The effect of tool nose radius in ultrasonic vibration cutting of hard metal

A tool edge with a small nose radius can alleviate the regenerative chatter. In general, it is important for conventional cutting to use the smallest possible tool nose radius. However, a sharp tool shape has an adverse effect on tool strength and the instability of machining process still occurs. Previous researches have shown that vibration cutting has a higher cutting stability as compared with conventional cutting. In the present paper, the influence of tool nose radius on cutting characteristics including chatter vibration, cutting force and surface roughness is investigated by theory. It is found from the theoretical investigation that a steady vibration created by motion between the tool and the workpiece is still obtained even using a large nose radius in vibration cutting. This article presents a vibration cutting method using a large nose radius in order to solve chatter vibration and tool strength problem in hard-cutting. With a suitable nose radius size, experimental results show that a stable and a precise surface finish is achieved.

Statistical analysis of surface roughness and cutting forces using response surface methodology in hard turning of AISI 52100 bearing steel with CBN tool

The present work concerns an experimental study of hard turning with CBN tool of AISI 52100 bearing steel, hardened at 64 HRC. The main objectives are firstly focused on delimiting the hard turning domain and investigating tool wear and forces behaviour evolution versus variations of workpiece hardness and cutting speed. Secondly, the relationship between cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) and machining output variables (surface roughness, cutting forces) through the response surface methodology (RSM) are analysed and modeled. The combined effects of the cutting parameters on machining output variables are investigated while employing the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The quadratic model of RSM associated with response optimization technique and composite desirability was used to find optimum values of machining parameters with respect to objectives (surface roughness and cutting force values). Results show how much surface roughness is mainly influenced by feed rate and cutting speed. Also, it is underlined that the thrust force is the highest of cutting force components, and it is highly sensitive to workpiece hardness, negative rake angle and tool wear evolution. Finally, the depth of cut exhibits maximum influence on cutting forces as compared to the feed rate and cutting speed.

Mechanisms involved in the improvement of Inconel 718 machinability by laser assisted machining (LAM)

The aim of the present research work has been to gain a broader understanding of how or why laser assisted machining (LAM) improves machinability of Inconel 718, a hard-to-machine material of interest in the aeronautic industry. This has been accomplished by, first, running short run tests to determine the laser parameters and configuration for which highest force reductions are obtained and also to determine the effect of cutting parameters (feed, cutting speed and depth of cut) on force reduction. Secondly, long run tests have been performed in order to analyze process variables such as cutting forces, tool wear and surface roughness. Temperatures and hardness have been also measured in order to gain a broader perspective of the process.Experimental results have demonstrated that LAM improves machinability of Inconel 718 since machining forces and final surface roughness are reduced. The novelty reached with the present research work is the identification of three mechanisms associated to the laser heating as the responsible of this machinability improvement: material yield strength reduction, material base hardness reduction (only in precipitation hardened Inconel 718) and elimination of the work hardening generated in previous machining passes. The reduction of the work hardening leads also to a lower notch wear that limits the risk of sudden failure of the cutting tool and thus the wear mode is changed to flank wear, which leads to a controllable tool life and better surface roughness.

An investigation of laser-assisted machining of Al2O3 ceramics planing

Laser-assisted machining (LAM), an alternative method of fabricating difficult-to-machine materials, uses primarily laser power to heat the local area (without necessarily evaporating or melting any material) before the material is removed. It not only efficiently reduces the cutting force during the manufacturing process but also improves the machining characteristics and geography with regard to difficult-to-machine materials, especially structural ceramics.This study on the application of laser-assisted machining to Al₂O₃ ceramics examines the measurements of cutting force and workpiece surface temperature as well as surface integrity and tool wear. Specifically, it uses the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) to calculate the temperature distribution inside the ceramic workpiece during the LAM process and ensure that the laser energy causes no subsurface damage. The experimental results reveal that the LAM process efficiently reduces the cutting force by 22% (feed force) and 20% (thrust force) and produces better workpiece surface quality than conventional planing.

A study on the effect of tool nose radius in ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting of tungsten carbide

Nowadays, ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting (UEVC) technique is being successfully applied for ultraprecision machining of difficult-to-cut materials. Previous study reported that the tool geometry especially tool nose radius notably influences the performance of 1D ultrasonic vibration cutting (UVC). However, the effect of tool nose radius in the UEVC technique is yet to be studied. This study aims to investigate the effects of tool nose radius on the UEVC performance in terms of cutting force, tool wear and surface finish when machining a hard-to-cut material, sintered tungsten carbide (WC), using PCD tools. The experimental results show that the UEVC technique performs remarkably better in all aspects at a 0.6 mm nose radius compared to a lower (e.g. 0.2 or 0.4 mm) and a higher nose radius (e.g. 0.8 mm). When machining about 412 mm² surface area, an average surface roughness, R_a of 0.010 μm is achieved with a 0.6 mm nose radius. Analyses are conducted to justify the findings in this study.

Statistical investigation of modal parameters of cutting tools in dry turning

It is very important that optimized cutting parameters be selected in controlling the quality required for surface finishes. Unfortunately, surface roughness does not depend solely on the feed rate, the tool nose radius and cutting speed; the surface can also be deteriorated by excessive tool vibrations, the built-up edge, the friction of the cut surface against the tool point, and the embedding of the particles of the materials being machined. Hence, the forces, which can be considered as the sum of steady, harmonic and random forces, act on the cutting tool and contribute to the modification of the dynamic response of the tool, by affecting its stiffness and damping. These stiffness and damping variations are attributable to parameters that cannot be easily predicted in practice (regenerative process, penetration rate, friction, variation in rake angle, cutting speed, etc.). Furthermore, the effects of cutting parameters, which also contribute to the variation in the tool’s modal parameters, are more useful for controlling tool vibration. This study focuses on the collection and analysis of cutting-force, tool-vibration and tool-modal-parameter data generated by lathe dry turning of mild carbon steel samples at different speeds, feeds, depths of cut, tool nose radii, tool lengths and workpiece lengths. A full factorial experimental design (288 experiments) that takes into consideration the two-level interactions between the independent variables has been performed. This analysis investigated the effect of each cutting parameter on tool stiffness and damping, and yielded an empirical model for predicting the behavior of the tool stiffness variation.
