High-speed machining thoroughly hardened tool steels has emerged as a competitive finishing technology for making dies and molds. The objective of this paper is to develop an optimization method for the better (i. e., lower value) surface roughness in terms of cutting parameters when high-speed milling hardened H13 steel. The cutting parameters to be considered were cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut, respectively. A series of high-speed milling experiments of hardened H13 steel using PVD coated carbide inserts without any cutting fluids were performed to measure the surface roughness data. Taguchi orthogonal arrays, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to evaluate the effects of cutting parameters on surface roughness and to find the optimal factor/level combination for the better surface roughness. The investigations of this study would be used for design optimization of cutting parameters to obtain the better surface roughness.

The high speed milling of silicon carbide was discussed by using flat end-mill 2 mm in diameter diamond coated tool. Ultra-precision high speed spindle attachment was used to achieve cutting tool rotation speed as high as 50,000 rpm. Special fixture was designed to minimize the chatter on work-piece surface during the machining process. Three cutting parameters were selected as independent variables of the experiments. They were spindle speed, depth of cut and feed rate. The arithmetic mean value of roughness (Ra) was measured on the work-piece surface as the response of the experiment. Result of the experiment shows that the value of surface roughness can be achieved as low as 0.150 μm. Statistical analysis was provided to study the significant of the model, interaction among the cutting parameters and their effects to the surface roughness value.

Surface finish and dimensional accuracy is one of the most important requirements in machining process. Inconel 718 has been widely used in the aerospace industries. High speed machining (HSM) is capable of producing parts that require little or no grinding/lapping operations within the required machining tolerances. In this study small diameter tools are used to achieve high rpm to facilitate the application of low values of feed and depths of cut to investigate better surface finish in high speed machining of Inconel 718. This paper describes mathematically the effect of cutting parameters on Surface roughness in high speed end milling of Inconel 718. The mathematical model for the surface roughness has been developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using design of experiments and the response surface methodology (RSM). Central composite design was employed in developing the surface roughness models in relation to primary cutting parameters. Machining were performed using CNC Vertical Machining Center (VMC) with a HES510 high speed machining attachment in which using a 4mm solid carbide fluted flat end mill tool. Wyko NT1100 optical profiler was used to measure the definite machined surface for obtaining the surface roughness data. The predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental one and hence the model can be efficiently used to predict the surface roughness value with in the specified cutting conditions limit.

Optimization of cutting parameters in finish turning of medical stainless steel 316LVM with coated carbide tools using Taguchi method is proposed in this paper. Four cutting parameters namely, insert radius, depth of cut, feed and cutting speed are optimized with considerations of surface roughness as performance characteristic. The effects of cutting parameters on the surface roughness were experimentally investigated. Experimentation was conducted as per Taguchi's orthogonal array. Four cutting parameters with three levels are arranged in L27 orthogonal array. The orthogonal array, measured values of surface roughness, signal-to-noise ratios and analysis of variance are employed to study the surface roughness. Based on the analysis, the optimal cutting parameter settings were determined. Through the confirmation test with optimal cutting parameter settings the effectiveness of the optimization approach are validated. The obtained results have shown that Taguchi method is suitable for optimizing the cutting parameter levels with the minimum number of experiments.

This research work considered the high speed milling operation of Inconel 718 using a 4 flute solid carbide end mill tool without the use of coolant. Inconel 718 is a Nickel based Heat Resistance Super Alloy (HRSA) that is vastly used in the aerospace industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance and good mechanical properties. However, Inconel 718 is considered as a difficult-to-cut super alloy, which poses several problems when machining the material. The aim of this work is to investigate the effect and the influence of cutting parameters (feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut) on the quality of the machined surface as well as to evaluate the tool wear after machining. This evaluation of the surface roughness was done using a CNC milling machine at various parameters range for the values of feed rate (50-150 mm/min), spindle speed (2000-4000 RPM), and depth of cut (0.05-0.1 mm). The experiment was designed using Response Surface Analysis Method with Central Composite Design (CCD) to optimize the experimentation. The resulting tool wear and surface roughness after high speed machining were then analysed using ANOVA to determine the cutting parameters which is most affecting the surface roughness.

This study focused on the side milling surface roughness of titanium alloy under various cooling strategies and cutting parameters. The experimental results show that the cooling strategies significantly affect the surface roughness in milling Ti-6Al-4V. Surface roughness (Ra) alterations are investigated. Cutting fluid strategy made nearly all the smallest and most stable roughness values. The surface roughness values produced by all cooling strategies are obviously affected by feed, radial depth-of-cut and cutting speed. However, axial depth-of-cut has little influence.


High Speed machining has captured popularity over last few years; Due to technological enhancements its implementation was successful. Because of progressive growth in machine tools and cutting too technology, HSM has proved itself an economic manufacturing process for manufacturing parts with high fidelity and surface quality. In recent times, with the progress of cutting tool technologies, HSM has also been used for machining alloy steels for preparing molds/dies employed in the manufacturing of a broad collection of automotive components, and also for plastic molding parts. This mechanization was effectively used with some advancement in machine tools, controllers and spindles. [1, 2]. The goal of this research is to develop mathematical models, in terms of the High-speed Milling operation input parameters. These models will assist engineers and technologists to achieve desirable machining conditions. This approach will assure the highest Depth of Cut, and assist in lowering machining time. Furthermore, it will reduce the numbers of experiments without any significant loss in the accuracy of the models developed.
