The existence of cutting rate-tool life (R-T) characteristic functions for material removal operations is introduced in this paper. This new concept enables a comprehensive development of a theory for economic optimization encompassing commonly used criteria of cost, production rate, and profit rate in machining when more than one cutting variable is involved. The theory provides conditions for the existence of economic optima, all of which must lie on the R-T characteristic curve for a given operation. The analysis of the theory is carried out for one and two independent cutting variables. For these two cases, it is proven that the locus of the tangent points of constant cutting rate and constant tool life curves describes the R-T characteristic curve, and also that the tool life is maximum along a given constant cutting rate curve at the point of tangency and vice versa. This geometric interpretation provides useful application of the concept as shown in Part 2.

The experimental verification, interpretations, and applications of the concept of cutting rate-tool life (R-T) characteristic functions are presented in this paper. Two statistically designed experiments, one on sawing and the other on milling, verifying the concept are described. The analytical and geometrical interpretations of the concept, including the existence of optima in the R-T domain, are presented. The applications discussed include economic selection of machining conditions, economic tool life determinations, comparison of machining response, objective function for adaptive control, and maximization of material removal at a desired level of surface integrity. The concept can be applied to other machining responses of conventional as well as nontraditional material removal processes.

In material removal processes, determination of optimal machining strategy is a key factor to increase productivity. This situation is gaining more importance when machining components with complex geometry. The current practice in the determination of machining strategy mostly depends on the experience of the machine operator. However, poorly designed machining processes lead to time-consuming and costly solutions. Therefore, the improvement of machining processes plays a vital role in terms of machining costs. In this study, the machining process of a boom-body connector (GGG40) of a backhoe loader was improved. Improvements of toolpaths and cutting conditions of 22 different material removal processes were checked through a CAM software. According to the simulation results, the process plan was rearranged. Besides, some enhancements in casting model were conducted to decrease in the number of machining operations. When compared to current practice, a reduction of 55% in machining time was achieved.

This paper describes a series of tests conducted to determine the effectiveness of various cooling techniques used while preparing teeth for restoration. Comparisons are presented for four cooling techniques: air stream, air-water spray, water stream from a separate hand-held syringe, and water applied through a hollow bur. The comparisons were made in two ways, temperature control and influence on cutting rate. It was demonstrated that wet cooling techniques provided better temperature control than cooling with air and also improved the rate of material removal.
