Abstract—The machinability of workpieces (AISI 1045 Steel, AA2024 aluminum alloy, A48-class30 gray cast iron) in turning operation has been carried out using different types of cutting tool (conventional, cutting tool with holes in toolholder and cutting tool filled up with composite material) under dry conditions on a turning machine at different stages of spindle speed (630-1000 rpm), feed ra...

Glass fiber reinforced plastics are finding its increased applications in various engineering fields such as aerospace, automobile, electronics and other industries. This paper discusses the use of fuzzy logic for modeling turning parameters in turning of glass fiber reinforced plastics by carbide tool (K-20). Experiments were conducted based on the established Taguchi‟s Design of Experiments (...

We investigate two cutting problems and their variants in which orthogonal rotations are allowed. We present a dynamic programming based algorithm for the Two-dimensional Guillotine Cutting Problem with Value (GCV) that uses the recurrence formula proposed by Beasley and the discretization points defined by Herz. We show that if the items are not so small compared to the dimension of the bin, t...

In present work, prediction the effect of nose radius, rz (mm) on the equivalent strain (PEEQ) and surface finish during the machining of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) through orthogonal cutting process. The results were performed at several of the nose radiuses, rz (mm) while the cutting speed, vc (m/min), feed rate, f (mm/tooth) and depth of cut, d (mm) were remained constant. The equivalent pla...

Under normal machining conditions, the cutting forces are primarily due to the bulk shearing of the workpiece material in a narrow zone called the shear zone. However, under finishing conditions, when the uncut chip thickness is of the order of the cutting edge radius, a ploughing component of the forces becomes significant as compared to the shear forces. Predicting forces under these conditio...

This paper deals with modelling of the orthogonal machining process using tools with different geometries. The finite element method (FEM) is used for a simulation based on the Lagrangian formulation including ANSYS/LS-DYNA software. The constitutive Johnson – Cook material model regarding strain, strain rate and temperature to predict material plasticity and chip separation is used. Chip morph...

Titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V and nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718 have been widely employed in modern manufacturing. The published literature on high speed machining (HSM) of the two materials often involves different machining set-up, which makes it difficult to directly apply the research findings from onematerial to the other to select the most appropriate tool geometry and cutting conditions...

This research work focusses on optimization of machining and geometrical parameters during turning AISI 1045 steel using carbide cutting tool insert, by Finite Element Analysis and Taguchi’s Technique. Three levels of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, cutting insert shape, relief angle and nose radius are chosen. A suitable L18 Orthogonal array is selected based on Taguchi’s Design of Exp...

Machining can be outlined as the process of taking away material from a work piece in the grade of chips. During a machining process, isolated of the energy is turned into heat energy through the detritions yielded between the tool and the work piece and the plastic deformation of the work material in the machining zone. Turning is charmed by several constituents, for example, the cutting speed...

In this paper, empirical modeling of surface roughness in CO2 laser cutting of mild steel using the multiple regression analysis (MRA) and artificial neural network (ANN) was presented. To cover wider range of laser cutting parameters such as cutting speed, laser power and assist gas pressure as well as to obtain experimental database for MRA and ANN model development, Taguchi’s L25 orthogonal ...
