Many difficult to machine materials, such as Inconel 625Ni-based super alloy, are uncommon class of metallic materials with exceptional combination of greater thermal strength, toughness and resistance to deterioration. They have extensive applications in the manufacturing of new aero-engines, besides its enormous uses in marine, chemical and oil & petrochemical industries. In the context of its wide range of applications, there is a need for efficiently processing better methods in the manufacturing of such difficult to machine materials. This study consists of the turning operation of Ni-based super alloy Inconel 625 without coolant, carried out by physical vapour deposition (PVD) coated carbide inserts. The response parameters, such as surface roughness and material removal rate were evaluated in terms of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Sixteen experiments were carried out, based on Taguchi's Design of Experiments using orthogonal array. The resulting analysis was done based on response graph. The experimental results revealed that the feed rate was the most influential factor, followed by the depth of cut and cutting speed. The optimal parameters achieved were cutting speed of 90 m/min, the feed rate of 0.35 mm/rev and the depth of cut 0.2 mm.

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 article presents the tool wear mechanism when machining Aluminium alloy 6061-T6 with PVD coated carbide under dry cutting condition. Cutting parameters selected were cutting speed, Vc = 115-145 m/min; feed rate fz = 0.15-0.2 mm/tooth and depth of cut, ap = 0.5-0.75 mm. The result showed the tool life of PVD TiAlN ranged from 11 to 97 min. Full factorial approach was employed to exhibit relationship between parameter input and output. From the analysis, cutting speed was found to be the most significant factor for tool performance followed by feed rate and depth of cut. It was also found that most of failure modes occurred were notch wear and flaking near those found near depth of cut line.

AbstractThe cutting parameters such as the cutting speed, the feed rate, the depth of cut, etc. are expected to affect the two constituents of surface integrity (SI), i.e., surface roughness and micro-hardness. An attempt has been made in this paper to investigate the effect of the CNC hard turning parameters on the surface roughness average (Ra) and the micro-hardness (μh) of AISI 52100 hard steel under dry cutting conditions. Nine experimental runs based on an orthogonal array of the Taguchi method were performed and grey relational analysis method was subsequently applied to determine an optimal cutting parameter setting. The feed rate was found to be the most influential factor for both the Ra and the μh. Further, the results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that the cutting speed is the most significant controlled factor for affecting the SI in the turning operation according to the weighted sum grade of the surface roughness average and micro-hardness.

This paper presents a study on the effect of Ranque-Hilsch vortex tube air cooling on surface roughness quality and carbon footprint when turning mild steel workpiece with coated carbide cutting tool. The cutting parameters involved in this study were cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The cutting speed and feed rate were fixed at 160 m/min and 0.10, 0.18 and 0.28 mm/rev, while the depth of cut was varied from 1.0 to 4.0 mm. During the turning process, the cutting temperatures were measured using infrared thermometer and the power consumption was measured using a power and harmonics analyzer and then converted into carbon footprint. The machined parts surface roughness were measured using a surface roughness tester. The results show that machining with Ranque - Hilsch vortex tube reduces the cutting temperature, but the surface roughness and carbon footprint is better under ambient condition except at a higher feedrate.

Metal matrix composites (MMC) are the combination of base metal matrix and reinforcing materials like SiC, Al2O3, etc. The present research is focused on the machinability studies of Al 6061 reinforced with 10% wtof Al2O3 particles using multi layered coated carbide inserts. Fabricated samples by stir casting route were turned by the most variable factors, cutting speed, depth of cutand by a constant feed rate of 0.206 mm/rev. Surface roughness and tool wear are considered asoutput. Experiments are conducted by varying the cutting speed while keeping feed rate and depth of cut as constant. After the optimum cutting speed was determined, the depth of cut is varied by keeping the cutting speedand feed rateas constant.Based on the optimum cutting speed (150 m/min), depth of cut (1.2 mm) and feed rate (0.206 mm/rev), a long run test was carried out to find out the tool life and surface finish. But due to the softness nature built up edge formation is obtained. At the optimal parametric combination, the built up edge obtained is less than 2 mm for a machining time of 425 s

Coated Carbide Tools

This paper deals with an experimental research on the wear mechanism of coated carbide tools in dry boring of the titanium alloys TC11 which are commonly used for aero-engines. The wear mechanism of coated tool inserts was investigated at various combinations of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Analysis carried out with the SEM suggests that adhesive wear and coating delamination are the dominant wear mechanisms under low speed and feed rate and depth of cut; while chipping and breakage are the dominant wear mechanisms for the combinations of high cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. There was no observation of oxygen existing based on the analysis of SEM which indicated no oxidation wear generated during the boring machining. The excellent chemical stability of TiAlN coating and oxidation resistance performance made contribution to prevent oxidation wear. Another reason was that boring temperature was lower than oxidation temperature.

This research focuses on enhancing the surface roughness of low carbon steel by heat treatment of low carbon steel in turning operation. Heat treatment is mainly used to improve the mechanical properties of materials. Two sets of specimens used during the experiment where each has 5 pieces of mild steel that heat-treated of two-level of temperatures of 650 oC and 900oC. After the heating process of all specimens, it will be exposed to different coolant media which are quenching, normalizing and annealing. A carbide single-point tool, one level of cutting parameters selected as one level of cutting speed and depth of cut and two levels of feed rate used during this research. The results show that specimen quenched by oil bath measures the highest value of the surface roughness of 8.26 µm at 900oC and machined with a feed rate of 0.113 mm. While quenched water specimens show less surface roughness of 4.91µm at 650oC in the same feed rate.

In this present research, the machinability studies of TiAlN/TiCN, TiCN/TiAlN coated and uncoated inserts were investigated on machining custom 450 alloy. The machining input parameters such as feed rate (f), cutting speed (V) and depth of cut (d) are set using orthogonal array. The machining output parameters such as surface roughness, tool wear and cutting forces were studied for its parametric contribution and it was analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Further, the tool wear obtained was studied using scanning electron microscopic images and energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis was conducted to check the addition of work material elements to the coated tool surface. The results show that, the feed rate is the most contributing factor in deciding resultant forces, surface roughness and tool wear respectively. TiAlN/TiCN coated carbide tool has obtained improved machinability, when compared to TiCN/TiAlN coated carbide and uncoated carbide inserts. To obtain one optimal level for all three responses of three types of tools, multi criteria decision making approach, named utility concept approach is selected. Based on the MCDM analysis, it is found that trial number 4 gives better experimental output of improved surface integrity, lower resultant force and less tool wear for all types of tools.

The quality of machined parts and the productivity of machining that leads to economic sustainability.  These factors are also vital for machinability improvement for materials, as well as, for economically sustainable manufacturing. Due to their poor machinability titanium alloys (Ti-alloys) are categorised as difficult-to-machine materials. For the same reason products made of Ti-alloys are highly expensive and are used only in strategic and sophisticated industries.  A series of real-life experimental investigations was carried out to reveal the economic optimal zones of machining parameters that can produce the best possible surface roughness in machining Ti-6Al-4V alloy, using the coated carbide cutting tools, in shortest period of operation time. As the output of the research, for using the coated carbide tools for machining the investigated Ti-alloy, optimal zones of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut have been proposed and presented in graphical format. The current research revealed that all three groups (with nose radius Nr = 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2 mm) of coated carbide tools are capable to produce best surface finish, ranging between Ra = 0.5 - 1.0 µm, with cutting speed starting at V = 60 m/min and beyond at least up to V = 250 m/min while keeping the feed rate and depth of cut as constants as f = 0.1 mm/rev and d = 0.5 mm. The data on the graphs may help researchers, engineers and manufacturers to select optimal economic cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut to achieve a certain level of surface roughness of machined components as assigned by the product designer on the part drawing. This reduces the production cost substantially, reduces number of defect products and improves product quality for machined parts.
