Nanomaterials are gaining extensive application in the manufacturing sector due to favorable properties. Its rapid growth in highly sensitive, robust, and lightweight sensors and biomedical components has attracted considerable attention worldwide. Nanomaterial uses with fiber-reinforced polymeric material have increased significantly. In order to manufacture structural components in a near-net shape, laminated nanocomposite machining is required. Due to the need for product assembly in mechanical structures, Milling is the primarily machining process in the manufacturing industry to create slots, channels, etc. The present work optimized the process variables affecting the Milling process by adopting the minimize criterion to control the delamination factor using the Taguchi method. The process parameters include cutting speed, feed, depth of cut, and filler material Graphene Oxide. The optimized conditions were found as cutting speed (Vc) 37.12 m/min, spindle feed (F) 80 mm/min, depth of cut (D) 0.5 mm and filler material Graphene Oxide (G) 1 wt.%. The percentage contribution of the process parameter on the delamination factor (Fd) was determined using the Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) method, and it has been found the feed rate (62.60%) is the most influencing factor. The delamination factor obtained in the confirmatory experiments carried out under optimized conditions was found lower than the Taguchi design test runs. The findings indicate that process parameter optimization under the given set of experimental conditions is effective for a manufacturing environment.

Nimonic C-263 is predominantly used in the manufacturing of heat susceptible intricate components in the gas turbine, aircraft, and automotive industries. Owing to its high strength, poor thermal conductivity, the superalloy is difficult to machine and causes rapid tool wear during conventional machining mode. Moreover, the unpleasant machining noise produced during machining severely disrupts the tool engineer’s concentration, thereby denying a precise and environment friendly machining operation. Hence, close dimensional accuracy, superior machined surface quality along with production economy, and pleasant work environment for the tool engineers is the need of an hour of the current manufacturing industry. To counter such issues, the present work attempts to compare and explore the machinability of two of the most popular machining strategies like minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and cryogenic machining process during turning of Nimonic C-263 work piece in order to achieve an ideal machining environment. The machining characteristics are compared in terms of surface roughness (SR), power consumption (P), machining noise (S), nose wear (NW), and cutting forces (CF) to evaluate the impact of machining variables like cutting speed (Vc), feed (f), and depth of cut (ap) with a detailed parametric study and technical justification. Yet again, an investigation is conducted to compare both the machining strategies in terms of qualitative responses like chip morphology, total machining cost, and carbon emissions. The study revealed that cryogenic machining strategy is adequately proficient over MQL machining to deliver energy proficient and gratifying work environment for the tool engineers by reducing the cost of machining and improving their work efficiency.

Tool materials used in ultramicrotomy are glass, developed by Latta and Hartmann (1) and diamond, introduced by Fernandez-Moran (2). While diamonds produce more good sections per knife edge than glass, they are expensive; require careful mounting and handling; and are time consuming to clean before and after usage, purchase from vendors (3-6 months waiting time), and regrind. Glass offers an easily accessible, inexpensive material ($0.04 per knife) with very high compressive strength (3) that can be employed in microtomy of metals (4) as well as biological materials. When the orthogonal machining process is being studied, glass offers additional advantages. Sections of metal or plastic can be dried down on the rake face, coated with Au-Pd, and examined directly in the SEM with no additional handling (5). Figure 1 shows aluminum chips microtomed with a 75° glass knife at a cutting speed of 1 mm/sec with a depth of cut of 1000 Å lying on the rake face of the knife.

Surface quality has always been an important goal in the manufacturing industry, as it is not only related to the achievement of appropriate geometrical tolerances but also plays an important role in the tribological behavior of the surface as well as its resistance to fatigue and corrosion. Usually, in order to achieve sufficiently high surface quality, process parameters, such as cutting speed and feed, are regulated or special types of cutting tools are used. In the present work, an alternative strategy for slot milling is adopted, namely, trochoidal milling, which employs a more complex trajectory for the cutting tool. Two series of experiments were initially conducted with traditional and trochoidal milling under various feed and cutting speed values in order to evaluate the capabilities of trochoidal milling. The findings showed a clear difference between the two milling strategies, and it was shown that the trochoidal milling strategy is able to provide superior surface quality when the appropriate process parameters are also chosen. Finally, the effect of the depth of cut, coolant and trochoidal stepover on surface roughness during trochoidal milling was also investigated, and it was found that lower depths of cut, the use of coolant and low values of trochoidal stepover can lead to a considerable decrease in surface roughness.

In any type of machining process the surface roughness plays an important role. In these the product is judge on the basis of their (surface roughness) surface finish. In machining process there are four main cutting parameter i.e. cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, spindle speed. For obtaining good surface finish, we can use the hot turning process. In hot turning process we heat the workpiece material and perform turning process multiple time and obtain the reading. The taguchi method is design to perform an experiment and L18 experiment were performed. The result is analyzed by using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method. The result Obtain by this method may be useful for many other researchers.

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.

These days, power consumption and energy related issues are very hot topics of research especially for machine tooling process industries because of the strict environmental regulations and policies. Hence, the present paper discusses the application of such an advanced machining process i.e., ultrasonic assisted turning (UAT) process with the collaboration of nature inspired algorithms to determine the ideal solution. The cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and frequency of cutting tool were considered as input variables and the machining performance of Nimonic-90 alloy in terms of surface roughness and power consumption has been investigated. Then, the experimentation was conducted as per the Taguchi L9 orthogonal array and the mono as well as bi-objective optimizations were performed with standard particle swarm and hybrid particle swarm with simplex methods (PSO-SM). Further, the statistical analysis was performed with well-known analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. After that, the regression equation along with selected boundary conditions was used for creation of fitness function in the subjected algorithms. The results showed that the UAT process was more preferable for the Nimconic-90 alloy as compared with conventional turning process. In addition, the hybrid PSO-SM gave the best results for obtaining the minimized values of selected responses.

Designing the optimal control for a machine tool necessitates a mathematical model of the cutting process. In the present paper, a flank-wear model was developed for a carbide tool used in steel turning. It yields the relation between the process parameters (cutting speed, feed and depth of cut) on the one hand, and the width of the wear land on the other. In the second stage—the optimization proper—the problem consists of optimizing a non-linear system with the initial, and part of the final, conditions known, and the terminal time not given explicitly. Complexity was reduced by converting from time- to path-derivatives, and the problem was solved using the gradient method, yielding cost differences which are negligible compared with the conventional method. To complete the picture, a motor control system was sought minimizing the error in obeying the speed change command on the one hand, and the path error during simultaneous operation of several feed spindles on the other.

Temperature generated on the tool-workpiece has significant effect on the cutting performance. This paper present the tool-workpiece temperature result recorded by thermal imaging camera with various cutting parameter applied. The machining was done on ASSAB 720 steel workpiece for continuous and interrupted cutting. Generally, as the cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut increases, the tool-workpiece temperature for both continuous and interrupted cutting will increase. Specifically, cutting speed increase from 250m/min to 350 m/min, tool-workpiece temperature increase about 25% at each increment level. The tool-workpiece temperature increase about 16% when the feed rate increases from 0.1 mm/rev to 0.2mm/rev. While, 27% increment was recorded when feed rate increase to 0.4 mm/rev. With the increase of depth of cut, the tool-workpiece temperature recorded an increment between 50oC to 65oC for both continuous and interrupted cutting.

Some machining process requires coolant to reduce the cutting temperature and helps to flush away the chips from the cutting zone. However, conventional flood coolant possesses some issues towards workers and the environment, regarding health and waste management. The implementation of Minimal Quantity Lubrication (MQL) as an alternative technique seems to be promising although the effectiveness of this technique were influenced by several factor. In turning process for instance, the distance of nozzle to the cutting zone contributes to the variation of machining performance. This study is to compare the effect on cutting performance between two internal MQL nozzle designs. The cutting tool holder were modified to have two internal MQL oil channel. The oil channel design were tested and the performance was evaluated in terms of cutting speed and cutting temperature for different cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The result shows that the single channel performs better in terms of cutting force while dual channel significantly improve the cutting temperature.

Several studies have demonstrated the ability of laser for micro-channels fabrication. There are some important aspects that must be considered to use laser for machining process, such as machining method, type of laser and interaction between laser and workpiece. In this research, CO2 laser machine was used as a tool to fabricate a micro-channes on acrylic. Some parameters that can influence the outcome of the cuts were setup, which are focus distance on Z axis, laser power, cutting speed, and the repetition of cutting process (number of pass). Cutting results were width and depth of cut. Observation was made by using digital microscope as measuring tool, and measurement result was analyzed by using Anova method. The results of the analysis shows that the parameter of laser power has a dominant influence on depth of cut, and then parameter of cutting speed and number of pass. By determining width and depth of the cut based on given parameters, it will be easier to take a shape and size on micro-channel fabrication.
