High Speed Machining is applicable for producing parts that require little or no grinding / polishing operations within the required machining tolerances. For achieving required level of quality, selection of cutting tools and parameters in high speed machining is very important. In this study, small diameter flat end milling tool was used to achieve high rpm to facilitate the application of low values of feed and depth of cut to achieve better surface roughness. Machining was performed on a Vertical Machining Centre (VMC) with a high speed milling attachment (HES 510), using cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed as machining variables. Statistical prediction model of average surface roughness was developed using three-level full factorial design of experiments. It was observed that depth of cut is the most dominating factor followed by cutting speed and feed. The developed model was used for optimization by desirability function approach to obtain minimum Ra. Maximum desirability of 95.63% was obtained.

Surface finish and dimensional accuracy is one of the most important requirements in machining process. Inconel 718 has been widely used in the aerospace industries. High speed machining (HSM) is capable of producing parts that require little or no grinding/lapping operations within the required machining tolerances. In this study small diameter tools are used to achieve high rpm to facilitate the application of low values of feed and depths of cut to investigate better surface finish in high speed machining of Inconel 718. This paper describes mathematically the effect of cutting parameters on Surface roughness in high speed end milling of Inconel 718. The mathematical model for the surface roughness has been developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using design of experiments and the response surface methodology (RSM). Central composite design was employed in developing the surface roughness models in relation to primary cutting parameters. Machining were performed using CNC Vertical Machining Center (VMC) with a HES510 high speed machining attachment in which using a 4mm solid carbide fluted flat end mill tool. Wyko NT1100 optical profiler was used to measure the definite machined surface for obtaining the surface roughness data. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental one and hence the model can be efficiently used to predict the surface roughness value with in the specified cutting conditions limit.

In this study, statistical models were developed using the capabilities of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to predict the surface roughness in high-speed flat end milling of Ti-6Al-4V under dry cutting conditions. Machining was performed on a five-axis NC milling machine with a high speed attachment, using spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut as machining variables. The adequacy of the model was tested at 95% confidence interval. Meanwhile, a time trend was observed in residual values between model predictions and experimental data, reflecting little deviations in surface roughness prediction. A very good performance of the RSM model, in terms of agreement with experimental data, was achieved. It is observed that cutting speed has the most significant influence on surface roughness followed by feed and depth of cut. The model can be used for the analysis and prediction of the complex relationship between cutting conditions and the surface roughness in flat end milling of Ti-6Al-4V materials. The developed quadratic prediction model on surface roughness was coupled with the genetic algorithm to optimize the cutting parameters for the minimum surface roughness.

Hard milling of hardened steel has wide application in mould and die industries. However, milling induced surface finish has received little attention. An experimental investigation is conducted to comprehensively characterize the surface roughness of AISI D2 hardened steel (58-62 HRC) in end milling operation using TiAlN/AlCrN multilayer coated carbide. Surface roughness (Ra) was examined at different cutting speed (v) and radial depth of cut (dr) while the measurement was taken in feed speed, Vf and cutting speed, Vc directions. The experimental results show that the milled surface is anisotropic in nature. Surface roughness values in feed speed direction do not appear to correspond to any definite pattern in relation to cutting speed, while it increases with radial depth-of-cut within the range 0.13-0.24 µm. In cutting speed direction, surface roughness value decreases in the high speed range, while it increases in the high radial depth of cut. Radial depth of cut is the most influencing parameter in surface roughness followed by cutting speed.

In this paper, high speed milling experiments on Ti6Al4V were conducted with coated carbide inserts under a wide range of cutting conditions. The effects of cutting speed, feed rate and radial depth of cut on the cutting forces, chip morphologies as well as surface roughness were investigated. The results indicated that the cutting speed 200m/min could be considered as a critical value at which both relatively low cutting forces and good surface quality can be obtained at the same time. When the cutting speed exceeds 200m/min, the cutting forces increase rapidly and the surface quality degrades. There exist obvious correlations between cutting forces and surface roughness.

This article presents the results of an experimental investigation into the machinability of Ti6Al4V alloy during hard turning, including both conventional and high-speed machining, using polycrystalline diamond (PCD) inserts. A central composite design of experiment procedure was followed to examine the effects of variable process parameters; feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut (each at five levels) and their interaction effects on surface roughness and cutting temperature as process responses. The results revealed that cutting temperature increased with increasing cutting speed and decreasing feed rate in both conventional and high-speed machining. It was found that high-speed machining showed an average increase in cutting temperature of 65% compared with conventional machining. Nevertheless, high-speed machining showed better performance in terms of lower surface roughness despite using higher feed rates compared to conventional machining. High-speed machining of Ti6Al4V showed an improvement in surface roughness of 11% compared with conventional machining, with a 207% increase in metal removal rate (MRR) which offered the opportunity to increase productivity. Finally, an inverse relationship was verified between generated cutting temperature and surface roughness. This was attributed mainly to the high cutting temperature generated, softening, and decreasing strength of the material in the vicinity of the cutting zone which in turn enabled smoother machining and reduced surface roughness.

This paper presents the effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness in end milling of Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V under the influence of magnetic field from permanent magnets. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with a small central composite design was used in developing the relationship between cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut, with surface roughness. In this experiment, three factors and five levels of central composite with 0.16817 alpha value was used as an approach to predict the surface roughness, in end milling of titanium alloy, with reasonable accuracy. The Design-Expert 6.0 software was applied to develop the surface roughness equation for the predictive model. The adequacy of the surface roughness model was validated to 95% by using ANOVA analysis. Finally, desirability function approach was used to determine the optimum possible surface roughness given the capabilities of the end machine.

Roughness Analysis

High-speed machining is widely applied for the processing of lightweight materials and also structural and tool steels. These materials are intensively used in the aerospace and the automotive industries. The advantages of high-speed machining lie not only in the speed of machining (lower costs and higher productivity) but also in attaining higher surface quality (prescribed surface roughness without surface defects). Based on this concept, in the present paper the high speed-dry turning of AISI O, (manganese-chromium-tungsten / W.-Nr. 1.2510) tool-steel specimens is reported. The influence of the main machining parameters i.e., cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the resulted center-line average surface roughness (Ra) is examined. Types of wear phenomena occurred during the course of the present experimental study as well as tool wear patterns were also monitored.

This research demonstrated the use of conventional milling machines with diamond coated tools, high speed attachments, and air blowing mechanisms for ductile mode machining of silicon and subsequently modeling and optimizing the resultant surface roughness. Spindle speed, depth of cut, and feed rate, ranges: 60,000 to 80,000 rpm, 10 to 20 µm, and 5 to 15 mm/min respectively, were considered as the independent machining parameters for the modeling process. Compressed air at 0.35 MPa was also provided to prevent chip deposition on the finished surfaces. The resultant surfaces were analysed using Optical and Scanning Electron (SEM) Microscopes as well as Wyko NT 1100 and SurfTest SV-500 profilometers. The response, surface roughness, was then modeled using a small Central Composite Design (CCD) in Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The quadratic relation was found to be most suitable following Fit and Summary and ANOVA analyses. The relation was then optimized using Desirability Function (DF) in Design of Expert (DOE) software. The optimum attainable surface roughness, which was validated using experimental runs, was found to be 0.11 µm which may be considered quite satisfactory.

The method of imparting ultrasonic vibration to the cutting tool is known to improve the shape accuracy and finished surface roughness. However, a uniform evaluation of this function in drilling has not been achieved, and the cutting process cannot be checked from the outside. The aim of this study is to investigate the cutting characteristics in deep hole drilling when an ultrasonic vibrator on the table of a machining center provides vibration with a frequency of 20 kHz to the work piece. The ultrasonic vibrations in this system reach the maximum amplitude in the center of the work material. We evaluated the change in finished surface roughness between the section where drilling starts to the point of maximum amplitude with ultrasonic vibration. The main cutting conditions are as follows: cutting speed (V) 12.6 (mm/min); feed rate (s) 30, 60 (mm/rev); depth of cut (t) = 32 (mm); work material, tool steel; cutting tool material, HSS; point angle (σ) 118 (°); and drill diameter (φ) 4 (mm). Lubricant powder was also added to clarify the cutting effect, and compared the condition in which there was no ultrasonic vibration. The results showed that surface roughness at the point of maximum amplitude was better than that with no vibration.
