Titanium carbide nano-fiber was synthesized by self-propagating high temperature synthesis (SHS) method. The final products
after the SHS reaction were titanium carbide containing excess carbon and metallic titanium, which were removed by additional
leaching process. TEM observation revealed that the average diameter is about 20 nm. Neutron diffraction analysis was carried
out to study non-stoichiometric number of the titanium carbide. The non-stoichiometric numbers of the titanium carbide were
0.89–0.94. The Rietveld refinement of each patterns converged to good agreement (÷2=0.49–1.34). The formation mechanism of
the carbide is related to a liquid-solid reaction including the preferential diffusion process of carbon atom into liquid
titanium.

The useful life of a cutting tool and its operating conditions largely control the economics of the machining operations. Hence, it is imperative that the condition of the cutting tool, particularly some indication as to when it requires changing, to be monitored. The drilling operation is frequently used as a preliminary step for many operations like boring, reaming and tapping, however, the operation itself is complex and demanding.
Back propagation neural networks were used for detection of drill wear. The neural network consisted of three layers input, hidden and output. Drill size, feed, spindle speed, torque, machining time and thrust force are given as inputs to the ANN and the flank wear was estimated. Drilling experiments with 8 mm drill size were performed by changing the cutting speed and feed at two different levels. The number of neurons in the hidden layer were selected from 1, 2, 3, …, 20. The learning rate was selected as 0.01 and no smoothing factor was used. The estimated values of tool wear were obtained by statistical analysis and by various neural network structures. Comparative analysis has been done between statistical analysis, neural network structures and the actual values of tool wear obtained by experimentation. 相似文献
