Research on micro-textured tools has evolved from a focus on applications to an emphasis on performance enhancement. Laser processing is the most widely used method for preparing micro-texture; however, processing defects that commonly occur during the preparation process, along with inherent limitations in the process, significantly hinder the broader application of the tool. Therefore, this study focuses on cemented carbide tools and investigates the combination of thermal-assisted processing and laser technology to explore the influence mechanism of thermal-assisted temperature on the surface morphology, element distribution, and mechanical properties of micro-textured cemented carbide. A milling test platform was developed to analyze the evolution of the milling performance of micro-textured tools under the thermal-assisted process. The optimization of thermal-assisted process parameters was achieved using the AHP-rank sum ratio comprehensive evaluation method. The results indicate that the thermal-assisted process effectively reduces residual stress and the temperature gradient during laser processing. It also helps to control the uneven material distribution caused by the Marangoni convection effect, preventing crack nucleation and reducing the formation of cracks. Additionally, the process improves the elastic modulus and microhardness of the surface, enhances the structural stability of the micro-texture, and strengthens the bonding with the coating. Furthermore, it improves the wear resistance and friction-reducing performance of the tool surface, while also reducing milling forces, noise, tool wear, and surface roughness of the workpiece. Using the AHP rank-sum ratio method for a comprehensive evaluation, it was found that the overall milling performance of the tool is optimal at a thermal-assisted temperature of 673.15 K. This study offers new insights for addressing the preparation process defects of high-performance tools and enhancing their cutting performance. Most of the research on thermal-assisted laser material processing technology only stays in the surface observation stage.

Traditional detection methods, whether direct or indirect, face several limitations and challenges. Different cutting parameters and signal noise often affect indirect methods, which can compromise reliability. Direct approaches for TCM frequently require physically measuring tool wear by visually monitoring it after cutting a sufficient distance on the workpiece. This requires the process to be interrupted for tool condition evaluation, therefore negatively impacting production efficiency. This study proposes a novel dual-check approach that combines sensor-based and vision-based techniques to enhance tool condition monitoring. First, the indirect method utilizes scalogram images derived from acoustic emission signals, analyzed using transfer learning models, including pre-trained networks such as GoogLeNet, SqueezeNet, VGG19, ShuffleNet, and ResNet50. Despite achieving up to 70 % accuracy under certain conditions, sensor signal noise reduced identification accuracy to below 50 %. A direct vision-based method is introduced to address these limitations, using projected rotating tool images to capture individual cutting teeth for a more accurate assessment of tool conditions. This integrated approach improves tool condition identification by combining the strengths of both methods, enhancing overall accuracy and reliability.

In this paper, a step drill was designed and the effects of tool geometry and machining parameters during ultrasonically assisted drilling (UAD) of SiCp/Al composites were investigated. The tool geometry parameters include diameter ratio (0.6, 0.8, and 1), length of the first step drill (0 mm, 3 mm, and 6 mm), and point angle. As well as machining parameters such as spindle speed, feed rate and ultrasonic power supply voltage (which determines the amplitude of ultrasonic vibration).

The results show that the diameter ratio and length of the first step drill are the primary factors influencing drilling force and temperature. The machining parameters have a limited effect on the drilling force but a larger effect on the drilling temperature.
