Today's forging die manufacturing process must be adapted to several evolutions in machining process generation: CAD/CAM models, CAM software solutions and High Speed Machining (HSM). In this context, the adequacy between die shape and HSM process is in the core of machining preparation and process planning approaches. This paper deals with an original approach of machining preparation integrat...

Condition monitoring and diagnosis systems capable of identifying machining system defects and tiieir location are essential for unmanned machining Unattended (or minimally manned) machining would result in increased capital equipment utilization, thus substantially reducing the manufacturing costs. A review of tool monitoring systems and techniques and their components and the Multiple Princip...

Machining parameter selection and tolerance specification for raw materials, machine tools and fixtures directly affect product geometric quality and system productivity. However, there currently exists no integrated method for analyzing these variables for machining systems. This paper presents a methodology for simultaneously selecting optimal machining process parameters and tolerance specif...

In this paper error sources existing in the on-line inspection system for numerical control machines are analyzed. A mathematical model of the geometric errors of a three-axis machining center is created and the pretravel variations are obtained in different directions. Then an error compensation is applied to improve the accuracy of the on-line inspection system. A methodology of spatial stati...

The purpose of this paper is to optimize the EDM parameters to get the better surface finish on the Titanium alloys Ti6AL4V. The continuous advancement of the alloy is fulfilling the demand of the industry but for advance material like Titanium alloys Ti6AL4V partially adopted by industries cause of the difficulties in machining. Non Conventional machining process like Spark Erosion Electrical ...

Drilling is the most common machining operation and it forms the highest machining cost in many manufacturing activities including automotive engine production. The outcome of this operation depends upon many factors including utilization of proper cutting tool geometry, cutting tool material and the type of coating used to improve hardness and resistance to wear, and also cutting parameters. W...

Cryogenic machining is considered as the most sustainable alternative to conventional flood-cooled, near-dry and dry machining approaches in machining processes. This paper presents the application of a sustainability evaluation methodology for manufacturing processes, focusing on cryogenic machining processes. The methodology used here involves a metrics-based Process Sustainability Index (Pro...

In this paper, the straight flute end-milling cutter used for machining of Al-Si-Mg-Fe alloy work pieces was investigated. The machining processes could induce residual stresses that enhance greatly the performance of the machined component. Machining residual stresses correlate very closely with the cutting parameters. In the experiments, the residual stress on the surface of workpiece was mea...

III ABSTRACT This report documents the steps taken to gain insight into the phenomena of high speed machining (HSM) of titanium alloys. This was done by firstly studying titanium alloys and the problems associated with machining titanium alloys. An experimental set-up and procedure was developed for measuring and recording both the machining temperature and component forces. A sufficient set of...
