as nickel based alloys is challenging due to the excellent of its mechanical properties. Therefore, new techniques have been suggested to enhance the machinability of nickel based alloys by pre-heating the workpiece’s surface to reduce its strength. Determining the processing parameters and their effects to the processing characteristics are crucially important. However, not only the micro-milling parameters need to be considered, but the pre-heating parameters are also need to take into consideration as well. These parameters are expected to improve the machinability. In this study, the experiment of LAMM in Inconel 718 was conducted with considering laser power, cutting speed, depth of cut, feed rate and laser-to-cutting tool distance. From the result, the effectiveness of laser assisted and cutting parameter in term of cutting force and tool wear was identified by comparing between conventional and LAMM. Finally, the optimum range of machining parameters can be determined.

This paper presents the prediction of a statistically analyzed model for the surface roughness,R_a of end-milled Machinable glass ceramic (MGC). Response Surface Methodology (RSM) is used to construct the models based on 3-factorial Box-Behnken Design (BBD). It is found that cutting speed is the most significant factor contributing to the surface roughness value followed by the depth of cut and feed rate. The surface roughness value decreases for higher cutting speed along with lower feed and depth of cut. Additionally, the process optimization has also been done in terms of material removal rate (MRR) to the model’s response. Ideal combinations of machining parameters are then suggested for common goal to achieve lower surface roughness value and higher MRR.

With numerous responses established on Taguchi L9, orthogonal array coupled with current work proposes a novel methodology for optimizing machining parameters on turning of AA 6063 T6 aluminum alloy. Experimental assessments are accomplished on AA 6063 T6 aluminum alloy. Turning trails are carried out under dry cutting conditions using an uncoated carbide insert. Cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut are optimized in this effort while numerous responses such as surface roughness(Ra) and material removal rate are taken into consideration (MRR). From the grey analysis, a grey relational grade(GRG) is calculated. The optimal amounts of parameters have been identified based on the values of grey relational grade, and then ANOVA is used to determine the significant influence of parameters. To authenticate the test result, a confirmation test is executed. The result of the experiments shows that by using this method. the turning process responses can be significantly improved.

Abstract. The purpose of this research is to determine the optimum machining parameter for Aluminium silicon alloy (AlSi) matrix composite, which has been 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 orthogonal array L27. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance are applied to study the characteristic performance of cutting speeds, feed rates, depths of cut and types of tool in measuring the tool life during the milling operation. The analysis of wear was done using a Sometech SV-35 video microscope according to ISO 3686. Through Taguchi analysis, it is concluded that a combination of high feed rate, high depth of cut, low cutting speed and insert TiB2 give a longer tool life. Therefore, the cutting speed of 230 m/min, feed rate of 0.8 mm/tooth, depth of cut of 0.5 mm and type of insert of TiB2 were the optimum machining parameters. These optimum parameters will help the automotive industry to have a competitive machining operation from both economical and manufacturing perspectives.

In order to take advantage of the machining characteristics of magnesium, it is useful to consider recommended tool design and angles. The geometry of the tool can have a large influence on the machining process. Tool geometry can be used to aid with chip flow and clearance, reduce excessive heat generation, reduce tool build up, enable greater feed rates to be employed and improved tool life. This paper presents a new approach for the optimization of machining parameters on face milling of ZE41 with multiple responses based on orthogonal array with grey relational analysis. Machining tests are carried out by inserting 12 mm diameter of insert having 1 flute under dry condition. In this study, machining parameters namely cutting speed, feed and depth of cut and tool node radius are optimized with the considerations of multi responses such as surface roughness, material removal rate, tool wear and thrust force. A grey relational grade is obtained from the grey analysis. Based on the grey relational grade, optimum levels of parameters have been identified and significant contribution of parameters is determined by ANOVA. Confirmation test is conducted to validate the test result. Experimental results have shown that the responses in Machining process can be improved effectively through the new approach.

Optimization in turning means determination of the optimal set of the machining parameters to satisfy the objectives within the operational constraints. These objectives may be the minimum tool wear, the maximum metal removal rate (MRR), or any weighted combination of both. The main machining parameters which are considered as variables of the optimization are the cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and nose radius. The optimum set of these four input parameters is determined for a particular job-tool combination of 7075Al alloy-15 wt. % SiC (20–40 μm) composite and tungsten carbide tool during a single-pass turning which minimizes the tool wear and maximizes the metal removal rate. The regression models, developed for the minimum tool wear and the maximum MRR were used for finding the multiresponse optimization solutions. To obtain a trade-off between the tool wear and MRR the, a method for simultaneous optimization of the multiple responses based on an overall desirability function was used. The research deals with the optimization of multiple surface roughness parameters along with MRR in search of an optimal parametric combination (favorable process environment) capable of producing desired surface quality of the turned product in a relatively lesser time (enhancement in productivity). The multi-objective optimization resulted in a cutting speed of 210 m/min, a feed of 0.16 mm/rev, a depth of cut of 0.42 mm, and a nose radius of 0.40 mm. These machining conditions are expected to respond with the minimum tool wear and maximum the MRR, which correspond to a satisfactory overall desirability.
