MMCs components are mostly produced using near net shape manufacturing methods and are subsequently machined to the final dimensions and surface finishes. The MMCs consist of extremely hard reinforcing particles and pose considerable challenges due to the poor machinability and severe wear of the cutting tool. In this study, cutting performance of WC, CBN and PCD cutting tools were investigated with respect to surface roughness during machining of 10 wt % SiCp reinforced Al-Si alloy matrix composites produced by powder metallurgy (PM) method. Average surface roughness (Ra) corresponding to each machining condition was measured. After the machining process the worn insert tips were examined under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Chip geometry and machined surface photographs have been taken by optical microscopy. The experimental results showed that surface roughness decreased with increasing cutting speed for all of cutting tool materials. The best surface integrity was occurred after the machining with PCD insert at the highest cutting speed employed.

Abstract - Magnesium and magnesium alloys is one of materials that worldwide used on automotive components due to very good  strength to weight ratio, resistant to corrosion, lighter compare to steel materials. Other than that magnesium has an advantage in easy to form and good machinability.  Nevertheless, magnesium known as metal which is easy to burned because of magnesium has low melting point. To maintain magnesium from burning quickly when proses machining, it needs to use coolant or lubricant to reduce temperature. Using of coolant when machining process can reduce temperature on cutting tool and work piece material, while using of lubricant can reduce friction between the cutting tool and work piece mateial. However, using of coolant and lubricant can harm for the environment and also coolant difficult to destroyed. Therefore, an alternative method to reduce the temperature when machining of magnesium alloy is using  the rotary cutting tool system. In the rotary cutting tool system, the cutting tool has a time to experience cooling in the period time. Other than aspect of temperature, surface roughness values are representative of surface of quality of produced componens. In this research, surface roughness value of magnesium alloy of AZ31 observed in ranges of work piece cutting speed of  (Vw) 25, 50, 120, 160, 200 m/min, rotary cutting speed of (Vt) 25, 50, 75 m/min, feed rate of (f) 0,05  and 0,10 mm/rev, and depth of cut of 0.2 mm. The turning process was done by using two kinds of diameter of rotary cutting tools are 16 and 20 mm, and without applying of coolant. The results of the research showed that the minimum surface roughness value of machined surface was 0,62𝝻m by using insert with diameter of 16 mm, while the maximum surface roughness value of machined surface was 2,86 𝝻m by using insert with diameter of 20 mm. This result stated that the increase in the diameter of rotary cutting tool gives a significant effect on the produced surface roughness value. Factor of feed rate also gives a significant contribution on the surface roughness value of machined magnesium surface.  The increase in feed rate generated significantly surface roughness value as long as the trials experiments. The produced surface roughness values inversely proportional to the cutting speed of rotary cutting tool.Keywords - magnesium, rotary tool, surface roughness, turning.

There is a difference in machining by the cutting tool with defined geometry and undefined geometry. That is one of the reasons of implementation of hard turning into the machining process. In current manufacturing processes is hard turning many times used as a fine finish operation. It has many advantages – machining by single point cutting tool, high productivity, flexibility, ability to produce parts with complex shapes at one clamping. Very important is to solve machined surface quality. There is a possibility to use wiper geometry in hard turning process to achieve 3 – 4 times lower surface roughness values. Cutting parameters influence cutting process as well as cutting tool geometry. It is necessary to take into consideration cutting force components as well. Issue of the use of wiper geometry has been still insufficiently researched.

Abstract Although Inconel 718 is an important material for modern aircraft and aerospace, it is a kind material, which is known to have low machinability. Especially, while these types of materials are machined, high cutting temperatures, BUE on cutting tool, high cutting forces and work hardening occur. Therefore, in recent years, instead of producing new cutting tools that can withstand these difficult conditions, cryogenic process, which is a heat treatment method to increase the wear resistance and hardness of the cutting tool, has been applied. In this experimental study, feed force, surface roughness, vibration, cutting tool wear, hardness and abrasive wear values that occurred as a result of milling of Inconel 718 material by means of cryogenically treated and untreated cutting tools were investigated. Three different cutting speeds (35-45-55 m/min) and three different feed rates (0.02-0.03-0.04 mm/tooth) at constant depth of cut (0.2 mm) were used as cutting parameters in the experiments. As a result of the experiments, lower feed forces, surface roughness, vibration and cutting tool wear were obtained with cryogenically treated cutting tools. As the feed rate and cutting speed were increased, it was seen that surface roughness, vibration and feed force values increased. At the end of the experiments, it was established that there was a significant relation between vibration and surface roughness. However, there appeared an inverse proportion between abrasive wear and hardness values. While BUE did not occur during cryogenically treated cutting tools, it was observed that BUE occurred in cutting tools which were not cryogenically treated.

Laser Assisted Machining

In laser-assisted machining (LAM), the laser source is focused on the workpiece as a thermal source and locally increases the workpiece temperature and makes the material soft ahead of the cutting tool so using this method, the machining forces are reduced, which causes improving the surface quality and cutting tool life. Machinability of advanced hard materials is significantly low and conventional methods do not work effectively. Therefore, utilizing an advanced method is inevitable. The product life and performance of complex parts of the leading industry depends on surface integrity. In this work, the surface integrity features including microhardness, grain size and surface roughness (Ra) and also the maximum cutting temperature were investigated experimentally in LAM of Ti-6Al-4V. According to the results, cutting speed has inverse effect on the effectiveness of LAM process because with increasing speed (15 to 63 m/min), temperature decreases (524 °C to 359 °C) and surface roughness increases (0.57 to 0.71 μm). Enhancing depth of cut and feed has direct effect on the process temperature, grain size, microhardness and surface roughness.

Surface integrity is particularly important for the aerospace industry components in order to permit longer service life and maximized its reliability. This present work compares the performance of palm oil and synthetic ester on surface roughness, surface defect, microhardness and subsurface deformation when high speed drilling of Ti-6Al-4V under MQL condition. The drilling tests were conducted with AlTiN coated carbide tool. The surface roughness decreased with increasing in cutting speed and thicker subsurface deformation was formed underneath the machined surface. Grooves, cavities, pit holes, microcracks and material smearing were the dominant surface damages thus deteriorated the machined surface. For both lubricants, the machined surface experienced from thermal softening and work hardening effect thus gave a variation in microhardness values. The results indicated the substantial benefit of MQL by palm oil on surface integrity.

In this paper, the surface integrity is studied when machining the aeronautical titanium alloys. Surface roughness, lay, defects, microhardness and microstructure alterations are studied. The result of surface roughness judges that the CVD-coated carbide fails to produce better Ra value than the uncoated. Lay is characterized by cutting speed and feed speed directions. Feed mark, tearing surface, chip layer formation as built up layer (BUL), and deposited microchip are the defects. Microhardness is altered down to 350 microns beneath the machined surface. The first 50 microns is the soft sub-surface caused by thermal softening in ageing process. Microstructure alteration is observed in this sub-surface. Down to 200 microns is the hard sub-surface caused by the cyclic internal work hardening and then it is gradually decreasing to the bulk material hardness. It is concluded that dry machining titanium alloy is possible using uncoated carbide with cutting condition limited to finish or semi-finish for minimizing surface integrity alteration.

Abstract. Kinetic energy of a machining process is converted into heat energy. The generated heat at cutting tool and work piece interface has substantial impact on cutting tool life and quality of the work piece. On the other hand, development of advanced cutting tool materials, coatings and designs, along with a variety of strategies for lubrication, cooling and chip removal, make it possible to achieve the same or better surface quality with dry or Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) machining than traditional wet machining. In addition, dry and MQL machining is more economical and environment friendly. In this work, 20 no. of experiments were carried out under dry machining conditions with different combinations of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut and corresponding cutting temperature and surface roughness are measured. The no. of experiments is determined through Design of Experiments (DOE). Nonlinear regression methodology is used to model the process using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). Multi-objective optimization is carried using Genetic Algorithm which ensures high productivity with good product quality.
