In modern constructions, especially aircraft, the aim is to minimize the weight of the components used. This necessitates the use of innovative construction materials, or the production of these parts with ever-decreasing wall thicknesses. To simplify assembly and improve strength properties, so-called structural elements are being used in the form of monolithic elements, which are replacing the assemblies of parts joined by, for example, riveting. These structures often have a complex, thin-walled geometry with deep pockets. This paper attempts to assess the accuracy of manufacturing thin-walled elements, in the shape of walls with different geometries, made of various aluminum alloys. Machining tests were conducted at different cutting speeds, which allowed comparisons of the geometric accuracy of parts manufactured under conventional and high-speed cutting conditions. Based on the result obtained, it was found that the elements made of EN AW-7075 T651 alloy underwent the greatest deformations during machining in comparison to that of other two materials (EN AW-6082 T651 and EN AC-43000). An increase in the geometrical accuracy of the manufactured elements was also observed with the increase in the cutting speed for the HSC range. Hence, to minimize the postmachining deformation of thin-walled elements, the use of high-speed cutting is justified.

Through the experiment of cutting 45 steel, the influence of boronizing on Ti (C,N)-based ceramic cutting performance in different cutting speeds were discussed. The test results indicated that: regardless of boriding, cutting speed has a great influence on the life of Ti (C,N)-based ceramic cutting tool. Within the limit of 200~400 m/min, the lower the cutting speed is, the longer tools life. At the minimum speed, boronizing greatly improves cutting performance and doubles tool life. It has no significant but negative effects once over 300 m/min. The decrease of the abrasion resistance of boronized layer is mainly influenced by the intense thermal shock of high speed cutting.

Aluminum alloy 7050-T7451 is widely used in aeronautical large structural parts, and high speed cutting is often used in machining. The serrated chip is a critical state for chip formation in high speed cutting, and its formation and control mechanism are of great significance for actual machining. To study the chip formation of high speed cutting aluminum alloy 7050-T7451, the chips at different cutting speeds are obtained by high speed cutting experiments. Combined with microscopic observation, the chip shape evolution, chip localization fracture process and mechanism of different cutting speeds are analyzed. The morphological evolution of chips and the mechanism of chip breaking during high speed cutting of aluminum alloy are revealed. According to the machined surface of the chip root and the angle of the chip, the formation mechanism of the curl radius formed by the chip is analyzed. The critical cutting speed of plastic-brittle transformation of aluminum alloy 7050-T7451 in high speed cutting is obtained by studying the critical condition for strip-to-serration transition of chip morphology.

In high speed machining, to dynamically control the mechanical behaviour of the materials, it is essential to control temperature, stress and strain by appropriate speed, feed and depth of cut. In the present work, to predict the mechanical behaviour of Ti6Al4V and 316L steel bio-materials an explicit dynamic analysis with different cutting speeds was carried out. Orthogonal cutting of 316L steel and Ti6Al4V materials with 720 m/min, 900 m/min and 1200 m/min cutting speeds was performed, and the distribution of stress and temperature was investigated using Jonson-Cook material model. Additionally, the work aimed at determining the effect of cutting speed on work piece temperature, when cutting is carried out continuously. From the investigation, it was found that, while machining Ti6Al4V material, for the increase in cutting speed there was increase in tool-chip interface temperature. Specifically, this could found till the cutting speed 900 m/min. But, there was a decrease in tool-chip interface temperature for the increase in speed from 900 m/min to 1200 m/min. Similarly for 316L steel, the tool-chip interface temperature increased when increasing the cutting speed till 900 m/min. But reduction in temperature from 650 °C to 500 °C for steel and 1028 °C to 990 °C for Ti6Al4V were found, when the cutting speed increased from 900 m/min to 1200 m/min. The study can be used to conclude, at what temperature range the adoption of material with controlled shape and geometry is possible for potential applications like, prosthetic design and surgical instruments prior to fabrications.

Cutting Speeds

High-speed orthogonal cutting experiments with cutting speeds of up to 200 m/s with a high-speed impact cutting tester of air-gun type are attempted. In this tester, a light projectile with a small built-in cutting tool is loaded into a tube, being accelerated by a compressed gas. The projectile captures the chip that is indispensable to analyze the cutting mechanism. The projectile holding the chip is decelerated by another compressed gas just after finishing the cutting, being stopped without damage in the tube. Successful experiment can be accomplished by setting adequate values of the operation parameters for the experiment, which are the pressure of each gas and the opening and shutting time of the solenoid-controlled valve for each compressed gas. In order to determine the adequate values of these parameters, a ballistic simulator that simulates the velocity and position of the projectile traveling in the tube is developed. By setting the values of these parameters obtained by the simulator, the cutting speed of 200 m/s is achieved when the ambient pressure is set to be a vacuum and helium is used for each compressed gas. This paper describes the ballistic simulator developed and shows the experimental results of the high-speed cutting of aluminum alloy A2017.

Cutting Speeds

Machining is a popular and versatile manufacturing process that is widely used in today’s industry when producing metallic parts; however, limited tool life can make this an expensive and time consuming fabrication technique. Consequently, methods that decrease the rate of tool wear and, thus, increase tool longevity are a vital component when improving the efficiency of machining processes. To this end, cryogenically treating cutting tools (especially high-speed steel tooling) is becoming more commonplace since research has shown that the treated tooling exhibits significantly higher wear resistance. At this point, however, the effect of cryogenic treatments on ceramic tooling has not been established. Considering this, the research herein presents a feasibility study on the effectiveness of using cryogenic treatments to enhance the wear resistance of WG-300 whisker-reinforced ceramic cutting inserts. To begin, the effect of the cryogenic treatment on the insert’s hardness is examined. Subsequently, tool wear tests are conducted at various cutting speeds. Through this study, it is shown that cryogenically treating the ceramic inserts decreases the rate of tool wear at each of the cutting speeds that were tested. However, the degree of wear resistance introduced by cryogenically treating the inserts proved to be highly dependent on the cutting speed, with slower speeds exhibiting greater improvements. Thus, based on this initial study, the cryogenic treatment of ceramic tooling appears to produce beneficial results, potentially increasing the overall efficiency of machining processes.

This paper describes strong nonlinearity in log V-log L relationship, which is often found in machining of supperalloys, titanium alloys, hardened steels, cast irons, etc. The nonlinearity plays an important and favorable role in extension of life-span cutting distance at higher cutting speeds; that is, in a certain range of cutting speed, life-span cutting distance increases with cutting speed. Results of tool wear in a sliding test and cutting experiments, which showed the evidences of strong nonlinearity, were investigated and the mechanisms causing the nonlinearity were discussed.

Abstract High speed cutting (HSC) technology has the characteristics of high material removal rates and high machining precision. In order to study the relationships between chip morphology and machining surface characteristic in high speed cutting of superalloy Inconel718. High-speed orthogonal cutting experiment are carried out by used a high speed cutting device based on split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The specimen surfaces and collected chips were then detected with optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and three-dimensional surface profile measuring instrument. The results show that within the experimental parameters (cutting speed from 8–16m/s, depth of cut 0.1–0.5mm), the obtained chips are sawtooth chips and periodic micro-ripple appear on the machined surface. With the cutting speed increases, machining surface roughness is decreases from 1.4 to 0.99μm, and the amplitude of periodic ripples also decreases. With the cutting depth increases, the machining surface roughness increases from 0.96 to 5.12μm and surface topography becomes worse. With the increase of cutting speed and depth of cut, the chips are transform from continues sawtooth to sawtooth fragment. By comparing the frequency of surface ripples and sawtooth chips, it is found that they are highly consistent.

High-speed cutting technology has the characteristics of high material removal rate and excellent processing quality. To investigate the surface quality of high-speed cutting Ti6Al4V alloy, the orthogonal cutting experiment is the cutting device based on improved Split-Hopkinson pressure bar carried out with a cutting speed of about 7–16 m/s. Surface roughness, residual stress and three-dimensional surface topography are examined to characterize the surface quality. And the chip geometry parameters are measured to analyze the formation mechanism of surface topography. The result shows that cutting force and surface roughness increase rapidly with the increase in depth of cut. In the meantime, the periodic microwaves appeared on the machined surface, and their amplitudes increase with the increase in depth of cut. However, surface roughness, residual stress and microwave amplitude all decrease with the increase in cutting speed. Moreover, it is found that the evolution trend of chip thickness and surface roughness with cutting parameters is very similar. Therefore, it can be inferred that there is a strong relationship between surface topography and chip morphology.

System Requirements

This paper presents a methodology for determining the machine tool system requirements for high-speed machining (HSM)/high-throughput machining (HTM). Both technological and economic factors should be considered in the formulation of the model for determining machine tool system requirements. The HSM function model is given here in the form of ICAM-defined (IDEFo) charts with corresponding text. For machining most aluminum alloys, the maximum cutting speed is not limited by tool life, and the technology for high-speed machine tools (spindles, table drives, controls, chip management, and other features) exists today. Therefore, HSM of aluminum alloys can be implemented. Selection of a suitable HSM system involves detailed technological analysis and economic justification for a given part-family production configuration. The recent introduction of Si3N4 based tool materials has enabled significantly higher cutting speeds (up to 1524 mpm or 5000 sfpm) in the machining of gray cast iron. However, the machine tools using this type of tool material should be more rigid and capable of higher power, higher speed, and faster feed in order to increase productivity and reduce manufacturing costs. In the machining of the difficult-to-machine materials (e.g., superalloys), the cutting speed is still limited by tool wear. Nevertheless, a high-throughput machining (HTM) strategy is pertinent for this application.
