The milling of AISI 321 stainless steel which has wide engineering applications particularly in automobile, aerospace and medicine is of great importance especially in the conditions where high surface quality is required. In this paper, L16 orthogonal array design of experiments was adopted to evaluate the machinability of AISI 321 stainless steel with coated cemented carbide tools under finish dry milling conditions, and the influence of cutting speed ( V ), feed rate ( f ) and depth of cut ( ap ) on cutting force, surface roughness and tool wear was analysed. The experimental results revealed that the cutting force decreased with an increase in the cutting speed and increased with an increase in the feed rate or the depth of cut. The tool wear was affected significantly by the cutting speed and the depth of cut, while the effect of the feed rate on the tool wear was insignificant. With the cutting speed increased up to 160 m/min, a decreasing tendency in the surface roughness was observed, but when the cutting speed was further increased, the surface roughness increased. The effect of the feed rate and the depth of cut on the surface roughness was slight.

Dry machining represents an eco-friendly method that reduces the environmental impacts, saves energy costs, and protects operator health. This article presents a multi-response optimization which aims to enhance the power factor and decrease the energy consumption as well as the surface roughness for the dry machining of a stainless steel 304. The cutting speed ( V), depth of cut ( a), feed rate ( f), and nose radius ( r) were the processing conditions. The outputs of the optimization are the power factor, energy consumption, and surface roughness. The relationships between inputs and outputs were established using the radial basis function models. The experimental data were normalized, with the use of the Grey relational analysis. The principal component analysis is applied to calculate the weight values of technical responses. The desirability approach is used to observe the optimal values. The results showed that the technical outputs are primarily influenced by the feed rate and cutting speed. The reductions of energy consumption and surface roughness are approximately 34.85% and 57.65%, respectively, and the power factor improves around 28.83%, compared to the initial process parameter settings. The outcomes and findings of the investigated work can be used for further research in sustainable design and manufacturing as well as directly used in the knowledge-based and expert systems for dry milling applications in industrial practices.

The performance of CVD diamond coated cemented carbide cutting tool in comparison with K10 uncoated cemented carbide tool in the dry turning of Al-20wt%Si aluminum-silicon hypereutectic alloy was investigated. The obtained results showed a better cutting performance for CVD diamond coated tool in machining Al-20wt%Si, particularly in terms of cutting force, tool wear, surface roughness, when compared with K10. The cutting forces are lower with CVD diamond coated tool and the depth of cut promotes a great increment of the cutting force. The tool wear processes taking place in the tool tips in all cutting conditions. The tool life of CVD diamond coated tool is longer than that of the uncoated K10. The surface roughness Ra increases obviously with the increase of feed rate using a CVD diamond coated cutting tool. A higher feed rate produces surface rougher. The chip morphology in machining of Al-20wt%Si alloy by CVD diamond coated tool is continuous. The tests showed that the CVD diamond coated tool can be applied on the K10 tool at low feed rate to produce high quality surfaces.

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.

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 research attempts to develop a hybrid coolant by mixing alumina nanoparticles with cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) into ethylene glycol-water (60:40) and investigate the viability of formulated hybrid nanocoolant (CNC-Al2O3-EG-Water) towards enhancing the machining behavior. The two-step method has been adapted to develop the hybrid nanocoolant at various volume concentrations (0.1, 0.5, and 0.9%). Results indicated a significant enhancement in thermal properties and tribological behaviour of the developed hybrid coolant. The thermal conductivity improved by 20-25% compared to the metal working fluid (MWF) with thermal conductivity of 0.55 W/m℃. Besides, a reduction in wear and friction coefficient was observed with the escalation in the nanoparticle concentration. The machining performance of the developed hybrid coolant was evaluated using Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) in the turning of mild steel. A regression model was developed to assess the deviations in the tool flank wear and surface roughness in terms of feed, cutting speed, depth of the cut, and nanoparticle concentration using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The mathematical modeling shows that cutting speed has the most significant impact on surface roughness and tool wear, followed by feed rate. The depth of cut does not affect surface roughness or tool wear. Surface roughness achieved 24% reduction, 39% enhancement in tool length of cut, and 33.33% improvement in tool life span. From this, the surface roughness was primarily affected by spindle cutting speed, feed rate, and then cutting depth while utilising either conventional water or composite nanofluid as a coolant. The developed hybrid coolant manifestly improved the machining behaviour.

With increasing quantities of applications of Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs), the machinablity of these materials has become important for investigation. This paper presents an investigation of surface roughness and tool wear in dry machining of aluminium LM6-TiC composite using uncoated carbide tool. The experiments carried out consisted of different cutting models based on combination of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut as the parameters of cutting process. The cutting models designed based on the Design of Experiment Response Surface Methodology. The objective of this research is finding the optimum cutting parameters based on workpiece surface roughness and cutting tool wear. The results indicated that the optimum workpiece surface roughness was found at high cutting speed of 250 m min-1 with various feed rate within range of 0.05 to 0.2 mm rev-1, and depth of cut within range of 0.5 to 1.5 mm. Turning operation at high cutting speed of 250 m min-1 produced faster tool wear as compared to low cutting speed of 175 m min-1 and 100 m min-1. The wear minimum (VB = 42 μm ) was found at cutting speed of 100 m min-1, feet rate of 0.2 mm rev-1, and depth of cut of 1.0 mm until the length of cut reached 4050 mm. Based on the results of the workpiece surface roughness and the tool flank wear, recommended that turning of LM6 aluminium with 2 wt % TiC composite using uncoated carbide tool should be carried out at cutting speed higher than 175 m min-1 but at feed rate of less than 0.05 mm rev-1 and depth of cut less than 1.0 mm.

Stainless steel was used for many engineering applications. The optimum parameters needs to be identify to save the cutting tool usage and increase productivity. The purpose of this study is to develop the surface roughness mathematical model for AISI 304 stainless steel when milling using TiN (CVD) carbide tool. The milling process was done under various cutting condition which is cutting speed (1500, 2000 and 2500 rpm), feed rate (0.02, 0.03 and 0.04 mm/tooth) and axial depth (0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 mm). The first order model and quadratic model have been developed using Response Surface Method (RSM) with confident level 95%. The prediction models were comparing with the actual experimental results. It is found that quadratic model much fit the experimental result compare to linear model. In general, the results obtained from the mathematical models were in good agreement with those obtained from the machining experiments. Besides that, it is shown that the influence of cutting speed and feed rate are much higher on surface roughness compare to depth of cut. The optimum cutting speed, feed rate and axial depth is 2500 rpm, 0.0212 mm/tooth and 0.3mm respectively. Besides that, continues chip is produced at cutting speed 2500 rpm meanwhile discontinues chip produced at cutting speed 1500 rpm.

In this study, the influence of cutting parameters and machining time on the tool wear and surface roughness was investigated in high-speed milling process of Al6061 using face carbide inserts. Taguchi experimental matrix (L9) was chosen to design and conduct the experimental research with three input parameters (feed rate, cutting speed, and axial depth of cut). Tool wear (VB) and surface roughness (Ra) after different machining strokes (after 10, 30, and 50 machining strokes) were selected as the output parameters. In almost cases of high-speed face milling process, the most significant factor that influenced on the tool wear was cutting speed (84.94 % after 10 machining strokes, 52.13 % after 30 machining strokes, and 68.58 % after 50 machining strokes), and the most significant factors that influenced on the surface roughness were depth of cut and feed rate (70.54 % after 10 machining strokes, 43.28 % after 30 machining strokes, and 30.97 % after 50 machining strokes for depth of cut. And 22.01 % after 10 machining strokes, 44.39 % after 30 machining strokes, and 66.58 % after 50 machining strokes for feed rate). Linear regression was the most suitable regression of VB and Ra with the determination coefficients (R2) from 88.00 % to 91.99 % for VB, and from 90.24 % to 96.84 % for Ra. These regression models were successfully verified by comparison between predicted and measured results of VB and Ra. Besides, the relationship of VB, Ra, and different machining strokes was also investigated and evaluated. Tool wear, surface roughness models, and their relationship that were found in this study can be used to improve the surface quality and reduce the tool wear in the high-speed face milling of aluminum alloy Al6061

The present work has been focused on cutting force (Fc) and analysis of machined surface in turning of AA 6061 alloy with uncoated and PVD-TiB2 coated cutting inserts. Turning tests have been conducted on a CNC turning under dry cutting conditions based on Taguchi L18 (21 × 33) array. Kistler 9257A type dynamometer and equipment have been used in measuring the main cutting force (Fc) in turning experiments. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) has been applied to define the effect levels of the turning parameters on Fc and Ra. Moreover, the mathematical models for Fc and Ra have been developed via linear and quadratic regression models. The results indicated that the best performance in terms of Fc and Ra was obtained at an uncoated insert, cutting speed of 350 m/min, feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev, and depth of cut of 1 mm. Moreover, the feed rate is the most influential parameter on Ra and Fc, with 64.28% and 54.9%, respectively. The developed mathematical models for cutting force (Fc) and surface roughness (Ra) present reliable results with coefficients of determination (R2) of 96.04% and 92.15%, respectively.
