In waterjet and laser milling, material is removed from a solid surface in a succession of layers to create a new shape, in a depth-controlled manner. The inverse problem consists of defining the control parameters, in particular, the two-dimensional beam path, to arrive at a prescribed freeform surface. Waterjet milling (WJM) and pulsed laser ablation (PLA) are studied in this paper, since a g...

Milling is the mechanical process of removing material from a piece of stock through the use of a rapidly spinning circular milling tool in order to form some desired geometric shape. An important problem in computer-aided design and manufacturing is the automated generation of efficient milling plans for computerized numerically controlled (CNC) milling machines. Among the most common milling ...

L aboratory milling systems are used throughout the rice industry to 1) estimate the milling yield that may be expected of rice lots when milled in large-scale milling systems and 2) produce milled rice samples from which visual, functional, sensory and nutritional assessments of the rice lot can be made. This chapter presents factors that can affect the laboratory measurement of rice milling ...

This work presents a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) end mill with a new staggered structure for the milling of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic). The magnitude and direction of cutting force is decreased and changed by side-edge re-configuration of the structure. The flute and insert pocket of the staggered PCD end mill are designed considering the tool’s stiffness and welding process. The ...

whitening as one of the stages in rice processing is performed following dehusking. studies on performance of milling machines prevailent in mazandaran province, as the biggest rice producer province in iran, are essential and helpful in reducing rice losses. a research was undertaken to examine the effects of variety (tarom, hibrid, and fajr), milling machine (frictional and abrasive baed mill...

This work aims at studying the effect of the milling conditions on the microstructure and mechanical properties of a ZrB₂-5 vol% Si₃N₄ matrix reinforced with chopped Hi-Nicalon SiC fibers. Several composites were obtained using different milling conditions in terms of time, speed and type of milling media. The composites were prepared from commercial powders, ball milled, dried and shaped, and ...

In todays manufacturing industry, high-speed milling plays an important role. The main benefits of high-speed milling over conventional milling are the high material removal rates with relatively low cutting forces. The efficiency of high-speed milling is limited by the occurrence of regenerative chatter. Chatter is an undesired instability phenomenon, causing excessive tool vibrations, reduced...

This chapter presents factors that can affect the laboratory measurement of rice milling yield, focusing on the use of the McGill #2 rice ...

Nanocrystalline magnesium ferrite is synthesized by high-energy ball milling. The formation of nanocrystalline ferrite phase is observed after 3 h of milling and its content increases with milling time. The structural and microstructural evolution of the nanophase have been studied by X-ray powder diffraction and the Rietveld method. After 3 h of milling, ferrite phase (mixed spinel) nucleates ...

In the current context of miniaturization, micro-machining processes are in full expansion. One of them is micro-milling. Although micro-milling is based on the same principle as macro-milling, the phenomena of micro-cutting are not a simple scaling of macrocutting. A significant difference is the chip formation involving the phenomenon of minimum chip thickness. In micro-milling the depth of c...
