The use of cutting fluid in manufacturing industries has now become more problematic due to environmental pollution and health related problems of employees. Also the minimization of cutting fluid leads to the saving of lubricant cost and cleaning time of machine, tool and work-piece. The concept of minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) has come in to practice since a decade ago in order to overco...

This paper presents an approach for modeling and prediction of both surface roughness and cutting zone temperature in turning of AISI304 austenitic stainless steel using multi-layer coated (TiCN+TiC+TiCN+TiN) tungsten carbide tools. The proposed approach is based on an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) with particle swarm optimization (PSO) learning. AISI304 stainless steel bars are...

The most emerging needs of the modern metal cutting operation are to increase the material removal rate with better surface finish and high machining accuracy. These objectives can be achieved by reducing cutting temperature in the cutting zone. In metal cutting process, high cutting temperature and its detrimental effects are generally reduced by proper selection of process parameters, proper ...

the built up layer thickness in secondary deformation zone is one of the important parameters in metal cutting process. the built up layer (bul) is formed in second deformation zone near the tool-chip interface in the back of the chip. this parameter influences the tool life and machined surface quality. this bul should not be confused with the built up edge (bue). the deformation of the bul in...

Optimization of process parameters is the key step in response surface methods to achieve high quality without cost inflation. The multi-response optimization of the machining parameters viz, chip-tool interface temperature, main cutting force and feed force on lathe turning of En-31 steel as alloy steel using RSM with grey relational analysis is reported. A grey relational grade obtained from ...

The built up layer thickness in secondary deformation zone is one of the important parameters in metal cutting process. The built up layer (BUL) is formed in second deformation zone near the tool-chip interface in the back of the chip. This parameter influences the tool life and machined surface quality. This BUL should not be confused with the built up edge (BUE). The deformation of the BUL in...

High-speed machining offers several advantages such as increased flexibility and productivity for discrete-part manufacturing. However, excessive heat generation and resulting high temperatures on the tool and workpiece surfaces in high-speed machining leads to a shorter tool life and poor part quality, especially if the tool edge geometry and cutting conditions were not selected properly. In t...

In this paper, a numerical model based on the finite difference method is presented to predict tool and chip temperature fields in continuous machining and time varying milling processes. Continuous or steady state machining operations like orthogonal cutting are studied by modeling the heat transfer between the tool and chip at the tool—rake face contact zone. The shear energy created in the p...

In this paper, a predictive thermal and analytical modeling approach for orthogonal cutting process is introduced to conveniently calculate forces, stress, and temperature distributions. The modeling approach is based on the work material constitutive model, which depends on strain, strain rate, and temperature. In thermal modeling, oblique moving band heat source theory is utilized and analyti...

Original scientific paper In this paper, the results of investigations of the temperature field distribution and tool wearing during C60 steel turning are presented. Abrasive wear resistance tests were carried out for cutters made of low-alloy high-speed steel. Steel samples were heat treated, and then were subjected to ion nitriding, TiN coating, or to complex treatment. The influence of cutti...
