The increasing demand for complex and wear-resistant forming tools made of difficult-to-machine materials requires efficient manufacturing processes. In terms of high-strength materials; highly suitable processes such as micromilling are limited in their potential due to the increased tool loads and the resulting tool wear. This promotes hybrid manufacturing processes that offer approaches to increase the performance. In this paper; conduction-based thermally assisted micromilling using a prototype device to homogeneously heat the entire workpiece is investigated. By varying the workpiece temperature by 20 °C < TW < 500 °C; a highly durable high-speed steel (HSS) AISI M3:2 (63 HRC) and a hot-work steel (HWS) AISI H11 (53 HRC) were machined using PVD-TiAlN coated micro-end milling tools (d = 1 mm). The influence of the workpiece temperature on central process conditions; such as tool wear and achievable surface quality; are determined. As expected; the temporary thermal softening of the materials leads to a reduction in the cutting forces and; thus; in the resulting tool wear for specific configurations of the thermal assistance. While only minor effects are detected regarding the surface topography; a significant reduction in the burr height is achieved.

PurposeThis study aims to use nanofluid-based minimum quantity lubrication (NMQL) technique to minimize the use of cutting fluids in machining of Inconel-625 and Stainless Steel 304 (SS-304) (Ni-Cr alloys).Design/methodology/approachMachining of Ni-Cr-based alloys is very challenging as these exhibit lower thermal conductivity and rapid work hardening. So, these cannot be machined dry, and a suitable cutting fluid has to be used. To improve the thermal conductivity of cutting fluid, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were added to the soybean oil and used with MQL. This study attempts to compare tool wear of coated carbide inserts during face milling of Inconel-625 and SS-304 under dry, flooded and NMQL conditions. The machining performance of both materials, i.e. Inconel-625 and SS-304, has been compared on the basis of tool wear behavior evaluated using scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy.FindingsThe results indicate higher tool wear and lower tool life during machining of Inconel-625 as compared to SS-304. Machining of Inconel-625 exhibited non-consistent tool wear behavior. The tool failure modes experienced during dry machining are discrete fracture, cracks, etc., which are completely eliminated with the use of NMQL machining. In addition, less adhesion wear and abrasion marks are noticed as compared to dry and flooded machining, thereby enhancing the tool life.Research limitations/implicationsInconel-625 and SS-304 have specific applications in aircraft and aerospace industry, where sculptured surfaces of the turbine blades are machined. The results of current investigation will provide a rich data base for effective machining of both materials under variety of machining conditions.Originality/valueThe literature review indicated that majority of research work on MQL machining has been carried out to explore machining of Ni-Cr alloys such as Inconel 718, Inconel 800, AISI4340, AISI316, AISI1040, AISI430, titanium alloys, hardened steel alloys and Al alloys. Few researchers have explored the suitability of nanofluids and vegetable oil-based cutting fluids in metal cutting operation. However, no literature is available on face milling using nanoparticle-based MQL during machining Inconel-625 and SS-304. Therefore, experimental investigation was conducted to examine the machining performance of NMQL during face milling of Inconel-625 and SS-304 by using soybean oil (vegetable oil) with MWCNTs to achieve ecofriendly machining.

Cutting Speeds

Machining is a popular and versatile manufacturing process that is widely used in today’s industry when producing metallic parts; however, limited tool life can make this an expensive and time consuming fabrication technique. Consequently, methods that decrease the rate of tool wear and, thus, increase tool longevity are a vital component when improving the efficiency of machining processes. To this end, cryogenically treating cutting tools (especially high-speed steel tooling) is becoming more commonplace since research has shown that the treated tooling exhibits significantly higher wear resistance. At this point, however, the effect of cryogenic treatments on ceramic tooling has not been established. Considering this, the research herein presents a feasibility study on the effectiveness of using cryogenic treatments to enhance the wear resistance of WG-300 whisker-reinforced ceramic cutting inserts. To begin, the effect of the cryogenic treatment on the insert’s hardness is examined. Subsequently, tool wear tests are conducted at various cutting speeds. Through this study, it is shown that cryogenically treating the ceramic inserts decreases the rate of tool wear at each of the cutting speeds that were tested. However, the degree of wear resistance introduced by cryogenically treating the inserts proved to be highly dependent on the cutting speed, with slower speeds exhibiting greater improvements. Thus, based on this initial study, the cryogenic treatment of ceramic tooling appears to produce beneficial results, potentially increasing the overall efficiency of machining processes.

High Speed Cutting

Wear behavior of WC based nanocomposite cutting tool when high speed cutting ductile cast iron was investigated. Orthogonal cutting tests were carried out on a CA6140 lathe using three speeds, namely, 100, 215 and 287m min-1. The WC based nanocomposite tool is found to be superior to cemented carbide tools (YG8). The tool life is prolonged 60% as compared to cemented carbide, as the width of the wear land (VB), which was monitored at selected time intervals. Meanwhile, the topography of worn surfaces was scanned by a profilemeter. Wear characterization of the rake face and the flank surfaces as well as of the collected chips was conducted using a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that distinctive traces of single abrasive tool wear event were found on the rake face of the tool, additionally, the adhesion wear is the main wear mechanism in the flank face of the tool. However, the extent of improvement in tool life depends strongly on the cutting conditions, with the greatest benefits being seen at higher cutting speeds and feed rates.

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.

The condition of the cutting tool when drilling composite materials is the controlling factor for the surface integrity of hole produced. The high rate of tool wear when drilling composite materials makes finding a way to monitor the condition of the cutting tool without interrupting the drilling process a great necessity. Inspecting the condition of the drill between or during the drilling process is not practical or economical. In an attempt to tackle this problem, a new approach of on-line tool wear monitoring method using an air-coupled audio microphone is proposed. An experimental investigation was conducted on multi-directional carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite material using a high speed steel (HSS) drill. The result shows that, the amplitude of the acoustic signal from the microphone decreases when the amount of flank wear increases and the amplitude of thrust force and torque increases with the increase of the flank wear. This result demonstrates that the proposed approach can be used as an effective and economical tool for on-line monitoring of cutting tool condition.
