Tooling in the die and mould industry is subjected to high-wear high-temperature environments, which often leads premature failure of this high-added-value tooling. When severe damage occurs, an alternative replacing whole component consists repair by laser-directed energy deposition (L-DED). For that end, intermediate layers are commonly employed as buffer material, where introducing a functio...

Influence of initial surface roughness on friction and wear processes under fretting conditions was investigated experimentally. Rough surfaces (Ra=0.15-2.52 μm) were prepared on two materials: carbon alloy (AISI 1034) and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). Strong influence of initial surface roughness on friction and wear processes is reported for both tested materials. Lower coefficient of friction ...

Drilling is one of the fundamental operations in metal cutting industry. Torque and thrust force has a major influence on the tool life and machining economics. The present study mainly focus on the optimization of process parameters to reduce torque and thrust force on HSS drill and to improve the tool life. Investigations are carried on different work materials such as AA 6041, AISI 1040 and ...

In this work, the mechanical properties and microstructural features of an AISI 304L stainless steel in two presentations, bulk and fibers, were systematically studied in order to establish the relationship among microstructure, mechanical properties, manufacturing process and effect on sample size. The microstructure was analyzed by XRD, SEM and TEM techniques. The strength, Young's modulus an...

In this study, two different vegetable based cutting fluids developed from refined canola and sunflower oil and a commercial type semi-synthetic cutting fluid were carried out to determine optimum conditions for tool wear and forces during milling of AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel. Taguchi L9 (3) orthogonal array was used for the experiment plan. Cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and ...

The chemical composition, nanostructure and electronic structure of nanosized oxide scales naturally formed on the surface of AISI 316L stainless steel microfibres used for strengthening of composite materials have been characterised using a combination of scanning and transmission electron microscopy with energy-dispersive X-ray, electron energy loss and Auger spectroscopy. The analysis reveal...

In this paper, a methodology for work material constitutive model based calculations of forces, stress and temperature distributions in orthogonal machining are introduced. Oblique moving band heat source theory is utilized and combined with modified Oxley’s parallel shear zone theory. Non-uniform heat intensity at the tool-chip interface is obtained from the predicted stress distributions util...

The mechanical properties of medium carbon steel (0.36C) were investigated under two different quenching media (water and palm oil). The properties are: the strengths, impact and hardness of the material. The investigations centered on unheat treated, normalized; water and palm oil quenched, and tempered conditions. The tempering temperature is 200°C. An AISI steel of grade C1035 was used for c...

In this Data in Brief paper, a central composite experimental design was planned to collect the surface roughness of an end milling operation of AISI 1045 steel. The surface roughness values are supposed to suffer some kind of variation due to the action of several factors. The main objective here was to present a multivariate experimental design and data collection including control factors, n...

In this study, the average surface roughness values obtained when turning AISI 4140 grade tempered steel with a hardness of 51 HRC, were modeled using fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks (ANN) and multi-regression equations. Input variables consisted of cutting speed (V), feed rate (f) and depth of cut (a) while output variable was surface roughness (Ra). Fuzzy logic and ANN models were dev...
