In automation flexible manufacturing systems, tool wear detection during the cutting process is one of the most important considerations. This study presents an intelligent system for online tool condition monitoring in drilling process .In this paper, analytical and empirical models have been used to predict the thrust and cutting forces on the lip and chisel edges of a new drill. Also an empi...

ABSTRACT Inconel 718 is a difficult-to-cut nickel-based superalloy commonly used in aerospace industry. This paper presents an experimental study of the tool wear propagation and cutting force variations in the end milling of Inconel 718 with coated carbide inserts. The experimental results showed that significant flank wear was the predominant failure mode affecting the tool life. The tool fla...

A new on-line tool wear states detecting method, with spindle and feed current signal in boring, is presented. By analyzing the effects of tool wear, as well as the cutting parameters on the current signals, the models of the relationship between the current signals and the cutting parameters are established under different tool wear state s with partial experimental design and regression analy...

The challenges of machining, particularly milling, glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composites are their abrasiveness (which lead to excessive tool wear) and susceptible to workpiece damage when improper machining parameters are used. It is imperative that the condition of cutting tool being monitored during the machining process of GFRP composites so as to re-compensating the effect of to...

the plain carbon steel “ck45” has relatively well mechanical and metallurgical properties and low cost. the purpose of this research was the property evaluation of this steel on abrasive wear and impact for using in plows and other tillage tools. tillage tool should resist in abrasive wear and impact simultaneously. several heat treatments were done on specimens of this steel. a standard test d...

In this paper, wavelet transforms and fuzzy techniques are used to monitor tool breakage and wear conditions in real time according to the measured spindle and feed motor currents, respectively. First, the continuous and discrete wavelet transforms are used to decompose the spindle and feed ac servo motor current signals to extract signal features so as to detect the breakage of drills successf...

A model of the flank wear of cutting tools is developed by using linear control theory. The flank wear is assumed to consist of a mechanically activated and a thermally activated component. The wear process is mathematically treated as a feedback process, whereby the progressive wear raises the cutting forces and temperature thereby increasing the thermally activated wear-rate, and contributes ...

A high strength nickel chromium alloy (50Cr-50Ni-Nb alloy), commonly referred to as IN-657, is specifically used for components in furnaces which are fired by low grade fuel oils containing high levels of vanadium, sodium and sulphur. The purpose of this study is to experimentally investigatethe effect of machining parameters on machinability in turning of Inconel 657. The considered parameters...

Parameter estimation for trending analysis is a generic problem with broad applications. In manufacturing, trending analysis can be applied to tool wear estimation, which not only affects the tool life but also and the quality of a machined product. Consequently, in-situ tool wear monitoring and remaining tool life prediction play a significant role in ensuring precision and cost-effective manu...
