In this study, a methodology has been developed with the objective of evaluating the surface roughness obtained during turning processes by measuring the signals detected by a force sensor under the same cutting conditions. In this way, the surface quality achieved along the process is correlated to several parameters of the cutting forces (thrust forces, feed forces and cutting forces), so the...

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 ...

This paper presents a Kalman filter designed for a cutting force measurement system. The cutting force measurement system is used to measure cutting forces for meso-milling applications. Due to the small magnitude of the cutting forces generated from the meso-milling process, the measurement results are easily distorted by the noise that exists in the measurement system. The object of the Kalma...

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...

An analytical finite element technique was developed for predicting the thrust force and torque in drilling with twist drills. The approach was based on representing the cutting forces along the cutting lips as a series of oblique sections. Similarly, cutting in the chisel region was treated as orthogonal cutting with different cutting speeds depending on the radial location. For each section, ...

The development of chip morphology, critical cutting conditions of serrated chip formation and cutting forces were observed and measured by high speed machining experiment for 30CrNi3MoV hardened steel. Results show that the cutting speed and rake angle are leading factors to influence chip morphology and cutting forces. With the increase of cutting speed, the continuous band chip transforms in...

This paper presents the prediction of micro-milling forces using the finite element method (FE). An FE model of orthogonal micro-cutting with round cutting edge is developed. The cutting force coefficients are identified from a series of FE simulations at a range of cutting edge radii and chip loads. The identified cutting force coefficients are used to simulate micro-milling forces. The simula...

Advanced manufacturing systems often caters to rapidly changing product specification determination by the continuously increasing productivity, flexibility and quality demands. The estimation of cutting forces is mandatory to select tools and accessories for machining. Complex interrelationships exist between process parameters and these forces. In the present work, the applicability and relat...
