Chatter vibrations, occurring during cutting process, cause vibration between the cutting tool and workpiece, which deteriorates surface roughness and reduces tool life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of cutting parameters and tool construction on surface roughness and vibration in turning of aluminum alloy AA2024. A new design of cutting tool is proposed, which is fi...

The paper presents results of an analysis of acoustic emission (AE) signals captured in the course of laser cutting of a steel sheet, and the analysis of the signals characteristic of particular phenomena occurring after the cutting process. In the course of cutting, continuous signals, which are related to the quality achieved of the laser cut, are measured. After laser cutting characteristic ...

Predicting the main cutting force during turning is of great importance as it helps in setting the appropriate cutting parameters before machining starts.Again, optimization of cutting parameters is one of the most important elements in any process planning of metal parts as economy of machining operation plays a key role in gaining competitive advantage. This paper presents an experimental stu...

In the present work Taguchi method is used to optimize cutting parameters during dry turning of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel with AlTiCrN coated tool. The coating was deposited on fine-grained K-grade (ISO K-20) cemented carbide cutting insert using physical vapor deposition (PVD) technique. The turning parameters evaluated are cutting speed of 200 and 260 m/min, feed rate of 0.20 and 0....

As high-speed machining and unmanned machining become common, the demand for cutting-load regularization increases, so NC machining can be more ef®cient. To be presented is a simple cutting-load regularization method for pocket machining. As the conventional off-line approaches where cutting-load is predicted and cutting parameters are adjusted before actual cutting, the proposed method require...

The paper presents results of an analysis of acoustic emission (AE) measurement in laser cutting of a DC04 steel plate. Laser cutting was evaluated on the basis of monitoring the acoustic emission in the course of cutting and of an analysis of events occurring in the material after the completion of laser cutting. It was found that the cutting oxygen flow was the primary source of AE in laser c...

Helical milling operations are used to generate or enlarge boreholes by means of a milling tool. The bore diameter can be adjusted through the diameter of the helical path. The kinematics of helical milling on a three axis machine tool is analysed firstly. The relationships between processing parameters, cutting tool geometry characters with machined hole feature are formulated. The feed motion...

This paper presents a study the effect of nose radius (Rz-mm) on cutting force components and temperatures during the machining simulation in an orthogonal cutting process for titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The cutting process was performed at various nose radiuses (Rz-mm) while the depth of cut (d-mm), feed rate (fmm/tooth) and cutting speed (vc-m/ min) were remained constant. The main cutting fo...
