The Impact

While using natural diamond tool to cut stainless steel alloy, the cutting parameters have a great impact on tool life. The impact of cutting parameters on influencing cutting tool life was studied through experiments on using ultrasonic vibration to cut special stainless steel alloy. The experiments were conducted with various cutting speeds, different tool feed rates, altered cutting depths and adapted vibration parameters. Consequently, the relative curve between cutting parameters and tool life was obtained. The experimental results indicated that in the ultrasonic vibration the diamond tool can manufacture stainless steel alloy precisely and made surface quality well. The tool life depended on the spindle speed of machine tool as well as the amplitude and frequency of ultrasonic vibration to a large extent. Among the parameters which affect the processing quality, cutting speed was utmost, followed by feed followed, and the influence of back cutting depth was insignificant.

The Impact

There are many problems and physical phenomena in turning process, like machined surface quality, cutting force, tool wear, and so on. These factors and the chip shape of workpiece materials, which is an important aspect to study the mechanism of ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning, go hand in hand. This article first introduces the types and changes of chip, meanwhile the chip formation mechanism of ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning is studied and analyzed, and the turning experiments of 304 austenitic stainless steel with and without ultrasonic vibration are carried out. The difference of chip morphology between ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning and conventional turning is contrasted and analyzed from the macroscopic and microscopic point of view. The influence of process parameters on chip shape and the impact of chip shape on machining effect are also analyzed. Results indicate that when process parameters (vibration frequency, ultrasonic amplitude, and cutting parameters) are suitably selected, ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning can gain access to better chip shape and chip breaking effect than conventional turning. By contrast with conventional turning, phenomenon of serrated burr on the chip edge and the surface defects of chip in ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning have improved significantly. Moreover, it is found that superior chip morphology in ultrasonic vibration–assisted turning can be acquired under the circumstance of comparatively small cutting parameters (cutting speed, depth of cut, and feed rate); at the same time, preferable chips can also obtain ranking machining effect.

Austenitic stainless steel has poor cutting performance, especially when the inappropriate choice of tool materials and cutting parameters, cutting tool life will be shortened and the quality of machined surface is poor. In this paper, 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel dry cutting tests had been done with nano-TiAlN coated carbide blade YGB202, the relationship between tool life and cutting speed, tool wear mechanism had been analyzed. In order to improve the processing efficiency and tool life, process parameters were optimized.

Ultrasonic vibration is applied to diamond turning of special stainless steel to decrease diamond tool wear and improve the surface quality of the workpieces. It reviews the principle of diamond turning of special stainless steel by applying ultrasonic vibration combined with gas shield. Compared with the ordinary machining method, cutting temperature and cutting force are greatly reduced when machining by application of ultrasonic vibration, and the appetency between a diamond tool and Ferrous atom of a workpiece is also minimized as gas shield application. The Experiments of cutting special stainless steel workpieces show that the surface roughness Ra is less than 0.15μm and flank wear-width is less than 5μm when cutting distance is up to 2000m. It takes research on the effect of cutting parameters to surface roughness and tool wear. The experiment result shows that the amplitude is the most important factor which effects tool wear and surface roughness most.

Rapidly Solidified

Rapid solidification of molten metals has been recently used to generate a new group of alloys having ultra-fine microstructures and high end mechanical properties. Therefore, such alloys can be successfully used in the optics industry to produce diamond machined mirrors and mould inserts for plastic lens injection. Rapidly solidified aluminium grades characterised by their ultra-fine grains can be used to replace traditional optical aluminium such as 6061-T6 which has coarse microstructure when making optics. However, there is currently no data available on the performance of these new grades in terms of diamond tool wear when machined in single-point diamond turning operation. This paper reports on the wear mechanisms of natural diamond tools when turning RSA 443 which is a new aluminium grade produced by rapid cooling process. Although this new aluminium grade enjoys fine microstructure, it is harder than traditional optical aluminium because of its increased content of silicon (about 40%). Therefore, there is a need to establish a deeper understanding of diamond tool performance when using diamond turning of optical components from this material. In this study, three machining parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, were varied at three levels and the edge wear of the diamond inserts was observed using scanning electron microscopy after 4 km of cutting distance. The first observations from this preliminary study show that tool wear of diamond is more sensitive to the change in cutting speed than it is for other cutting parameters. Wear is relatively high (12 µm) at the lowest cutting speed (500 rpm). However, at high cutting speed (3000 rpm) the edge wear was small (3 µm). This could be attributed to the increased impacts of cut the material on the cutting edge. The study also reports on the surface finish obtained at the different combinations of cutting parameters.

Aisi 316

The effects of different cutting parameters, insert nose radius, cutting speed and feed rates on the surface quality of the stainless steel to be use in medical application. Stainless steel AISI 316 had been machined with three different nose radiuses (0.4 mm 0.8 mm, and 1.2mm), three different cutting speeds (100, 130, 170 m/min) and feed rates (0.1, 0.125, 0.16 mm/rev) while depth of cut keep constant at (0.4 mm). It is seen that the insert nose radius, feed rates, and cutting speed have different effect on the surface roughness. The minimum average surface roughness (0.225µm) has been measured using the nose radius insert (1.2 mm) at lowest feed rate (0.1 mm/rev). The highest surface roughness (1.838µm) has been measured with nose radius insert (0.4 mm) at highest feed rate (0.16 mm/rev). The analysis of ANOVA showed the cutting speed is not dominant in processing for the fine surface finish compared with feed rate and nose radius. Conclusion, surface roughness is decreasing with decreasing of the feed rate. High nose radius produce better surface finish than small nose radius because of the maximum uncut chip thickness decreases with increase of nose radius.
