Optimization of cutting parameters is valuable in terms of providing high precision and efficient machining. One of the effects of cutting force in the end milling operation with low diameter tool (during metal cutting) is tool deflection. Assuming that machining errors mostly arise from tool deflection, attempt was made to optimize machining parameters using Genetic Algorithm (GA) so as to min...

Rotary ultrasonic machining is one of the nontraditional machining processes for advanced ceramics. Currently available in literature are publications on theoretical and experimental studies on material removal rates in rotary ultrasonic machining. However, there is no report on the systematic study of the cutting force in rotary ultrasonic machining. Furthermore, the effects of some process pa...

Coated tools have improved the performance of both traditional and nontraditional machining processes and have resulted in higher material removal, better surface finish, and increased wear resistance. However, a study on the performance of coated tools in micromachining has not yet been adequately conducted. One possible reason is the difficulties associated with the preparation of coated micr...

The quality of machined workpieces, particularly precious metals, is the main goal of every machining process. A suitable cutting fluid can substantially affect the machining outcome. The study is novel in that it uses nanofluids in the machining process to mitigate the adverse effects of high temperatures and friction. Graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles were synthesized using the modified Humme...

ultrasonic assisted drilling (usd) is new technique to drill difficult to machine materials. in this method, tool or workpiece vibrates with amplitude of few microns in addition to conventional drill bite rotation. in this experimental research, the bone was drilled both conventionally and using uad, then the thrust was measured in two methods at feed rates of 50, 75 and 125 mm/s and 500, 710 a...

aluminium matrix composites (amcs) materials are continuously displacing traditional engineering materials because of their advantages of high stiffness and strength over homogeneous material formulations. properties of amcs can be tailored to the demands of different industrial applications by suitable combinations of matrix, reinforcement and processing route. presently, several grades of amc...

turning of hardened steels using a single point cutting tool has replaced the cylindrical grinding now as it offers attractive benefits in terms of lower equipment costs, shorter set up time, fewer process setups, higher material removal rate, better surface quality and elimination of cutting fluids compared to cylindrical grinding. in order to obtain desired surface quality by machining, prope...

The effects of femtosecond laser machining on surface characteristics and subsurface microstructure of a Nitinol alloy were studied. The femtosecond laser machining produced an average surface roughness of 0.2 μm. A re-deposited layer of 7 μm and a hardened layer of 70 μm were also resulted from the machining.

A system Is presented that combines the automated planning and. optimization functions in machining processes. The planning function is performed by a systematic analysis of the stated requirements of the finished part in the light of information on available machining facilities and raw materials. The optimization phase utilizes a mathematical programming model to take into account various cos...

Wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) is one of the advanced machining processes. Response surface methodology coupled with Grey relation analysis method has been proposed and used to optimise the machining parameters of WEDM. A face centred cubic design is used for conducting experiments on high speed steel (HSS) M2 grade workpiece material. The regression model of significant factors such ...
