Lubricant and coolant can improve surface roughness in machining. In addition of ecological harms, thermal shock of coolant or lubricant may affect the surface integrity especially on surface residual stresses and micro-crack nucleation. Dry machining is ecologically desirable and it is considered as a necessity for manufacturing enterprises in the recent years. 55Cr3 steel grade is steel with ...

Regulating machining forces provides significant economic benefits by increasing operation productivity and improving part quality. Machining force regulation is a challenging problem since the force process varies significantly under normal operating conditions. Since fixed-gain controllers cannot guarantee system performance and stability as the force process varies, a substantial research ef...

This study introduced a method based on magnetic field assisted finishing mechanism for micromachining the inner surfaces of Aluminum tubes. In this approach, using the alternating magnetic field of an AC electromotor, abrasive particles were formed as Magnetic Rods (Magnetic Clusters) and surface micromachining was carried out by the dynamic particular pattern made by an alternating magnetic f...

A new dynamic friction model for modeling of elliptical vibration assisted turning (EVAT) was developed in this research. The periodic change of the friction force direction is known to be one of the most important causes of this phenomenon. In modeling of machining processes (including the EVAT process), static Coulomb friction model was employed by most of the researchers. Because of the peri...

Inappropriate machining conditions such as cutting forces cause tool failures, poor surface quality and worst of all machine breakdowns. This may be avoided by using optimal machining parameters, e.g. feed-rate, and continuing to monitor it throughout the machining process. To optimize feed-rate, we propose a system that consists of an optimisation module, a process control module and a knowled...

New demands are being placed on monitoring systems in precision manufacturing because of recent developments and trends in machining technology and machine tool design. This paper first discusses the requirements for sensor technology for precision manufacturing process monitoring in general. Then, background and details are given about acoustic emission (AE) and the application of AE sensing t...

WEDM is one of the important variants of electrical discharge machining (EDM) which uses the thermal energy generated between the electrodes for machining the electrically conducive materials. This method has been successfully implemented in common materials like aluminum, stainless steel etc., But its application in super alloys like Ti6Al4V is still under investigations. This paper reviews th...

In micro-electrical discharge machining (micro-EDM), dielectric plays a significant role during the machining process as different types of dielectrics have different chemical compositions, cooling rates and dielectric strengths. For this, dissimilar process responses are accounted when machining in EDM at micron level. The present paper investigates micro-EDM characteristics such as material r...
