Bimetallic parts are used in many industries for weight and cost reduction of workpieces working under high loads and wear. One application for this type of composite material is in automotive industry. In this work the tool wear and cutting forces in the face milling of bimetallic parts made of aluminum and cast iron were investigated. A356 and GG25 alloys that are common materials for bimetal...

In modern industry, milling is an important tool when a high material removal rate is required. Chatter detection in this situation is a crucial step for improving surface quality and reducing both noise and rapid wear of the cutting tool. This paper proposes a new methodology for the chatter detection in CNC milling machines. This methodology is based on vibratory signal analysis and artificia...

To solve the problems that the low rigidity thin-walled part is easy to deform in NC milling process and some parts of the complex surface is difficult to process, this paper points out the measures for increasing accuracy of thin-walled NC machining process from the selection of material and blank, the choice of machine tool, the determination and optimization of the clamping method, the choic...

In waterjet and laser milling, material is removed from a solid surface in a succession of layers to create a new shape, in a depth-controlled manner. The inverse problem consists of defining the control parameters, in particular, the two-dimensional beam path, to arrive at a prescribed freeform surface. Waterjet milling (WJM) and pulsed laser ablation (PLA) are studied in this paper, since a g...

Sculptured surface machining (SSM) is one of the continually used manufacturing processes for die/mold, aerospace(especially turbine blades), precision machine design, bio-medical devices and automotive industries. Developments of machining technologies for quality enhancement of machining results has become a very important fact in current real industry. Off-line feedrate adjusting is a new me...

RATIONALE Isotope analysis of wood is an important tool in dendrochronology and ecophysiology. Prior to mass spectrometry analysis, wood must be homogenized, and a convenient method involves a ball mill capable of milling samples directly in sample tubes. However, sample-tube plastic can contaminate wood during milling, which could lead to biological misinterpretations. METHODS We tested poss...

Machined surface quality determines the reliability, wear resistance and service life of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) workpieces. In this work, the formation mechanism of the surface topography and the machining defects of CFRPs are proposed, and the influence of milling parameters and fiber cutting angles on the surface quality of CFRPs is obtained, which can provide a reference for ...

objectives: mothers’ perception of their ability to parenting (maternal parenting self-efficacy) is a critical issue that influences their interactions with their preterm neonates. for better support of these mothers, a robust tool is needed which can measure mothers’ perception of their ability to understand and care for their preterm neonates as well as being sensitive to the various levels a...

Milling of fiber reinforced polymer composites is of great importance for integrated composites with other mating parts. Improper selection of cutting process parameters, excessive cutting forces and other machining conditions would result in rejection of components. Therefore, machining conditions are optimized to reduce the machining forces and damages. This work reports practical experiments...
