in this study, the application of gray relational analysis (gra) and taguchi method in multi-criteria process parameters selection of turning operation has been investigated. the process responses under study are material removal rate (mrr) and surface roughness (sr); in turn, the input parameters include cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and nose radius of the cutting tool. the proposed a...

Mechanical machining processes are common manufacturing strategies to re-shape materials to desired specification. The mechanistic approach has revealed the mechanics of the machining processes with various parameters determined. The aim of this work is to investigate the impact of swept angle optimization and their influence on the specific cutting energy in milling AISI 1045 steel alloy. This...

In this research work the tool-chip interface temperature is measured experimentally during turning of EN-31 steel alloy with tungsten carbide inserts using a tool-work thermocouple technique. First and secondorder mathematical models are developed in terms of machining parameters by using the response surface methodology on the basis of the experimental results. The results are analyzed statis...

This paper presents a new model for the estimation of cutting forces in micromilling based on specific cutting pressure. The proposed model includes three parameters which allow to control the entry of the cutter in the workpiece and which consider also the errors in the radial position of the cutting edges of the tool. The presented model is orientated to adaptive control in the micromilling p...

Surface roughness is a result of the cutting parameters such as: cutting speed, feed per tooth and the axial depth of cut, also the tool’s geometry, tool’s wear vibrations, etc. Moreover, the surface finish influences mechanical properties such as fatigue behaviour, wear, corrosion, lubrication and electrical conductivity and the combination of cutting parameters influence the power consumption...

The process of cutting is analysed in fracture mechanics terms with a view to quantifying the various parameters involved. The model used is that of orthogonal cutting with a wedge removing a layer of material or chip. The behaviour of the chip is governed by its thickness and for large radii of curvature the chip is elastic and smooth cutting occurs. For smaller thicknesses, there is a transit...

Modeling of manufacturing operations is an important tool for production planning, optimization and control. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) can handle strong non-linearity, large number of parameters, missing information. Based on their inherent learning capabilities ANNs can adapt themselves to changes of the production environment and can be used also in the case if there is no exact knowl...
