The increasing productivity demand in machining industry has lead for fast material removal machining technique of pocket milling using different tool path strategies. This project aims to study about the effect of different tool path strategies on tool wear when machining aluminium alloy 7076. Five milling strategies were evaluated outward helical, inward helical, back and forth, offset on part one-way and offset on part zigzag. CATIA V5R19 was used to setup milling path and the machining experiments were carried out on a HAAS’ 3 axis CNC milling machine. The machining was held under wet condition with 2500 rpm cutting speed, 800 mm/min feed rate, 2 mm radial depth of cut and 2 mm axial depth of cut. The results showed that the best tool path strategies are inward helical and offset on part one-way, while the worst tool path strategy is outward helical. Failure to evacuate chip during pocket milling is the main reason to cause rapid tool wear due to temperature rise and higher contact time and area of cutting tool with the chip. Results from this experiment help to guide the machinist to perform pocket milling effectively.

High speed milling experiments using nitrogen-oil-mist as cutting medium were undertaken to investigate the characteristics of tool wear for Ti-6Al-4V Alloy, a kind of important and commonly used titanium alloy in the aerospace and automobile industries. Uncoated carbide tools have been applied in the experiments. The cutting speed was 300 m/min. The axial depth of cut and the radial depth of cut were kept constant at 5.0 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively. The feed per tooth was 0.1 mm/z. Optical and scanning electron microscopes have been utilized to determine the wear mechanisms of the cutting tools, and energy spectrum analysis has been carried out to measure the elements distribution at the worn areas. Meanwhile, comparisons were made to discuss the influence of different cutting media such as nitrogen-oil-mist and air-oil–mist upon the tool wear. The results of this investigation indicate that the tool life in nitrogen-oil-mist is significantly longer than that in air-oil-mist, and nitrogen-oil-mist is more suitable for high speed milling of Ti-6Al-4V alloy than air-oil-mist.

The length of time in the process of milling machining is influenced by selection and design of machining parameters including cutting speed, feedrate and depth of cut. The purpose of this study to know the influence of cutting speed, feedrate and depth of cut as independent variables versus operation time at CNC milling process as dependent variables. Each independent variable consists of three level of factors; low, medium and high.Time machining process is measured from operation time simulation program, feed cut length and rapid traverse length. The results of statistically from software simulation MasterCam X Milling, then do comparison to CNC Milling machine.  The data from experiments was statistical analyzed by Anova and Regression methods by software minitab 16.Results show that the greater feedrate and depth of cut shorten the operation time of machinery, whereas cutting speed is not significant influence. Depth of cut has the most highly contribution with the value of 49.56%, followed by feedrate 43% and cutting speed 0.92%. Optimal time of machining process total is 71.92 minutes, with machining parameter on the condition cutting speed is 75360 mm/minutes, feedrate is 800 mm/minutes and depth of cut = 1 mm. Results of comparison time machining process in software Mastercam X milling with CNC Milling machine indicates there is difference not significant with the value of 0,35%.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the cutting performance of high-speed regime end milling of AISI 4340 by investigating the tool life and wear mechanism of steel using the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique to deliver the cutting fluid. Design/methodology/approach The experiments were designed using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array with the parameters chosen: cutting speed (between 300 and 400 m/min), feed rate (between 0.15 and 0.3 mm/tooth), axial depth of cut (between 0.5 and 0.7 mm) and radial depth of cut (between 0.3 and 0.7 mm). Toolmaker microscope, optical microscope and Hitachi SU3500 Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscope used to measure tool wear progression and wear mechanism. Findings Cutting speed 65.36%, radial depth of cut 24.06% and feed rate 6.28% are the cutting parameters that contribute the most to the rate of tool life. The study of the tool wear mechanism revealed that the oxide layer was observed during lower and high cutting speeds. The former provides a cushion of the protective layer while later reduce the surface hardness of the coated tool Originality/value A high-speed regime is usually carried out in dry conditions which can shorten the tool life and accelerate the tool wear. Thus, this research is important as it investigates how the use of MQL and cutting parameters can prolong the usage of tool life and at the same time to achieve a sustainable manufacturing process.

Cutting Speeds

In pocketing operation for mold and die, the variation of tool engagement angle causes variation in the cutting force and also cutting temperature. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of tool engagement on cutting temperature when using the contour in tool path strategy for different cutting speeds. Cutting speeds of 150, 200 and 250m/min, feedrate from 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 mm/tooth and depths of cut of 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 mm were applied for the cutting process. The result shows that by increasing cutting speed, the cutting temperature would rise. Varying the tool engagement also varied the cutting temperature. This can be seen clearly when the tool makes a 90oturn and along the corner region. Along the corner, the engagement angle varies accordingly with the radial depth of cut.

In machining, the interfacial friction between cutting tool and work material leads to tool wear which is considered a critical factor for surface quality of machined components. Surface integrity and fatigue life of machined components will deteriorate when tool flank wear progresses in machining. Hard milling experiments on AISI H13 tool steel (50 ± 1 HRC) using PVD coated tools with different levels of flank wear were conducted in this study. Surface integrity of the machined components with flank wear VB = 0 mm, 0.1 mm and 0.2 mm was characterized. The effects of cutting speed, feed, and radial depth-of-cut on surface integrity were investigated respectively at the three levels of tool flank wear. In addition, four-point bending fatigue tests were performed on the milled samples at five levels of different flank wear (VB = 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20 mm) to evaluate the trend of fatigue life evolution with the increased tool flank wear.

Tool wear prediction plays a significant role in machining industry for proper planning and control machining parameters and optimization of cutting conditions. This paper aims to investigate the effect of tool path strategies that are contour-in and zigzag tool path strategies applied on tool wear during pocket milling process. The experiments were carried out on CNC vertical machining centre by involving PVD coated carbide inserts. Cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut were set to vary. In an experiment with three factors at three levels, Response Surface Method (RSM) design of experiment with a standard called Central Composite Design (CCD) was employed. Results obtained indicate that tool wear increases significantly at higher range of feed per tooth compared to cutting speed and depth of cut. This result of this experimental work is then proven statistically by developing empirical model. The prediction model for the response variable of tool wear for contour-in strategy developed in this research shows a good agreement with experimental work.

In this paper, some experiments were conducted to investigate tool wear when end-milling Inconel 718 with the TiAlN-TiN PVD coated carbide inserts. The worn tools were examined thoroughly under scanning electron microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy and 3D digital microscope to expatiate tool wear morphologies and relevant mechanisms. The flank wear was uniformity in finishing milling process, and the average flank wear were selected as the criterion to study the effects of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut) on tool wear. Finally, the optimal combination of the cutting parameters for the desired tool life is obtained.

Cutting Speeds

In the present study, face milling of AISI H13 steel (46-47 HRC) with CBN tools was conducted. Cutting speeds 389 and 1592 m/min were adopted in order to identify the characteristics of cutting force and tool wear at low and high cutting speeds. For each cutting speed, the metal removal rate and axial depth of cut were set to be invariable, and different combinations of radial depth of cut and feed per tooth were selected. The optimum combination of radial depth of cut and feed per tooth for each cutting speed was distinguished. For different cutting speeds, the cutting force changed in varying ways with different combinations of cutting parameters. At the cutting speed of 389 m/min, after the initial cutting stage, the tool wear rate was low even at the end of tool life. When the cutting speed was 1592 m/min, the tool wear increased rapidly, and the tool wear rate changed little in the whole tool life span. Adhesion and abrasion were the main wear mechanisms of the tool faces at the cutting speed of 389 m/min. While at the cutting speed of 1592 m/min, fracture contributed greatly to the final tool failure.

Titanium alloys are widely used in the manufacture of aircraft and aeroengine components. However, tool wear is a serious concern in milling titanium alloys, which are known as hard-to-cut materials. Trochoidal milling is a promising technology for the high-efficiency machining of hard-to-cut materials. Aiming to realize green machining titanium alloy, this paper investigates the effects of undeformed chip thickness on tool wear and chip morphology in the dry trochoidal milling of titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V. A tool wear model related to the radial depth of cut based on the volume of material removed (VMR) is established for trochoidal milling, and optimized cutting parameters in terms of cutting speed and axial depth of cut are selected to improve machining efficiency through reduced tool wear. The investigation enables the environmentally clean rough machining of Ti–6Al–4V.
