Process Optimization for Machining of Hardened Steels

On machining of hardened AISI D2 steel with PCBN tools

This paper describes an experimental investigation on machining of a difficult-to-cut material, AISI D2 steel of hardness 62 HRC with PCBN tools. It was found that the most feasible feeds and speeds fall in the ranges 0.08–0.20 mm/rev and 70–120 m/min, respectively and that most of the tested PCBN tools reached the end of life mainly due to flank wear. The highest acceptable values of tool life...

Multi-objective optimization and analysis of electrical discharge machining process during micro-hole machining of D3 die steel employing salt mixed de-ionized water dielectric

Correct selection of manufacturing condition is one of the most important aspects which should be considered in the majority of manufacturing processes,  particularly in the process related to advanced machining process like electrical discharge machining. In electrical discharge machining (EDM), dielectric fluid plays an important role since machining characteristics are greatly influenced by ...

Finite Element Simulation and Experiment of Chip Formation Process during High Speed Machining of AISI 1045 Hardened Steel

As an advanced manufacturing technology which has been developed rapidly in recent years, high speed machining is widely applied in many industries. The chip formation during high speed machining is a complicated material deformation and removing process. In research area of high speed machining, the prediction of chip morphology is a hot and difficult topic. A finite element method based on th...

Experimental research of chip formation mechanism during high speed machining of hardened steel

The development of chip morphology, critical cutting conditions of serrated chip formation and cutting forces were observed and measured by high speed machining experiment for 30CrNi3MoV hardened steel. Results show that the cutting speed and rake angle are leading factors to influence chip morphology and cutting forces. With the increase of cutting speed, the continuous band chip transforms in...
