In recent years, the study of chatter vibrations has been intensifying in the machining of materials. In this paper an investigation of this phenomena was conducted for gray cast iron (CGI). The chatter vibrations in machining process can considerably compromise the workpiece surface finish, tool wear and in some cases provide severe damage to the machine-tool. Thus there is an imminent need to expand the theory of chatter vibrations for the class of brittle materials. To analyze the vibrations of the process of machining and zones where the process is stable, and where it is unstable, the stability lobes diagram was used. This diagram is constructed at low speed cutting, where the phenomenon of damping arises. The damping is a crucial factor in the process, it increases system stability. This effect was considered in the formulation of chatter vibrations using the indentation model of Wu. For experimental validations the signals of cutting force were acquired and analysis was conducted in frequency domain to identify where the vibrations emerged allied with a roughness analysis of the workpiece. The results demonstrated perfectly the consequences of chatter vibrations in surface finish of grey cast iron and proved that the stability lobes diagram provides good results to detect these vibrations, determining the areas where the material removal should be avoid.

Finish milling is usually required in the peripheral milling of thin aircraft webs with long end mills, where the structures are flexible and radial depths of cut are small. The spindle speed and depth of cut must be selected optimally to avoid both forced and chatter vibrations, which in turn enables production of the parts within specified tolerances. Recent articles show that stability pockets differ at certain speeds when the radial immersion in milling is low and the machining process is highly intermittent. This paper presents a stability theory which predicts chatter stability lobes that are not covered by classical chatter theories in which the coupling between the spindle speed and process stability are neglected. The dynamics of low radial immersion milling are formulated as an eigenvalue problem, where harmonics of the tooth spacing angle and spread of the transfer function with the harmonics of the tooth passing frequencies are considered. It is shown that the stability lobes are accurately predicted with the presented method. This paper details the physics involved when the tooth passing frequencies alter the effective transfer function of the structure in the stability solution. The products of the harmonics of the directional coefficients and transfer functions of the structure are evaluated at the natural mode under the influence of tooth passing frequency harmonics in order to obtain the exact locations of chatter stability lobes.

The development of the manufacturing-based industries is principally due to the improvement of various machining operations. Experimental studies are important in researches, and their results are also considered useful by the manufacturing industries with their aim to increase quality and productivity. Turning is one of the principal machining processes, and it has been studied since the 20th century in order to prevent machining problems. Chatter or self-excited vibrations represent an important problem and generate the most negative effects on the machined workpiece. To study this cutting process problem, various models were developed to predict stable and unstable cutting conditions. Stability analysis using lobes diagrams became useful to classify stable and unstable conditions. The purpose of this study is to analyze a turning process stability using an analytical model, with three degrees of freedoms, supported and validated with experimental tests results during roughing operations conducted on AU4G1 thin-walled tubular workpieces. The effects of the tubular workpiece thickness, the feed rate and the tool rake angle on the machining process stability will be presented. In addition, the effect of an additional structural damping, mounted inside the tubular workpiece, on the machining process stability will be also studied. It is found that the machining stability process is affected by the tubular workpiece thickness, the feed rate and the tool rake angle. The additional structural damping increases the stability of the machining process and reduces considerably the workpiece vibrations amplitudes. The experimental results highlight that the dynamic behavior of turning process is governed by large radial deformations of the thin-walled workpieces. The influence of this behavior on the stability of the machining process is assumed to be preponderant.

The study presents model-based mechanism of nonlinear cutting tool vibration in turning process and the strategy of improving cutting process stability by suppressing machine tool vibration. The approach used is based on the closed-loop feedback control system with the help of electro–magneto–rheological damper. A machine tool vibration signal generated by an accelerometer is fed back to the coil of a damper after suitable amplification. The damper, attached under the tool holder, generates counter forces to suppress the vibration after being excited by the signal in terms of current. The study also discusses the use of transfer function approach for the development of a mathematical model and adaptively controlling the process dynamics of the turning process. The purpose of developing such mechanism is to stabilize the machining process with respect to the dynamic uncut chip thickness responsible for the type-II regenerative effect. The state-space model used in this study successfully checked the adequacy of the model through controllability and observability matrices. The eigenvalue and eigenvector have confirmed the stability of the system more accurately. The characteristic of the stability lobe chart is discussed for the present model-based mechanism.

Cutting chatter is extremely harmful to the machining process, and it is of great significance to eliminate chatter through analyzing the stability of the machining process. In this work, the stability of the milling process with multiple delays is investigated. Considering the regeneration effect, the dynamics of the milling process with variable pitch cutter is modeled as periodic coefficients delayed differential equations (DDEs) with multiple delays. An adaptive variable-step numerical integration method (AVSNIM) considering the effect of the helix angle is developed firstly, which can discretize the cutting period accurately, thereby improving the calculation accuracy of the stability limit of the milling process. The accuracy and efficiency of the AVSNIM are verified through a benchmark milling model. Subsequently, a novel spindle speed-dependent discretization algorithm is proposed, which is combined with the AVSNIM to further reduce the calculation time of the stability lobes diagram (SLD). The simulation experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively reduce the calculation time.

Regenerative machining chatter or resonance in the machining process has traditionally been modeled with the stability lobe approach. This paper presents a new time based direct simulation model and compares it with traditional stability lobe modeling. The direct model has the ability to discriminate directional and time information, resulting in a number of advantages over frequency-based stability lobe analysis.

In the paper a cutting stability in the milling process of nickel based alloy Inconel 625 is analysed. This problem is often considered theoretically, but the theoretical finding do not always agree with experimental results. For this reason, the paper presents different methods for instability identification during real machining process. A stability lobe diagram is created based on data obtained in impact test of an end mill. Next, the cutting tests were conducted in which the axial cutting depth of cut was gradually increased in order to find a stability limit. Finally, based on the cutting force measurements the stability estimation problem is investigated using the recurrence plot technique and Hilbert vibration decomposition method.

Traditionally, single point diamond turning (SPDT) can not process ferreous metals because of acute tool wear. Ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting(UVC) provides a promising solution for the problem. In this paper, for the aim of directly obtaining mirror surface on die steels, UVC method was used combining with SPDT process. Experiments were carried out on an ultra precision turning machine, cutting parameters and vibration parameters were well-chosen, and two kind of feed rates, two kinds of prevailing die steels were experimented. Mirror surfaces were successfully achieved on face turning, with the best roughness of Ra16.6nm. And the surface roughness, surface texture and tool wear in machining process were discussed.
