As an advanced manufacturing technology which has been developed rapidly in recent years, high speed machining is widely applied in many industries. The chip formation during high speed machining is a complicated material deformation and removing process. In research area of high speed machining, the prediction of chip morphology is a hot and difficult topic. A finite element method based on th...

The current experimental study is to investigate the effects of process parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on performance characteristics (surface roughness, machining force and flank wear) in hard turning of AISI 4340 steel with multilayer CVD (TiN/TiCN/Al2O3) coated carbide insert. Combined effects of cutting parameter (v, f, d) on performance outputs (Ra, Fm and VB) are e...

Abstract. Tool wear sensing plays an important role in the optimisation of tool exchange and tip geometry compensation during automated machining in flexible manufacturing system. The focus of this work is to develop a reliable method to estimate flank wear during end milling process. A neural-fuzzy scheme is applied to perform one-step-ahead prediction of flank wear from cutting force signals ...

This paper presents a method for optimizing the machining parameters in rough turning processes to control the vibrations and deformations and minimize the production time per component under practical constraints. The optimization model is formulated, in which piecewise constraints are introduced based on the varying length-to-diameter (L/D ) ratio of the workpiece. The optimization problem is...

To verify the feasibility and efficiency of rotary-percussive drilling assisted by waterjets in very hard rocks, experiments on the Ž . performance of polycrystalline diamond compact PDC cutters resisting different combined loads of static thrust, impact, cutting and waterjets on Missouri red granite and Halston limestone were investigated. The experiments were conducted by means of a Ž . drop ...

Experimental measurement of the cutting forces in milling processes can be a useful tool to validate standard and non-conventional milling models to be adopted in most industrial applications. As an example, such models can be used to design the machine tool components and fixtures, to choose the technological process parameters and to define process monitoring and diagnostic tools such as moni...

Database system is mainly created for superhard cutting. In the paper, the processing time is considered as the objective function based on the issue needs, the establishing of the mathematical model of the cutting database system mainly takes cutting force, power tools, precision machining and tool life as constraints. And the database develops through the development software VS2008 and SQL S...

A high strength nickel chromium alloy (50Cr-50Ni-Nb alloy), commonly referred to as IN-657, is specifically used for components in furnaces which are fired by low grade fuel oils containing high levels of vanadium, sodium and sulphur. The purpose of this study is to experimentally investigatethe effect of machining parameters on machinability in turning of Inconel 657. The considered parameters...
