A novel machining of multi irregular surface using improved noncircular turning method

The backplane processing is an important part of the manufacture of electronic communication equipment; the current processing of backplane surface, especially the rough machining, is still using milling; and the production efficiency is quite low. This paper presents a new method to turn with a cylinder for the rough machining of multi backplane surfaces, which is based on a conventional horizontal lathe and uses the improved method of noncircular machining. The performance requirements of fast tool servo (FTS) device and control model for the machining of noncircular surface are analyzed firstly; the position following control strategy is used instead of traditional position interpolation, according to the multi backplane surfaces machining technology and control strategy; and a novel algorithm, which is combined UG (Unigraphics NX) software surface fitting with cubic spline curve fitting of multi backplanes’ space, is proposed for computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software design. Finally, the proposed processing method and CAM model algorithm are proved to be effective through the simulation and actual verifications, the products meet the processing requirements and the processing time of each piece is reduced from 8 to 2 min, and they also greatly improve the production automation and achieve energy saving and emission reduction.

An experimental investigation of cylindrical wire electrical discharge turning process

The cylindrical wire electrical discharge turning (CWEDT) process was developed to generate precise cylindrical forms on hard, difficult to machine materials. A precise, flexible, and corrosion-resistant submerged rotary spindle was designed and added to a conventional five-axis CNC wire electrical discharge machine (EDM) to enable the generation of free-form cylindrical geometries. The hardness and strength of the work material are no longer the dominating factors that affect the tool wear and hinder the machining process. In this study, the effect of machining parameters on surface roughness (R _a) and roundness in cylindrical CWEDT of a AISI D3 tool steel is investigated. The selection of this material was made taking into account its wide range of applications in tools, dies, and molds and in industries such as punching, tapping, reaming, and so on in cylindrical forms. Surface roughness and roundness are chosen as two of the machining performances to verify the process. In addition, power, pulse off-time, voltage, and spindle rotational speed are adopted for evaluation by full factorial design of experiments. In this case, a 2²?×?3² mixed full factorial design has been selected considering the number of factors used in the present study. The main effects of factors and interactions were considered in this paper, and regression equations were derived using response surface methodology. Finally, the surfaces of the CWEDT parts were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to identify the macro-ridges and craters on the surface. Cross sections of the EDM parts were examined using the SEM and microhardness tests to quantify the sub-surface recast layers and heat-affected zones under specific process parameters.     

Development of a novel variable rake angle mechanism for noncircular turning and its control

A prototype tool stage with a variable rake angle mechanism has been developed and controlled. The objective of the variable rake angle mechanism is to provide two-degrees-of-freedom to the conventional noncircular turning process, so that the rotational tool mechanism can compensate for the rake angle change caused by the noncircular cam profile itself while the translational tool motion generates the cam profile. Inverse kinematics, kinematic sensitivity and stiffness, and design of the variable rake angle mechanism are discussed. Robust repetitive controllers are designed for two actuators in the variable rake angle mechanism. Two actuators operate together to change the tool position as well as the tool angle. Experimental results on the variable rake angle mechanism support the design concept and control approach.     

Automatic selection of spindle speed for suppression of regenerative chatter in turning

The paper presents a new spindle speed regulation method to avoid regenerative chatter in turning operations. It is not necessary to analyse complex cutting dynamics to search for stable spindle speeds to eliminate regenerative chatter. The metal removal rate is also greatly improved by using this method. The stability lobe diagram for the stability limit of chip width and chatter frequency versus spindle speed is derived by using the Nyquist stability criterion. It is shown that stable spindle speeds can be automatically obtained when the chatter frequency is found. Computational simulations and experimental cutting tests are performed to illustrate the proposed method.     

The analysis of tool life and wear mechanisms in spindle speed variation machining

Regenerative chatter vibrations generally limit the achievable material removal rate in machining. The diffusion of spindle speed variation (SSV) as a chatter suppression strategy is mainly restricted to academy and research centers. A lack of knowledge concerning the effects of non-stationary machining is still limiting its use in real shop floors. This research is focused on the effects of spindle speed variation technique on tool duration and on wear mechanisms. No previous researches have been performed on this specific topic. Tool wear tests in turning were carried out following a factorial design: cutting speed and cutting speed modulation were the investigated factors. The carbide life was the observed process response. A statistical approach was used to analyze the effects of the factors on the tool life. Moreover, the analysis was extended to the wear mechanisms involved during both constant speed machining and SSV. The worn-out carbide surfaces were examined under a scanning electron microscope equipped with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. Significant differences were appreciated. It was observed that SSV tends to detach the coatings of the inserts, entailing a mechanism that is quite unusual in wet steel turning and thus fostering the wear of the tool. The performed analysis allowed to deduce that the intensified tool wear (in SSV cutting) is mainly due to thermo-mechanical fatigue.

Surface quality investigation of turbine blade steels for turning process

The quality of surface or surface finish is the widely used index of product quality and it is also critical in functional behavior of the products like turbine blades, especially when they are in contact with other medium or the materials. This paper presents the surface quality evaluation of turbine blade steels (ST 174PH, ST 12TE and ST T1/13W) for different combination of cutting parameters viz. speed, feed and depth of cut in a CNC turning process. The response surface method (RSM) is devised in design of experiments and 20 experiments per material are conducted in surface quality evaluation and analysis. The results are analyzed using ANOVA and different graphical methods like contour plot and 3D surface graphs. The reasons for the highest surface roughness of ST 174PH material are analyzed using metallurgical perspective. The regression equations for predicting the surface roughness of the materials are formulated in terms of cutting parameters based on experimental results and are verified using confirmatory experiments.

Modelling and experimental investigation of spindle and cutter dynamics for a high-precision machining center

The geometric quality of high-precision parts is highly dependent on the dynamic performance of the entire machining system, which is determined by the interrelated dynamics of machine tool mechanical structure and cutting process. This performance is of great importance in advanced, high-precision manufacturing processes, including aerospace and biomedical applications. In this paper, the dynamics of the combined spindle/cutter system, a major component of any machine tool, is identified using impact testing techniques and is successfully approximated by a second-order linear model. Results of computer simulations of machining processes that include the identified spindle/cutter dynamics show a significant influence on the quality of the final product. From this, it is concluded that, for precision workpieces, the dynamics of the spindle and cutter system will have to be taken into account in order to improve future machining controls and processes.     

Experimental investigation of machining characteristics and chatter stability for Hastelloy-X with ultrasonic and hot turning

Ultrasonic-assisted machining is a machining operation based on the intermittent cutting of material which is obtained through vibrations generated by an ultrasonic system. This method utilizes low-amplitude vibrations with high frequency to prevent continuous contact between a cutting tool and a workpiece. Hot machining is another method for machining materials which are difficult to cut. The basic principle of this method is that the surface of the workpiece is heated to a specific temperature below the recrystallization temperature of the material. This heating operation can be applied before or during the machining process. Both of these operations improve machining operations in terms of workpiece-cutting tool characteristics. In this study, a novel hybrid machining method called hot ultrasonic-assisted turning (HUAT) is proposed for the machinability of Hastelloy-X material. This new technique combines ultrasonic-assisted turning (UAT) and hot turning methods to take advantage of both machining methods in terms of machining characteristics, such as surface roughness, stable cutting depths, and cutting tool temperature. In order to observe the effect of the HUAT method, Hastelloy-X alloy was selected as the workpiece. Experiments on conventional turning (CT), UAT, and HUAT operations were carried out for Hastelloy-X alloy, changing the cutting speed and cutting tool overhang lengths. Chip morphology was also observed. In addition, modal and sound tests were performed to investigate the modal and stability characteristics of the machining. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) method was performed to find the effect of the cutting speed, tool overhang length, and machining techniques (CT, UAT, HUAT) on surface roughness, stable cutting depths, and cutting tool temperature. The results show both ultrasonic vibration and heat improve the machining of Hastelloy-X. A decrease in surface roughness and an increase in stable cutting depths were observed, and higher cutting tool temperatures were obtained in UAT and HUAT compared to CT. According to the ANOVA results, tool overhang length, cutting speed, and machining techniques were effective parameters for surface roughness and stable cutting depths at a 1% significance level (p ≤ 0.01). In addition, cutting speed and machining techniques have an influence on cutting tool temperature at a 1% significance level (p ≤ 0.01). During chip analysis, serrated chips were observed in UAT and HUAT.
