The article deals with surface roughness characteristics of polyamide APA after the turning by tool with linear cutting edge. The experiment was centred on the obtaining of Ra and Rz dependences on both cutting speed and feed per revolution concurrently. Polyamide APA allows the production of very large structural and semi-structural parts for automotive and non-automotive applications including interior, exterior and under-the-hood applications. It also allows reducing the total cost of production, especially for lower volume parts. Therefore, the authors deals with the possibility to work this material. The special cutting tool was selected in regard to the author´s previous experiments. The surfaces of investigated metal samples, which were machined by the tool with linear cutting edge, achieved very good properties, so it was the reason for the using of this tool at the experiments presented in the article. Obtained values of surface roughness characteristics were worked up by means of regression analysis and according to the rules for statistical data processing. The results are arranged into the table and consequently into the graphical presentations. The shapes of chips at the machining within various working conditions are shown at the end of the article. Next experiments will be focused on the machining of other types materials with the same unconventional cutting tool and for the obtaining new data that characterize the machined surface.

Micro products or micro components are commonly used in today’s world. Research around micromanufacture technologies to produce a better product quality has been going on extensively. Ultrasonic vibration assisted micromilling (UVAM) is one of the technologies that can give a better machining qualities over the conventional ones. One of the benefits UVAM can give is reducing the machined surface roughness. The purpose of this paper is to give an idea how vibration assisted micromilling can give a better surface roughness quality. The theoritical surface roughness geometry model is made using MATLAB software. The cutting tool used in the simulation is end mill. There is a feature of the cutting tool called bottom cutting edge angle. This feature will be considered on this paper. The effects of the bottom cutting edge on workpiece machined surface can be looked visually from the simulation. Thus, the effects of cutting process using UVAM on the workpiece surface can be looked as well through the simulation.

The paper deals with the experiments realized by means of cutting tool with linear cutting edge not parallel with the axis of the workpiece in order to be observed the suitable values of surface roughness characteristics in dependency on the feed and cutting speed. During experiments were machined three types of steels. Acquired data were statistical processed by regression analysis. The results of the measurements show that the investigated cutting tool enables to secure the same values of surface profile characteristics of steels as a classical cutting tool at finishing with the significant increase of the feed per revolution. It directly influences length of the technological operation time which is several times shortened and so the machining productivity can increase.

The roughness of the machined surface is determined by the kinematics of chip removal, the shaping and the geometry of the cutting edge. The change of the surface roughness in cutting done under different conditions is easy to follow examining the theoretical value of roughness characteristics. This paper examines how the extent of the theoretical value of total height of profile depends on the different technological parameters in rotational turning. Furthermore the surface roughness and roughness profile is compared achievable by rotational turning and traditional longitudinal turning (in case of radius and pointed cutting tool).

Abstract The zirconia toughened alumina enhanced with titania and chromia (ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3) ceramic cutting tool is a new cutting tool that possesses good hardness and fracture toughness. However, the performance of the ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 cutting tool continues to remain unknown and therefore requires further study. In this research, the wearing of the ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 cutting tool and the surface roughness of the machined surface of stainless steel 316L was investigated. The experiments were conducted where the cutting speeds range between 314 to 455 m/min, a feed rate from 0.1 to 0.15 mm/rev, and a depth of cut of 0.2 mm. A CNC lathe machine was utilised to conduct the turning operation for the experiment. Additionally, analysis of the flank wear and crater wear was undertaken using an optical microscope, while the chipping area was observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface roughness of the machined surface was measured via portable surface roughness. The lowest value of flank wear, crater wear and surface roughness obtained are 0.044 mm, 0.45 mm2, and 0.50 µm, respectively at the highest cutting speed of 455 m/min and the highest feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev. The chipping area became smaller with the increase of feed rate from 0.10 to 0.15 mm/rev and larger when the feed rate decrease. This was due to the reduced vibrations at the higher spindle speed resulting in a more stable cutting operation, thereby reducing the value of tool wear, surface roughness, and the chipping area.

This work investigated the influences of cutting speed and feed rate on surface roughness in hard turning of AISI 4140 chromium molybdenum steel bar using mixed ceramic inserts Al2O3+TiC under dry condition for automotive industry applications. Turning experiments were conducted by varying cutting speed ranging from 150 to 220 m/min and feed rate ranging from 0.06 to 1 mm/rev. General factorial design was used to analyze the data set of surface roughness and determine statistically significant process factors based on analysis of variance results. The results showed that average surface roughness was significantly affected by feed rate and interaction between cutting speed and feed rate at the level of significance of 0.05. An optimal operating condition for hard turning of AISI 4140 with the ceramic cutting tool that produced a minimum machined surface roughness was obtained at cutting speed of 220 m/min and 0.06 mm/rev.

The great advancement in the development of carbide cutting tool with super-hard coating layers taken place in recent few decades, can improve the performance of cutting tool and machinability of titanium alloy. The turning parameters evaluated are cutting speed (55, 75, 95 m/min), feed rate (0.15, 0.25, 0.35 mm/rev), depth of cut (0.10, 0.15, 0.20 mm) and tool grade of PVD carbide tool. The results that tool life shows patterns of rapidly increase at the initial stage and gradually increased at the second stage and extremely increased at the final stage. The trend lines of surface roughness have are the surface roughness value is high at first machining after that regularly decreases. Work hardening of the deformed layer beneath machined surface caused higher hardness than the average hardness of the base material. However, the softening effect also occurred below the machined surface. Segmentation or serration at the chip edge was caused by high strain and pressure during machining.

MMCs components are mostly produced using near net shape manufacturing methods and are subsequently machined to the final dimensions and surface finishes. The MMCs consist of extremely hard reinforcing particles and pose considerable challenges due to the poor machinability and severe wear of the cutting tool. In this study, cutting performance of WC, CBN and PCD cutting tools were investigated with respect to surface roughness during machining of 10 wt % SiCp reinforced Al-Si alloy matrix composites produced by powder metallurgy (PM) method. Average surface roughness (Ra) corresponding to each machining condition was measured. After the machining process the worn insert tips were examined under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Chip geometry and machined surface photographs have been taken by optical microscopy. The experimental results showed that surface roughness decreased with increasing cutting speed for all of cutting tool materials. The best surface integrity was occurred after the machining with PCD insert at the highest cutting speed employed.

Gear milling is one of the common gear manufacturing processes. In gear milling, the cutting edge of the cutting tool has an identical profile with the profile between gear teeth, and the cutting tool travels along the axial direction of the gear blank to produce the gear tooth by tooth. Due to the high requirements about the dimensional accuracy and the surface roughness during the gear manufacturing process, it is very crucial to understand the influences of cutting conditions on those requirements to improve the quality of the product and increase the production rate. In this study, a machined gear blank made from 1018 cold-rolled steel was subjected to variable speed and feed-rates in a traditional milling operation using a standard gear-milling cutter. The effect of the variable speed and feed-rates were analyzed by measuring the total lead (helix) error, total profile (involute) error, and surface finish of each gear tooth subjected to the variable cutting conditions. The objective is to experimentally investigate the correlation between the cutting conditions, i.e. cutting speed and feed, with the accuracy and quality of the machined surface during the gear milling process.

The aim of the work is find out influence of feed rate on the quality for the machined surface, especially surface roughness. The experiment was carried out by cutting tool HURCO VMXt30 with respect to the following cutting parameter: cutting speed 250; 350; 450; 550 and 850 m.min-1, feed 0,1; 0,5 and 1,0 mm/tooth. For testing was used two most common materials in the steel grade 1.1191 (12 050) and 1.2343 (19 552), and we chose two ordinary parameters of surface roughness; Ra - arithmetical mean roughness deviation and Rz - the largest inequalities height profile in the transverse direction and the longitudinal direction of machining. The structural equations will be the result which can describe the character depending on the cut surface parameters.
