Components miniaturization in industry leads to intensive research and development of efficient micro-technologies through research of different production processes, machines and tools. This paper presents experimental research on machinability of inclined surfaces on hardened steel workpieces with long-neck micro-end-ball mills. Workpiece is hardened AISI D2 tool steel (X155CrVMo-5). Micro-parts of this material is usually produced by non-conventional technologies such as electro-discharge machining (EDM) and laser beam machining (LBM), that allows machining of 2D or simple 3D structures. The effects of geometrical and cutting parameters on output machinability parameters in ball micro-milling were evaluated. Analysis of tool deflection, surface roughness and tool wedge wear was performed, in order to obtain the recommended cutting parameters for more precise, accurate and quality of micro-parts.

The development of industry in the last ten years has caused the production of parts with relatively small dimensions. This has led to intensive development of efficient micro-technologies through research of processes, machines and tools. This paper presents the research of machinability, channels micro-milling in AISI D2 tool steel (X155CrVMo-5), hardened to 62 HRc. As the tool is used micro-milling cutter with diameter of 0.6 mm and relatively large working length of 5 mm. Analysis of surface roughness, burr on workpiece edges and reduction of cutter diameter due tool wear was performed.

One of the non-conventional machining processes widely used in the industry is the wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM). This process has many advantages, like the great precision and quality that can be achieved. As well as other manufacturing operations, the success of the process relies on a correct selection of the cutting parameters. The present paper outlines an experimental study to optimize the machining time and the surface roughness in WEDM of AISI D2 tool steel during roughing machining. The Taguchi methodology is used to evaluate the effects and contributions of the pulse-on time, pulse-off time, servo voltage, and wire speed, on the response variables. The desirability method is employed to define a set of cutting parameters that allows reducing both machining time and surface roughness at the same time. The pulse-on time is the most significant factor for reducing the machining time, followed by the servo voltage, the pulse-off time and the wire speed. For surface roughness, the pulse-off time is the factor with the greatest influence over the response variable. The results obtained show that the machining time is reduced by 4.65%, and the surface roughness is diminished by 4.60% when compared with the initial values that are commonly used in the machining of AISI D2 tool steel. Therefore, greater production rates can be achieved without compromising the quality of the machined parts.

Tool steels are commonly used to cut metal materials due to their distinctive hardness, resistance to abrasion and deformation. However, tool steels are difficult to be joined using conventional fusion welding process. In this study, a thixotropic property of metal was utilised to butt-join an AISI D2 tool steel by using uncommon direct partial re-melting (DPRM) method. A high frequency of induction heating is used to apply the DPRM method. From the recent study, there are many methods in achieving the globular microstructure with the success of semi-solid joining process. Though, very less information on the microstructural effect of semi-solid joining on the mechanical properties was reported. This study aims to analyse the effect of uniaxial force on the microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of the thixo-joint of D2 tool steel. The microstructural analysis showed the diffusion occurred between the grains of the thixo-joint sample with 2.5 N uniaxial force. The maximum strength of the thixo-joint sample with force was 652 MPa. This was slightly higher than the as-received sample and the thixo-joint sample without force. The average hardness value of the thixo-joint sample was 400 HV due to the transformation of ferrite to the metastable austenite.
