The nozzle shape was investigated in order to develop a high performance nozzle for pulsed Nd:YAG laser cutting, and its effect on fine cutting of thin metal plate was also discussed. In the case of 0.5mm throat diameter Laval throat nozzle with an initial expansion zone, the pressure on workpiece increased, and the straightness of gas flow was improved compared to a traditional straight throat...

This paper investigates the interaction between cutting tool edge radius and material separation due to ductile fracture based on Atkins’ model of machining. Atkins’ machining model considers the energy needed for material separation in addition to energies required for shearing at the primary shear zone and friction at the secondary shear zone. However, the effect of cutting tool edge radius, ...

Material processing of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) parts by means of shape-cutting or jet-cutting technologies is state of the art today. These processes still perform in some applications with lack of part quality such as delamination and low productivity. Therefore, laser cutting processes have a great potential in material processing of CFRP. Laser process parameters have to be a...

The article proposes concept of solution development for diagnosis and control of real-time cutting tool in for edge cutting machining. The functional model of a diagnosis subsystem based on data reading from sensors of various types established in a cutting zone is developed. Algorithms of subsystem accepted signals processing and averaging, allowing define condition of cutting tool with defin...

Abstract Austempered ductile iron (ADI) is a difficult material with severe tool wear during machining, due to the high cutting temperatures in zone. In this paper, mathematical model of temperature developed based on turning experiment, and impact speed, feeding depth ADI studied. When speed feed increase, large amount heat cannot be dissipated, zone increases. increases, increase dissipation ...

the use of titanium and its alloys has increased in various industries recently, because of their superior properties of these alloys. titanium alloys are generally classified as difficult to machine materials because of their thermo-mechanical properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and low thermal conductivity. laser assisted machining (lam) improves the machinability of high strengt...

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...
