The manufacturing of aeronautic parts with high mechanical properties requires the use of high performance materials. That’s why; new materials are used for landing gears such as the titanium alloy Ti-5553. The machining of this material leads to high cutting forces and temperatures, and poor machinability which requires the use of low cutting conditions. In order to increase the productivity rate, one solution could be to raise the workpiece initial temperature. Assisted hot machining consists in heating the workpiece material before the material removal takes place, in order to weaken the material mechanical properties, and thus reducing at least the cutting forces. First, a bibliography review has been done in order to determine all heating instruments used and the thermal alleviation that exists on conventional materials. An induction assisted hot machining was chosen and a system capable to maintain a constant temperature into the workpiece during machining (turning) was designed. Trails permit to identify the variation of cutting forces according to the initial temperature of the workpiece, with fixed cutting conditions according to the TMP (Tool-Material-Pair) methodology at ambient temperature. Tool life and deterioration mode are identified notably. The results analysis shows a low reduction of specific cutting forces for a temperature area compatible with industrial process. The reduction is more important at elevated temperature. However, it has consequences on quality of the workpiece surface and tool wear.

The objective of this paper is experimentally investigation of the effects of different chip breaker forms on the cutting forces according to various cutting parameters. AISI 1050 workpiece material, most used material in the manufacturing industry, and SNMG 120408R inserts and PSBNR 2525M12 tool holder have 75° approaching angle according to ISO 3685 are used in the experiments. Seven groups chip breaker form were used in the tests. The chip breaker forms are the coated inserts MA, SA, MS, GH and standard, and the uncoated inserts MS and standard. These inserts are Mitsubishi UC 6010 and UTI20T grade; correspond to ISO P30 and P15 grade, respectively. Machining tests were carried out by using five levels of cutting speeds (150, 200, 250, 300, 350 m/min), three levels of feed rate (0.15, 0.25, 0.35 mm/rev) and two levels of depth of cut (1.6, 2.5 mm). Cutting forces were measured using Kistler dynamometer. The test results show that the highest cutting force values were measured on SA, GH, MA forms, respectively. Complex chip breaker forms cause the increase of the cutting forces. Although the cutting forces on the uncoated inserts were partly small in light cutting conditions, it has increased on the uncoated inserts in heavy cutting conditions compared to coated inserts.

Silicon nitride (Si3N4) based ceramic tools exhibit good machinability in cutting materials such as gray cast iron, ductile iron, malleable cast iron, and superalloys due to excellent high-temperature mechanical properties. In this paper, high-performance Si3N4-based ceramic tools containing tungsten carbide (WC) and cobalt (Co) were studied. Effects of the WC content and Co content on mechanical properties and a microstructure of Si3N4-based ceramic materials were analyzed. Results showed that Si3N4-based ceramic material containing 10 wt % WC and 1 wt % Co had the best comprehensive mechanical properties at a sintering temperature of 1650 °C and holding time of 6 min, achieving Vickers hardness, fracture toughness, and room temperature bending strength of 16.96 GPa, 7.26 MPa·m1/2, and 1132 MPa, respectively. The microstructure of Si3N4-based ceramic tool material is uniform without obvious abnormal growth. The Si3N4-based ceramic tool was mainly composed of α-Si3N4, β-Si3N4, and WC phases.

An application of hard engineering materials depends especially on their specific properties, included mechanical properties and their machinability. Technical ceramics belongs to such materials. Nowadays, due to its properties, it is a process of grinding that is applied in machining. Because the technical ceramics has high hardness and brittleness it is important to pay attention to the whole process of machining. In this case of the grinding, there is need to pay attention to the process from disc engagement to grind off the desired layer. The paper deals with an implementation of grinding of ceramic materials in context of determining of elements of cutting forces and the surface roughness evaluation. These are important aspects for determining the suitability of the cutting conditions and the possibility of their use in the production process.

In metal cutting practices, for a given tool material, tool geometry is a very important element and must be carefully designed in relation to the workpiece material to be machined. Patterns of tool stress are varying with input cutting conditions; however, effects of tool geometry on tool stress are not clearly understood. The load distribution on tool face is affected by the tool geometry and this causes the change of the stress distribution on the tool.

In modern manufacturing processes such as hot forming or additive manufacturing, the workpiece material undergoes very complex thermomechanical load cycles. The local mechanical properties in the component are process-dependent and the result of the different micro-structure evolution mechanisms in the material. Numerical process simulation tools aim to include more and more of these mechanisms in order to improve the accuracy of the simulations. The mechanical strength of high-performance materials such as Ti-6Al-4V depends on microstructural parameters, which are influenced by the temperature and strain histories. This contribution puts forward an implementation of a new generalized internal variables material model *MAT_GENERALIZED_PHASECHANGE in LS-DYNA. The evolution of internal variables such as phase fractions, grain size and dislocation densities can be predicted by evolution equations, and combined with yield stress models taking the contribution of the phases, grain sizes (Hall-Petch effect), and the dislocation density into account to predict the resulting mechanical properties of the processed material. The benefits of the implementation in the commercial software LS-DYNA is the possibility to solve complex coupled problems. For example, the new material law can be used to simulate hybrid manufacturing processes like forging and an additional additive manufacturing process, where changes in microstructure are highly coupled and important for the part properties.

During these last 10 years, high performance correction procedures have been developed for classical EPMA, and it is nowadays possible to obtain accurate quantitative analysis even for soft X-ray radiations. It is also possible to perform EPMA by adapting this accurate quantitative procedures to unusual applications such as the measurement of the segregation on wide areas in as-cast and sheet steel products.The main objection for analysis of segregation in steel by means of a line-scan mode is that it requires a very heavy sampling plan to make sure that the most significant points are analyzed. Moreover only local chemical information is obtained whereas mechanical properties are also dependant on the volume fraction and the spatial distribution of highly segregated zones. For these reasons we have chosen to systematically acquire X-ray calibrated mappings which give pictures similar to optical micrographs. Although mapping requires lengthy acquisition time there is a corresponding increase in the information given by image anlysis.

Abstract Several zinc dithiocarbamates (ZDCs) as accelerator derived from safe amine has been exclusively studied in the presence of thiazole-based accelerators to introduce safe dithiocarbamate in the vulcanization of natural rubber. Comparison has been made between conventional unsafe zinc dimethyldithiocarbamate (ZDMC) with safe novel ZDC combined with thizole-based accelerators in the light of mechanical properties. The study reveals that thiuram disulfide and 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) are always formed from the reaction either between ZDC and dibenzothiazyledisulfide (MBTS) or between ZDC and N-cyclohexyl-2-benzothiazole sulfenamide (CBS). It has been conclusively proved that MBT generated from MBTS or CBS reacts with ZDC and produces tetramethylthiuram disulfide. The observed synergistic activity has been discussed based on the cure and physical data and explained through the results based on high-performance liquid chromatography and a reaction mechanism. Synergistic activity is observed in all binary systems studied. The highest tensile strength is observed in the zinc (N-benzyl piperazino) dithiocarbamate-accelerated system at 3:6 mM ratios. In respect of tensile strength and modulus value, unsafe ZDMC can be successfully replaced by safe ZDCs in combination with thiazole group containing accelerator.
