The effect on fatigue life of residual stress and surface hardness resulting from different cutting conditions of 0.45%C steel

The affected layer is generated within the machined surface layer through the cutting process. Cutting conditions such as the nose radius of the tool, feed rate and shape of cutting edge at the finishing operation affect the residual stress, surface hardness, and surface roughness. In this paper, it is shown that such machined surface property could be controlled by the setting of the cutting conditions to some extent. Then the effect of the machining conditions on the fatigue life was investigated through a fatigue test using the specimen finished under various cutting conditions. It was shown that it is possible to get longer fatigue life for machined parts than the virgin material or the carefully finished material without affected layer, only by setting the proper cutting conditions. Such a situation was realized when the generated residual stress was small and the induced surface hardness was high. A longer fatigue life for the machined components can be obtained by applying such cutting conditions as a low feed rate, a small corner radius and a chamfered cutting edge tool.     

Determination of surface and in-depth residual stress distributions induced by hard milling of H13 steel

In the present study, an experimental investigation was conducted to determine the effects of surface texture, cutting parameters and phase transformation on the surface and in-depth residual stress distributions induced by hard milling of AISI H13 steel (50?±?1HRc) with the coated carbide tools. The results show that the surface residual stress distribution between two adjacent machined lays has the same periodic variational regularity as the surface profiles, which means that the surface residual stress distribution has a high correlation with the machined surface texture. Surface residual stresses in the pick direction are much more compressive than that in the feed direction; at the same time, radial depth of cut and feed are the main cutting parameters affecting surface residual stresses. Very thin white layer forms or even no obvious microstructural alteration appears in the subsurface. Phase transformations of the subsurface material deeply affect the in-depth residual stress distribution, a ??hook?? shaped residual stress profile beneath the machined surface is generated in which the maximum compressive stresses occur at the depth of 3?C18???m below the surface.     

Residual stress distribution caused by milling

The effects of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on the residual stress distribution in the machined surface region caused by milling of five different materials are determined using an electrolytic etching-deflection technique. The analysis of the experimental data is carried out using response surface methodology (RSM).The results show that the residual stress is low tensile at the machined surface and increases with an increase in depth beneath the surface reaching a maximum tensile, then decreases with a further increase in depth, eventually becoming vanishingly small. The peak residual stress is found to be strongly dependent on both milling conditions and tensile strength of work material. A mathematical model correlating the process input parameters and their interactions with the residual stress is proposed.     

Effect of tool nose radius and tool wear on residual stress distribution in hard turning of bearing steel

This study presents a experimental investigation to clarify the effects of tool nose radius and tool wear on residual stress distribution in hard turning of bearing steel JIS SUJ2. Three types of CBN tools with different nose radius (0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 mm) were used in this study. The residual stresses beneath the machined surface were measured using X-ray diffraction technique and electro-polishing technique. The results obtained in this study show that the tool nose radius affects the residual stress distribution significantly. Especially the effect on the residual stresses at the machined surface at early stage of cutting process is remarkable. For the tool wear, as the tool wear increases, the residual stress at the machined surface shifts to tensile stress range and the residual compressive stress beneath the machined surface increases greatly.     

Experimental and numerical modelling of the residual stresses induced in orthogonal cutting of AISI 316L steel

Residual stresses in the machined surface layers are affected by the cutting tool, work material, cutting regime parameters (cutting speed, feed and depth of cut) and contact conditions at the tool/chip and tool/workpiece interfaces. In this paper, the effects of tool geometry, tool coating and cutting regime parameters on residual stress distribution in the machined surface and subsurface of AISI 316L steel are experimentally and numerically investigated. In the former case, the X-ray diffraction technique is applied, while in the latter an elastic–viscoplastic FEM formulation is implemented. The results show that residual stresses increase with most of the cutting parameters, including cutting speed, uncut chip thickness and tool cutting edge radius. However, from the range of cutting parameters investigated, uncut chip thickness seems to be the parameter that has the strongest influence on residual stresses. The results also show that sequential cuts tend to increase superficial residual stresses.     

Development of a new tool to generate compressive residual stress within a machined surface

Generally, critical machined parts such as aircraft parts require high fatigue strength and resistance to stress corrosion cracking. These machined parts almost all usually have tensile residual stress within the machined surface after milling. However, if the compressive residual stress within the machined surface can be obtained by a milling process alone, it is expected that fatigue strength and resistance to stress corrosion cracking of the machined components will be improved. The purpose of this study is to develop a new tool that can generate compressive residual stress within the machined surface concurrently with the milling process. This tool has cutting edges for material removal and a projection pin for a burnishing-like process. It was shown that the proposed cutter could generate effective compressive residual stress within the machined surface during the milling process. Residual stress levels were in the region of −100 to −200 MPa on the machined surface, and −300 to −400 MPa at 0.05 mm beneath the surface. These levels are almost comparable with those obtained by the shot peening process.

Study on surface damages caused by turning NiCr20TiAl nickel-based alloy

The machined surface damages were investigated after NiCr20TiAl nickel-based alloy was turned in the various cutting conditions. It is found that the plastic deformation and carbide particles of NiCr20TiAl alloy are responsible for the machined surface damages during turning. When the carbide particles are removed from the machined surface during machining, the residual cracks inside surfaces are linked together due to a steep rise in the shear stress, which results in the surface cavities and plucking. The slip zones are formed inside the machined surfaces because the dislocation movement is inhibited by many grain boundaries of NiCr20TiAl alloy during machining, and a work-hardening layer with a non-uniform depth is produced. At the cutting speed of 100 m/min, feed of 0.15 mm/r and depth of cut of 1 mm, a relatively smooth surface with the thinner work-hardening layer is generated owning to the reduced cutting force.     

Dry machining of Inconel 718, workpiece surface integrity

In the machining of Inconel 718, nickel based heat resistant superalloy and classified difficult-to-cut material, the consumption of cooling lubricant is very important. To reduce the costs of production and to make the processes environmentally safe, the goal is to move toward dry cutting by eliminating cutting fluids. This goal can be achieved by using coated carbide tool and by increasing cutting speed.The present paper firstly reviews the main works on surface integrity and especially residual stresses when machining Inconel 718 superalloy. It focuses then on the effect of dry machining on surface integrity. Wet and dry turning tests were performed at various cutting speeds, with semi-finishing conditions (0.5 mm depth of cut and 0.1 mm/rev feed rate) and using a coated carbide tool. For each cutting test, cutting force was measured, machined surface was observed, and residual stress profiles were determined. An optimal cutting speed of 60 m/min was determined, and additional measurements and observations were performed. Microhardness increment and the microstructure alteration beneath the machined surface were analysed. It is demonstrated that dry machining with a coated carbide tool leads to potentially acceptable surface quality with residual stresses and microhardness values in the machining affected zone of the same order than those obtained in wet conditions when using the optimised cutting speed value; in addition, no severe microstructure alteration was depicted.

Surface integrity of milling in-situ TiB2 particle reinforced Al matrix composites

The preparation process and material properties of in-situ TiB₂ particle reinforced Al matrix composites are quite different from conventional ex-situ Al matrix composites (SiC_p/Al composites). Most researches have been carried out mainly focus on the machinability of SiC_p/Al composites, but few studies about the machinability of in-situ TiB₂ particle reinforced Al matrix composites have been published. To address this issue, experimental researches were conducted to investigate the surface integrity (surface roughness, residual stress, microhardness, surface topography, defects) of milling in-situ TiB₂ particle reinforced Al matrix composites in this paper. By examining the machined surface with SEM and EDS for different machining parameters, the influences of cutting speed, feed rate, cutting depth and width on surface integrity were investigated. The results show that feed rate has the dominant influence on surface roughness. As the feed rate increases, the surface roughness increases accordingly. Residual stress decreases and transfers from compressive stress to tensile stress as milling speed gets larger and feed rate decreases. Microhardness variation is not evident below the machined surface. Besides, unlike ex-situ Al matrix composites, pull-out or fractured particles were rarely found on the machined surface of in-situ TiB₂/Al composites.

Statistical analysis of the effects of machining parameters and workpiece hardness on the surface finish of machined medium carbon steel

The objective of this study is to ascertain the effect of machining parameters and workpiece hardness on surface roughness of machined components and to develop a better understanding of the effect of process parameters on the machined surface. Such an understanding can provide insight into the problems of controlling the finish of machined surfaces when the process parameters are adjusted to obtain a certain surface finish. The collected data were analyzed using parametric analyses of variance (ANOVA) with surface finish as the dependent variable and hardness of the workpiece material, cutting tool position from the surface of the clamping device (chuck), depth of cut, cutting velocity, and cutting feed as independent variables. The results showed that surface roughness is significantly affected by the workpiece hardness, cutting feed, cutting speed, depth of cut, cutting tool position from the chuck, and their interactions with each other. The results suggest that feed rate and cutting speed can be adjusted to produce a certain surface finish when the position of the cutting tool from the surface of a clamping device or the hardness of the workpiece is changed.     

On tool wear and its effect on machined surface integrity

This paper presents the results of an investigation of induced residual stress, induced strain, and induced subsurface energy in machined surfaces due to the machining process. The influence of tool wear on residual stress, strain, and energy is also reported. The exact elasticity solution for a split ring was extended and used to calculate the residual stress in the machined surface by using ring dimension changes caused by the electrochemical removal of a thin layer of residually stressed surface. The strain distribution beneath the machined surface was determined by using the grid technique. The subsurface energy stored in the machined surface was then obtained from the data of residual stress and strain. For the materials studied, this investigation showed that such energy could not be neglected when establishing the total energy needed for machining a unit volume of material. Tool coatings having different surface roughness and tools having various magnitudes of flank wear were investigated. The experimental results show that tool wear is a dominant factor affecting the values of induced residual stress, strain, subsurface energy, and the quality of the machined surface. The increase of tool wear caused an increase of residual stress and strain beneath the machined surface. It was also found that the overall energy stored in the machined subsurface increases as the tool wear increases and as the tool surface gets rougher. When the cutting tool is severely worn, the machined surface not only becomes very rough, but also contains many partially fractured laps or cracks. This makes tool wear a key factor in controlling the quality of the machined surface.     

Conservation law of surface roughness in single point diamond turning

In this work, a comprehensive model is established to predict the surface roughness achieved by single point diamond turning. In addition to the calculation of the roughness components in relation to the kinematics and minimum undeformed chip thickness, the newly developed model also takes the effects of plastic side flow and elastic recovery of materials as machined into account. Moreover, the ‘size effect’ has also been successfully integrated into the model, i.e. an inflection point appears in the trend line of predicted surface roughness as the ratio of maximal undeformed chip thickness to cutting edge radius (h_Dmax/r_n) is equal to one unit. Face turning experiments validate that the maximal prediction error is only 13.35%. As the ratio of h_Dmax/r_n is higher than one unit, both the prediction and experiments reveal that a conservation law exists in diamond turned surface roughness, owing to the competitive effects of kinematics, minimum undeformed chip thickness, plastic side flow and elastic recovery of materials on surface formation. Under the conservation law, the freedom control for an invariable surface roughness can be fulfilled in response to a quantitative ratio of h_Dmax/r_n, either through an accurate configuration of feed rate and depth of cut with fixed tool nose radius and cutting edge radius, or by a reasonable selection of tool nose radius and controlled cutting edge radius with designed feed rate and depth of cut.

A study of the surface scallop generating mechanism in the ball-end milling process

This paper presents the model, simulation and experimental verification of the scallop formation on the machined surface in the ball-end milling process. In the milling process, the cutting edges of the cutter are in a motion of combined translation and rotation. The periodical variation of the cutting edge orientation during spindle rotation results in two kinds of scallops generated on the machined surface: the pick-interval scallop and the feed-interval scallop. Because of the low feed and comparably large pick used in the conventional ball-end milling process, the emphasis of previous works has been placed on studying the geometric generating mechanism of the pick-interval scallop while the feed-interval scallop has been largely ignored. Trend of the high-speed and high efficiency machining, however, has pushed the feed reaching the same level of the pick. For the high-speed machining where the high feed/pick ratio is used, the feed-interval scallop must be taken into account. This paper presents a new model that describes the path-interval and feed-interval scallops generating mechanism in the ball-end milling processes. Parameters such as the tool radius, feed/pick ratio, initial cutting edge entrance angle, and tool-axis inclination angles have been studied and experimental verified. It was found that the feed-interval scallop height was 3–4 times large than the path-interval scallop height at the high-speed machining case. The scallop height was continuously reduced by increasing the tool-axis inclination angle. An inclination angle up to 10° is, however, good enough for most tool diameters from the surface roughness viewpoint.

Investigation of surface near residual stress states after micro-cutting by finite element simulation

Surface layer properties, namely residual stresses, surface work hardening and surface roughness, have a great influence on the service life of components. Especially the residual stress state of the surface layer after cutting is of great importance and shows a strong material specific behavior. Therefore the dependence of the residual stresses on the cutting edge radius, which plays a crucial role for micro-cutting, is investigated in chip forming simulations using ABAQUS/Standard. The residual stress states are evaluated for the reference material normalized AISI 1045 and are compared with a model material representing a hardened material state. The process knowledge will be increased by the systematic separation of physical effects leading to material specific residual stress states after cutting. The simulation results are validated by the comparison with experimentally determined residual stress depth profiles, using X-ray diffraction method, showing a good correlation.
