In this paper, the dry cutting performance of Al2O3/TiC-based ceramic composites with nanoCaF2 was studied. Compared with the Al2O3/TiC ceramic tool, the Al2O3/TiC/CaF2 ceramic tool has lower cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness when milling 40Cr hardened steel. Three cutting parameters of cutting speed, feed per tooth, and cutting depth were used to conduct orthogonal experiments to study its changing trend. Through testing of cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness, and by comparison with ceramic tools without nanosolid lubricant added, the order of influence of three cutting parameters on cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness was obtained. The experimental results showed that the cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness of Al2O3/TiC/CaF2 ceramic tools containing nanoCaF2 werebetter than those of Al2O3/TiC ceramic tools. The cutting force, the cutting temperature, and the surface roughness were respectively reduced by 16.5%, 25.8% and 43% compared to when no solid lubricant was added. In addition, after adding solid lubricant, the effect of cutting depth on cutting force was significantly reduced. The average friction coefficient of the tool rake surface was 31.1% lower than that of ceramic tools without solid lubricant. In order to explain this phenomenon, through scanning electron microscopy (SEM) scanning and energy spectroscopy (EDS) elemental analysis, the wear reduction mechanism of solid lubricants was analyzed, that is, during the cutting process, nanosolid lubricants precipitated and formed lubricating film on the rake surface of the tool to reduce the friction coefficient. This was also the main reason for reducing the cutting temperature.

A series of milling experiments with and without cutting fluid, arranged by uniform design method, were carried out on rotor material. The influence of cutting fluid on cutting force and surface roughness was explored and compared for the two kinds of conditions. The associated model was established between cutting force & surface roughness and cutting parameters according to the linear multivariable regression method. The results show that the cutting force deceases with the increase of the cutting speed or with the decrease of the feed per tooth and the cutting depth. Cutting fluid has little effect on cutting force, and for surface roughness, the influence of cutting fluid is uncertain.

This study aimed at improving the cutting performance of a ceramic tool to which were added solid lubricant particles. We prepared the self-lubricating ceramic tool by adding CaF2@Al2O3 instead of CaF2, and the self-lubricating ceramic tool with Al2O3 as matrix phase, Ti(C,N) as reinforcement phase. The properties of the ceramic tool with different contents of CaF2@Al2O3 and CaF2 were studied by turning 40Cr. Compared with the ceramic tool with 10 vol.% CaF2, the main cutting force and the cutting temperature of the ceramic tool with 10 vol.% CaF2@Al2O3 decreased by 67.25% and 38.14% respectively. The wear resistance and machining surface quality of the ceramic tool with CaF2@Al2O3 were better than the ceramic tool to which were directly added CaF2. The optimal content of CaF2@Al2O3 particles was determined to be 10 vol.%. The addition of CaF2@Al2O3 particles effectively reduces the adverse effect of direct addition of CaF2 particles on the ceramic tool, and plays a role in improving the cutting performance of the ceramic tool.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of cutting parameters on cutting force and temperature in cutting of hardened W18Cr4V with PCBN cutter. Three components of cutting force were recorded by a strain-gauge dynamometer and the cutting temperature was measured by a nature thermocouple of tool-workpiece. The cutting parameters were arranged by orthogonal method. It is shown that the cutting temperature increased with each of the three cutting parameters and the main effecting factor is feeding speed. The three components of cutting force increased greatly with an increase in feeding speed and cutting depth. But the forces decreased a little as cutting speed increased. The main and axial cutting forces depend mainly on cutting depth whereas the radius force is mainly influenced by feeding speed.

Past two decades, the usage of ceramic tools has increased especially in milling and turning process. These advanced ceramic tools have good characteristics that are capable in maintaining high hardness in temperatures and also wears much slower when compared to carbide tools. With limited data available on the tool itself, research is to be done on these advance ceramic tools. The main purpose of this research project is to determine the cutting parameters affecting the cutting temperature and cutting force. The cutting parameters are cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate. Silicon Nitride is chosen as the tool and Steel AISI4140 is chosen as the work piece. Analysis is conducted through Box-Behnken method with 3 levels, 3 factors and 2 responses. The regression model for cutting temperature and cutting force responses are identified. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) is done to determine the effect of the cutting parameters and their contribution towards the cutting temperature and cutting force response. It is found that feed rate has the most influence on cutting temperature and force. The optimal cutting parameters that produce the lowest cutting temperature and lowest cutting force are also obtained.

Most aerospace parts are thin walled and made of aluminum or titanium alloy that is machined to the required shape and dimensions. Deformation is a common issue. Although the reduced cutting forces used in high-speed milling generate low residual stress, the problem of deformation cannot be completely resolved. In this work, we emphasized that choosing the correct cutting parameters and machining techniques could increase the cutting performance and surface quality and reduce the deformation of thin plates. In this study, a part made of a thin 6061 aluminum alloy plate was machined by high-speed milling (HSM), and a Taguchi L16 orthogonal array was used to optimize the following parameters: linear velocity, feed per tooth, cutting depth, cutting width, and toolpath. The impact of cutting parameters on the degree of deformation, surface roughness, as well as the cutting force on the thin plate were all investigated. The results showed that the experimental parameters for the optimal degree of deformation were A1 (linear velocity 450 mm/min), B1 (feed per tooth 0.06 mm/tooth), C1 (cutting depth 0.3 mm), D4 (cutting width 70%), and E4 (rough zigzag). Feed per tooth was the most significant control factor, with a contribution as high as 63.5%. It should also be mentioned that, according to the factor response of deformation, there was a lower value of feed per tooth and less deformation. Furthermore, the feed per tooth and the cutting depth decreased and the surface roughness increased. The cutting force rose or fell with an increase or decrease of cutting depth.

In order to better provide a theoretical basis for the machining of luxury vinyl tiles, a helical milling experiment was conducted by using diamond cutting tools, and special attention was given to the trends of cutting force and surface roughness in respect to tool geometry and cutting parameters. The results showed that the resultant force was negatively correlated to the helix angle and cutting speed, but positively correlated with the cutting depth. Then, that the surface roughness increased with a decrease of the helix angle and an increase of cutting depth, while as cutting speed raised, the surface roughness first declined and then increased. Thirdly, the cutting depth was shown to have the greatest influence on both cutting force and surface roughness, followed by helix angle and cutting speed. Fourth, the contribution of cutting depth only was significant to cutting force, while both the helix angle and cutting speed had insignificant influence on the cutting force and surface roughness. Finally, the optimal cutting conditions were proposed for industrial production, in which the helix angle, cutting speed and cutting depth were 70°, 2200 m/min and 0.5 mm, respectively.

In this paper, the effects of tool geometry and cutting parameters on cutting force and quality were investigated during the tapered milling of glass magnesium (MGO) board with diamond cutters. The results were as follows: firstly, both the cutting force and roughness of the machined surface were positively correlated with the taper angle of the cutters and the cutting depth, but negatively related to the spindle speed. Then, the cutting depth had the largest influence on the cutting force and surface roughness, followed by the taper angle and spindle speed. Thirdly, the taper angle had a significant influence on the cutting force, but not on the surface roughness. The contribution of the spindle speed to both the cutting force and the surface roughness were significant, while the cutting depth had an insignificant effect on the cutting force and the surface roughness. Finally, the optimal cutting condition for the tapered milling of glass magnesium board was found to be a taper angle of 15°, a spindle speed of 5000 rpm (cutting speed of 36.63 m/s), and a cutting depth of 0.5 mm, which are proposed for industrial production in order to achieve greater cutting quality and economic benefit.

This research presents the integration of the surface roughness and chip formation monitoring by using the cutting force and the cutting temperature during the in-process turning. The surface roughness prediction model is proposed by utilizing the response surface analysis with the Box-Behnken design. The effects of cutting parameters on the cutting force and the cutting temperature are investigated. The cutting force and the cutting temperature are measured to help analyze the relation between the surface roughness and the cutting conditions. The models of the cutting force ratio and the cutting temperature are also proposed based on the experimental data. The in-process monitoring of chip formation is developed to detect the continuous chip and the broken chip by utilizing the power spectrum density of dynamic cutting force and the variance of the dynamic cutting temperature.The broken chip formation is required for the reliable turning operation. The algorithm is proposed to obtain the broken chip by changing the cutting conditions during the cutting process based on the cutting force and the cutting temperature. It has been proved by series of cutting experiments that the proposed surface roughness model can be effectively used to predict the surface roughness, and the broken chip is well identified by the proposed method.
