This article attempts an experimental study to determine the effect of cryogenic coolant (liquid nitrogen) on the grindability of AISI D2 tool steel as work material and its results are compared with the conventional dry and wet grinding methods. The effects of the cryogenic coolant on force components (i.e., tangential force, Ft and normal force, Fn ), specific grinding energy (u), force ratio, surface roughness parameters (Ra and Rz ) and microstructure were observed. The comparison results indicate a significant reduction in grindability indices such as 64% and 44% in Ft , 54% and 34% in Fn , 46% and 30% in Ra and 40% and 34% in Rz , respectively under cryogenic grinding at higher downfeed as followed to dry and wet grinding. The grinding performance in Ft , Fn , u and Ra was also improved with an increased delivery pressure of the liquid nitrogen (LN2). From the results, it is concluded that cryogenic coolant offers an influential method to improve grinding performance and surface integrity of AISI D2 tool steel.","PeriodicalId":51109,"journal":{"name":"Machining Science and Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"183 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43784485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, a process data driven failure prediction system is proposed. The wire EDM monitoring system includes high sampling rate differential probes and current probes. The features extracted through pulse train analysis were spark discharge energy, ignition delay time, spark frequency and proportion of various discharges. A pulse discrimination algorithm was proposed, which classifies the discharges into open circuit sparks, arc discharges, short circuit sparks and normal sparks. It was observed that higher proportions of short circuit pulses resulted in inferior part quality. The differences in the pulse cycle during stable and unstable machining were studied based on the extracted features. It was found that the discharge frequency and the proportion of arc and short circuit pulses were extremely high before the wire breakages. An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the process responses, like cutting speed and surface roughness, from the process data. Also, an intelligent algorithm was developed based on the extracted in-process data to predict the unstable conditions, leading to machining failures. The accuracy of the algorithm was confirmed to be very high by conducting confirmation tests.","PeriodicalId":51109,"journal":{"name":"Machining Science and Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"245 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46110530","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the EDM process, copper and its alloys are often used as electrode materials. The machining with EDM without increasing the costs can be achieved by selecting the proper electrode with low production and material costs as well as high workpiece material removal rate (MRR), low electrode wear rate (EWR), and relative wear (RW = MRR/EWR). In this study, the EDM performance outputs, namely, MRR and RW were experimentally investigated for electrolytic copper, CuCr1Zr (with and without aging treatment) and CuCo2Be alloy electrode materials for varying machining parameters. The performance outputs were affected by the electrode material and the applied aging treatment. The aged CuCr1Zr alloy electrodes had higher electrical conductivity and better machining performance than the as-received alloy. The CuCo2Be alloy electrodes exhibited moderate to high MRR; however, their RW was the highest. Although the electrolytic copper has moderate MRR performance compared to the investigated alloys, its low cost increased its performance index, making it a more suitable electrode material for EDM applications.","PeriodicalId":51109,"journal":{"name":"Machining Science and Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"229 - 244"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42654031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grid nanoindentation is applied to measure the micro-hardness distribution. Based on grid nanoindentation results, the micro-hardness distribution is proposed to study the machinability. After the machining test of HCCI by the PCBN insert, the cutting force, tool wear, surface roughness, and chip formation showed that the micro-hardness distribution of materials has the better results than macro-hardness in machinability evaluation, and abrasive wear occurred on the rake and flank face of the cutting tool. The abrasiveness index that is related with the micro-hardness distribution and the abrasive wear effect in machining, for the most of high abrasion materials, has the possible to evaluate the dynamic cutting process and tool life in dry machining by using the PCBN insert.

In order to explore new processing technology and verify its feasibility, this paper discussed the effects of cryogenic assisted milling with liquid nitrogen (LN2) coolant on the machinability of SiCp/Al composites. The effects of cryogenic milling were also compared with that of conventional dry milling. The results showed that cryogenic milling of 20% SiCp/Al composites would increase the surface hardness of the material, causing 15% higher amount of cutting force in cryogenic milling as compared to dry milling. In addition, there were serious tool feed marks on the machined surface under cryogenic condition because of the secondary cutting mechanism, which resulted in high surface roughness and poor surface quality. Overall, 46.73% higher roughness Ra and 31.53% roughness Rz were seen for cryogenic milling in comparison with dry milling technique respectively. The dish angle of milling tool and processing environment plays important roles in machined surface. Chip brittleness increased and short arc chips were formed in cryogenic milling. It was suggested that milling SiCp/Al composites under cryogenic condition had negative effects on the machinability of the material.","PeriodicalId":51109,"journal":{"name":"Machining Science and Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"1 - 17"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49081336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The article proposes a new tool design with an offset between teeth to minimize friction, limit damage and promote chip removal when drilling composite materials. The effects of the tool’s geometric parameters, especially the rake, the inclination and the complementary side cutting edge angles on the material removal process, as well as the cutting and thrust forces, are investigated. A 3D finite element model of a representative multi-tooth tool is developed using the ABAQUSExplicit code. The results show that fine-tuning the geometric parameters of the tool reduces the induced machining damage and enhances the chip removal and the flow evolution. The rake angle has a significant influence on the cutting and thrust forces. However, both forces are insensitive to the inclination angle. The complementary side cutting edge angle influences only the thrust force. The presented outcomes not only give insights into the cutting process, but also improve the SMC machinability.","PeriodicalId":51109,"journal":{"name":"Machining Science and Technology","volume":"26 1","pages":"95 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2021-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43040204","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
