This research presents the development of the surface roughness prediction in the turning process of the plain carbon steel with the coated carbide tool by using the response surface analysis with the Box-Behnken design. The effects of cutting parameters on the cutting force and the cutting temperature are investigated. The cutting force and the cutting temperature are measured to help analyze the relation between the surface roughness and the cutting conditions. The models of cutting force ratio and the cutting temperature are also proposed based on the experimental data. The surface plots are constructed to determine the optimum cutting condition referring to the minimum surface roughness.

This paper presents the development of the in-process surface roughness prediction in the CNC turning process of the plain carbon steel with the coated carbide tool by utilizing the dynamic cutting force ratio. The dynamic cutting forces are measured to analyze the relation between the surface roughness and the cutting conditions. The proposed surface roughness model is developed based on the experimentally obtained results by employing the exponential function with six factors of the cutting speed, the feed rate, the tool nose radius, the depth of cut, the rake angle, and the dynamic cutting force ratio. The dynamic cutting force ratio can be calculated and obtained by taking the ratio of the corresponding time records of the area of the dynamic feed force to that of the dynamic main force. The relation between the dynamic cutting force ratio and the surface roughness can be proved by the obtained frequency of them in frequency domain which are the same frequency. The proposed model has been proved by the new cutting tests with the high accuracy of 91.04% by utilizing the dynamic cutting force ratio.

This paper presents the surface roughness model which is proposed and developed to predict the surface roughness in the CNC turning of the carbon steel with the coated carbide tool under various cutting conditions by using the response surface analysis with the Box-Behnken design based on the experimental results. The in-process monitoring of the cutting force and the cutting temperature is utilized to analyze the relation between the surface roughness and the cutting condition. The tool dynamometer and the infrared pyrometer are employed and installed on the turret of CNC turning machine to measure the in-process cutting force and cutting temperature. The models of cutting force ratio and cutting temperature are also developed based on the experimental data. The optimum cutting condition is determined referring to the minimum surface roughness of the surface plot, which is obtained from the developed surface roughness model. The experimental results show that the higher cutting speed gives the better surface roughness due to the higher cutting temperature, however the tool life becomes shorter. The feed rate is the most significant factor which affects the surface roughness, while a small depth of cut helps to improve the surface roughness. The effectiveness of the surface roughness prediction model has been proved by utilizing an analysis of variance (ANOVA) at 95% confident level. Hence, the surface roughness can be predicted and obtained easily referring to the developed surface roughness model.

This research presents the integration of the surface roughness and chip formation monitoring by using the cutting force and the cutting temperature during the in-process turning. The surface roughness prediction model is proposed by utilizing the response surface analysis with the Box-Behnken design. The effects of cutting parameters on the cutting force and the cutting temperature are investigated. The cutting force and the cutting temperature are measured to help analyze the relation between the surface roughness and the cutting conditions. The models of the cutting force ratio and the cutting temperature are also proposed based on the experimental data. The in-process monitoring of chip formation is developed to detect the continuous chip and the broken chip by utilizing the power spectrum density of dynamic cutting force and the variance of the dynamic cutting temperature.The broken chip formation is required for the reliable turning operation. The algorithm is proposed to obtain the broken chip by changing the cutting conditions during the cutting process based on the cutting force and the cutting temperature. It has been proved by series of cutting experiments that the proposed surface roughness model can be effectively used to predict the surface roughness, and the broken chip is well identified by the proposed method.

This paper presents the additional work of the previous research in order to verify the previously obtained cutting condition by using the different cutting tool geometries. The effects of the cutting conditions with the dry cutting are monitored to obtain the proper cutting condition for the plain carbon steel with the coated carbide tool based on the consideration of the surface roughness and the tool life. The dynamometer is employed and installed on the turret of CNC turning machine to measure the in-process cutting forces. The in-process cutting forces are used to analyze the cutting temperature, the tool wear and the surface roughness. The experimentally obtained results show that the surface roughness and the tool wear can be well explained by the in-process cutting forces. Referring to the criteria, the experimentally obtained proper cutting condition is the same with the previous research except the rake angle and the tool nose radius.

In tribology phenomenon, surface roughness has become one of the most important factors that contributed to the evaluation of part quality during machining operation. In order to understand the behavior of cryogenic cooling assistance in machining Inconel 718, this paper aims to provide better understanding of tribological characterization of liquid nitrogen near the cutting zone of this material in ball end milling process. Experiments were performed using a multi-layer TiAlN/AlCrN-coated carbide inserts under cryogenic and dry cutting condition. A transient milling simulation model using Third Wave Advantedge has been done in order to gain in-depth understanding of the thermomechanical aspects of machining and their influence on resulted part quality. The cryogenic results of the cutting temperature, cutting forces and surface roughness of the ball nose cutting tool have been compared with those of dry machining. Finally, experimental results proved that cryogenic implementation can  decrease the amount of heat transferred to the tool up to almost 70% and improve the surface roughness to a maximum of 31% when compared with dry machining. Furthermore, the microstructure of machined workpiece revealed that cryogenic cooling also can reduce a plastic deformation at the cutting surface as compared with the dry machining.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of cutting parameters on the surface roughness (Ra) when turning of alloy cast iron using uncoated carbide insert under dry cutting condition. The mathematical model for the surface roughness was developed by response surface methodology (RSM).Response surface contours were constructed and used for determining the optimum cutting conditions to reduce machining time without increasing the surface roughness.

Powder metallurgy (PM) nickel-based superalloy is regarded as one of the most important aerospace industry materials, which has been widely used in advanced turbo-engines. This work presents an orthogonal design experiments to study the cutting force and cutting temperature variations in the face milling of PM nickel-based superalloy with PVD coated carbide tools. Experimental results show that with the increase of feed rate and depth of cut, there is a growing tendency in cutting force, with the increase of cutting speed, cutting force decreases. Among the cutting parameters, feed rate has the greatest influence on cutting force, especially when cutting speed exceeds 60m/min. With the increase of all the cutting parameters, cutting temperature increases. However the cutting temperature increases slightly as the increasing of feed rate. Tool failure mechanisms in face milling of PM nickel-based superalloy are analyzed. It is shown that the breakage and spalling on the cutting edge are the most dominate failure mechanisms, which dominates the deterioration and final failure of the coated carbide tools.
