Nickel-Titanium (Ni-Ti) alloys are very difficult-to-machine materials causing notable manufacturing problems due to their unique mechanical properties, including superelasticity, high ductility, and severe strain-hardening. In this framework, the aim of this paper is to assess the machinability of Ni-Ti alloys with reference to turning processes in order to realize a reliable and robust in-pro...

In the present paper the chatter instability of variable speed machining is studied. Though, there exist numerical methods for the computation of the stability lobes for variable speed machining, especially in turning processes the potential of an active spindle speed variation for chatter suppression is mostly unexploited. In the case of a slowly time-varying spindle speed, which is practicabl...

Conventional machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing, in which a collection of material-working processes utilizing power-driven machine tools are used to remove undesired material to achieve a desired geometry. This paper presents an approach for comparison between turning center and vertical machining center by optimization of cutting parameters at cylindrical workpieces leading to m...

Abstract—The machinability of workpieces (AISI 1045 Steel, AA2024 aluminum alloy, A48-class30 gray cast iron) in turning operation has been carried out using different types of cutting tool (conventional, cutting tool with holes in toolholder and cutting tool filled up with composite material) under dry conditions on a turning machine at different stages of spindle speed (630-1000 rpm), feed ra...

Research during the past several years has established the effectiveness of acoustic emission (AE)-based sensing methodologies for machine condition analysis and process monitoring. AE has been proposed and evaluated for a variety of sensing tasks as well as for use as a technique for quantitative studies of manufacturing processes. This paper reviews briefly the research on AE sensing of tool ...

This paper presents an analytical approach for modeling of turn-milling which is a promising cutting process combining two conventional machining operations; turning and milling. This relatively new technology could be an alternative to turning for improved productivity in many applications but especially in cases involving hard-to-machine material or large work diameter. Intermittent nature of...

This paper introduces a dynamic cutting force model for turning of slender workpieces, as well as experimental results related to the frequency response of the workpiece in turning. The model is based on a flexible workpiece and rigid machine tool, and a workpiece displacement dependent cutting force. The model is described and studied theoretically as well as experimentally. The experimental s...

Hard turning is the latest technology and is used to turn hard materials by using cutting tools like CBN and PCBN. Certain hard materials like titanium, Inconel and stainless steel are pronounced as difficult to cut materials. The superior cutting tools effectively machine such hard materials and produces desirable surface roughness with less tool wear. The present research was carried on hard ...

A Diamond Turning Machine (DTM) can fabricate components with extremely high precision and high quality surface finish characteristics. Existing commercial controllers are limited in their ability to support high performance machining and related advanced control algorithms. Evolving enhancements to the functional capability and control algorithms of a DTM require increased performance and flex...

It is commonly accepted that machine translation is a more complex task than part of speech tagging. But how much more complex? In this paper we make an attempt to develop a general framework and methodology for computing the informational and/or processing complexity of NLP applications and tasks. We define a universal framework akin to a Turning Machine that attempts to fit (most) NLP tasks i...
