Combining the refrigeration and machining technology, the dry cold air at -35°C was gained. With the injecting feeding manner of the cold air for cutting, all application of the green technology is realized in turning manufacturing trials. In order to clarify the cooling and lubrication mechanism of cryogenic cold air, the cutting temperature, cutting forces, wear of cutting tool and cutting chip have been systematically researched with the help of numerical calculation and experiments. The cooling and lubrication effects, as well as the performance of machining quality improvement, enhanced by the low temperature air injecting, have also been analyzed in detail. The results arc as follows. Temperature measurements at several locations on the cutting tool insert agree with the simulation results.

In this paper, there is an attempt to monitor and evaluate machining parameters when turning 34CrNiMo6 material under different cooling and lubrication conditions. The machining parameters concerned are temperature of the cutting tool and the workpiece, level of vibrations of the cutting tool, surface roughness of the workpiece, noise levels of the turning process and current drawn by the main spindle motor. Four different experimental machining scenarios were completed, specifically: conventional wet turning process, dry cutting and two additional modes employing cooling by cold air. Experimental data were acquired and recorded by an optimally designed network of sensors. Experimental data were statistically analyzed in order to reach conclusions. According to the research that has been done, although, overall, minimum cutting tool and workpiece temperatures were observed under wet machining, cold air cooling is capable of achieving comparable cooling results to wet machining. The lowest values of surface roughness were achieved by wet machining, whereas the lowest level of cutting tool vibrations were observed under cold air cooling.

This paper presents a novel approach to measure the cutting temperature in process and control it to some extent by using an internally cooled smart cutting tool with a closed internal cooling circuitry. Numerical modeling based on the finite element analysis-computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is carried out by using ansys and fluent, then the surface temperature distribution of the tool is fitted and the equivalent heat transfer coefficient of the tool surface contacting with cooling fluid is computed. Analytical thermal model of the tool is established based on the lumped parameter method. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation results are in good agreement, which demonstrate that the innovative smart tooling design concept can effectively sense the cutting temperature at the cutting tool tip in process and also be used to reduce and control the critical cutting temperature in cutting zone for adaptive machining of difficult-to-machine materials, such as titanium and Inconel alloys. Experimental cutting trials are carried out to further examine and validate the method and concept of applying the smart cutting tool system.

The poor thermal conductivity and low elongation–to–break ratio of titanium lead to the development of extreme temperatures localized in the tool–chip interface during machining of its alloys and cause accelerated tool wear. The atomization–based cutting fluid (ACF) spray system has recently been demonstrated to improve tool life in titanium machining. In order to understand the cooling and lubrication mechanism of the ACF spray system, it is important to determine the temperature gradient developed inside the entire tool–chip interface. The objective of this work is to measure the cutting temperatures at various locations inside the tool–chip interface during titanium machining with the ACF spray system. The temperature gradient and mean cutting temperature are measured using the inserted and the tool–work thermocouple techniques, respectively. Cutting temperatures for dry machining and machining with flood cooling are also characterized for comparison with the ACF spray system temperature data. Findings reveal that the ACF spray system more effectively reduces cutting temperatures over flood cooling. The tool–chip friction coefficient data indicate that the fluid film created by the ACF spray system also actively penetrates the tool–chip interface to enhance lubrication during titanium machining, especially as the tool wears.

Double tool turning process is used to improve productivity. A 2D finite element model was developed using commercially available finite element analysis software Abaqus 6.13. The workpiece and the cutting tool materials are modelled as elasto-plastic and elastic material respectively. Johnson-Cook damage criterion was used for chip separation. The friction between the cutting tool and the workpiece is modelled based on penalty contact approach. The coefficient of friction between the chip and the first and second cutting tool was taken as 0.8 and 0.6 respectively. In this numerical investigation the effect tool separation distance over the cutting force, feed force and cutting temperature were studied. Three different tool separation distances were considered. The simulation result shows that cutting force and feed force of the front cutting tool and the rear cutting tool do not change appreciably with the variation of the tool separation distance. It was revealed that the temperature rise of the work material due to machining by two cutting tool is well below the recrystallization temperature. Hence the forces on front and rear cutting tool remain same for various tool separation distances. It was also observed that the cutting temperatures remained unchanged for the various tool separation distances.

Ultrasonic-vibration-assisted micro-cutting of Ti-6Al-4V was simulated by finite element analysis software ADVANTEDGE. During the micro-cutting of Ti-6Al-4V the cutting forces were compared between conventional and ultrasonic-vibration-assisted method. In the ultrasonic-vibration-assisted micro-cutting process different frequency and amplitude were applied on the cutting tool. The influences of frequency and amplitude were analyzed. The cutting temperature increases with the increase of the amplitude, and the cutting temperature decreases with the increase of frequency. By using the simulation method the appropriate amplitude and frequency data can be obtained.

Compared with other materials, high-volume fraction aluminum-based silicon carbide composites (hereinafter referred to as SiCp/Al) have many advantages, including high strength, small change in the expansion coefficient due to temperature, high wear resistance, high corrosion resistance, high fatigue resistance, low density, good dimensional stability, and thermal conductivity. SiCp/Al composites have been widely used in aerospace, ordnance, transportation service, precision instruments, and in many other fields. In this study, the ABAQUS/explicit large-scale finite element analysis platform was used to simulate the milling process of SiCp/Al composites. By changing the parameters of the tool angle, milling depth, and milling speed, the influence of these parameters on the cutting force, cutting temperature, cutting stress, and cutting chips was studied. Optimization of the parameters was based on the above change rules to obtain the best processing combination of parameters. Then, the causes of surface machining defects, such as deep pits, shallow pits, and bulges, were simulated and discussed. Finally, the best cutting parameters obtained through simulation analysis was the tool rake angle γ0 = 5°, tool clearance angle α0 = 5°, corner radius r = 0.4 mm, milling depth ap = 50 mm, and milling speed vc= 300 m/min. The optimal combination of milling parameters provides a theoretical basis for subsequent cutting.

Cutting Tool Materials

Aero-engine alloys (also as known as superalloys)are known as difficult-to-machine materials, especially at higher cutting speeds, due to their several inherent properties such as low thermal conductivity and their high reactivity with cutting tool materials. In this paper a finite element analysis (FEA) of machining for Incoloy907 is presented. In particular, the thermodynamical constitutitve equation(T-C-E) in FEA is applied for both workpiece material and tool material. Cutting temperature and cutting force are predicted. The comparison between the predicted and experimental cutting temperature and cutting force are presented and discussed. The results indicated that a good prediction accuracy of both principal cutting temperature and cutting force can be achieved by the method of FEA with thermodynamical constitutitve equation.

Calibration curves of a multi-component dynamometer is of essence in machining operations in a lathe machine as they serve to provide values of force and stress components for cutting tool development and optimization. In this study, finite element analysis has been used to obtain the deflection and stress response of a two component cutting tool lathe dynamometer, for turning operation, when the cutting tool is subjected to cutting and thrust forces from 98.1N to 686.7N (10 to 70kg-wts), at intervals of 98.1N(10kg-wt). By obtaining the governing equation, modeling the dynamometer assembly, defining boundary conditions, generating the assembly mesh, and simulating in Inventor Professional; horizontal and vertical components of deflection by the dynamometer were read off for three different loading scenarios. For these three loading scenarios, calibration plots by experiment compared with plots obtained from simulation by finite element analysis gave accuracies of 79%, 95%, 84% and 36%, 57%, 63% for vertical and horizontal deflections respectively. Also, plots of horizontal and vertical components of Von Mises stress against applied forces were obtained.

Laser Assisted Machining

A higher strength and heat resistance are increasingly demanded from the advanced engineering materials with high temperature applications in the aerospace industry. These properties make machining these materials very difficult because of the high cutting forces, cutting temperature and short tool life present. Laser assisted machining uses a laser beam to heat and soften the workpiece locally in front of the cutting tool. The temperature rise at the shear zone reduces the yield strength and work hardening of the workpiece, which make the plastic deformation of the hard-to-machine materials easier during machining. The state-of-the-art, benefits and challenges in laser assisted machining of metallic materials are summarized in this paper, and the improvement of tool life is discussed in relation to laser power, beam position and machining process parameters.
