In the field of underwater emergency maintenance, submarine pipeline cutting is generally performed by a diamond wire saw. The process, in essence, involves diamond grits distributed on the surface of the beads cutting X56 pipeline steel bit by bit at high speed. To find the effect of the different parameters (cutting speed, coefficient of friction and depth of cut) on cutting force, the finite element (FEA) method and response surface method (RSM) were adopted to obtain cutting force prediction models. The former was based on 64 simulations; the latter was designed according to DoE (Design of Experiments). Confirmation experiments were executed to validate the regression models. The results indicate that most of the prediction errors were within 10%, which were acceptable in engineering. Based on variance analyses of the RSM models, it could be concluded that the depth of the cut played the most important role in determining the cutting force and coefficient the of friction was less influential. Despite making little direct contribution to the cutting force, the cutting speed is not supposed to be high for reducing the coefficient of friction. The cutting force models are instructive in manufacturing the diamond beads by determining the protrusion height of the diamond grits and the future planning of the cutting parameters.

The machining process of SiCp/Al composites is considerably difficult because of the addition of ceramic particles. As an effective machining method, ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning is used to process SiCp/Al composites, which can effectively reduce the cutting force, improve the surface quality, and reduce the tool wear. This study developed a cutting force prediction model for ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning of SiCp/Al composites, which comprehensively considers the instantaneous depth of cut and the instantaneous shear angle. This model divides the cutting force into the chip formation force considering the instantaneous depth of cut, the friction force considering the influence of SiC particles at tool-chip interface, the particle fracture force, and the ultrasonic impact force in the cutting depth direction. By comparing the predicted value of the main cutting force with the experimental values, the results present the same trend, which verifies the feasibility of the cutting force prediction model. In addition, the influence of vibration amplitude, depth of cut, and cutting speed on the main cutting force is analyzed. The systematic cutting experiments show that ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning can significantly reduce the cutting force and improve the machinability of SiCp/Al composites.

High-speed milling tests were performed on vol. (5%-8%) TiCp/TC4 composite in the speed range of 50-250 m/min using PCD tools to nvestigate the cutting temperature and the cutting forces. The results showed that radial depth of cut and cutting speed were the two significant influences that affected the cutting forces based on the Taguchi prediction. Increasing radial depth of cut and feed rate will increase the cutting force while increasing cutting speed will decrease the cutting force. Cutting force increased less than 5% when the reinforcement volume fraction in the composites increased from 0% to 8%. Radial depth of cut was the only significant influence factor on the cutting temperature. Cutting temperature increased with the increasing radial depth of cut, feed rate or cutting speed. The cutting temperature for the titanium composites was 40-90 °C higher than that for the TC4 matrix. However, the cutting temperature decreased by 4% when the reinforcement's volume fraction increased from 5% to 8%.

Taguchi design methodology is applied to experiments of flank mill machining parameters of titanium alloy TC11 (Ti6.5A13.5Mo2Zr0.35Si) in conventional and high speed regimes. This study includes three factors, cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut, about two types of tools. Experimental runs are conducted using an orthogonal array of L9(33), with measurement of cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness. The analysis of result shows that the factors combination for good surface roughness, low cutting temperature and low resultant cutting force are high cutting speed, low feed rate and low depth of cut.

This paper makes an experiment in high-speed milling of Inconel 718. Cutting tests were performed using round and ceramic tools, at feeds from 0.06 to 0.14 mm/tooth, Axial Depth of Cut from0.5 to 1.5mm,and cutting speeds ranging from 500 to 1037 m/min. The behaviour of the cutting forces during machining was then measure. The results show that cutting force increases first and then decreases with the increase of feed per tooth, the tool chipping and groove wear were found with the increase of axial cutting depth, and cutting force is increased; the increase in cutting force with the cutting speed increases, when the cutting speed reaches a critical speed, the cutting force as the cutting speed increases began to decline.

Finally, by genetic algorithm method cutting parameters are selected reasonably and optimized. The result shows that the bonding wear is main tool wear, and the influence of cutting speed on cutting force is smaller than feed per tooth and axial depth of cut.

The friction behavior in the tool-chip interface is an essential issue in aluminum matrix composite material (AMCM) turning operations. Compared with conventional cutting, the elliptical vibration (EVC) cutting AMCM has attractive advantages, such as low friction, small cutting forces, etc. However, the friction mechanism of the EVC cutting AMCM is still inadequate, especially the model for cutting forces analyzing and predicting, which hinders the application of EVC in the processing of AMCM. In this paper, a cutting force prediction model for EVC cutting SiCp/Al is established, which is based on the three-phase friction (TPF) theory. The friction components are evaluated and predicted at the tool-chip interface (TCI), tool-particle interface (TPI) and tool-matrix (TMI), respectively. In addition, the tool-chip contact length and SiC particle volume fraction were defined strictly and the coefficient of friction was predicted. Based on the Johnson-Cook constitutive model, the experiment was conducted on SiCp/Al. The cutting speed and tool-chip contact length were used as input parameters of the friction model, and the dynamic changes of cutting force and stress distribution were analyzed. The results shown that when cutting speed reaches 574 m/min, the tool-chip contact length decreases to 0.378 mm. When the cutting speed exceeds 658 m/min, the cutting force decreases to a minimum of 214.9 N and remains stable. In addition, compared with conventional cutting, the proposed prediction model can effectively reduce the cutting force.

For the purpose of acquiring thorough understanding of the characteristics of cutting force in high and ultra-high-speed face milling of hardened steel, experimental investigations on face milling of AISI H13 steel (46-47 HRC) are conducted in the present study. The cutting speed of 1400 m/min, at which relatively low cutting force and relatively low surface roughness can be obtained at the same time, is considered as a critical value for both mechanical load and surface finish. The Taguchi method is applied to investigate the effects of cutting parameters on cutting force in different speed ranges (below and above 1400 m/min). In different speed ranges, the contribution order of the cutting parameters for the resultant cutting force is the same, namely axial depth of cut, cutting speed and feed per tooth. However, the contributions of cutting speed and feed per tooth increase substantially as the cutting speed surpasses 1400 m/min. Within the range of cutting parameters used in the present study, the optimum cutting conditions for the cutting force are cutting speed 200 m/min, feed per tooth 0.02 mm/tooth and axial depth of cut 0.1 mm.
