The five stage experiments including without assistance, single and hybrid assisted machining systems on Inconel 718 milling were conducted in this study. First of all, the milling experiment without assistance was performed to investigate the variations of cutting performance and the results were used for a suitable process parameter planning in the subsequent stage experiments. Next, a laser assisted system was introduced in the second stage where the spacing distance between the laser spot and cutting-tool along the cutting direction was modified to test whether laser preheating may effectively reduce the cutting force. A biaxial ultrasonically assisted system with only one-axis oscillation (x or y direction) and with two-axis simultaneous oscillations (x and y directions) were subsequently introduced at the third to fourth stage experiments, respectively. While a biaxial ultrasonically and the laser assisted systems were integrated together to construct a hybrid assisted cutting system at the last stage experiment. Under these assistances, milling experiments of Inconel 718 by cutting-tool of tungsten carbide with nanoSi® coating were conducted. And the full-factorial experiments of process parameter combinations such as spindle speed, radial cutting depth and feed rate were planned. The results indicated that the laser-preheating assisted system could effectively reduce the cutting force as well as enhance the cutting performance. The effect of the biaxial ultrasonic oscillation on tool service life could greatly be promoted. Furthermore, the cutting performance exhibited in the integrated hybrid assisted milling prevails over that in milling without assistance as well as with each single assisted system. Under this hybrid assisted milling, the better surface roughness of 0.216μm was obtained under a combination of spindle speed of 6000 rpm, radial cutting depth of 0.01 mm, and feed rate of 300mm/min, accompanied by a maximum cutting-tool wear of 13.849μm.

In this study, five different assisted techniques, including without assistance, laser-assisted, flood assisted, MQL-assisted and cold air-assisted were employed for NAK80 mold steel milling. The 18 set experiments were performed in each assisted system but 27 sets were executed in the without assistance situation. Under each assisted milling circumstance, the effects of process parameters on the variations of surface roughness, cutting force, tool wear and surface morphology of the workpiece are thus investigated. Milling experiments of NAK80 mold steel by cutting-tool of extra-fine particle tungsten carbide with TiSiN coating were conducted. And the experiments of the process parameter combinations such as spindle speed, feed rate and radial depth of cut were also planned. The results show that, under the same milling conditions, the surface roughness and cutting force are decreased as the spindle speed is increased, but both of them is increased as the feed rate and radial cutting depth are increased. In addition, the maximum flank wear of the cutting-tool is increased as the spindle speed, feed rate and radial cutting depth are increased. In terms of cutting assistance, the cutting performance exhibited in the cold air-assisted milling prevails over that in milling without assistance as well as with the other each assisted system. As a result, the cutting-tool flank wear, surface roughness and cutting force are all better than the other assisted techniques.

This study designed a new microgroove cutting tool to machine Inconel 718 and focused on the effect of microgroove structure on the cutting performance and chip morphology during the turning. A comparative analysis of the cutting force, cutting temperature, tool life, tool wear, and chip morphology of the microgroove cutting tool and the original cutting tool was conducted. The main cutting force and temperature of the microgroove cutting tool were reduced by 12% and 12.17%, respectively, compared with the original cutting tool. The microgroove cutting tool exhibited a significant improvement compared with the original cutting tool, which extended the tool life by up to 23.08%. Further, the microgroove cutting tool distorted the curl radius of the chips extensively. The experimental results showed that the microgroove structure can not only improve the tool life, but also improve the chip breaking effect.

Abstract Al2O3 nano-scaled coating was prepared on micro-textured YT5 cemented carbide cutting tools by atomic layer deposition ALD. The effect of Al2O3 nano-scaled coating, with and without combined action of texture, on the cutting performance was studied by orthogonal cutting test. The results were compared with micro-textured cutting tool and YT5 cutting tool. They show that the micro-texture and nano-scaled Al2O3 coated on the micro-texture both can reduce the cutting force and friction coefficient of the tool, and the tools with nano-scaled Al2O3 coated on the micro-texture are more efficient. Furthermore, the friction coefficient of the 100 nm Al2O3-coated micro-texture tool is relatively low. When the distance of the micro-pits is 0.15 mm, the friction coefficient is lowest among the four kinds of pit textured nanometer coating tools. The friction coefficient is the lowest when the direction of the groove in strip textured nanometer coating tool is perpendicular to the main cutting edge. The main mechanism of the nanometer Al2O3 on the micro-textured tool to reduction in cutting force and the friction coefficient is discussed. These results show that the developed tools effectively decrease the cutting force and friction coefficient of tool–chip interface.

AbstractThe cutting force components and the cutting moment on the cutting tool were measured during the orthogonal machining of ice with cutting tools inclined at negative rake angles. The variables included the cutting depth (< 1 mm), the cutting speed (0.01 ms−1to 1 ms−1), and the rake angles (–15° to –60°). Results of the experiments showed that the cutting force components were approximately independent of cutting speed. The resultant cutting force on the tool was in a direction approximately normal to the cutting face of the tool. The magnitude of the resultant force increased with the negative rake angle. Photographs of ice-chip formation revealed continuous and segmented chips at different cutting depths.

Additive manufacturing (AM), partly due to its compatibility with computer-aided design (CAD) and fabrication of intricate shapes, is an emerging production process. Postprocessing, such as machining, is particularly necessary for metal AM due to the lack of surface quality for as-built parts being a problem when using as a production process. In this paper, a predictive model for cutting forces has been developed by using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The effect of tool path and cutting condition, including cutting speed, feed rate, machining allowance, and scallop height, on the generated force during machining of spherical components such as prosthetic acetabular shell was investigated. Also, different annealing processes like stress relieving, mill annealing and β annealing have been carried out on the samples to better understand the effect of brittleness, strength, and hardness on machining. The results of this study showed that ANN can accurately apply to model cutting force when using ball nose cutters. Scallop height has the highest impact on cutting forces followed by spindle speed, finishing allowance, heat treatment/annealing temperature, tool path, and feed rate. The results illustrate that using linear tool path and increasing annealing temperature can result in lower cutting force. Higher cutting force was observed with greater scallop height and feed rate while for higher finishing allowance, cutting forces decreased. For spindle speed, the trend of cutting force was increasing up to a critical point and then decreasing due to thermal softening.

Inconel 718, a nickel based alloys, addressed as difficult to cut material because of hard carbide particle, hardness, work hardening and low thermal conductivity. Improving the machinability characteristics of nickel based alloys is a major anxiety in aircraft, space vehicle and other manufacturing fields. This paper presents an experimental investigation in Laser assisted turning of Inconel 718 to determine the effects of laser cutting parameters on cutting temperature and cutting forces. This nickel alloy has a material hardness at 48 HRC and machined with TICN/Al2O3/TiN tool. This is employed for the manufacture of helicopter rotor blades and cryogenic storage tanks. The experiments were conducted at One-Factor-at-a-Time.The effects of laser cutting parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate, laser power and laser to work piece angle, on the cutting temperature and cutting force components, are critically analysed and the results are compared with unassisted machining of this alloy. The experiments are conducted by varying the cutting speed at three levels (50, 75, 100 m/min), feed rate (0.05, 0.075 0.1 mm/rev), laser power (1.25 kW, 1.5 kW, 1.75 kW) and at two level laser to work piece angle (60, 75°). At the optimal parametric combinationof laser power 1.5 kW with cutting speed of 75m/min, feed rate of 0.075 mm/min and laser to work piece angle 60°, the benefit of LAM was shown by 18%, 25% and 24% decrease in feed force (Fx), thrust force (Fy) and cutting force (Fz) as compared to those of the conventional machining. Examination of the machined surface hardness profiles showed no change under LAM and conventional machining.
