Tungsten Carbide have extremely high hardness and wear-resistivity compared with conventional steel materials, and it is expected that the Tungsten carbide can be applied widely to dies and molds in the near future. In order to develop an efficient machining method of Tungsten Carbide for the dies and molds, series of cutting experiments were carried out to turn the sintered Tungsten Carbide materials with CBN tool. The selected sintered Tungsten Carbide workpieces are those containing Tungsten Carbide grains with mean grain size of 5μm, and 15wt%, 20wt% and 22wt% of Cobalt binder. The sintered CBN tool selected contains super-fine grains of CBN with mean grain size of 1μm. The cutting speed was varied from 10m/min to 60m/min, and the tool wear and the surface roughness were measured. It is concluded that the tool wear is less when cutting the sintered Tungsten Carbide containing larger amount of Cobalt binder. The surface roughness of about 2μm in Rz is obtained.

Sintered Tungsten

Sintered tungsten carbide which has high hardness and high heat resistance, has been widely used in molds and dies. Research on the development of a cutting technology for sintered tungsten carbide (sintered WC-Co alloy) has been pursued mainly with the use of a turning process. We focused on building an efficient milling method for sintered tungsten carbide by using diamond-coated ball end tools, and have investigated their basic properties under specific cutting conditions. This study extends our previous work by enhancing cutting distance in the milling of sintered tungsten carbide, especially that with a “fine” WC grain. The surface roughness of cut workpieces is evaluated from the point of view of the quality of surface roughness. A series of cutting experiments under different cutting conditions were carried out, and the possibility of deriving a suitable cutting condition for the ball end milling of sintered tungsten carbide is discussed.

The Relationship

The aim of this work is to analyze the tool wear effects on surface finish of machined components. Long-term machinability tests were performed for ASTM 1040 and 1045 carbon steels with carbide tools, in which tool wear and surface roughness were periodically evaluated. Surface finish was analyzed as a function of processed material and cutting speed with new machining tool, and a significant influence was found for cutting speed at a confidence interval of 10%. When evaluated as a function of time and tool wear, surface roughness showed an exponential relationship with both variables. However, a high dispersion occurs close to the end of tool life, especially for AISI 1040 steel. Weak influence of cutting speed (for the range of speeds tested) was observed on the relationship between tool wear and surface finish, indicating that a single equation can describe its behavior for all studied conditions. The relationship between the surface roughness and the cutting time was found to be stronger for the ABNT 1040 steel.

Abstract Although Inconel 718 is an important material for modern aircraft and aerospace, it is a kind material, which is known to have low machinability. Especially, while these types of materials are machined, high cutting temperatures, BUE on cutting tool, high cutting forces and work hardening occur. Therefore, in recent years, instead of producing new cutting tools that can withstand these difficult conditions, cryogenic process, which is a heat treatment method to increase the wear resistance and hardness of the cutting tool, has been applied. In this experimental study, feed force, surface roughness, vibration, cutting tool wear, hardness and abrasive wear values that occurred as a result of milling of Inconel 718 material by means of cryogenically treated and untreated cutting tools were investigated. Three different cutting speeds (35-45-55 m/min) and three different feed rates (0.02-0.03-0.04 mm/tooth) at constant depth of cut (0.2 mm) were used as cutting parameters in the experiments. As a result of the experiments, lower feed forces, surface roughness, vibration and cutting tool wear were obtained with cryogenically treated cutting tools. As the feed rate and cutting speed were increased, it was seen that surface roughness, vibration and feed force values increased. At the end of the experiments, it was established that there was a significant relation between vibration and surface roughness. However, there appeared an inverse proportion between abrasive wear and hardness values. While BUE did not occur during cryogenically treated cutting tools, it was observed that BUE occurred in cutting tools which were not cryogenically treated.

The present research attempts to develop a hybrid coolant by mixing alumina nanoparticles with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) into ethylene glycol-water (60:40) and investigate the viability of formulated hybrid nanocoolant (CNC-Al2O3-EG-Water) towards enhancing the machining behavior. The two-step method has been adapted to develop the hybrid nanocoolant at various volume concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 0.9%). Results indicated a significant enhancement in thermal properties and tribological behaviour of the developed hybrid coolant. The thermal conductivity improved by 20-25% compared to the metal working fluid (MWF) with thermal conductivity of 0.55 W/m℃. Besides, a reduction in wear and friction coefficient was observed with the escalation in the nanoparticle concentration. The machining performance of the developed hybrid coolant was evaluated using Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) in the turning of mild steel. A regression model was developed to assess the deviations in the tool flank wear and surface roughness in terms of feed, cutting speed, depth of the cut, and nanoparticle concentration using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The mathematical modeling shows that cutting speed has the most significant impact on surface roughness and tool wear, followed by feed rate. The depth of cut does not affect surface roughness or tool wear. Surface roughness achieved 24% reduction, 39% enhancement in tool length of cut, and 33.33% improvement in tool life span. From this, the surface roughness was primarily affected by spindle cutting speed, feed rate, and then cutting depth while utilising either conventional water or composite nanofluid as a coolant. The developed hybrid coolant manifestly improved the machining behaviour.

In recent years, most of nickel-based materials have been used in aircraft engines. Nickel-based materials applied in the aerospace industry are used in a wide range of applications because of their strength and rigidity at high temperature. However, the high temperatures and high strength caused by the nickel-based materials during cutting also reduce the tool lifetime. This research aims to investigate the tool wear and the surface roughness of Waspaloy during cutting with various cutting speeds, feed per tooth, cutting depth, and other cutting parameters. Then, it derives the formula for the tool lifetime based on the experimental results and explores the impacts of these cutting parameters on the cutting of Waspaloy. Since the impacts of cutting speed on the cutting of Waspaloy are most significant in accordance with the experimental results, the high-speed cutting is not recommended. In addition, the actual surface roughness of Waspaloy is worse than the theoretical surface roughness in case of more tool wear. Finally, a set of mathematical models can be established based on these results, in order to predict the surface roughness of Waspaloy cut with a worn tool. The errors between the predictive values and the actual values are 5.122%∼8.646%. If the surface roughness is within the tolerance, the model can be used to predict the residual tool lifetime before the tool is damaged completely. The errors between the predictive values and the actual values are 8.014%∼20.479%.

The purpose of this research is to find the effects of cutting speed on the performance of the ZTA ceramic cutting tool. Three types of ZTA tools used in this study which are ZTA-MgO(micro), ZTA-MgO(nano) and ZTA-MgO-CeO2. Each of them were fabricated by wet mixing the materials, then dried at 100°C before crushed into powder. The powder was pressed into rhombic shape and sintered at 1600°C at 4 hours soaking time to yield dense body. To study the effect of the cutting speed on fabricated tool, machining was performed on the stainless steel 316L at 1500 to 2000 rpm cutting speed. Surface roughness of workpiece was measured and the tool wears were analysed by using optical microscope and Matlab programming where two types of wear measured i.e. nose wear and crater wear. Result shows that by increasing the cutting speed, the nose wear and crater wear increased due to high abrasion. However, surface roughness decreased due to temperature rise causing easier chip formation leaving a good quality surface although the tool wear is increased.

This article presents a comprehensive analysis of surface characteristics and drilling performance of uncoated and coated tungsten carbide drills. The single- and double-layer coatings of TiN, TiAlN and AlCrN were examined in terms of surface roughness, microhardness and crack resistance. In addition, drilling torque and thrust force were experimentally measured and compared to the developed models based on the drilling mechanics and drill geometries. Tool wear and hole surface roughness were also considered to assess the machining performance of different coated tools. The results revealed that all coated drills can offer better cut surface quality, 28% lower cutting loads and longer tool life than the uncoated drills. Although AlCrN was found to be the hardest coating material among the others, it caused large wear on the cutting edges and poor surface roughness of produced holes. The lowest torque and thrust force were achievable using TiN-coated drill, while the use of TiAlN coating resulted in the lowest surface roughness and smallest tool wear. Furthermore, the drilling torque and thrust force model developed in this study were found to correspond to the experimental measures with the average error of 8.4%. The findings of this work could facilitate the selection of coating materials to advance the machining performance.

Laser Assisted Machining

In laser-assisted machining (LAM), the laser source is focused on the workpiece as a thermal source and locally increases the workpiece temperature and makes the material soft ahead of the cutting tool so using this method, the machining forces are reduced, which causes improving the surface quality and cutting tool life. Machinability of advanced hard materials is significantly low and conventional methods do not work effectively. Therefore, utilizing an advanced method is inevitable. The product life and performance of complex parts of the leading industry depends on surface integrity. In this work, the surface integrity features including microhardness, grain size and surface roughness (Ra) and also the maximum cutting temperature were investigated experimentally in LAM of Ti-6Al-4V. According to the results, cutting speed has inverse effect on the effectiveness of LAM process because with increasing speed (15 to 63 m/min), temperature decreases (524 °C to 359 °C) and surface roughness increases (0.57 to 0.71 μm). Enhancing depth of cut and feed has direct effect on the process temperature, grain size, microhardness and surface roughness.
