On time replacement of a cutting tool with a new one is an important task in Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS). A fuzzy logic-based approach was used in the present study to predict and simulate the tool wear progress in turning operation. Cutting parameters and cutting forces were considered as the input and the wear rate was regarded as the output data in the fuzzy logic for construct...

Diamond wire sawing is one of the most widely used methods cutting Al2O3 ceramic because it has good machining accuracy and causes less surface damage. However, its material removal rate (MRR) needs to be improved with increasing demand for parts. In this paper, spark discharges are generated around diamond based on electrochemical discharge (ECDM) process. An oil film-assisted ECDM process app...

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...
