this work presents an experimental investigation of the influence of the six important machining parameters (tool nose radius, tool rake angle, feed rate, cutting speed, cutting environment (dry, wet and cooled) and depth of cut) on surface roughness & material removal rate in the machining unidirectional glass fiber reinforced plastics (ud-gfrp) composite using carbide (k10) cutting tool durin...

In this experimental study, three TiB2/Al metal matrix composites (MMCs) with 40 μm in mean size were produced using a melt stirring squeeze casting route. Test was carried out to find the parameters influencing surface roughness (Ra) and material removal rate (MRR) on machining the TiB2 reinforced Al-6063 composite materials. The orthogonal array, the signal-to-noise ratio, and analysis of var...

Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) can be economically machined with high-pressure coolant (HPC) supply. In this study, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed for the analysis and prediction of tool wear parameters when machining Ti-6Al-4V alloy with conventional flow and high-pressure coolant flow, up to 203 bar. Machining trials were conducted at different cutting conditions for both ...

In sheet metal forming (SMF), the major failure reason is galling. Galling is a process of different wear stages that leads to destruction of both the forming tool and the sheet metal working piece and is, because of that, of big economic importance for the SMF industries. Therefore, investigations and researches about how tool steels microstructure affect the tool steels galling resistance is ...

In this study, the effect of cladded tungsten carbide layer upon HSS - M2 tool steel on microstructure, hardness, and wear behavior has been studied in two cases without using the middle layer and using the middle layer of nickel. Tungsten Carbide cladded on HSS - M2 tool steel by Arc Weld ( SMAW ). The ASTM-G65 wear test was used to determine its application for use in the mineral indus...

Background: Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a well-established non-conventional machining process for the machining of electrically conductive and difficult-to-machine materials. But its applications are limited because of the slow machining rate and poor surface finish. Powder mixed EDM (PMEDM) is unitary of the recent progresses in the EDM process in which powder particles mixed in th...

during the past decade, polymer nanocomposites have emerged relatively as a new and rapidly developing class of composite materials and attracted considerable investment in research and development worldwide.direct machining of polymers can be an option for personalized products and for manufacturing product samples. to obtain high quality products and reduce machining costs, it is very importa...

The aim of the development is to select the optimum tool holder, carbide cutting tools, insert, feed rate, and turning speed for CNC lathe machine. The system is able to select the suitable tips tool based on the dimension, machining p...

The fast monitoring of tool wears by using various Cutting signals and the prediction models developed rapidly in recent years. Comparatively, various wear forecast models based on artificial neural networks (ANN) perform much better in accuracy and speediness than the conventional prediction models. Combining the prominent dynamic properties of back propagation neural network (BPNN) with the e...
