High-speed machining has become mainstream in machining manufacturing industry. In industries such as moldmaking and aerospace, it has become the norm rather the exception. The centrifugal force increases as the square of the speed. At rotational spindle speeds of 6,000 r/min and higher however, centrifugal force from unbalance becomes a damaging factor and it reduces the life of the spindle and the tool, as well as diminishes the quality of the finished product. Under high rotational speed, good balance becomes issue. High-speed machining experimental results shown that a well-balanced tool/toolholder assembly could obviously improve machining quality, extend tool life and shorten downtime for spindle system maintenance etc.

Among advanced cutting methods, High Speed Milling (HSM) is often recommended to improve the productivity and to reduce the costs of machining parts. As every cutting process, HSM is characterized by some defects like surface roughness and delamination are the main defects generated in composite materials. The aim of this experimental work is the studying of the machining quality of woven Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) using the HSM technology. Experiments were done using different machining parameters combinations to make opened holes in CFRP laminates. This study investigated the effect of cutting speed, orbital feed speed, hole diameter on the delamination defect and surface roughness responses generated in the drilled holes. The design of experimental tests was generated using the approach of Central Composite Design (CCD). The characterization of these responses was treated with the Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that the surface roughness is highly affected by the orbital feed speed (F) with contribution of 22.45%. The delamination factor at entry and exit of holes is strongly influenced by the hole diameter D (25.97% and 57.43%) respectively. The developed model equations gave a good correlation between the empirical and predicted results. The optimization of the milling parameters was treated using desirability function to minimize the surface roughness (Ra) and the delamination factor simultaneously.

The productivity of machining centers is influenced inherently by the quality of NC programs. To evaluate productivity, first an effective feedrate factor and a productivity evaluation factor are proposed. It has been found that in high-speed machining, these two factors depend on a kinematic factor which is a function of (1) command feedrate, (2) average per-block travel of the tool, (3) moving vectorial variation of the tool, and (4) ac/deceleration or time constants. Then an NC program simulator has been developed to evaluate productivity. With the simulator, the machining time can be calculated accurately and the cutting conditions can be extracted. Finally, three NC programs were implemented on high-speed machining centers and analyzed by the simulator. It was found that in mold and die machining, the productivity can be improved by increasing the acceleration and average travel and reducing the vectorial variation of the tool rather than the command feedrate.

The coupling characteristic of the tool-holder/spindle interface in high speed NC machine has significant influence on machine tool accuracy and process stability. With the example of HSK-E63, based on nonlinear finite element method (FEM), the coupling characteristic of the tool-holder/spindle interface under high rotational speed was investigated, the influence of interference, clamping force and rotational speed on the contact stress and the sectional area of clearance were discussed in detail. The results can be used as theoretical consideration to design and optimize the high speed tool-holder/spindle interface.

Abstract High-speed centrifugal compressor requirements include a wide operating range between choking and stall especially for turbocharging applications. The prediction of the stability limit at different speeds is still challenging. In literature, several studies have been published on the phenomena that trigger the compressor instability. However, a comprehensive analysis of criteria that can be used in the first steps of centrifugal compressors design to predict the stability limit is still missing. In previous work the authors have already presented a criterion, so called “Stability Parameter”, to predict the surge line of centrifugal compressors based on a simplified CFD approach that does not require excessive computational resources and that can be efficiently used in the preliminary design phases. The above methodology has demonstrated its accuracy for centrifugal compressors with vaned diffuser, but a lower accuracy has been detected for vaneless diffusers. Before proceeding to identify additional criteria focused on compressors with vaneless diffuser, an in-depth fluid dynamics analysis has been necessary. This analysis has been also carried out through fully 3D unsteady simulations to allow identifying the real phenomena linked to the trigger of the instability of centrifugal compressors. It has been found how these phenomena are strongly related to the rotational speed, in particular have been shown the key role of the volute at high rotational speed.

Ultrasonic aided high speed lapping with solid abrasive material was put forward aimed at the precision finishing of nano ZTA engineering ceramic. Through theoretical analysis and contrast lapping experiments, the influences of ultrasonic assistance on the surface machining quality were clarified. Research results show that the maximum undeformed chip thickness in ultrasonic aided lapping is smaller than that in conventional lapping under the same conditions; ultrasonic assistance is beneficial to enlarging the range of ductile lapping regime and improving the surface quality of nano ZTA ceramic; with the application of ultrasonic vibration, smaller surface roughness and more regular surface profile can be obtained.

The quality of high speed machining is directly related to dynamic characteristics of spindle-toolholder interface. The paper established normal and tangential interactions of BT spindle-toolholder interface based on finite element contact theory, and analysed free modal in Abaqus/Standard. Then the result was compared with the experimental modal analysis. It shows that the finite element model is effective and could be applied in the future dynamic study of high-speed spindle system.

Considering the effect of centrifugal force generated by the rotation to the crankshaft frequency and vibration mode, the frequency and vibration mode of multi-speed cases are calculated. The results showed that the impact of the centrifugal force on the crankshaft vibration increases with the increase of rotational speed, especially in the high speed region, this phenomenon is more obvious. From low speed to high speed, the vibration frequency has a large deviation, which shows that in this case, it is necessary to consider the frequency change caused by pre-stress.

This study focuses on electrochemical machining as a method of processing sintered carbide at high speeds. Previous studies have suggested the possibility of using electrochemical machining to achieve high-speed machining of sintered carbide. However, there has been strong resistance in industry against bringing sintered carbide into contact with a conductive liquid. This is because the material quality of sintered carbide is degraded by the elution of Co when it is brought into contact with a conductive liquid.In previous reports, the authors have shown that it is possible to control two modes of Co elution occurring during electrochemical machining: the elution from sintered carbide when it comes into contact with an electrolyte, and the selective elution of Co due to difference in the speeds of WC dissolution and elution of Co when sintered carbide is connected to an electrical source for processing. It was shown that it is possible to control the elution Co in sintered carbide when it comes into contact with an electrolyte by adding Co ions to the electrolyte to increase the concentration of Co ion, and that it is possible to prevent the excessive elution of Co by using a bipolar electrical source for machining. Although we showed that it is possible to carry out electrochemical machining of sintered carbide without degrading its quality, adding of large amounts of Co ions to the electrolyte entails a high cost. In this report, therefore, we describe the addition of Fe ions instead of Co ions to perform electrochemical machining of sintered carbide without quality degradation.
