the plain carbon steel “ck45” has relatively well mechanical and metallurgical properties and low cost. the purpose of this research was the property evaluation of this steel on abrasive wear and impact for using in plows and other tillage tools. tillage tool should resist in abrasive wear and impact simultaneously. several heat treatments were done on specimens of this steel. a standard test d...

In this paper, wavelet transforms and fuzzy techniques are used to monitor tool breakage and wear conditions in real time according to the measured spindle and feed motor currents, respectively. First, the continuous and discrete wavelet transforms are used to decompose the spindle and feed ac servo motor current signals to extract signal features so as to detect the breakage of drills successf...

Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is widely used process in the production of mould / dies, aerospace, automobile and electronics industries where intricate complex shapes need to be machined in very hard materials. The selection of the AISI 64430 was made taking into account its wide range of applications in the industrial field: defense, pharmaceutical, aerospace, shipbuilding industries e...

A high strength nickel chromium alloy (50Cr-50Ni-Nb alloy), commonly referred to as IN-657, is specifically used for components in furnaces which are fired by low grade fuel oils containing high levels of vanadium, sodium and sulphur. The purpose of this study is to experimentally investigatethe effect of machining parameters on machinability in turning of Inconel 657. The considered parameters...

The aim of this study is the modelling and analysis of tool wear on cryogenically treated CNMG120408SMRH13A inserts. Cryogenic treatment is carried out at -196°C for 48 hours, followed by tempering at 200°C for 2 hours. The AISI4340 steel is machined with cryogenically treated inserts by the turning process. Parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, are selected as the inpu...

In this paper, an adaptive torque controller for friction stir welding (FSW) that can estimate parameters such as probe radius which may be changing throughout the welding process is presented. Implementing an adaptive controller with this capability would be of interest to industry sectors in which FSW is performed on high melting point alloys or metal matrix composites (MMC). Welding these ma...

The wear of cutting tool degrades the quality of the product in the manufacturing processes. The on line monitoring of the cutting tool wear level is very necessary to prevent the deterioration of the quality of machining. Unfortunately there is not a direct manner to measure the cutting tool wear on line. Consequently we must adopt an indirect method where wear will be estimated from the measu...

A machine tool utilisation rate can be improved by an advanced condition monitoring system using modern sensor and signal processing techniques. A drilling test and analysis program for indirect tool wear measurement forms the basis of this thesis. For monitoring the drill wear a number of monitoring methods such as vibration, acoustic emission, sound, spindle power and axial force were tested....
