In this work, cutting experiments were carried out on titanium alloy Ti6Al4V by using single crystal diamond tools to investigate the effects of cutting parameters on machined surface roughness. Experimental results show machined surface roughness decreases with increases in the cutting speed within a limited range, begins to increase as the factors reaches to certain values respectively, and decreases with increases in feed rate. Cutting depth has no significant influence on the machined surface roughness. The results also show that dominant mechanisms of the single crystal diamond tools are abrasive wear and adhesion wear.

Powder metallurgy (PM) nickel-based superalloy is regarded as one of the most important aerospace industry materials, which has been widely used for engine components. As the demands of the service performance increase, the surface characteristics are becoming more and more important. However, the machined surface of PM nickel-based superalloy is easily damaged due to its poor machinability. A series of milling experiments in a wide range of speeds were carried out to investigate the effects of dry milling parameters on the surface characteristics of PM nickel-based superalloy. The machined surface is evaluated in terms of surface roughness and work hardening. The results show that, milled surface characteristics of PM nickel-based superalloy are sensitivity to the cutting speeds. The machined surface roughness increases with increase of the cutting speed, but with further increase of cutting speed between 70 to 90 m/min and 150 to 170 m/min two decreases in surface roughness appear. For work hardening, it can be seen that the machined workpiece surface hardens seriously.

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.

The article compares two cutting edge preparation methods and their influence on the machined surface roughness of the difficult to cut nickel alloy Inconel 718 and the tool wear of cutting inserts made of cemented carbide. The manufacturing and preparation process of cutting inserts used in the experiment were made by Dormer Pramet. The preparation methods used in the experiment were drag finishing and brushing. Cutting parameters did not change during the whole turning process to maintain the same conditions in each step of the process and were determined based on tests for a semi-finishing operation of the turning process. To obtain durability of 25 to 30 minutes with controlled development of the tool wear the cutting parameters were determined with cooperation with the cutting inserts manufacturer.

In this paper we analyze the influence of cutting parameters on the surface quality, surface roughness respectively, processed by turning when heat treated bearing steel, also called hard turning, and processing by turning of bearing steel without heat treatment. We set parameters of the cutting regime influencing the achievement of roughness surfaces which must be within the predetermined requirements if bearing rings exceeding 500 mm in diameter. This analysis will be done by statistical methods using the software Minitab 14.

Frequently, on the drawings of mechanical parts, only indications concerning the surface roughness parameter Ra and, relatively rarely, the surface roughness parameter Rz are included. However, the study of the machined surface roughness highlights the necessity to use yet other surface roughness parameters, in order to have a clearer image on the state of the machined surface. Some other surface roughness parameters possible to be used and presenting importance, without the parameters Ra and Rz, were highlighted. One took into consideration the possibility of measuring parameters Rsk and Rmr by means of the available surface roughness testers. Experimental researches of turning by applying the method of full factorial experiment were developed. As input factors in turning process, the cutting speed, the feed rate and the tool nose radius were used. The experimental results were mathematically processed, being determined empirical mathematical models that highlight the influence of certain input factors of turning process on the values of some surface roughness parameters characterized by a more restricted use

Abstract To ensure accuracy and improve the processing efficiency of Ti–6Al–4V alloys, dry turning experiment of Ti–6Al–4V was carried out using a novel TiB2-based cermet tool. The tool was reinforced by nanoscale VC additive and exhibited excellent hardness and fracture toughness.Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used in the experiment to verify andevaluatethe cutting performance ofTiB2-based cermet tool.The cutting forces and machined surface roughness (Ra) were selected as the optimization objective. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to find out the effective machining parameters on response factorsand demonstrate correctness of the models. It was found that theeffective factor on surface roughness was feed rate, while cutting depth significantly affected cutting forces.And the confirmation experiments showedthat the predicted values were in good agreement with experimental values. Based on the optimized cutting parameters, the tool life was measured and tool wear mechanismwasinvestigated. When the vc, apandfwere 100 mm/min, 0.16 mm, 0.1 mm/rev respectively for Ra optimization, the cutting length and tool lifecould reach to 3233 m and 29.4 min, respectively, due to the excellentwear resistance and stability of TiB2-based cermet tool at high cutting temperature. In this case, the main wear mechanism was adhesive wear and diffusion wear.

Surface roughness is one of the most significant parameters to determine quality of machined parts. Surface roughness is defined as a group of irregular waves in the surface, measured in micrometers (μm). Many investigations have been performed to verify the relationship between surface roughness and cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. To predict the surface produced by end milling, surface roughness models have been developed in this paper using the machining forces by assuming the end mill cutter as a cantilever beam rigidly or semi- rigidly supported by tool holder. An Aluminium workpiece and solid carbide end mill tools are used in this work. Model to predict surface roughness has been developed. Close relationship between machined surface roughness and roughness predicted using the measured forces signals.

From the invention of turning machine or lathe, some engineers are trying to increase the turning productivity. The increase of productivity is following after the breakout in instrumental area, such as the hard alloy instrument and resistance to wear cutting surfaces. The potential of cutting speed has a certain limit. New steel marks and cutting surfaces types allow significantly increase cutting and turning speeds. For the most operation types the productivity increase begins from the feeding increase. But the increase of feeding goes together with machined surface result decreasement. Metal cutting with high feeding is one of the most actual problems in the increasing of manufacturing volume but there are some problems one of them is the cutting forces increasement and larger metal removal rate, which decrease the cutting tool life significantly. Increasing of manufacturing volume, going together with the cutting instrument technology and material evolution, such as the invention of the carbide cutting materials and wear resistant coatings such as TiC and Ti(C,N). Each of these coating have its own properties and functions in the metal cutting process. Together with this evolution the cutting tool geometry and machining parameters dependencies are researched. Traditionally for the decreasing the machining time of one part, the cutting parameters were increased, decreasing by this way the machining operation quantity. In our days the wear resistance of the cutting tools increasing and it is mostly used one or two machining operations (medium and fine finishing). The purpose of the topic is to represent the experimental results of the stainless steel turning process, using increased cutting speeds and feeding values, to develop advanced processing technology, using new modern coated cutting tools by CVD and PVD methods. After investigation of the machined surface roughness results, develop the mathematical model of the cutting process using higher values of the cutting parameters.
