Abstract

The findings of an experimental study conducted on carbide face milling cutters wherein the effect of the interaction between the tool wear and the vibrations that occur during the process was investigated are reported. The effect of the machine tool-cutting tool-workpiece (MCW) system stiffness on tool wear was also investigated.

It is demonstrated that the vibration behaviour of the MCW system is characterized by a number of frequencies, each of which corresponds to a particular element or unit of the MCW system. It is shown that the increase in tool wear rate due to the presence of vibration is mainly governed by the stiffness of the MCW system elements which are responsible for the high frequency components of the vibration spectrum. The increase in vibration frequency was, in general, observed to lead to higher tool wear rates, provided that the vibration amplitudes are in excess of a certain critical value. From the point of view of tool wear, the vibrations of the cutter blade were found to be the most crucial, as they are characterized by high frequency as well as sufficiently large amplitudes.

Fault Diagnosis of Face Milling Tool using Decision Tree and Sound Signal
2018, Materials Today: Proceedings
The monitoring of machining process can improve the quality of product and economy of production. The monitoring system helps to recognize and monitor the surface roughness, dimensional tolerance and tool condition. In this way, the condition monitoring system provides precise dimensional products, high productivity and enhanced machine tool life. This paper presents the classification of healthy and faulty conditions of the face milling tool using Decision tree (J48 algorithm) technique through machine learning approach. The sound signals of the face milling tool under healthy and faulty conditions are acquired. A set of discrete wavelet features are extracted from the sound signals using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) method. Decision tree technique is used to select prominent features out of all extracted features. The selected features are fed to the same algorithm for classification. Output of the algorithm is used to study and categorize the tool conditions. The decision tree model has provided a good classification accuracy of about 81% for the given sound signals and can be considered for fault diagnosis/condition monitoring. From the experimental results, it is suggested that the proposed method which comprises of decision tree and DWT techniques with sound signals can be recommended for the applications of fault diagnosis of the face milling tool.
Selection and testing of metalworking fluids
2012, Metalworking Fluids (MWFs) for Cutting and Grinding: Fundamentals and Recent Advances
This chapter will discuss the major issues and considerations critical for the proper selection of a metalworking fluid for a machining operation. While many factors associated with a given operation – such as fluid sump size and design, tool material and tool geometry, machining conditions and so on–are all important and influence fluid selection, this chapter will focus on one of the most critical variables influencing fluid selection: the alloy or metal being machined. The chapter will start by briefly reviewing the different metalworking fluid types and their relative strengths and weaknesses. Then it will proceed to cover fluid selection and testing relevant to the primary metals and metal alloys commonly machined in industry.
Identification of common sensory features for the control of CNC milling operations under varying cutting conditions
2003, International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture
The main focus of this study is to identify the most influential and common sensory features for the process quality characteristics in CNC milling operations—dimensional accuracy (bore size tolerance) and surface roughness—using three different material types (6061-T6 aluminum, 7075-T6 aluminum, and ANSI-4140 steel). The materials were machined on a vertical CNC mill, retrofitted with multiple sensors and data acquisition systems, to investigate the effects of variations in material types and machining parameters. The sensor data include cutting force measurements, spindle quill vibration, and acoustic emission, each of which further divided into measurable components, such as x, y, and z components in cutting force, x and y spindle quill vibration, DC, AC, and Count Rate for acoustic emission signals. Those components were filtered and analyzed to determine the sensory features that best correlate with process quality characteristics. Tool wear rate and machining characteristics appeared differently, depending on the material types, yet some components of the sensory data were found to be significant with relation to the variations in bore size and surface roughness for all three types of materials. This suggests that even under the varying cutting conditions involving different materials, the identified sensory features can be used for the reliable and accurate control of milling operations.
