The main objective of the present work is to determine the performance of resharpened integral coated cemented carbide end milling tools. Tools as new and after they have been resharpened were tested, during machining of hard steel used in the mold and die industry. The coatings used were TiAlN and AlCrN. The cutting speed was varied, keeping the depth of cut, the cutting width and the feed per tooth constants. Tests were carried out dry. A 23 factorial design was used, considering the following factors (and levels): cutting speed (80 and 100 m / min), tool coating (TiAlN and AlCrN) and the tool condition (new and reground). The output parameter considered is the tool life (wear rate). At the end of the tool life the wear mechanisms were analyzed within a Scanning Electron Microscopy - SEM. The results showed that in general the AlCrN coated tools outperformed the TiAlN. The performance of resharpened tools was very similar to the new tools, and statistically there is no significant difference between their tool lives.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the cutting performance of high-speed regime end milling of AISI 4340 by investigating the tool life and wear mechanism of steel using the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique to deliver the cutting fluid. Design/methodology/approach The experiments were designed using Taguchi L9 orthogonal array with the parameters chosen: cutting speed (between 300 and 400 m/min), feed rate (between 0.15 and 0.3 mm/tooth), axial depth of cut (between 0.5 and 0.7 mm) and radial depth of cut (between 0.3 and 0.7 mm). Toolmaker microscope, optical microscope and Hitachi SU3500 Variable Pressure Scanning Electron Microscope used to measure tool wear progression and wear mechanism. Findings Cutting speed 65.36%, radial depth of cut 24.06% and feed rate 6.28% are the cutting parameters that contribute the most to the rate of tool life. The study of the tool wear mechanism revealed that the oxide layer was observed during lower and high cutting speeds. The former provides a cushion of the protective layer while later reduce the surface hardness of the coated tool Originality/value A high-speed regime is usually carried out in dry conditions which can shorten the tool life and accelerate the tool wear. Thus, this research is important as it investigates how the use of MQL and cutting parameters can prolong the usage of tool life and at the same time to achieve a sustainable manufacturing process.

Abstract. The purpose of this research is to determine the optimum machining parameter for Aluminium silicon alloy (AlSi) matrix composite, which has been reinforced with aluminium nitride (AlN), with three types of carbide inserts present. Experiments were conducted at various cutting speeds, feed rates and depths of cut, according to the Taguchi orthogonal array L27. The signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance are applied to study the characteristic performance of cutting speeds, feed rates, depths of cut and types of tool in measuring the tool life during the milling operation. The analysis of wear was done using a Sometech SV-35 video microscope according to ISO 3686. Through Taguchi analysis, it is concluded that a combination of high feed rate, high depth of cut, low cutting speed and insert TiB2 give a longer tool life. Therefore, the cutting speed of 230 m/min, feed rate of 0.8 mm/tooth, depth of cut of 0.5 mm and type of insert of TiB2 were the optimum machining parameters. These optimum parameters will help the automotive industry to have a competitive machining operation from both economical and manufacturing perspectives.

Inconel 718 is a material exhibiting characteristic that are able to maintain strength and integrity at elevated temperatures, but it is well known as a material with poor machinability. This paper presents a study of the performance in high speed machining of TiAlN/AlCrN nanomultilayer PVD coated Inconel 718 with minimum lubrication. Investigations have been made into the effects of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut (DOC) on the tool life. A toolmakers microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to examine the tool wear and chemical attrition, respectively, on the cutting tool during machining. In the machining of aged Inconel 718, the cutting tool experienced attrition, abrasion and notch wear throughout the experiment. Notch wear was found to be the dominant failure mode during milling; this wear appeared severe when localized flank wear reached the critical zone. The influence of radial depth despite the cutting speed, well known as having the most significant effect on tool life, is also discussed.

The manufacturing sectors are consistently striving to figure out ways to minimize the consumption of natural resources through rational utilization. This is achieved by a proper understanding of every minute influence of parameters on the entire process. Understanding the influencing parameters in determining the machining process efficacy is inevitable. Technological advancement has drastically improved the machining process through various means by providing better quality products with minimum machining cost and energy consumption. Specifically, the machining factors such as cutting speed, spindle speed, depth of cut, rate of feed, and coolant flow rate are found to be the governing factors in determining the economy of the machining process. This study is focused on improving the machining economy by enhancing the surface integrity and tool life with minimum resources. The study is carried out on low-carbon mold steel (UNS T51620) using Box–Behnken design and grey regression analysis. The optimized multiobjective solution for surface roughness (Ra), material removal rate (MRR), and power consumed (Pc) and tool life is determined and validated through the confirmatory run. The optimized set of parameters in Box–Behnken design and grey regression analysis with that of confirmatory runs shows a 10% deviation that proves the reliability of the optimization techniques employed.

End milling is conducted on carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) by using a diamond coated cemented carbide tool. Taguchi design method is employed to investigate the influence of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on surface roughness. In Taguchi method, a three level orthogonal array has been used to determine the S/N ratio. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and pareto diagram are used to determine the most significant milling parameters affecting the surface roughness. The results indicate that only the depth of cut has great statistical significance on the surface roughness, while the influences of cutting speed and feed are negligible. SEM micrographs shows that with the increase of depth of cut, a great deal epoxy resin will adhere to the finished surface. The greatest S/N ratio (1.46dB) is obtained during the validation experiment with optimum milling parameters.

Desirability Index

This paper proposes a multi-criteria optimization technique using the mathematical models developed by the response surface methodology (RSM) for the target responses combined with desirability indices for the determining the optimum cutting parameters in end milling of AISI D2 hardened steels. Different responses may require different targets either being maximized or minimized. Simultaneous achievement of the optimized (maximum or minimum) values of all the responses is very unlikely. In machining operations tool life and volume metal removed are targeted to be maximized whereas the machined surface roughness need to be at minimum level. Models showing the combined effect of the three control factors such as cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut are developed. However, a particular combination of parameter levels appears to be optimum for a particular response but not for all. Thus adoption of the method of consecutive searches with higher desirability values is found to be appropriate. In this study the desirability index reaches to a maximum value of 0.889 after five consecutive solution searching. At this stage, the optimum values of machining parameters - cutting speed, depth of cut and feed were determined as 44.27 m/min, 0.61 mm, 0.065 mm/tooth respectively. Under this set condition of machining operations a surface roughness of 0.348 μm and volume material removal of 7.45 cm3 were the best results compared to the rest four set conditions. However, the tool life would be required to compromise slightly from the optimum value.

Hard milling of hardened steel has wide application in mould and die industries. However, milling induced surface finish has received little attention. An experimental investigation is conducted to comprehensively characterize the surface roughness of AISI D2 hardened steel (58-62 HRC) in end milling operation using TiAlN/AlCrN multilayer coated carbide. Surface roughness (Ra) was examined at different cutting speed (v) and radial depth of cut (dr) while the measurement was taken in feed speed, Vf and cutting speed, Vc directions. The experimental results show that the milled surface is anisotropic in nature. Surface roughness values in feed speed direction do not appear to correspond to any definite pattern in relation to cutting speed, while it increases with radial depth-of-cut within the range 0.13-0.24 µm. In cutting speed direction, surface roughness value decreases in the high speed range, while it increases in the high radial depth of cut. Radial depth of cut is the most influencing parameter in surface roughness followed by cutting speed.

The drive of this research is to examine the machinability of 100Cr6 bearing steel using advanced C-type cutting tools. Experimental studies investigated the effects of machining variables on the surface quality, chip reduction coefficient and cutting force. Seven advanced coated tools were checked for characterization by micro hardness (VHN), adhesion quality, X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The experimental trials were planned by Taguchi’s L18 orthogonal array using a mixed-level design. Two numerical machining variables feed rate and cutting speed, and one categorical machining variable tool type was taken into consideration while a constant depth of cut was kept for all trails. A combined Taguchi-Satisfaction function distance measure approach was implemented for multi-response optimization. The most promising machining parameter setting for minimization of surface roughness, cutting force, and chip reduction coefficient was identified. The most important process parameter was found to be tool-type. Ceramics tools are found to be best trailed by WC coated tools under most of the conditions. Lower tool wear was observed in the CBN tool as compared to others.
