Surface roughness is considered as one of the most specified customer requirements in machining processes. For efficient use of machine tools, selection of machining process and determination of optimal cutting parameters (speed, feed and depth of cut) are required. Therefore, it is necessary to find a suitable way to select and to find optimal machining process and cutting parameters for a spe...

this work presents an experimental investigation of the influence of the six important machining parameters (tool nose radius, tool rake angle, feed rate, cutting speed, cutting environment (dry, wet and cooled) and depth of cut) on surface roughness & material removal rate in the machining unidirectional glass fiber reinforced plastics (ud-gfrp) composite using carbide (k10) cutting tool durin...

In this paper, fuzzy logic integrated with the Taguchi method is used to optimize Wire Electro Discharge Machining (WEDM) process with multiple quality characteristics. Rough machining with EDM gives poor surface finish and has micro cracks and pores. Finish machining gives better surface finish but with very poor machining speed (MRR). Spark gap width is one of the important performance measur...

In this paper, a simulated annealing algorithm has been developed to optimize machining parameters in turning operation on cylindrical workpieces. The turning operation usually includes several passes of rough machining and a final pass of finishing. Seven different constraints are considered in a non-linear model where the goal is to achieve minimum total cost. The weighted total cost consists...

L.T. Tunc , E. Budak * Sabanci University, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Istanbul-Turkiye * [email protected] Abstract 5-axis milling is widely used in machining of complex surfaces such as airfoils. Improper selection of machining parameters may cause low productivity and undesired results during machining. There are several constraints such as available power and torque, c...

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...

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...

manufacturing process frequently employs optimization of machining parameters in order to improve product quality as well as to enhance productivity. the material removal rate is a significant indicator of the productivity and cost efficiency of the process. taguchi method has been implemented for assessing favorable (optimal) machining condition during the machining of nylon by considering thr...

Article history: Received: 27.6.2013. Received in revised form: 14.11.2013. Accepted: 19.11.2013. Aluminum based Metal Matrix Composites (AlMMC) have been found in different industrial applications due to their excellent properties compared to conventional materials. Machining of these composites is difficult due to their hard particle reinforcements. The wider usage of these composites is limi...

A machining operation is basically termed a material removal process, where material is removed in the form of chips. In a machining operation, the output parameter is achieved by controlling various input parameters. This paper discusses the effects of various input parameters in abrasive Jet machining (AJM) on the output parameter(Metal Removal Rate [MRR).This paper presents an extensive revi...
