Prediction of the production rate of the cutting dimensional stone process is crucial, especially when chain saw machines are used. The cutting dimensional rock process is generally a complex issue with numerous effective factors including variable and unreliable conditions of the rocks and cutting machines. The Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH) type of neural network and Radial Basis Functi...

The dynamic performances of head cutter for boom-type excavator were researched, and the corresponding dynamic equilibrium equations were derived. Based on the explicit dynamics analysis techniques of the Software ANSYS/LS-DYNA, transient dynamic analysis was carried out to simulate the cutting process of head cutter, and the main kinetic parameters were achieved. Finally, the cutting performan...

High speed machining (HSM) may produces parts with substantially higher fatigue strength; increased subsurface micro-hardness and plastic deformation, mostly due to the ploughing of the round cutting tool edge associated with induced stresses, and can have far more superior surface properties than surfaces generated by grinding and polishing. Cutting edge roundness may induce stress and tempera...

In this study, the application of gray relational analysis (GRA) and Taguchi method in multi-criteria process parameters selection of turning operation has been investigated. The process responses under study are material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (SR); in turn, the input parameters include cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius of the cutting tool. The proposed a...

Micromilling process is used for fabrication and manufacturing of miniaturized components. Very high spindle rotational speeds are required in micromilling to reduce the chip load and to counter the low flexural rigidity of the micro-tool while machining hard materials. Apart from the high rotational speed (>100,000 rpm) which can excite dynamic instability, the dynamic force variation in micro...

The development of new cutting tool materials during the last few years is based mainly on submicron hardmetal substrates as well as on new PVD and CVD coatings. The development of submicron and nanopowders with higher strength and higher fracture toughness solves problems in machining high-temp alloys, hard materials, and in dry cutting. Based on physical models used to calculate stress in the...

Taguchi's design of experiment is utilized to optimize the process parameters in turning operation with dry environment. Three parameters, cutting speed (v), feed (f), and depth of cut (d), with three different levels are taken for the responses like material removal rate (MRR) and surface roughness (R a ). The machining is conducted with Taguchi L9 orthogonal array, and based on the S/N analys...

Metal cutting processes are important due to increased consumer demands for quality metal cutting related products (more precise tolerances and better product surface roughness) that has driven the metal cutting industry to continuously improve quality control of metal cutting processes. This paper presents optimum surface roughness by using milling mould aluminium alloys (AA6061-T6) with Respo...

Ultrasonic vibration cutting (UVC) is an advanced machining method used to improve performance and surface quality in the manufacturing industry. However, separation characteristic disappears when speed exceeds maximum speed, which limits its wide application high-speed machining. Therefore, this study finite element (FEM) (HVC) processing of titanium alloys. High-speed a precision with smaller...
