Through the design of orthogonal experiment, the use of Taguchi method, and noise ratio analysis and variance analysis of dry cutting high hardness mould steel PM60 under different cutting parameters; and finally, the optimal cutting parameters of surface roughness and cutting force value were predicted and verified. Research showed that: the worst cutting parameters influenced the surface roughness Ra was radial depth of cut ae, its influence was highly significant, followed by spindle speed n and depth of axial cut ap; the most serious impact cutting parameter of cutting force F was the feed speed vf, followed by the spindle speed n and radial depth of cut ae; verification test showed that the optimal cutting parameters combination were reasonable and the calculation errors of the predicted values and experimental values were very small, indicating that Taguchi method in cutting parameters optimization of cutting mould steel PM60 was valid.

This study focused on the side milling surface roughness of titanium alloy under various cooling strategies and cutting parameters. The experimental results show that the cooling strategies significantly affect the surface roughness in milling Ti-6Al-4V. Surface roughness (Ra) alterations are investigated. Cutting fluid strategy made nearly all the smallest and most stable roughness values. The surface roughness values produced by all cooling strategies are obviously affected by feed, radial depth-of-cut and cutting speed. However, axial depth-of-cut has little influence.

Magnesium alloy is a material with a high strength to weight ratio and is suitable for various applications such as in automotive, aerospace, electronics, industrial, biomedical and sports. Most end products require a mirror-like finish, therefore, this paper will present how a mirror-like finishing can be achieved using a high speed face milling that is equivalent to the manual polishing process. The high speed cutting regime for magnesium alloy was studied at the range of 900-1400 m/min, and the feed rate for finishing at 0.03-0.09 mm/tooth. The surface roughness found for this range of cutting parameters were between 0.061-0.133 µm, which is less than the 0.5µm that can be obtained by manual polishing. Furthermore, from the S/N ratio plots, the optimum cutting condition for the surface roughness can be achieved at a cutting speed of 1100 m/min, feed rate 0.03 mm/tooth, axial depth of cut of 0.20 mm and radial depth of cut of 10 mm. From the experimental result the lowest surface roughness of 0.061µm was obtained at 900 m/min with the same conditions for other cutting parameters. This study revealed that by milling AZ91D at a high speed cutting, it is possible to eliminate the polishing process to achieve a mirror-like finishing.

High-speed milling is recognized as one of rapidly development machining methods. The article gives details of machining experiments with different aluminum alloys. Through a lot of single factor experiments and the orthogonal multi-factor experiments, and also use method of semi-artificial thermocouple. This paper mainly studies influence of surface roughness and residual stress with changed rotate speed, tooth load and radial depth of cut, and changed law of processing temperature for rotate speed. Though experiments shows that enhancing rotate speed may reduce surface roughness and residual stress within certain limits and the result of experiments is not agree with Carl Salomon’s theory.

The high speed milling of silicon carbide was discussed by using flat end-mill 2 mm in diameter diamond coated tool. Ultra-precision high speed spindle attachment was used to achieve cutting tool rotation speed as high as 50,000 rpm. Special fixture was designed to minimize the chatter on work-piece surface during the machining process. Three cutting parameters were selected as independent variables of the experiments. They were spindle speed, depth of cut and feed rate. The arithmetic mean value of roughness (Ra) was measured on the work-piece surface as the response of the experiment. Result of the experiment shows that the value of surface roughness can be achieved as low as 0.150 μm. Statistical analysis was provided to study the significant of the model, interaction among the cutting parameters and their effects to the surface roughness value.

In this paper, Taguchi method was applied to design the cutting experiments when end milling Inconel 718 with the TiAlN-TiN coated carbide inserts. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio are employed to study the effects of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut) on surface roughness, and the optimal combination of the cutting parameters for the desired surface roughness is obtained. An exponential regression model for the surface roughness is formulated based on the experimental results. Finally, the verification tests show that surface roughness generated by the optimal cutting parameters is really the minimum value, and there is a good agreement between the predictive results and experimental measurements.

Surface roughness is one of the most important product quality characteristics. In this paper, experimental investigation of surface roughness was performed in high speed turning of hardened AISI P20 steel with CBN tool based on design of experiment. The influence of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius on surface roughness were assessed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Optimal cutting parameters were found to improve the machining performance. Due to the complexity of machining process, artificial neural network (ANN) was employed to develop the predictive model of surface roughness. Simulations were done to study the relationship between surface roughness and cutting parameters based on the proposed model.

High-speed machining thoroughly hardened tool steels has emerged as a competitive finishing technology for making dies and molds. The objective of this paper is to develop an optimization method for the better (i. e., lower value) surface roughness in terms of cutting parameters when high-speed milling hardened H13 steel. The cutting parameters to be considered were cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut, respectively. A series of high-speed milling experiments of hardened H13 steel using PVD coated carbide inserts without any cutting fluids were performed to measure the surface roughness data. Taguchi orthogonal arrays, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to evaluate the effects of cutting parameters on surface roughness and to find the optimal factor/level combination for the better surface roughness. The investigations of this study would be used for design optimization of cutting parameters to obtain the better surface roughness.

The method to measure the cutting speed when high speed milling nickel alloy Inconel 718 based on semi-artificial thermocouple. The cutting parameters, tool wear and so on the cutting temperature were analyzed. The tests showed that the temperature was gradually increased with the increase of cutting speed. The cutting speed must be more than 600m/min, when the ceramic tools would perform better cutting performance in the high-speed milling nickel-based superalloy. In order to achieve more efficient machining, milling speed can be increased to more than 1000m/min. The impact amount of Radial depth of cut and feed per tooth were relatively small.
