in this research using statistical analysis the effect of machining parameters such as cutting velocity, feed rate, and tool type on machining power (p m ) in machining process of en-ac 48000 aluminum alloy has been studied. a taguchi l 27 standard array has been utilized as the most economical array to evaluate the factors and their interaction. en-ac 48000 alloy is frequently used in automoti...

Optimization of cutting parameters important in precision machining in regards to efficiency and surface integrity of the machined part. Usually productivity and precision in machining is limited by the forces emanating from the cutting process. Due to the inherent varying nature of the workpiece in terms of geometry and material composition, the peak cutting forces vary from point to point dur...

One of the important trends in precision machining is the development of real-time error compensation technique. This paper presents the research work under the authors and their team in this area. The technique has been applied to more than 10 different kinds of machines including: turning centers and machining centers; small, medium and large machines; new products and retrofitted machines. T...

The condition of a cutting tool is an important factor in manufacturing processes. Tool wear has a strong influence on the cutting forces, resulting in a poor surface finish and impacting on the dimensional tolerance of the workpiece. Therefore, the use of a dynamometer during machining to measure cutting forces is a well-known approach but it has several limitations such as high cost, poor per...

In this study, a comprehensive investigation on nano-scale machining of polycrystalline copper structures is carried out by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Simulation cases are constructed to study the impacts of grain size, as well as various machining parameters. Six polycrystalline copper structures are produced, which have the corresponding equivalent grain sizes of 5.32, 6.70, 8.44, 13...

Sculptured surface machining (SSM) is one of the continually used manufacturing processes for die/mold, aerospace(especially turbine blades), precision machine design, bio-medical devices and automotive industries. Developments of machining technologies for quality enhancement of machining results has become a very important fact in current real industry. Off-line feedrate adjusting is a new me...

This work presents a PCD (polycrystalline diamond) end mill with a new staggered structure for the milling of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic). The magnitude and direction of cutting force is decreased and changed by side-edge re-configuration of the structure. The flute and insert pocket of the staggered PCD end mill are designed considering the tool’s stiffness and welding process. The ...

Inappropriate machining conditions such as cutting forces cause tool failures, poor surface quality and worst of all machine breakdowns. This may be avoided by using optimal machining parameters, e.g. feed-rate, and continuing to monitor it throughout the machining process. To optimize feed-rate, we propose a system that consists of an optimisation module, a process control module and a knowled...

This paper deals with the study of machinability of GFRP composite tubes of different fiber orientation angle vary from 30 to 90. Machining studies were carried out on an all geared lathe using three different cutting tools: namely Carbide (K-20), Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) and Poly-Crystalline Diamond (PCD). Experiments were conducted based on the established Taguchi’s Design of Experiments (DO...
