High speed machining of the corner of hardened steel mould has a great influence to the entire product performance of the mould. In this paper, with the single factor experiments, the influence of feed per tooth, cutting speed and angle of the corner to the cutting forces, the vibration value and the surface roughness were analyzed. And the cutting parameters were optimized. The cutting forces, vibration value and surface roughness value of the corner of the mould reached the minimum value when the cutting speed was 80 m/min and the feed per tooth was 0.006 mm/z in the experiment. The surface quality of corner with angle of 90o was better than the corner with angle of 60o and 120o with various milling parameters.

Surface roughness is among the key indicators describing the quality of machined surfaces. Although it is an aggregate of several factors, the condition of the surface is largely determined by the type of tool and the operational parameters of machining. This study sought to examine the effect that particular machining parameters have on the quality of the surface. The investigated operation was the high-speed dry milling of a magnesium alloy with a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tool dedicated for light metal applications. Magnesium alloys have low density, and thus are commonly used in the aerospace or automotive industries. The state of the Mg surfaces was assessed using the 2D surface roughness parameters, measured on the lateral and the end face of the specimens, and the end-face 3D area roughness parameters. The description of the surfaces was complemented with the surface topography maps and the Abbott–Firestone curves of the specimens. Most 2D roughness parameters were to a limited extent affected by the changes in the cutting speed and the axial depth of cut, therefore, the results from the measurements were subjected to statistical analysis. From the data comparison, it emerged that PCD-tipped tools are resilient to changes in the cutting parameters and produce a high-quality surface finish.

Hardened steel P20 at 50 HRC is milled at high speed by TiN coated and TiAlN coated solid carbide straight end mills, and the cutting forces and tool wear are measured. The result shows that TiAlN coated tool is more suitable for cutting hardened steel at high speed. Then the hardened steel is milled under different cutting parameters. It is indicated that the effect of cutting speed on cutting forces is small, but the effect of cutting speed on machine vibration should be considered. Increase feed per tooth or radial depth of cut will increase the cutting forces.

The cutting vibration has a great influence on the processing quality of Hardened steel. The research conducted in this paper is about how the cutting parameters influence the cutting vibration amplitude when the hardened steel is cut. The experiments were performed on CNC lathe CAK4085 with PCBN tool, where the cutting speed, feed rate, cutting depth and corner radius had been orthogonally combined. The cutting materials were hardened steel Cr12MoV and GCr15 whose hardness is HRC50-52 and HRC62-64. The cutting vibration amplitude under different group parameters was collected by electric eddy current sensors. An analysis about the influence rule of cutting parameters on cutting vibration amplitude had been made. With the increase of cutting speed, vibration amplitude will increase first, and then decrease. With the appropriate increase of feed rate, vibration amplitude will be reduced. With the increase of cutting depth and corner radius, vibration amplitude will both increase. This research can provide reference for improving cutting quality.

Drilling process has many applications including making molds and dies, all requires different quality of the drilled hole. The aim of this study is to establish models and optimization of cutting parameter to get the best hole quality, including enlargement diameter, circularity error and surface roughness in drilling hardened steel. Drilling experiments have been performed using different cutting parameters (i.e. cutting speed and feed rate) and employ and uncoated carbide drill under flooded cooling. The experimental results show that both of the cutting speed and feed rate significantly affect all responses. Models for responses have been developed for investigation in this study, and their optimizations have been obtained, showing better quality of the drilled hole produced at higher cutting speed and lower feed rate. Desirability for the optimum criteria is 0.944 at the highest cutting speed (60 m/min) and lowest feed rate (0.05 mm/rev).

Hard milling of hardened steel has wide application in mould and die industries. However, milling induced surface finish has received little attention. An experimental investigation is conducted to comprehensively characterize the surface roughness of AISI D2 hardened steel (58-62 HRC) in end milling operation using TiAlN/AlCrN multilayer coated carbide. Surface roughness (Ra) was examined at different cutting speed (v) and radial depth of cut (dr) while the measurement was taken in feed speed, Vf and cutting speed, Vc directions. The experimental results show that the milled surface is anisotropic in nature. Surface roughness values in feed speed direction do not appear to correspond to any definite pattern in relation to cutting speed, while it increases with radial depth-of-cut within the range 0.13-0.24 µm. In cutting speed direction, surface roughness value decreases in the high speed range, while it increases in the high radial depth of cut. Radial depth of cut is the most influencing parameter in surface roughness followed by cutting speed.

In recent years, most of nickel-based materials have been used in aircraft engines. Nickel-based materials applied in the aerospace industry are used in a wide range of applications because of their strength and rigidity at high temperature. However, the high temperatures and high strength caused by the nickel-based materials during cutting also reduce the tool lifetime. This research aims to investigate the tool wear and the surface roughness of Waspaloy during cutting with various cutting speeds, feed per tooth, cutting depth, and other cutting parameters. Then, it derives the formula for the tool lifetime based on the experimental results and explores the impacts of these cutting parameters on the cutting of Waspaloy. Since the impacts of cutting speed on the cutting of Waspaloy are most significant in accordance with the experimental results, the high-speed cutting is not recommended. In addition, the actual surface roughness of Waspaloy is worse than the theoretical surface roughness in case of more tool wear. Finally, a set of mathematical models can be established based on these results, in order to predict the surface roughness of Waspaloy cut with a worn tool. The errors between the predictive values and the actual values are 5.122%∼8.646%. If the surface roughness is within the tolerance, the model can be used to predict the residual tool lifetime before the tool is damaged completely. The errors between the predictive values and the actual values are 8.014%∼20.479%.

In this paper, high speed milling experiments on Ti6Al4V were conducted with coated carbide inserts under a wide range of cutting conditions. The effects of cutting speed, feed rate and radial depth of cut on the cutting forces, chip morphologies as well as surface roughness were investigated. The results indicated that the cutting speed 200m/min could be considered as a critical value at which both relatively low cutting forces and good surface quality can be obtained at the same time. When the cutting speed exceeds 200m/min, the cutting forces increase rapidly and the surface quality degrades. There exist obvious correlations between cutting forces and surface roughness.

This paper investigates high power CO2 laser cutting of 5mm-thick Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy sheets, aiming to evaluate the effects of various laser cutting parameters on surface roughness. Using multiple linear regression, a mathematical model based on experimental data was proposed to predict the maximum height of the surface Sz as a function of two laser cutting parameters, namely cutting speed and assist-gas pressure. The adequacy of the proposed model was validated by Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA). Experimental data were compared with the model’s data to verify the capacity of the proposed model. The results indicated that for fixed laser power, cutting speed is the predominant cutting parameter that affects the maximum height of surface roughness.

Abstract The current state of surface roughness focuses on the 2D roughness. However, there are shortcomings in evaluating surface quality of particle reinforced metal matrix composites using 2D roughness due to the fact that the measuring direction has a vital impact on the 2D roughness value. It is therefore of great importance and significance to develop a proper criterion for measuring and evaluating the surface roughness of cutting particle reinforced metal matrix composites. In this paper, an experimental investigation was performed on the effect of cutting parameters on the surface roughness in cutting in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The 2D roughness Ra, 3D roughness Sa and Sq were comparatively studied for evaluating the machined surface quality of in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The influence of cutting parameters on the surface roughness was also analyzed. The big difference between roughness Ra measured along cutting and feed directions showed the great impact of measuring direction. Besides, surface defects such as pits, grooves, protuberances and voids were observed, which would influence 2D roughness value greatly, indicating that 3D roughness was more suitable for evaluating surface quality of cutting in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The cutting depth and feed rate were found to have the highest influence on 3D roughness while the effect of cutting speed was minimal. With increasing feed rate, cutting depth or width, the 3D roughness increased accordingly. But it decreased as cutting speed increased.
