The technology of the artificial neural network (ANN) was applied in the research of supercritical material cutting. Two-dimensional Gaussian surfaces of the three cutting elements and workpiece surface hardness had been established fitting through JMP software. Base on the orthogonal milling experiments, the rules of cutting forces variation were forecasted, as well as the effect to the hardne...

Compression and crevasses are common cutting artefacts in cryo-ultramicrotomy of vitreous sections. They can be reduced or suppressed under optimal cutting conditions. In the present study, compression and thickness were measured for different cutting speeds and knife angles. It was found that compression decreased with feed and that crevasses appeared only above a certain thickness. The optima...

An on-going comparative study of wear rates and tool lives under varying cutting parameters is presented in this paper, along with results indicating the abilities and limitations of the hard turning process to produce finished surfaces with acceptable roughness and integrity. To date, the study has consisted of thirteen combinations of machining conditions. The tests were performed with four d...

This research work presents the results of an experimental investigation of cryogenically treated, coated and uncoated tungsten carbide cutting tool inserts in turning of AISI 1040 steel. Three different tungsten carbide inserts coated with aluminum chromium nitride (AlCrN), titanium nitride (TiN) and uncoated WC were taken and treated cryogenically. Experiments were performed to evaluate the c...
