The selection of the most suitable machining process for a given machining application is not straightforward and requires consideration of a number of techno-technological and economic criteria. Therefore is often viewed as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). This paper is focused on multi-criteria economic analysis of various machining processes by applying recently developed MCDM method...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a practical review of metal working fluids and their implications to the machining practice. Despite their widespread use and applications, there are several scientific and economic factors that call for an investigation of current practices and development of new approaches. Design/methodology/approach – There are numerous methods that diverge ...

General cost for CNC machining and the associated energy cost are set in the context of making economic and environmental improvements. This creates an incentive for manufacturing companies to investigate the energy efficiency of manufacturing processes. The paper presents a costing model, based on machining experiments. The model is accompanied with an industry based case to estimate the cost ...

This proposed method has to design and fabricate the Multipurpose Jig and Fixture, for that component which has been to reduce the manufacturing cycle time. When the component produced on a small size previously this is to produces the large quantities of requirements. The selective components requires for machining operations such as step milling, angle milling & boring and reaming. The few op...

Flood cooling is primarily used to cool and lubricate the cutting tool and workpiece interface during machining process. The adverse health effects caused by the use of coolants and the potential economic advantages of greener machining methods are drawing manufacturer’s attention to adapt and develop new methods of using lubricants. Microlubrication serves as an alternative to flood cooling by...

Machining operations of aluminum structural parts are typically carried out under high feeds and high cutting speeds. These cutting conditions exert thermal and mechanical loads on the workpiece, which cause changes in the subsurface material. Residual stresses belong to the machining induced changes and can lead to considerable rejection rates as a consequence of part distortion. Due to the si...

Abstract—Water miscible cutting fluids are conventionally used to lubricate and cool the machining zone. But issues related to health hazards, maintenance and disposal costs have limited their usage, leading to application of Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL). To increase the effectiveness of MQL, nanocutting fluids are proposed. In the present work, water miscible nanographite cutting fluids ...

Micro lubrication or also known as minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) serves as an alternative to flood cooling by reducing the volume of cutting fluid used in the machining process; but not without significant health concerns. Flood cooling is primarily used to cool and lubricate the cutting tool and work piece interface during machining process. The adverse health effects caused by the use of...

Subtractive manufacturing (CNC machining) has high quality of geometric and material properties but is slow, costly and infeasible in some cases; additive manufacturing (RP) is just the opposite. Total automation and hence speed is achieved in RP by compromising on quality. Hybrid Layered Manufacturing (HLM) developed at IIT Bombay combines the best features of both these approaches. It uses ar...

in this research using statistical analysis the effect of machining parameters such as cutting velocity, feed rate, and tool type on machining power (p m ) in machining process of en-ac 48000 aluminum alloy has been studied. a taguchi l 27 standard array has been utilized as the most economical array to evaluate the factors and their interaction. en-ac 48000 alloy is frequently used in automoti...
