Metal cutting indicates a specific category of processes in which unwanted material is removed from workpeice by single- or multi-point cutting tools for making products meeting prescribed specifications. Parameter optimization in metal cutting plays an important role in satisfying quality requirements of machined parts at low production cost or time. It requires optimal selection of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and the number of passes. A brief review of recent progress on the optimization of cutting parameters is introduced in the present work. Some new machining practices expending in recent years are involved including hard turning, dry cutting, high speed machining, machining of difficult-to-machine materials and composites. Modeling skills for creating optimization models and optimization techniques for solving optimal or near-optimal solutions are summarized and analyzed.

In this study, milling operations were carried out using AISI 1040 specimens steel in dry cutting conditions. The cutting tools used in the experiment include P20 tool steel and they also have three different approach angles (45°, 60°, 75°) and rake angles (0°, −6°, −12°). In milling experiments, cutting parameters with a depth of cut of 1.5 mm, cutting speed of 193 m/min, and feed rate of 313 mm/min were selected. A comparison was presented between the force values which were obtained by measured value and predicted with numerical simulations, and then a good agreement was found between measured and predicted force values. As result of, it was observed that the rake and approach angles were effective in milling operations.

Previous research into the cutting mechanics of bone sawing has been primarily approached from the perspective of orthogonal metal machining with a single edge cutting tool. This was a natural progression from the larger body of knowledge on the mechanics of metal cutting. However, there are significant differences between typical orthogonal metal cutting parameters and those encountered in bone sawing, such as anisotropic material behavior, depth of cut on the order of cutting edge radius, chip formation mechanism in the context of a saw blade kerf, non-orthogonal considerations of set saw blade teeth, and cutting speed to name a few. In the present study, an attempt is made to overcome these shortcomings by employing a unique sawing fixture, developed to establish cutting speeds equivalent to those of typical sagittal saws used in orthopaedic procedures. The apparatus was developed for research into bone sawing mechanics and is not intended to be a commercial sawing machine. The sawing fixture incorporates the cutting speed possible with lathe operations, as well as the linear cutting capabilities of a milling machine. Depths of cut are on the same order of magnitude as the cutting edge radius typical to saw blade teeth. Initial measurements of cutting and thrust force, obtained with this new experimental equipment, are compared to previous work.

In the machining of metal cutting, cutting tools are the main things that must be considered. Using improper cutting parameters can cause damage to the cutting tool. The damage is Built-Up Edge (BUE). The situation is undesirable in the metal cutting process because it can interfere with machining, and the surface roughness value of the workpiece becomes higher. This study aimed to determine the effect of cutting speed on BUE that occurred and the cutting strength caused. Five cutting speed variants are used. Observation of the BUE process is done visually, whereas to determine the size of BUE using a digital microscope. If a cutting tool occurs BUE, then the cutting process is stopped, and measurements are made. This study uses variations in cutting speed consisting of cutting speed 141, 142, 148, 157, 163, and 169 m/min, and depth of cut 0.4 mm. From the results of the study were obtained that the biggest feeding force is at cutting speed 141 m/min at 347 N, and the largest cutting force value is 239 N with the dimension of BUE length: 1.56 mm, width: 1.35 mm, high: 0.56mm.

Three cutting tools of different materials (ceramics CC6050, cubic boron nitride CB7025, carbide GC2025) are used for dry turning of 9 groups of ADI which heat-treated under different quenching time and quenching temperature. The surface roughness of ADI workpieces were tested after the finish turning at changed cutting parameters, and the influencing factors of surface quality were analysed. Results showed that the surface roughness values of all 9 groups of ADI workpieces obtained by CC6050 were the lowest and the surface quality was better at lower depth of cut ap and feed rate f with higher cutting speed vc . Meanwhile, the surface roughness was influenced by the isothermal quenching parameters of ADI workpieces significantly.

Machining operations of thin-walled elements generate a lot of production process issues related to deformations and elastic and plastic displacements of the workpiece. Due to displacements of the milled workpiece, vibrations can occur, and thus, geometric errors may occur on surface in the structure of the workpiece. Furthermore, plastic deformation can also cause shape problems and be a source of internal stresses in the surface layer, which are highly difficult to remove and lead to deformation of the workpiece after machining. Consequently, this leads to an increase in the manufacturing costs of machining operations, especially of thin-walled elements, due to shortages and increased manufacturing time. It is recommended that multiple methods for minimizing machining errors be utilized to improve the quality of thin walled elements, such as: optimization of the machining strategy, increase of the cutting speed vc, optimization of cutting parameters, especially feed per blade fz, the radial depth of cut ae due to the minimization of the cutting force component perpendicular to the surface of the milled wall.

In the field of mechanical engineering, engineers are always looking for ways to improve the properties of materials. Cryogenic treatment of tooling steels is a proven technology to increase wear resistance and extend intervals between component replacements. The main idea of this paper is to apply Taguchi method to optimize cutting parameters in turning operation using cryogenic treated (CT) and untreated (UT) high speed steel (HSS) tools, so that the scope of cryogenic treatment on HSS tool material may be presented for the benefit of medium and small scale industry using HSS tools for cutting operation. Taguchi L25 orthogonal array is employed to study the performance characteristics in turning operations of AISI 1020 steel bars using CT and UT HSS tools. The microstructure has been found more refined and uniformly distributed after cryogenic treatment of HSS tool. It has been observed that optimum machining parameters in both the cases (CT HSS and UT HSS tools) are higher cutting speed (49.9 to 75.7 m/min.), lower feed rate (0.15 mm/rev.), medium depth of cut (0.40 mm). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicates that the cutting speed is most significant parameter followed by feed rate in case of CT HSS tool and depth of cut in case of UT HSS tool.

Abstract Non-reinforced and reinforced Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) plastics have excellent mechanical and thermal properties. Machining is an efficient process that can be used to manufacture specific mechanical parts made from PEEK composites. Researchers have focused on improving the performance of machining operations with the aim of minimizing costs and improving quality of manufactured products, in order to get the best surface roughness and the minimum cutting force. The parameters evaluated are the cutting speed, the depth of cut and the feed rate. In this paper, the effect of the mentioned parameters on surface roughness and cutting force, in dry turning of reinforced PEEK with 30% of carbon fibers (PEEK CF30) using TiN coated cutting tools, is analyzed through using robust design techniques such as Taguchi's design method, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and statistical analysis tools such as Pareto-ANOVA. The obtained results have shown that Taguchi method and Pareto ANOVA are suitable for optimizing the cutting parameters with the minimum possible number of experiments, and the optimized process parameters were determined for surface roughness and cutting force criteria.

The measurement method and apparatus of cutting force by high speed milling is introduced. The high speed milling force of wrought aluminum alloy is measured and analyzed through separately examining the influences of various factors, such as cutting speed, cutting depth, milling width, feed per cutting tooth, down or up milling, cooling and lubricating. The results match with outcomes from other’s tests and the theory of metal cutting, and are close to the calculated force values, so that the test can be regarded as positive. It is pointed out that high cutting speed, little cutting depth, properly great working engagement and feed per tooth, high feed rate, down milling and efficient cooling and lubricating should be used to reduce cutting force and deformation, to improve milling accuracy and efficiency, which can be helpful to the spread applications of High Speed Machining.

Abstract: In the process of metal cutting, cutting tools is an important factor to consider. Selection of cutting parameters and cutting tools geometry contributes to the surface condition of the resulting workpiece, especially surface roughness. The nose radius of cutting tools is a piece that rubs against the workpiece that will form a scratch to produce a flake. Various types of cutting tools angles today are developed and certainly give effect to changes in surface roughness of the workpiece and topography. To know the condition of surface workpiece produced, then conducted research influence variation tool nose radius cutting tools to roughness and topography surface workpiece. This research was conducted using CNC lathe. Three variations of end of carbide insert tip used i.e. 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 mm are installed. Right on tool holder cutting tools. The cutting speed used is 500 m / min, depth of cut 0.2 mm, and feeding of 0.3 mm / put. Material workpiece aluminum alloy type 6061 turning without using coolant. The workpiece of the lathe result is measurement of surface roughness by using Mitutoyo surface test, and observation of workpiece surface condition done by Jenco digital microscope model BC 4-311. The result of the analysis shows that the surface roughness value is inversely proportional to the increase of nose radius cutting tools tool. The larger the nose radius cutting tools, the smaller the surface roughness. The lowest roughness value is 1.046 μm with cutting speed of 500 m / min and 1.2 mm tool nose radius cutting tools. The percentage decrease in surface roughness with the difference of nose radius cutting tools tool is 12.24%.
