Acoustic Emission (AE) signal analysis was applied to on-line sensing of tool wear in face milling. Cutting tests were conducted on a vertical milling machine. AE signals, feed and normal components of cutting force and flank wear were measured and compared. A signal processing scheme for intermittent cutting forces and AE signals, based on the concept of time domain averaging (TDA) is proposed. The results indicate that both AE and cutting forces have parameters that correlate closely with flank wear.

Time Domain Averaging

The characteristics of the acoustic emission signal during the tool wear process in end milling are analyzed, and a signal processing scheme for abstracting the mean time domain averaging deviation of the signal to monitor tool wear is proposed. Experiments indicate that the mean deviation value is sensitive to flank wear and its normalized value is not as dependent on milling parameters as the acoustic emission root mean square signal.

Wear Tests

Acoustic emission (AE) provides a non-intrusive means of monitoring insert flank wear in face milling. Progressive wear tests of carbide inserts in eight-point milling of annealed En24 steel were instrumented with piezoelectric AE transducers and a non-contact optical interferometer, from which AE frequency information could be extracted. Mean AE frequency was found generally to decrease with wear in agreement with other published studies. Tool indexed measurements enabled the time evolution of the frequency content to be studied on the timescale of a single pass of the insert. The results may be explained by a simple analytical model for AE frequency associated with plastic deformation. The observed AE decay time constants following insert entry decreased with cutting speed, consistent with thermal models of the cutting process. Whereas the results of this study alone would not constitute an independent means of tool wear monitoring, they could provide a diagnosis of tool wear when supplemented with other AE measures and with knowledge of the specific cutting process.

Wear mechanism of a cutting tool is highly complex in that the processes of tool wear results from interacting effect of machining configurations. Various output generated by the study and analysis of each tool is extremely useful in analyzing the tool characteristics in general and to make efforts to obtain the estimated tool life in particular. The gradual process of tool wear has adverse influence on the quality of the surface generated and on the design specifications in the work piece dimensions and geometry, and causes, at the worst case, machine breakdown. Advanced manufacturing demands proper use of the right tool and emphasizes the need to check the wear rate. A scientific method of obtaining conditions for an optimal machining process with proper tools and control of machining parameters is essential in the present day manufacturing processes. Many problems that affect optimization are related to the diminished machine performance caused by worn out tools. One of the indirect methods of tool wear analysis and monitoring is based on the acoustic emission (AE) signals. The generation of the AE signals directly in the cutting zone makes them very sensitive to changes in the cutting process and provides a means of evaluating the wear of cutting tools. Wear parameters obtained in the process are analyzed with the output generated by using Multi Layer Perceptron (MLP) based back propagation technique and Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Interference System (ANFIS). The results obtained from these methods are correlated for the actual and predicted wear. Experiments have been conducted on EN8 and, EN24 using Uncoated Carbide, Coated carbide and Ceramic inserts (Kennametal, India make) on a high speed lathe for the most appropriate cutting conditions. The AE signal analysis (considering signal parameters such as, ring down count (RDC), rise time (RTT), event duration (ED) and energy (EG). Flank wear in tools and corresponding cutting forces for each of the trials are measured and are correlated for various combinations of tools and materials of work piece.

In this work, the analysis of the cutting speed and feed rate influence on tool wear and cutting forces in Ti6Al4V alloy dry machining is presented. The study has been focused on the machining in a transient state. The tool wear mechanisms, tool wear intensity and cutting forces evolution have been analyzed as a function of the cutting parameters. Experimental results show that the main cutting force amplitude exhibits a general trend to increase with both cutting parameters. Crater wear was more evident at high cutting speeds, whereas flank wear was present on the whole interval of the cutting parameters analyzed. Furthermore, the cutting speed shows a slightly higher influence on crater wear and the feed rate shows a higher influence on flank wear. Finally, several experimental parametric models have been obtained. These models allow predicting the evolution of crater and flank tool wear, as well as the cutting forces, as a function of the cutting parameters. Additionally, a model that allows monitoring the tool wear on the machining transient state as a function of the main cutting force amplitude has been developed.

Experimental data are presented on the effects of short time-scale events on measured cutting force and acoustic emission during face milling. The events of interest are those that occur within a few revolutions of the cutting tool and are associated with non-continuous degradation such as insert edge chipping. A processing scheme is suggested whereby the events are recognized and distinguished from each other using a neural network simulation applied to the peaks of the r.m.s. acoustic emission records. It is found that acoustic emission is a more suitable description of such events than is cutting force. Finally, a record of the network simulation acting as a breakage detector in real time on a computer numerical control (CNC) milling machine is presented.

Textured self-lubricating tools were fabricated by fiber laser machining. Dry milling of titanium alloys was carried out with these textured tools and conventional one for comparison. The cutting forces, cutting temperature, surface roughness of processed workpiece and tool flank wear were measured. Results show that the textured tools can reduce the cutting forces, cutting temperature and surface roughness of workpiece, as a result, present superior wear-resistance compared to the untextured tool.
