whereas in electrical discharge machining (edm) the heat flux entering the workpiece is extremely high, the fourier heat conduction model may fails. this article reports on determination of temperature distribution in the workpiece due to edm using non-fourier heat conduction model. equations are solved by deriving the numerical solution. the temperature layers and profiles of sample calculatio...

High-speed machining offers several advantages such as increased flexibility and productivity for discrete-part manufacturing. However, excessive heat generation and resulting high temperatures on the tool and workpiece surfaces in high-speed machining leads to a shorter tool life and poor part quality, especially if the tool edge geometry and cutting conditions were not selected properly. In t...

Abrasive flow machining also known as abrasive flow deburring or extrude honing, is an interior surface finishing process characterized by flowing an abrasive-laden fluid through a work piece. This fluid is typically very viscous, having the consistency of putty, or dough. In this paper, the main purpose of the process is to investigate the surface finishing of die steel with the use of abrasiv...

The use of a minimum quantity of lubrication (MQL) with extremely low consumption of lubricant in machining processes has been reported as a technologically and environmentally feasible alternative to conventional flood cooling. In hot machining, the external heat source is applied during machining that will assist to increase machining performance. Many external heating techniques are availabl...

The application of conventional cutting fluids in machining operations is harmful and not eco-friendly. In this context, the present work focuses on environmental friendly cutting fluids such as vegetable oil based cutting fluids (VBCFs). The objective of this work is to determine the influence of vegetable oil based cutting fluids (sesame and coconut oil) with extreme pressure (EP) additive on...

One of the main goals of the metal-mechanical industries is the reduction of the production costs through the productivity increase. In the attempt to reach this goals, many researchers have been used the hot machining method. This method consists, basically, in the heating of the work piece hundreds of degrees Celsius above room temperature with aid of an external source of heat. Thus, the red...

one of the major problems facing the aircraft industry is the machining of the engine parts. amongst the numerous parts in a jet engine are intricate parts made of special alloys for high temperature service, namely nickel,chromium and titanium alloys. these alloys are usually very difficult to machine, which creates problems in this respect. the necessity of quality control in each stage of pr...

In the new global economy, consumption has become a central issue for many fields of industries. This project work studied on the effectiveness of pulse duration of supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) in machining performance in terms of cutting temperature, cutting force and surface roughness in turning AISI 1045 medium carbon steel by uncoated cemented carbide insert. Pulse mode reduces the ...

The use of titanium and its alloys has increased in various industries recently, because of their superior properties of these alloys. Titanium alloys are generally classified as difficult to machine materials because of their thermo-mechanical properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and low thermal conductivity. Laser Assisted Machining (LAM) improves the machinability of high strengt...

Finite element modeling (FEM) of machining is a widely applied way to get information about the phenomena occurring during the cutting process. However, the results have to be validated by real data collected by cutting experiments. We have realized a machining experiment focusing on temperature and tool-wear. The paper introduces some results and compares them with the FEM outcomes.
