Special Control

The machining process of titanium alloys always need special control by using coolant and lubricant as it is one of the difficult-to-cut materials. The cutting experiments are carried out based on green cooling and lubricating technology. To achieve green cutting of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with water vapor cooling and lubricating, a minitype generator is developed. Compared to dry and wet cutting, the using of water vapor decreases the cutting force and the cutting temperature respectively; enhances the machined surface. And it can help to chip forming and breaking. Water vapor application also improves Ti-6Al-4V machinability. The excellent cooling and lubricating action of water vapor could be summarized that water molecule has polarity, small diameter and high speed, can be easily and rapidly to proceed adsorption in the cutting zone. The results indicate that the using of water vapor has the potential to attain the green cutting of titanium alloy.

Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) or as it’s called semi dry cutting is a technique which spray a small value of lubricant flow rate to the cutting zone area. MQL has been used in many machining process with different cutting tools and workpiece materials due to its green environments and economically advantageous. MQL has become an attractive option to dry and flood cutting in terms of reduce the temperature in the cutting zone and reduce the cost of the product. However, in MQL seems to be machining limited by cutting temperature, because at high speed the effect of oil mist becomes evaporated. Therefore another alternative cooling approach was used with oil mist in this research. This research presents study the performance of nitrogen gas as a coolant and oil mist as lubricant in turning of hardened stainless tool steel (STAVAX ESR) with hardness 48 HRC. Using a gas as coolant with oil mist is a new solution for enhancing machinability. Turning experiments are carried out on CNC turning machine. The cutting insert grade is KC5010 (PVD-TiAlN wiper coated carbide). The experimental results were: 1) nitrogen gas with oil mist prolongs tool life compare with air with oil mist. 2) better product surface finish by using nitrogen gas with oil mist.

Mechanical and chemical properties of titanium alloy have led to its wide range of applications in aerospace and biomedical industries. The heat generation and its transfer from the cutting zone are critical in machining of titanium alloys. The process of transferring heat from the primary cutting zone is difficult due to poor thermal conductivity of titanium alloy, and it will lead to rapid tool wear and poor surface finish. An effective tool monitoring system is essential to predict such variations during machining process. In this study, using a high-speed precision mill, experiments are conducted under optimum cutting conditions with an objective of maximizing the life of tungsten carbide tool. Tool wear profile is established and tool conditions are arrived on the basis of the surface roughness. Acoustic emission (AE) signals are captured using an AE sensor during machining of titanium alloy. Statistical features are extracted in time and frequency domain. Features that contain rich information about the tool conditions are selected using J48 decision tree (DT) algorithm. Tool condition classification abilities of DT and support vector machines are studied in time and frequency domains.

The purpose of this study is to clarify the possibility of the turning in high speed (vc＞50m/min)[1]. In particular, the effects of the overheat water vapor with 130°C as cooling lubricant application were examined, through observation and measurement of the shape of the generated chips, machined surface integrity, cutting force and cutting temperature in a series of experiments with dry cutting or overheat water vapor with 130°C as cooling lubricant. As a result of these experiments, it was possible to measure and confirm the effects of the overheat water vapor with 130°C as cooling lubricant in high speed turning.

Analysis of the cutting process in machining of advanced alloys, which are typically difficult-to-machine materials, is a challenge that needs to be addressed. In a machining operation, cutting forces causes severe deformations in the proximity of the cutting edge, producing high stresses, strain, strain-rates and temperatures in the workpiece that ultimately affect the quality of the machined surface. In the present work, cutting forces generated in a vibro-impact and hot vibro-impact machining process of Ti-based alloy, using an in-house Ultrasonically Assisted Turning (UAT) setup, are studied. A three-dimensional, thermo-mechanically coupled, finite element model was developed to study the thermal and mechanical processes in the cutting zone for the various machining processes. Several advantages of ultrasonically assisted turning and hot ultrasonically assisted turning are demonstrated when compared to conventional turning.

New Generation

Titanium alloy Ti-5Al-5V-3Cr-0.5Fe (Ti-5553) is a new generation of near-beta titanium alloy that is commonly used in the aerospace industry. Machining is one of the manufacturing methods to produce parts that are made of this near-beta alloy. This study presents the machining performance of new generation near-beta alloys, namely, Ti-5553, by focusing on a high-speed cutting process under cryogenic cooling conditions and dry machining. The machining experiments were conducted under a wide range of cutting speeds, including high speeds that used liquid nitrogen (LN2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) as cryogenic coolants. The experimental data on the cutting temperature, tool wear, force components, chip breakability, dimensional accuracy, and surface integrity characteristics are presented and were analyzed to evaluate the machining process of this alloy and resulting surface characteristics. This study shows that cryogenic machining improved the machining performance of the Ti-5553 alloy by substantially reducing the tool wear, cutting temperature, and dimensional deviation of the machined parts. The cryogenic machining also produced shorter chips as compared to dry machining.

Physical Phenomena

Cutting heat and cutting temperature are the most important physical phenomena in cutting machining process. Cutting temperature and its distribution affect the abrasion of cutting tool and the operating life directly. Meanwhile they can affect the machining precision and the machined surface quality. In this paper the ABAQUS finite element software is used to predict the thermal distribution and variable condition, moreover it is tested through the experiment. As is shown from the result, the changing trend of cutting temperature by the simulation is consistent with the real measured result, which has better precision and reliability and supplies the theoretical basis for the deformation analysis caused by cutting heat in the cutting machining process.
