This research presents the performance of Aluminum Nitride ceramic in end milling using two flute square end micro grain solid carbide end mill under dry cutting. Surface finish is one of the important requirements in the machining process. This paper describes mathematically the effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness in end milling process. The quadratic model for the surface roughness has been developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using the response surface methodology (RSM). Design of experiments approach was employed in developing the surface roughness model in relation to cutting parameters. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental results within the specified range of cutting conditions. Experimental results showed surface roughness increases with increase in the cutting speed, feed rate, and the axial depth of cut.

Surface roughness is one of the most significant parameters to determine quality of machined parts. Surface roughness is defined as a group of irregular waves in the surface, measured in micrometers (μm). Many investigations have been performed to verify the relationship between surface roughness and cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. To predict the surface produced by end milling, surface roughness models have been developed in this paper using the machining forces by assuming the end mill cutter as a cantilever beam rigidly or semi- rigidly supported by tool holder. An Aluminium workpiece and solid carbide end mill tools are used in this work. Model to predict surface roughness has been developed. Close relationship between machined surface roughness and roughness predicted using the measured forces signals.

Surface quality is among the predominant criterion in measuring machining process performance, including milling. It is extremely dependent on the process variable, such as cutting parameters and cutting tool conditions. The main intention of this research work is to study the effect of the milling machining parameters, including depth of cut, spindle speed, feed rate as well as machining pattern to the final surface area roughness of the fabricated dimple structure. The concave profile of the dimple is machined at the right angle to a flat Al6061 specimen using a ball end mill attached to a 3-axis CNC milling machine, and the surface area of the concave profile is measured using 3D measuring laser microscope. It is observed that surface area roughness reacts with the spindle speed and feed rate with different tool sizes. Based on the result gained, the work has successfully characterised the influence of studied milling parameters on the dimple surface area roughness, where within the range of the studied parameter, the surface area roughness varies only less than 2.2 μm. The research work will be continued further on the incline milling technique and micro size ball end mill.

In this research work, the effects of three parameters, namely, cutting speed, feed and axial depth of cut were studied upon tool life. The milling was performed under environment of minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL), using coated carbide inserts. For tool life, cutting speed was found as the most influential parameter followed by the axial depth of cut and feed rate. High values of cutting speed proved unfavorable for tool life. The major tool damage mechanisms detected were notch wear, diffusion, adhesion, and chipping. The severity of chipping was relatively smaller as compared to that of adhesion and of notch wear because of effective application of MQL employed. The encouraging results include significant increase in tool life by MQL mainly through reduction in the cutting zone temperature and favorable change in the chip-tool and work-tool interaction.

Microlubrication minimizes the exposure of metal working fluids to the machining operators leading to an economical, safer, and healthier workplace environment. In this study, a vegetable oil-based lubricant was used to conduct wear analysis and to analyze the effectiveness of microlubrication during end milling AISI 1018 steel. A solid carbide cutting tool with bright oxide finish was used with varying cutting speed and feed rate having a constant depth of cut. Abrasion was the dominant wear mechanism for all the cutting tools under consideration. Other than abrasion, sliding adhesive wear of the workpiece materials was also observed. The scanning electron microscope investigation of the used cutting tools revealed microfatigue cracks, welded microchips, and unusual built-up edges on the cutting tools flank and rake side. A full factorial experiment was conducted and regression models were generated for both the sides of tool flank wear. The study shows that with a proper selection of the cutting parameters it is possible to obtain higher tool life.

End milling is a multipoint cutting process in which material is removed from a workpiece by a rotating tool. It is widely used in cutting 2.5D profiles such as point-to-point, contouring, and pocketing operations. 2.5D machining possesses the capability to translate in all 3 axes but can perform the cutting operation in only 2 of the 3 axes at a time. This study focuses on optimizing the cutting parameters, such as machined surface inclinationangle, axial depth of cut, spindle speed, and feed rate for better surface integrity, namely, microhardness, residual stress, and microstructure in 2.5D cutting utilizing a titanium-coated carbide ball end mill. An optimization method known as Taguchi optimization, which includes planning, conducting, and analyzing results of matrix experiments, was used in order to achieve the best cutting parameter level. Data analysis was conducted using signal-to-noise (S/N) and target performance measurement (TPM) response analysis and analysis of variance (Pareto ANOVA). The optimum condition results obtained through analysis show improvements in microhardness of about 0.7%, residual stress in the feed direction of about 18.6%, and residual stress in the cutting direction of about 15.4%.

The main objective of this paper is to investigate and optimize the cutting parameters on multiple performance characteristics in end milling of Aluminium Silicon alloy reinforced with Aluminium Nitride (AlSi/AlN MMC) using Taguchi method and Grey relational analysis (GRA). The fabrication of AlSi/AlN MMC was made via stir casting with various volume fraction of particles reinforcement (10%, 15% and 20%). End milling machining was done under dry cutting condition by using two types of cutting tool (uncoated & PVD TiAlN coated carbide). Eighteen experiments (L18) orthogonal array with five factors (type of tool, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and volume fraction of particles reinforcement) were implemented. The analysis of optimization using GRA concludes that the better results for the combination of lower surface roughness, longer tool life, lower cutting force and higher material removal could be achieved when using uncoated carbide with cutting speed 240m/min, feed 0.4mm/tooth, depth of cut 0.3mm and 15% volume fraction of AlN particles reinforcement. The study confirmed that with a minimum number of experiments, Taguchi method is capable to design the experiments and optimized the cutting parameters for these performance characteristics using GRA for this newly develop material under investigation.

An experiment of face milling of Invar36 was conducted by using coated carbide insert, the microhardness was tested and the metallographic structure was observed to figure out the principles of work-hardening. The results showed that the depth of work-hardening ranges from 80μm to 160μm among the parameters selected in the experiments. The degree and the depth of work-hardening were significantly affected by the axial depth of cut and feed per tooth. The degree and the depth of work-hardening showed a tendency to increase with the increase of the axial depth of cut and feed per tooth. Compared with the axial depth of cut and feed per tooth, cutting speed had less influence on the degree and depth of work-hardening. The degree and depth of work- hardening decreased slowly with the increase of cutting speed. Metallographic observation showed that work-hardening layer consisted of the thermal force influenced layer and the force influenced layer, while the amorphous metallographic structure was observed in the thermal force influenced layer, and lattice distortion was observed in the force influenced layer.
