Titanium and nickel alloys represent a significant metal portion of the aircraft structural and en components and the residual stresses induced by machining are very critical due to safety sustainability concerns. This paper presents experimental investigations and finite element simulat on turning of Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy and IN100 nickel based alloy with uncoated and TiAlN co tools. Face t...

Titanium alloys have been widely used in the aerospace, biomedical and automotive industries because of their good strength-to-weight ratio and superior corrosion resistance. However, it is very difficult to machine them due to their poor machinability. When machining titanium alloys with conventional tools, the tool wear rate progresses rapidly, and it is generally difficult to achieve a cutti...

The goal of this project is to build and deploy the model based control strategies for machining processes and systems of these processes. With the advances in sensing and real-time control technology coupled with Open Architecture Control (OAC) CNC systems, there is a great potential of deploying such control algorithms for various aspects of machining process. Some of these areas include work...

Heat generation is a critical issue in grinding. If the grinding point generates significant heat, dimensional and shape accuracy may decrease due to thermal deformation, machined surface deteriorate burn. Therefore, monitoring temperature during important obtain ideal machining results. In this research, we develop new method measure wheel in-process machining. The proposed measures of through...

High speed machining (HSM) produces parts with substantially higher fatigue strength; increased subsurface micro-hardness and plastic deformation, mostly due to the ploughing of the cutting tool associated with residual stresses, and can have far more superior surface properties than surfaces generated by grinding and polishing. In this paper, a dynamics explicit Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (...

In this abstract we present a novel "spirit level"-sensor derived from a well-known thermal flow-sensor. The operation principle is based on the temperature difference of two identical heaters, caused by buoyancy of air. Heating as well as temperature sensing of the structures is carried out using temperature dependent platinum resistors. Due to its simplicity the sensor is easily fabricated in...

This paper is an endeavour to critically appraise the existing methods used for real-time simulation of machine tool dynamics with the emphasis on modelling and simulation of the dynamic behaviour of CNC machine tool feed drives and mechatronic systems for machine tools. The actual approaches for linking the feed drive models with structural models for CNC machine tools are examined. Also the f...

A virtual machine tool (VMT) is presented in this two-part paper. In Part 1, the analytical foundation for a virtual machining system is developed, which is envisioned as the foundation for a comprehensive simulation environment capable of predicting the outcome of cutting processes. The VMT system undergoes “pseudo-real machining”, before actual cutting with a CNC machine tool takes place, to ...

the applications of electrochemical machining are increasing because of increasing requests of industries for materials with high strengh and high hardness. regular ecm uses a tool with spicified profile shape that is similar to final shape of workpiece. in this reasearch a nozzle that delivers electrolyte to the machining gap is used for machining cylinderical workpieces. by moving the electro...
