In the present study, an attempt has been made to experimentally investigate the effects of the cutting parameters on cutting forces in hard milling of AISI H13 steel with coated carbide tools. Designed based on Taguchi method, four factor (cutting speed, feed, radial depth of cut and axial depth of cut) four level orthogonal experiments were conducted. Three components of cutting forces were measured during hard milling experiments and then variance analysis was performed. Finally, the linear regression model was established.

In the present research, an attempt has been made to experimentally investigate the cutting forces in hard milling of H13 steel with coated carbide tools under dry, MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) and MQCL (minimum quantity cooling lubrication) cutting conditions. Based on Taguchis method, four-factor (cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut) four-level orthogonal experiments were employed. It is found that the periodical fluctuation of the cutting forces caused by the variation of the undeformed chip thickness with the entry/exit of the cutting edge is an essential feature of the hard milling process. The empirical models for cutting forces are established, and ANOVA (analysis of variance) indicates that the quadratic models can well express the relationship between cutting forces and cutting parameters.

Surface roughness has a significant effect on the performance of machined components. In the present study, a total of 49 end milling experiments on AISI H13 steel are conducted. Based on the experimental results, the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio is employed to study the effects of cutting parameters (axial depth of cut, cutting speed, feed per tooth and radial depth of cut) on surface roughness. An ANN predicting model for surface roughness versus cutting parameters is developed based on the experimental results. The testing results show that the proposed model can be used as a satisfactory prediction for surface roughness.

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.

In this paper, Taguchi method was applied to design the cutting experiments when end milling Inconel 718 with the TiAlN-TiN coated carbide inserts. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio are employed to study the effects of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut) on surface roughness, and the optimal combination of the cutting parameters for the desired surface roughness is obtained. An exponential regression model for the surface roughness is formulated based on the experimental results. Finally, the verification tests show that surface roughness generated by the optimal cutting parameters is really the minimum value, and there is a good agreement between the predictive results and experimental measurements.

In metal cutting, surface roughness plays an important role in assessing the quality of processed products. The roughness depends greatly on the selection of machining parameters such as cooling conditions and cutting parameters. For this purpose, cooling conditions including dry, MQL, and Silica-based nanofluid MQL as well as cutting parameters including cutting speed, depth-of-cut and feed-rate were investigated to determine their influence on machining roughness during hard milling of AISI H13 steel. The DOE method developed by G. Taguchi was used to design the experiments. An analysis of the signal-to-noise response and ANOVA were carried to obtain the optimal values of cutting parameters for minimizing surface roughness. The results of the present study show that Silica-based nanofluid MQL, minimum feed-rate, minimum depth-of-cut, and maximum cutting speed is an optimal cutting condition for reducing machining roughness.

In this paper, some experiments were conducted to investigate tool wear when end-milling Inconel 718 with the TiAlN-TiN PVD coated carbide inserts. The worn tools were examined thoroughly under scanning electron microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy and 3D digital microscope to expatiate tool wear morphologies and relevant mechanisms. The flank wear was uniformity in finishing milling process, and the average flank wear were selected as the criterion to study the effects of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut) on tool wear. Finally, the optimal combination of the cutting parameters for the desired tool life is obtained.

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.

Hardened steel P20 at 50 HRC is milled at high speed by TiN coated and TiAlN coated solid carbide straight end mills, and the cutting forces and tool wear are measured. The result shows that TiAlN coated tool is more suitable for cutting hardened steel at high speed. Then the hardened steel is milled under different cutting parameters. It is indicated that the effect of cutting speed on cutting forces is small, but the effect of cutting speed on machine vibration should be considered. Increase feed per tooth or radial depth of cut will increase the cutting forces.

Surface roughness plays a significant role in machining industry for proper planning of process system and optimizing the cutting conditions. In this paper, a back-propagation neural network (BPNN) model has been developed for the prediction of surface roughness in end milling process. A large number of milling experiments were conducted on Ti-6Al-4V alloy using the uncoated carbide tools. Four cutting parameters including cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut are used as the inputs to develop the BPNN model, while surface roughness corresponding to these combinations of different cutting parameters is the output of the neural network model. The performance of the trained BPNN model has been verified with the experimental results, and it is found that the BPNN predicted and the experimental values are very close to each other.
