In machining industry, cutting fluids have an important role due to their lubrication, cooling and chip removal functions. Using of cutting fluids can improve machining process efficiency, tool life, surface quality and it can reduce cutting forces and vibrations. However, health and environmental problems are encountered with the use of cutting fluids. Therefore, there has been a high demand f...

Fuzzy Logic has found popularity in the academic community and widespread use in the industry due to ever increasing complexities in systems, at the core of which lies vagueness, uncertainty and imprecision in information. The proposition of fuzzy set theory, specifically Fuzzy Inference Systems (FIS) led to an explosion of its application in diverse fields including manufacturing especially ma...

Abrasive machining is one of the most non-conventional processes for finishing. It is widely used in industry to machine the materials like mild steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, glass, hard rock material, graphite, composite material, ceramics etc.Like in abrasive jet machining. This technique uses jet which contains abrasive material. Now a day water-magnetic abrasive machining is one of the...

Today one of the top priorities in the machining industry is to increase or retain the profit margin through cost reduction. In addition, consumers are becoming increasingly aware of the impact that the life cycle of products has on the environment, at the time of their choice. So companies are required to research and develop sustainable processes or adapt existing ones. This research has been...

Utilizing MATLAB to develop graphical user interface in modeling of machining responses is a very rare case among researchers, especially for the complex and nonlinear machining processes. Since it is more complicated and time consuming for one to explore artificial intelligent tools to model a process or response using MATLAB due to unfamiliarity and phobia of programming, a new approach is ve...

correct selection of manufacturing condition is one of the most important aspects which should be considered in the majority of manufacturing processes,  particularly in the process related to advanced machining process like electrical discharge machining. in electrical discharge machining (edm), dielectric fluid plays an important role since machining characteristics are greatly influenced by ...

Milling is one of the most common manufacturing processes in industry. Despite recent advances in machining technology, productivity in milling is usually reduced due to the process limitations such as high cutting forces and stability. If milling conditions are not selected properly, the process may result in violations of machine limitations and part quality, or reduced productivity. The usua...

Sustainability has become a very significant research topic since it impacts many different manufacturing industries. The adoption of sustainable manufacturing practices and technologies offers industry a cost effective route to improve economic, environmental, and social performance. As a major manufacturing process, the machining system plays an important role for sustainable manufacturing on...

Until recently, mass producers have relied on long serial lines of dedicated machines in order to machine products at high volumes. Today, as the cost of CNC machining centers decreases, more and more highvolume manufacturers are examining the alternative of shorter lines with more machines configured in parallel. This paper presents the main principles for selecting the right machining system ...
