Ultrasonic machining can be applied for the machining of difficult-to-cut materials using ultrasonical oscillation in an axial direction on top of tool rotation, which can cause reduction of cutting temperature and tool wear. In this study, the experiments were performed on a DMG ULTRASONIC 20 linear machine tool using diamond tools in both conventional and ultrasonic vibration assisted machining. The machining performance was evaluated and compared for both cases in terms of cutting forces, machined surface roughness and tool wear. And the combination technique of 3D surface topography measurement and image processing was applied for the tool wear progress. Overall, the experimental results showed that ultrasonic machining had less tool wear and lower cutting forces at low cutting speed compared to conventional machining. Also surface roughness was slightly lower in ultrasonic machining than that without ultrasonic vibration.

This work is motivated by environmentally conscious machining and focus on the basic properties and applicability of nano cutting fluids in machining. Cutting fluids are formulated by dispersing carbon nanotubes (CNT) in coconut oil (CC) with varying percentage of nanoparticle inclusions (NPI). The properties such as density, heat transfer coefficient, dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity are determined before their application. The formulated nanofluids are applied during machining through minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique. Microbial contamination and biodegradability tests are conducted to assess the quality of nanocutting fluids. Viscosity is found to decrease with increase in temperature where, as specific heat slightly decreased with an increase in NPI for CNT dispersed fluids. It is observed that nanofluids in MQL upshot in the reduction of cutting force, cutting temperature, tool wear and surface roughness. CNT dispersed cutting fluids at 0.5% NPI and speed of 60 m/min, 0.131 mm/rev feed and 0.5 mm depth of cut (DOC) shown better performance in the selected range of parameters. Machining performance is more influenced by the percentage of nanoparticles and then the depth of cut, speed and feed respectively. For the cutting conditions, the influence of DOC in obtaining minimum cutting forces and reducing cutting temperatures is found to be 85% and 45% respectively for nBA dispersed fluids. The extent of influence of %NPI is found to be 35.19% for CNT dispersed fluids to obtain reduced cutting forces, cutting temperatures, tool wear and surface roughness according to GRA analysis. Microbial contamination is observed to be the least for 0.5% NPI dispersed fluids. It is also identified that nano cutting fluids used in this work are biodegradable and biologically treatable for disposal as well.

Abstract Machining of CFRP composites is a process frequently accompanied with adverse effects on machined surface. The geometry of the cutting tool, linked primarily to influencing the cutting mechanism, could largely influence the induced damage. An optimum combination of tool material and geometry could improve the cut quality and prolong the tool life. This article investigates the effect of using tools having different rake angles in an ultrasonic-assisted edge trimming operation when cutting multidirectional CFRP laminates. A full-factorial experimental design was adopted to analyse the effect of parameters typically cutting speed, feed rate, rake angle, amplitude, and their interactions on machining performance indicators captured which were the cutting forces, tool wear, chip temperature, and surface roughness. The results showed that UAM mode contributed to the increase in cutting forces, tool wear, and chip temperature compared to conventional mode. On the other hand, UAM mode improved the quality of the machined surface. Additionally, the ultrasonic mode enhances the material removal mechanism using a tool with a negative rake angle.

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.

Geometric features of the segmented chip have been investigated along with the volume of material removed at a cutting speed at which tool wear is characterized by the gradual development of flank wear when cutting Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The chip geometric variables varied with an increase in the volume of material removed as the combined effect of change in tool’s geometry and increase in cutting temperature. Plastic deformation dimples were observed as periodical regions on the machined surface, a row on each undeformed surface and region on the top of the slipping surface of the segmented chip when cutting with new tool; these dimples on the undeformed surface and machined surface are elongated in the direction of chip flow. All these dimples became less with an increase in the volume of material removed and almost disappeared when the chip was removed with the worn tool at the end of its life. A model of segmented chip formation process has been proposed to satisfactorily explain the formation of the plastic deformation dimples on the undeformed surface and machined surface of the segmented chip produced with a new cutting tool and the transition of chip geometry with the evolution of tool wear.

The aim of this paper is to present an experimental investigation of the cutting forces, surface quality, tool wear and chip shape in ultrasonic vibration assisted turning (UAT) of 304 austenitic stainless steel (ASS 304) in comparison to conventional turning (CT). This study focuses on the solution of the machining difficulties of ASS 304 and high demands for the processing quality and efficiency. The machining system of UAT is schemed out to assure the desired machining effect by utilizing ultrasonic vibration method. Meanwhile, a series of systematic experiments are performed with and without ultrasonic vibration using the designed machining system of UAT with cemented carbide coated cutting tool. The results obtained from the UAT and CT experiments demonstrate that the cutting effect of UAT is much better than that of CT. Furthermore, the results of this research indicate that the ultrasonic amplitude, cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut in UAT of ASS 304 have visible influence on the cutting forces, surface quality and tool wear. And reasonable selection of various technological variables in UAT can obtain lower cutting forces, more superior surface roughness, advantageous surface topography, slow and less tool wear, thin and smooth chips.

In this study, hard turning GCr15 bearing steel with high cutting speed is experimental investigated the influence of the CB7015WH insert with chamfer edge and Safe-Lock and the CB7015 insert with a combination of hone radius and a chamfer edge on cutting forces and surface roughness of machined surface. Experimental results show that the cutting forces of the chamfer edge and Safe-Lock is smaller than that of the combination of hone radius and a chamfer edge. Moreover, surface roughness of machined surface with the CB7015WH insert is better. A coupled thermo-mechanical 2D finite element model with general finite element analysis software Deform 2D.8.1 is developed for the influence of two kinds of inserts on cutting forces and effective stress. The simulation results are compared with experimental data and found to be in good agreement.

Aluminum and its alloys have numerous applications in manufacturing, aerospace, and automotive industries. At elevated temperatures, they start to fail in fulfilling their roles and functions. Aluminum-based metal matrix composites (MMCs) are good alternatives for metal and alloys due to their excellent properties. However, the conventional machining of several composites shows complications for a number of reasons, such as high tool wear, poor surface roughness, high machining cost, cutting forces, etc. Numerous studies have already been conducted on the machinability of various MMCs, but the machinability of Al–Si–TiB2 composite is still not well studied. It is of utmost importance that several process parameters of conventional machining are precisely controlled as well as optimized. In this study an effort was made to optimize input parameters such as cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed to obtain well-finished final components with the minimum cutting force and tool wear. These progressions are involved with multiple response characteristics, therefore the exploration of an appropriate multi-objective optimization technique was indeed essential. The performance characteristics of cutting forces and surface roughness were considered for optimization of the machining parameters. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed for the optimization and statistical analysis.

Ultrasonic vibration assisted turning has significant improvements in processing of intractable materials compared to conventional turning. This paper presents a theoretical investigation of tool wear in single point diamond turning of ferrous metals based on numerical simulation. Finite element modeling and simulation of ultrasonic vibration turning process were performed, aimed at optimizing a series of technological parameters in the process of machining, reducing tool wear and improving surface quality as much as possible. The results revealed that the cutting speed and depth of cut are two crucial factors for tool wear, unlike the other parameters of vibration frequency, amplitude and flank angle. Moreover, this technological measure has observably decreased the cutting force and cutting temperature, so as to obtain superior surface finish.

Abstract This paper investigates the effects of tool wear on the machined surface integrity characteristics, including the surface roughness, surface topography, residual stress, microhardness and microstructure, during ball-end milling of Inconel 718. Tool wear, tool lifetime, and cutting force are measured. In addition, a two-dimensional finite element-based model is developed to investigate the cutting temperature distribution in the chip–tool–workpiece contact area. Results show that the ball nose end mill achieves tool lifetime of approximately 350 min. The cutting forces increase sharply with a greater tool flank wear width, while the highest cutting temperature has a decreasing tend at a flank wear width of 0.3 mm. Higher tool flank wear width produces larger surface roughness and deteriorative surface topography. A high-amplitude (approximately −700 MPa) and deep layer (approximately 120 mm) of compressive residual stress are induced by a worn tool with 0.3 mm flank wear width. The surface microhardness induced by new tool is larger than that induced by worn tool. Plastic deformation and strain streamlines are observed within 10 mm depth beneath the surface. The results in this paper provide an optimal tool wear criterion which integrates the surface integrity requirements and the tool lifetime for ball-end finish milling of Inconel 718.
