Machinability aspect is of considerable importance for efficient process planning in manufacturing. Machinability of an engineering material may be evaluated in terms of the process output variables like material removal rate, processed surface finish, cutting forces, tool life, specific power consumption, etc. In this paper, graph theoretic approach (GTA) is proposed to evaluate the cutting fo...

in this paper it is attempted to investigate the behavior of an inviscid flow in the meridional plane of an axial flow compressor. for this purpose the 3-d unsteady euler equations in cylindrical coordinate are averaged in tangential direction. therefore, the equations are reduced to a 2-d system. by averaging the tangential component of momentum equation, a blade force will result. axial and r...

This paper presents a study the effect of nose radius (Rz-mm) on cutting force components and temperatures during the machining simulation in an orthogonal cutting process for titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V). The cutting process was performed at various nose radiuses (Rz-mm) while the depth of cut (d-mm), feed rate (fmm/tooth) and cutting speed (vc-m/ min) were remained constant. The main cutting fo...

According to the wide application of segmental lining in mechanized tunneling, recognizing the behavior of segmental lining joints is important in tunnels designing. In the structural analysis of the tunnel segmental lining, segmental joints can be considered as elastic joints, and their stiffness characteristics are affected by the rotational, shear, and axial stiffness. The purpose of this wo...

This paper investigates the effect of different cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut) on cutting force components and material removal rate (MRR) in dry and wet hard turning processes. The workpiece material, hardened alloy steel AISI 52100, was machined on a CNC lathe with coated carbide tool under different settings of cutting parameters. Three cutting parameters eac...

As a key parameter, stiffness determines the dynamic characteristics of both bearing and spindle unit. However, interactions between speed, initial preload, cutting force caused by thermal expansion unit components alter during running process. Aiming to carry out real-time online monitoring their effect on machine tool stiffness, fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors network was proposed. Further,...

In this study, turning operation of Monel K500 copper-nickel super-alloy was evaluated. Ceramic cutting tools with two different cutting noses (conventional and wiper) were utilized. At first, the experimental tests were designed by using central composite design method. After implementation of the tests, the statistical models for output data (surface roughness, cutting force, and flank wear) ...

The application of conventional cutting fluids in machining operations is harmful and not eco-friendly. In this context, the present work focuses on environmental friendly cutting fluids such as vegetable oil based cutting fluids (VBCFs). The objective of this work is to determine the influence of vegetable oil based cutting fluids (sesame and coconut oil) with extreme pressure (EP) additive on...

This study is an investigation of the machinability of experimental Ti-Cu alloys (2, 5, and 10mass% Cu) as new dental titanium alloy candidates for CAD/CAM use. The alloys were slotted with a vertical milling machine and carbide square end mills under two cutting conditions. Their machinability was evaluated through cutting force using a three-component force transducer fixed on the table of th...
