This optimization investigation focused on the reinforced metal matrix composite of aluminium alloy. Novel of this work is to fabricate the AA6066 composite with HSS and Cu, continually conduct machining tests, and evaluate the tool wear, surface roughness, and thrust force of the stir-casted specimens. The aluminium composite has 90 percentage of AA6066 alloy reinforcement with six percentage of high-speed steel and four percentage of copper alloy made by the casting method. The fabricated composites’ turning parameters were optimized through the Taguchi method. The turning operation can be done with the help of the normal lathe with the CBN insert tool. The operation parameters such as feed, depth of cut, and steam pressure of the cutting fluid were considered with three different equal intervals in each parameter. In this investigation, the L9 orthogonal array method is used to identify the optimum values of the turning parameters among the considered machining parameters concerning the response such as wear on the turning tool and thrust forces created on machining. The outcome based on the parameters was identified and mentioned as the rank order for individual and combination of all responses with different conditions. Then, the separate and combined optimized input parameters were provided as the conclusion.


During the past ten years extensive developments have been made in engineering workshop practice and carbide tools have been increasingly employed to expedite production. Under certain conditions these tools can be operated at speeds considerably in excess of those possible with the most modern high-speed steel tools. Sufficient experience is available to show that for the satisfactory working of carbide tools it is necessary to ensure uniform cutting speeds, rigidity of the work and machine, together with freedom from chatter or vibration. High speeds and fine feeds lend themselves to the establishment of these conditions. But the economic range of utility of these tools has been somewhat limited and ill-defined, and the Cutting Tools Research Committee was of the opinion that more complete information should be made available for members. A Carbide Tools Subcommittee was, therefore, appointed, the immediate object of which was to inquire into the present state of development in the manufacture and use of carbide tools. To this end information has been sought of manufacturers and many users of carbide tools and a summary made of the published literature on the subject. The information gleaned from these various sources has been embodied in the present report. The subject matter has been classified for convenience under the following heads: (1) the manufacture and physical properties of the cemented carbides; (2) preliminary tests of tips; (3) the shank and method of securing the tip; (4) grinding and preparation of the cutting edge; (5) tool angles; (6) tip and shank size and shape; (7) the disposition of the tool relative to the work; (8) the cutting fluid; (9) chip disposal; (10) cutting tests to determine the relations between speeds, feeds, and depths of cut; (11) some speeds, feeds, and cuts recommended by makers and users and cutting data; and (12) general information. The Subcommittee was not satisfied that the report reveals the latest practice with carbide tools and recommended that an independent experimental investigation be instituted. The Research Advisory Committee approved of the recommendation of the Carbide Tools Subcommittee and recommended that the report, in its present form, be presented at a General Meeting of the Institution in the hope that further information could be elicited in the discussion, and opinion obtained as to the desirability of embarking on an experimental inquiry and the possibility of obtaining means to prosecute the research.

Tool-wear and tool-life characteristics of a series of five steels of different sulfur content are presented for different values of cutting speed, feed, cutting fluid, and cold work. While the presence of manganese sulfide in steel is generally found to extend tool life, certain combinations of speed and feed yield result that indicate the reverse effect. For the group of hot-rolled steels studied, sulfur was found to shorten tool life at certain cutting speeds when the feed was in the vicinity of 0.005 ipr. The hot-rolled steels of low sulfur content exhibit better tool life with high-speed steel tools than with carbide tools when the cutting speed is such as to give a tool life in the vicinity of 4 hr. A tracer device is described that is useful in exploring the nature and extent of the crater and built-up areas on the tool face.

Conventional tool monitoring instruments are usually costly to acquire. The instruments are inadequate for real time wear measurement in the uncertain environmental conditions of developing countries. A modeling approach relating relevant parameters causing wear on cutting tools’ flank will be useful in predicting wear in machining operations. Mild steel turning experiment was carried out on the lathe using selected High Speed Steel (HSS) and High Carbon Steel (HCS) single point cutting tools. Speed, feed, and time of machining were varied accordingly, while running with, and without coolant. Hardness of the cutting tips of the tools was measured using Rockwell, R hardness tester. The corresponding speed, feed and time of machining were also noted. Turning operation was continued until the tool was totally blunt. At this stage recorded values of hardness, time of machining, feed and speed were modeled using multiple regression technique, with and without cutting fluid. The resulting models were strongly in agreement with the measured values. Therefore, the model is a good predictor of flank wear for the selected tools commonly used in developing countries. The findings showed that wear of the cutting tools can be predicted during machining at predetermined cutting conditions.

Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is extensively used to manufacture different conductive materials, including difficult to machine materials with intricate profiles. Powder Mixed Electro-Discharge Machining (PMEDM) is a modern innovation in promoting the capabilities of conventional EDM. In this process, suitable materials in fine powder form are mixed in the dielectric fluid. An equal percentage of graphite and silicon carbide powders have been mixed together with the transformer oil and used as the dielectric media in this work. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of some process parameters such as peak current, pulse-on time, and powder concentration of machining High-speed steel (HSS)/(M2) on the material removal rate (MRR), tool wear rate (TWR) and the surface roughness (Ra). Experiments have been designed and analyzed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) approach by adopting a face-centered central composite design (FCCD). It is found that added graphite-silicon carbide mixing powder to the dielectric fluid enhanced the MRR and Ra as well as reduced the TWR at various conditions. Maximum MRR was (0.492 g/min) obtained at a peak current of (24 A), pulse on (100 µs), and powder concentration (10 g/l), minimum TWR was (0.00126 g/min) at (10 A, 100 µs, and 10 g/l), and better Ra was (3.51 µm) at (10 A, 50 µs, and 10 g/l).

Discharge Machining is a non-traditional machining technique and usually applied for hard metals and complex shapes that difficult to machining in the traditional cutting process. This process depends on different parameters that can affect the material removal rate and surface roughness. The electrode material is one of the important parameters in Electro –Discharge Machining (EDM). In this paper, the experimental work carried out by using a composite material electrode and the workpiece material from a high-speed steel plate. The cutting conditions: current (10 Amps, 12 Amps, 14 Amps), pulse on time (100 µs, 150 µs, 200 µs), pulse off time 25 µs, casting technique has been carried out to prepare the composite electrodes copper-sliver. The experimental results showed that Copper-Sliver (weight ratio70:30) gives better results than commonly electrode copper, Material Removal Rate (MRR) Copper-Sliver composite electrode reach to 0.225 gm/min higher than the pure Copper electrode. The lower value of the tool wear rate achieved with the composite electrode is 0.0001 gm/min. The surface roughness of the workpiece improved with a composite electrode compared with the pure electrode.
