A research was conducted for the optimization in the drilling process of KFRP stacked, with multiple performance characteristics based on the orthogonal array with Taguchi-grey-fuzzy method. The experimental study was conducted under varying the drilling process parameters (feeding speed (mm/min) and cutting speed (m/min)) and tool geometries (point geometry and point angle (degree)). The optimized multiple performances characteristics were thrust force, torque and surface roughness. The quality characteristics of thrust force, torque and surface roughness were smaller-is-better. The experimental design used L18 orthogonal array with two replications. Experimental results have shown that machining performance in the drilling process can be improved effectively through this method.

This paper presents optimization of plasma heat assisted turning process for machining hardened EN24 die steel (53HRC) by using gray relational analysis. Flank wear and surface roughness (Ra) are experimentally measured as the process performance characteristics under varying conditions of preheating temperature, cutting speed and cutting length. The plasma heating approach was implemented to preheat the workpiece. The machining experiments were conducted according to the L16 design of experiments. Since the chosen machining performance indicators are found with confliction for the chosen process variables, the problem is treated as multi-response optimization problem to minimize the tool wear and surface roughness simultaneously. Therefore, the problem was solved by implementing the gray relational analysis and the derived optimal machining conditions were analysed and reported.

There is increasing use of wood-based composites in industry not only because of the shortage of solid wood, but above all for their better properties such as: strength, aesthetic appearance, etc., compared to wood. Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is a wood-based composite that is widely used in the furniture industry. The goal of the research conducted was to determine the effect of the type of coating on the drill cutting blades on the value of thrust force (Ft), cutting torque (Mc), cutting tool temperature (T) and surface roughness of the hole in drilling MDF panels. In the tests, three types of carbide drills (HW) were used: not coated, TiAlN coated and ZrN coated. The measurement of both the thrust force and the cutting torque was carried out using an industrial piezoelectric sensor. The temperature of the cutting tool in the drilling process was measured using an industrial temperature measurement system using a K-type thermocouple. It was found that the value of the maximum temperature of the tool in the drilling process depends not only on the cutting speed and feed rate, but also on the type of coating of the cutting tool. The value of both the cutting torque and the thrust force is significantly influenced by the value of the feed rate and the type of drill coating. The effect of varying plate density on the surface roughness of the hole and the variation of the value of the thrust force is also discussed. The results of the investigations were statistically analyzed using a multi-factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA).

A research was conducted for the optimization of the turning process st 60 tool steel with multiple performance characteristics based on the orthogonal array with Taguchi-WPCA method. Minimum Quantity Cooling Lubrication (MQCL) metode was applied as a coolant. The experimental studies were conducted under varying the cutting speed, feeding, depth of cut and type of coolant. The optimized multiple performance characteristics were surface roughness, and material removal rate. An orthogonal array, signal-to-noise ratio, grey relational analysis, weighted pricipal component analysis and analysis of variance were employed to study the multiple performance characteristics. Experimental results show that cutting speed gives the highest contribution for minimize of surface roughness and maximize of material removal rate, followed by feeding speed, type of coolant and depth of cut. The minimum of surface roughness and maximize of material removal rat could be obtained by using the values of cutting speed, feeding speed,  depth of cut and type of coolant of 172.95 m/minute, 0.053 mm/rev, 0.25 mm, and vegetable oil as a coolant respectively.

The differences in the cutting speed are a serious problem along the cutting edge of the drill, in drilling operations. This problem can partly be solved reducing the length of the cutting edge via changing the drill point angle. In addition, in this study, the effect of point angle, feed rate, and cutting speed on drilling is investigated. For identifying the optimum cutting parameters, AISI 1050 steel alloy was selected as the experimental specimen, these specimen were pre-drilled 5 mm in diameter due to eliminating the effect of the chisel edge. In the experiments, the holes were drilled only at a depth of 10 mm in order not to give any harm to the dynamometer while measuring thrust force. For this aim, in drilling process, drills with point angle of 100°, 118°, 136°, 154°, and 172° were selected. In conclusion, the thrust force, the tool wear, and the surface roughness linearly decreased with increasing point angles due to less removal chip area, in per revolve of the tool. However, the thrust force, the tool wear, and the surface roughness were adversely affected at higher feed rates and lower cutting speeds. The hole dimensional accuracy decreased at lower feed rates and cutting speeds but at higher point angles and concurrently at higher feed rates but lower point angles and cutting speeds. However, the hole dimensional accuracy showed more decisiveness at 118° than other point angles, while the highest dimensional accuracy values recorded at 136° point angle, at higher cutting speeds.

Abstract Experimental and theoretical research data was utilized in building a Fuzzy Logic Controller model applied to simulate the drilling process of composite materials. The objective is to have a better understanding and control of delamination of composites during the drilling process and at the same time to improve the hole finish by controlling fraying and splintering. By controlling the main issues in the drilling process such as feed rate, cutting speed, thrust force, and torque generated in addition to the tool geometry, it is possible to optimize the drilling process avoiding the conventionally encountered problems.

This study investigated the cutting characteristics of electrodeposited diamond core drill when used to drill a CFRP under wet condition. The effects of different tool shapes, grain sizes and feed rates were examined. A normal core drill, an eccentric with slits core drill (E.S.), and an eccentric with slits and chamfers core drill (E.S.C.) were used. The normal core drill had the shape of a hollow cylinder. The E.S. core drill had the inner cylinder shifted from the center of this tool and slits in the bottom of this tool. The E.S.C. core drill had chamfers on the periphery of this tool. The normal core drill caused severe workpiece core jamming even at 1st hole drilling, and its electro-deposited area was covered entirely by adhered chips. In the case of the E.S. core drill and E.S.C. core drill, the workpiece core did not jam and the thrust force was smaller than that of the normal core drill. The effect of chamfers was little. The E.S.C. core drill with #200 caused smaller surface roughness than that with #100. However, the thrust force was two times larger, and the delamination was observed at the exit point of the hole. In the lower feed rate per revolution the better surface roughness and the lower thrust force were obtained irrespective of the tool shape while the cutting speed showed little effect.

These days, power consumption and energy related issues are very hot topics of research especially for machine tooling process industries because of the strict environmental regulations and policies. Hence, the present paper discusses the application of such an advanced machining process i.e., ultrasonic assisted turning (UAT) process with the collaboration of nature inspired algorithms to determine the ideal solution. The cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and frequency of cutting tool were considered as input variables and the machining performance of Nimonic-90 alloy in terms of surface roughness and power consumption has been investigated. Then, the experimentation was conducted as per the Taguchi L9 orthogonal array and the mono as well as bi-objective optimizations were performed with standard particle swarm and hybrid particle swarm with simplex methods (PSO-SM). Further, the statistical analysis was performed with well-known analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. After that, the regression equation along with selected boundary conditions was used for creation of fitness function in the subjected algorithms. The results showed that the UAT process was more preferable for the Nimconic-90 alloy as compared with conventional turning process. In addition, the hybrid PSO-SM gave the best results for obtaining the minimized values of selected responses.

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of surface characteristics and drilling performance of uncoated and coated tungsten carbide drills. The single- and double-layer coatings of TiN, TiAlN and AlCrN were examined in terms of surface roughness, microhardness and crack resistance. In addition, drilling torque and thrust force were experimentally measured and compared to the developed models based on the drilling mechanics and drill geometries. Tool wear and hole surface roughness were also considered to assess the machining performance of different coated tools. The results revealed that all coated drills can offer better cut surface quality, 28% lower cutting loads and longer tool life than the uncoated drills. Although AlCrN was found to be the hardest coating material among the others, it caused large wear on the cutting edges and poor surface roughness of produced holes. The lowest torque and thrust force were achievable using TiN-coated drill, while the use of TiAlN coating resulted in the lowest surface roughness and smallest tool wear. Furthermore, the drilling torque and thrust force model developed in this study were found to correspond to the experimental measures with the average error of 8.4%. The findings of this work could facilitate the selection of coating materials to advance the machining performance.

In this study, the mechanical and machinability characteristics of chitosan (Cts)-filled polypropylene (PP) composites produced by injection molding method were analyzed. Uniaxial tensile, impact, hardness, and three-point flexural tests were used to observe the influence of Cts filler on the mechanical behavior of PP. For the machinability analysis of these materials, drilling experiments based on Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal array were performed using different drill qualities and machining parameters. Then, machining conditions are optimized through grey relational analysis methodology for machinability characteristics such as thrust force and surface roughness obtained from drilling tests. The results showed that tensile, flexural strength, and percentage elongation decreased while impact strength increased with adding the Cts filler to PP. Moreover, it was determined that the tensile and flexural modulus of elasticity increased significantly and there was a slight increase in hardness. Thrust forces decreased while surface roughness values increased when the Cts filler ratio and feed rate was increased. The optimal machining conditions for minimizing thrust force and surface roughness was obtained as PP/10 wt% Cts material, uncoated tungsten carbide drill, feed rate of 0.05 mm/rev, and cutting speed of 40 m/min. In this regard, PP composite reinforced by 10 wt% Cts is recommended for industrial applications in terms of both the mechanical and machinability characteristics.
