A model to predict failure of coated WC-Co grades due to chipping in intermittent cutting via microstructure-level finite element machining process simulation is presented and applied to various coated WC-Co tools. Coated tools were examined for the characterization and simulation of their microstructures. Model predictions of failure due to chipping for coated WC-Co systems were validated by continuous machining tests. In order to simulate cyclic loading conditions during intermittent cutting, mechanical and thermal boundary conditions were applied during cutting phases and removed during noncutting phases. Interrupted turning experiments were conducted to validate the model, and the results showed that the predictions agreed well with the observations from the experiments. The paper includes the application of this model to a problem of WC-Co grade design.

The role of chemical stability of cutting tool materials in tool wear was investigated by studying the wear characteristics of titanium oxycarbides. The oxycarbides TiC0.25O0.75, TiC0.5O0.5, TiC0.6O0.4, and TiC0.75O0.25 were produced by solid state interdiffusion of TiO and TiC. Their hardnesses and lattice spacings were determined as functions of their chemical composition. The chemical interaction of these oxycarbides with steel was investigated by diffusion couple experiments. Then commercially available cemented carbide tools were coated with TiC0.5O0.5 and TiC0.75O0.25 by RF diode sputtering. The wear resistance of these coated tools was determined by cutting tests. The wear rate of these oxycarbide coated tools was comparable to that of a TiC coated tool, although the free energies of formation of oxycarbides were lower and their hardnesses comparable. It is, therefore, concluded that while the data on free energy of formation and hardness can be useful in the initial screening steps of tool materials, the kinetics of the wear process needs to be more fully understood to define the chemical stability of tool materials in a cutting environment.

Optimal Cutting Parameters

Nowadays, the development of robust finite element models is vital to research cost-effectively the optimal cutting parameters of a composite machining process. However, various factors, such as the high computational cost or the complicated nature of the interaction between the workpiece and the cutting tool significantly hinder the modelling of these types of processes. For these reasons, the numerical study of common machining operations, especially in composite machining, is still minimal. This paper presents a novel approach comprising a mixed multidirectional composite damage mode with composite edge trimming operation. An ingenious finite element framework which infer the cutting edge tool wear assessing the incremental change of the machining forces is developed. This information is essential to replace tool inserts before the tool wear could cause severe damage in the machined parts. Two unidirectional carbon fibre specimens with fibre orientations of 45∘ and 90∘ manufactured by pre-preg layup and cured in an autoclave were tested. Excellent machining force predictions were obtained with errors below 10% from the experimental trials. A consistent 2D FE composite damage model previously performed in composite machining was implemented to mimic the material failure during the machining process. The simulation of the spring back effect was shown to notably increase the accuracy of the numerical predictions in comparison to similar investigations. Global cutting forces simulated were analysed together with the cutting tool tooth forces to extract interesting conclusions regarding the forces received by the spindle axis and the cutting tool tooth, respectively. In general terms, vertical and normal forces steadily increase with tool wear, while tangential to the cutting tool, tooth and horizontal machining forces do not undergo a notable variation.

Aluminum alloys are soft and have low melting temperatures; therefore, machining them often results in cut material fusing to the cutting tool due to heat and friction, and thus lowering the hole quality. A good practice is to use coated cutting tools to overcome such issues and maintain good hole quality. Therefore, the current study investigates the effect of cutting parameters (spindle speed and feed rate) and three types of cutting-tool coating (TiN/TiAlN, TiAlN, and TiN) on the surface finish, form, and dimensional tolerances of holes drilled in Al6061-T651 alloy. The study employed statistical design of experiments and ANOVA (analysis of variance) to evaluate the contribution of each of the input parameters on the measured hole-quality outputs (surface-roughness metrics Ra and Rz, hole size, circularity, perpendicularity, and cylindricity). The highest surface roughness occurred when using TiN-coated tools. All holes in this study were oversized regardless of the tool coating or cutting parameters used. TiN tools, which have a lower coating hardness, gave lower hole circularity at the entry and higher cylindricity, while TiN/TiAlN and TiAlN seemed to be more effective in reducing hole particularity when drilling at higher spindle speeds. Finally, optical microscopes revealed that a built-up edge and adhesions were most likely to form on TiN-coated tools due to TiN’s chemical affinity and low oxidation temperature compared to the TiN/TiAlN and TiAlN coatings.

There is a difference in machining by the cutting tool with defined geometry and undefined geometry. That is one of the reasons of implementation of hard turning into the machining process. In current manufacturing processes is hard turning many times used as a fine finish operation. It has many advantages – machining by single point cutting tool, high productivity, flexibility, ability to produce parts with complex shapes at one clamping. Very important is to solve machined surface quality. There is a possibility to use wiper geometry in hard turning process to achieve 3 – 4 times lower surface roughness values. Cutting parameters influence cutting process as well as cutting tool geometry. It is necessary to take into consideration cutting force components as well. Issue of the use of wiper geometry has been still insufficiently researched.

In this paper, a multi-level method has been adopted to optimize the holes machining process with genetic algorithm (GA). Based on the analyzing of the features of the part with multi-holes, the local optimal processing route for the holes with the same processing feature is obtained with GA, then try to obtain the global optimal route with GA by considering the obtained local optimal route and the holes with different features. That is what the multi-level method means. The optimal route means the minimum moving length of the cutting tool and the minimum changing times of the cutting tool. The experiment is carried out to verify the algorithm and the proposed method, and result indicates that with GA and using the multi-level method the optimal holes machining route can be achieved efficiently.

Cutting Tool Materials

Modern trends in metal cutting, high speed/feed machining, dry cutting and hard cutting set more demanding characteristics for cutting tool materials. The exposed parts of the cutting edges must be protected against the severe loading conditions and wear. The most significant coatings methods for cutting tools are PVD and CVD/MTCVD today. The choice of the right substrate or the right protective coating in the specific machining operation can have serious impact on machining productivity and economy. In many cases the deposition of the cutting tool with a hard coating increases considerably its cutting performance and tool life. The coating protects the tool against abrasion, adhesion, diffusion, formation of comb cracks and other wear phenomena.

Combining the machining process simulation on UG NX software and the mathematically analysis, a new solving method for the tooth crest curve equation of spiral bevel gears is proposed in this paper. The steps are as follows:1) Establishing the gear blank cone equation in the original coordinate system; 2) Finding the gear convex and concave profile equations in the new coordinate system; 3) Integrating the original coordinate system and the new one through geometric transformation and then deducing the tooth crest curve equations on both sides. The equations will help calculate the cutter’s position and pose in addendum chamfering process, with the chamfer automation achieved.

This study is developing environmentally friendly cutting technologies of difficult-to-machine materials by MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) cutting with Ti-B coated tools. In this research, we performed cutting experiments of difficult-to-machine materials in dry, MQL and wet conditions with non-coated tools. Cutting resistance in the MQL cutting was almost the same as that in the wet cutting. Moreover, damage of the cutting tool was not observed after the MQL cutting. Therefore the MQL cutting is expected to become an advanced cutting technology by using Ti-B coated tools because Ti-B film had high temperature lubricating properties and high wear resistance.

This paper reports the stress distribution inside the workpiece under ultrasonic vibration cutting (UVC) condition. Many researchers have reported the improvement of tool wear, burr generation and surface integrity by reduction of time-averaged cutting force under UVC condition. However general dynamometers have an insufficient frequency band to observe the processing phenomena caused by UVC. In this paper, stress distribution inside the workpiece during UVC was observed by combining the flash light emission synchronized with ultrasonically vibrating cutting tool and the photoelastic method. Instantaneous stress distribution during UVC condition was observed. Because UVC induced an intermittent cutting condition, the stress distribution changed periodically and disappeared when the tool leaved from the workpiece. It was found that instantaneous maximum cutting force during UVC condition was smaller than quasi-static cutting force during conventional cutting when the cutting speed was less than 500 mm/min.
