In metal cutting, the magnitude of the temperature at the tool-chip interface is a function of the cutting parameters. This temperature directly affects production; therefore, increased research on the role of cutting temperatures can lead to improved machining operations. In this study, tool temperature was estimated by simultaneous temperature measurement employing both a K-type thermocouple ...

The use of cutting fluids in machining operations is being carefully scrutinized by industry for several reasons, including its overall cost in the manufacturing process and its impact on worker health. Given the concerns associated with the use of cutting fluids, a number of experimental and analytical research efforts are being conducted to gain an understanding of the role of these fluids in...

An experimental study has been performed to investigate the capabilities of dry, conventional and high pressure jet assisted turning of two different hard-to-machine materials, namely hard-chromed and surface hardened Ck45 and Inconel 718. The capabilities of different hard turning procedures are compared by means of chip breakability, technological windows, cooling lubrication efficiency, and ...

Optimization of cutting parameters is important to achieve high quality in the machining process, especially where more complex multiple performance optimizations are required. The present investigation focuses on the multiple performance optimizations of machining characteristics of unidirectional glass fiber reinforced plastic (UD-GFRP) composites. The cutting parameters used for the experime...

The configuration of an autonomous decentralized manufacturing system using multi agent technology is proposed to get more flexibility. In this digital factory, all elements such as machine tool, assembly machine, AGV, and product are installed as agents. The product agents take the initiatives in the system. When a blank workpiece is put on the shop floor, the product agent is dynamically gene...
