Cutting Processes

Machining process usually involves relevant wear effects on the cutting tool, producing undesirable surface features on the work-pieces. Lubricants and cooling fluids are used with the aim to minimize the wear phenomena as well as high temperatures produced during the cutting processes. However, the use of these fluids may have an adverse environmental impact. For this reason, the reduction of quantity of cutting fluids used in the machining process is a requirement in order to improve the performance and sustainability of the process. For this purpose, this work proposes an increase of the lubricant retention ability for cutting tools based on surface modification. In this research, micro-geometrical features of Carbide (WC-Co) surfaces have been modified by laser texturing techniques. A wide range of roughness topographies had been developed by changing the laser irradiation parameters of energy density of pulse (Ed) and scanning speed of the beam (Vs). Different geometries of the textured tracks (single spots, linear tracks, circular tracks) also were studied. Moreover, through specific roughness features conducted by texturing process, the retention ability of cutting fluids was modified. It was evaluated by the contact angle between liquid and solid phases. This modification allowed to increase the self-lubricant effect of the WC-Co surface. This methodology has been validated on carbide tools under lubricated machining processes. Wear effects on the cutting tool were reduced and the surface finish of the machined parts was remained at least in the same ranges as non-modified tools.

The tool-wear of cutting tools has a very strong impact on the product quality as well as efficiency of the machining processes. Despite the nowadays high automation level in machining industry, tool -wear diagnostic that is measured of the machine tool, still prevent complete automation of the entire machining process. Therefore, its in line characterization is crucial. Thus the paper presents developed innovative, robust and reliable direct measuring procedure for measuring spatial cutting tool-wear in-line, with the usage of laser profile sensor. The technique provides possibility for determination of 3D wear profiles, as advantage to currently used 2D subjective techniques (microscopes, etc.). The use of proposed measurement system removes the subjective manual inspection and minimizes the time used for wear easurement. In the manuscript the system is experimentally tested on a case s tudy, with further in-depth performed analyses of spatial cutting tool-wear.

This research studied the influence of cutting fluids and cutting parameters on the surface roughness for stainless steel worked by turning machine in dry and wet cutting cases. The work was done with different cutting speeds, and feed rates with a fixed depth of cutting. During the machining process, heat was generated and effects of higher surface roughness of work material. In this study, the effects of some cutting fluids, and dry cutting on surface roughness have been examined in turning of AISI316 stainless steel material. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) instead of other soluble oils has been used and compared to dry machining processes. Experiments have been performed at four cutting speeds (60, 95, 155, 240) m/min, feed rates (0.065, 0.08, 0.096, 0.114) mm/rev. and constant depth of cut (0.5) mm. The amount of decrease in Ra after the used suggested mixture arrived at (0.21µm), while Ra exceeded (1µm) in case of soluble oils This means the suggested mixture gave the best results of lubricating properties than other cases.

In this paper, based on finite element simulation software AdvantEdge, the effects of different coating materials and thickness on the wear of cutting tools during the machining process have been studied. For the tools with coating materials of TiAlN, Al2O3, TiN, TiC, we can calculate the wear rate according to the Usui mathematical model of tool wear, and then consider thickness factor of TiC coating. Because of the lowest thermal conductivity, the workpiece cut by TiC coated tool will soften first and more over cutting time, it result in the lowest wear rate. And with the increase of coating thickness, the effect of "thermal barrier" is more obvious for the relatively thicker coating tool, but the relative sliding velocity between the chip and tool is increasing meanwhile, so a suitable coating thickness is necessary.

Cutting Operation

Metal-cutting process deals with the removal of material using the shearing operation with the help of hard cutting tools. Machining operations are famous in the manufacturing sector due to their capability to manufacture tight tolerances and high dimensional accuracy while simultaneously maintaining the cost-effectiveness for higher production levels. As metal-cutting processes consume a great amount of input resources and generate some material-based waste streams, these processes are highly criticized due to their high and negative environmental impacts. Researchers in the metal-cutting sector are currently exploring and benchmarking different activities and best practices to make the cutting operation environment friendly in nature. These eco-friendly practices mainly cover the wide range of activities directly or indirectly associated with the metal-cutting operation. Most of the literature for sustainable metal-cutting activities revolves around the sustainable lubrication techniques to minimize the negative influence of cutting fluids on the environment. However, there is a need to enlarge the assessment domain for the metal-cutting process and other directly and indirectly associated practices such as enhancing sustainability through innovative methods for workpiece and cutting tool materials, and approaches to optimize energy consumption should also be explored. The aim of this article is to explore the role of energy consumption and the influence of workpiece and tool materials towards the sustainability of machining process. The article concludes that sustainability of the machining process can be improved by incorporating different innovative approaches related to the energy and tool–workpiece material consumptions.

Cfrp Composite

Carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have very good mechanical properties, such as extremely high tensile strength/weight ratios, tensile modulus/weight ratios, and high strengths. CFRP composites need to be machined with a suitable cutting tool; otherwise, the machining quality may be reduced, and failures often occur. However, as a result of the high hardness and low thermal conductivity of CFRPs, the cutting tools used in the milling process of these materials complete their lifetime in a short cycle, due to especially abrasive wear and related failure mechanisms. As a result of tool wear, some problems, such as delamination, fiber breakage, uncut fiber and thermal damage, emerge in CFRP composite under working conditions. As one of the main failure mechanisms emerging in the milling of CFRPs, delamination is primarily affected by the cutting tool material and geometry, machining parameters, and the dynamic loads arising during the machining process. Dynamic loads can lead to the breakage and/or wear of cutting tools in the milling of difficult-to-machine CFRPs. The present research was carried out to understand the influence of different machining parameters on tool abrasion, and the work piece damage mechanisms during CFRP milling are experimentally investigated. For this purpose, cutting tests were carried out using a (Physical Vapor Deposition) PVD-coated single layer TiAlN and TiN carbide tool, and the abrasion behavior of the coated tool was investigated under dry machining. To understand the wear process, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) was used. As a result of the experiments, it was determined that the hard and abrasive structure of the carbon fibers caused flank wear on TiAlN- and TiN-coated cutting tools. The best machining parameters in terms of the delamination damage of the CFRP composite were obtained at high cutting speeds and low feed rates. It was found that the higher wear values were observed at the TiAlN-coated tool, at the feed rate of 0.05 mm/tooth.

Data Set

The most common machining processes of turning, drilling, milling and grinding concern the removal of material from a workpiece using a cutting tool. The performance of machining processes depends on a number of key method parameters, including cutting tool, workpiece material, machine configuration, fixturing, cutting parameters and tool path trajectory. The large number of possible configurations can make it difficult to implement fault detection systems without having to train the system to a particular method or fault type. The research of this article applies a novel method to detect the changing state of a process over time in order to detect faulty machining conditions such as worn tools and cutting depth changes. Unlike studies in the previous literature in this domain, an unsupervised learning method is used, so that the method can be applied in production to unfamiliar processes or fault conditions. In the case presented, novelty detection is applied to a multivariate sensor feature data set obtained from a milling process. Sensor modalities include acoustic emission, vibration and spindle power and time and frequency domain features are employed. The Mahalanobis squared-distance is used to measure discordancy of each new data point, and values that exceed a principled novelty threshold are categorised as fault conditions.
