In this paper, the optimization of cutting parameters is investigated to assess surface roughness and cutting force in the end milling of AlSi/AlN metal matrix composite. Eighteen experiments (L18) with five factors (cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, volume of particle reinforcement, and type of coated insert) were performed based on Taguchi designs of the experiment method. Two types of coating (TiB2 and TiN/TiCN/TiN) of the carbide cutting tool were employed to machine various volumes of AlN particle (5%, 7% and 10%) reinforced AlSi alloy matrix composite under dry cutting conditions. Signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were applied to investigate the optimum cutting parameters and their significance. The S/N analysis of the obtained results showed that the optimum cutting conditions for the cutting force were; A2 (triple coating of the insert), B2 (cutting speed: 200m/min), C1 (feed rate: 0.6mm/tooth), D1 (axial depth: 0.6mm) and E1 (5% reinforcement). At the mean time, the optimum cutting conditions for surface roughness were; A1 (single coating of insert), B3 (cutting speed: 250m/min), C2 (feed rate: 0.75mm/tooth), D1 (axial depth: 0.6mm) and E1 (5% reinforcement).The study confirmed that, with a minimum number of experiments, the Taguchi method is capable of determining the optimum cutting conditions for the cutting force and surface roughness for this new material under investigation.

Stainless steels have gained much attention to be an alternative solution for many manufacturing industries due to their high mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, owing to their high ductility, their low thermal conductivity and high tendency to work hardening, these materials are classed as materials difficult to machine. Therefore, the main aim of the study was to examine the effect of cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the response parameters including surface roughness (Ra), tangential cutting force (Fz) and cutting power (Pc) during dry turning of AISI 316L using TiCN-TiN PVD cermet tool. As a methodology, the Taguchi L27 orthogonal array parameter design and response surface methodology (RSM)) have been used. Statistical analysis revealed feed rate affected for surface roughness (79.61%) and depth of cut impacted for tangential cutting force and cutting power (62.12% and 35.68%), respectively. According to optimization analysis based on desirability function (DF), cutting speed of 212.837 m/min, 0.08 mm/rev feed rate and 0.1 mm depth of cut were determined to acquire high machined part quality

The present paper discusses the development of the first and second order models for predicting the tangential cutting force produced in end-milling operation of medium carbon steel. The mathematical model for the cutting force prediction has been developed, in terms of cutting parameters cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using design of experiments and the response surface methodology (RSM). All the individual cutting parameters affect on cutting forces as well as their interaction are also investigated in this study. The second order equation shows, based on the variance analysis, that the most influential input parameter was the feed rate followed by axial depth of cut and, finally, by the cutting speed. Central composite design was employed in developing the cutting force models in relation to primary cutting parameters. The experimental results indicate that the proposed mathematical models suggested could adequately describe the performance indicators within the limits of the factors that are being investigated. The adequacy of the predictive model was verified using ANOVA at 95% confidence level. This paper presents an approach to predict cutting force model in end milling of medium carbon steel using coated TiN insert under dry conditions and full immersion cutting.Keywords: Tangential Cutting Forces; RSM; coated TiN; model.DOI: 10.3329/jme.v40i2.5350Journal of Mechanical Engineering, Vol. ME 40, No. 2, December 2009 95-103

This paper aims to investigate cutting conditions influence on main cutting force and surface roughness based on considered chip form types in cast nylon turning operation with single-point high speed steel cutting tool. The 75 experiments were performed by average of three levels of cutting speed, five levels of cutting depth and five levels of feed rate. The results reveal that main cutting forces were increased by an increasing of cutting speed and cutting depth for all obtained chip form types for all chip form types. The surface roughness is affected by increasing of feed rate and reduction of cutting speed for 2.3 Snarled and 4.3 Snarled chip form types. The statistical path-coefficient analysis results are shown that the main cutting force affected by cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate with total causal effect value of 0.5537, 0.4785 and 0.1718, respectively. The surface roughness is influenced by feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut with 0.8400, -0.2419 and-0.0711 of total causal effect value, respectively. These results are useful to perform varying cutting conditions for high quality of workpiece in cast nylon turning by control the chip form type.

Machined surface condition of nickel-based superalloys has an important influence on the functional performance of the components. Proper selection of cutting parameters could improve surface finish and increase service life of parts and components. This research work bases on an experimental and statistical study of turning GH4169 nickel-based superalloy with cemented carbide tool. Surface damages like feed marks, tips, and surface tearing were discussed. The second-order polynomial model was used to describe the surface roughness response. Variance analysis was selected to eliminate the insignificant variables in the roughness model. The response surface methodology was used to investigate the combined effect of cutting parameters on two different dimensions surface roughness parameters. The optimization of cutting parameters for minimum surface roughness was obtained using desirability function method. The results demonstrate that feed rate has the most significant effect on surface roughness. High cutting speed and low feed rate result in better surface quality, but too low feed rate exacerbates built-up edge phenomenon and deteriorates surface condition. Optimal cutting parameters leading to the minimum surface roughness were highlighted.

The turning test of stainless steel was carried out by using the central composite surface design of response surface method (RSM) and Taguchi design method of central combination design. The influence of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting depth) on the surface roughness was analyzed. The surface roughness prediction model was established based on the second-order RSM. According to the test results, the regression coefficient was estimated by the least square method, and the regression equation was curve fitted. Meanwhile, the significance analysis was conducted to test the fitting degree and response surface design and analysis, in addition to establishing a response surface map and three-dimensional surface map. The life of the machining tool was analyzed based on the optimized parameters. The results show that the influence of feed rate on the surface roughness is very significant. Cutting depth is the second, and the influence of cutting speed is the least. Therefore, the cutting parameters are optimized and tool life is analyzed to realize the efficient and economical cutting of difficult-to-process materials under the premise of ensuring the processing quality.

Abstract Non-reinforced and reinforced Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone (PEEK) plastics have excellent mechanical and thermal properties. Machining is an efficient process that can be used to manufacture specific mechanical parts made from PEEK composites. Researchers have focused on improving the performance of machining operations with the aim of minimizing costs and improving quality of manufactured products, in order to get the best surface roughness and the minimum cutting force. The parameters evaluated are the cutting speed, the depth of cut and the feed rate. In this paper, the effect of the mentioned parameters on surface roughness and cutting force, in dry turning of reinforced PEEK with 30% of carbon fibers (PEEK CF30) using TiN coated cutting tools, is analyzed through using robust design techniques such as Taguchi's design method, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and statistical analysis tools such as Pareto-ANOVA. The obtained results have shown that Taguchi method and Pareto ANOVA are suitable for optimizing the cutting parameters with the minimum possible number of experiments, and the optimized process parameters were determined for surface roughness and cutting force criteria.
