The workpieces used in this investigation were manufactured in a single batch from aerospace- Abstract grade, out-of-autoclave, quasi-isotropic, thermoset prepreg materials. Initially, a number of conventional tests were performed to assess the performance of isolated cutting fluid chemicals. The fluid-to-fluid variance was shown to be less significant in these tests when compared against In today’s business environment, the trend towards more product variety and customization is unbroken. Due to this development, the need of dry conditions. A 6 percent basic micro-emulsion concentrate produced the best results with dry setup produced lower torque results than any agile and reconfigurable production systems emerged to cope with various products and product families. To design and optimize production cutting fluid tested. Production-style drilling trials were undertaken to investigate the tool life under varying fluid conditions from basic to systems as well as to choose the optimal product matches, product analysis methods are needed. Indeed, most of the known methods aim to commercially available. These trials indicated that dry, tip-extracted conditions enabled an extended tool life prior to coating failure against the analyze a product or one product family on the physical level. Different product families, however, may differ largely in terms of the number and best cutting fluid with identical parameters, machine tool, cutting tool and workpiece material manufacture conditions. The hypothesis for this nature of components. This fact impedes an efficient comparison and choice of appropriate product family combinations for the production reduction in tool performance under general wet conditions is that heat introduced by the drilling process changes the CFRP polymer’s visco- system. A new methodology is proposed to analyze existing products in view of their functional and physical architecture.

Hung3 1Federal University of Uberlandia, Uberlandia, Brazil. 2Kansas State University, Salinas, Kansas, USA 3Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This paper studies the micromilling of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy. The main objective of this work is to study the performance of micromill tools in terms of burrs, machined surface and tool wear in machining of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy and evaluate the effect of the application of cutting fluid. Experimental micromilling tests with 152.4 Pm diameter WC tools were made. The tests were carried out on a four axis CNC milling machine with maximum spindle speed of 60,000 rpm and a resolution of 0.1 Pm. To measure the burr height, a profilometer with 1.0 mm measuring range and 16 nm resolution was used. The samples and tools were observed under scanning electron microscope to evaluate the machined surface quality, to measure wear and to analyse wear mechanisms. The results show that the application of cutting fluid has a large effect on the quality of the machined parts, both in terms of burrs formed and in terms of machined surface quality. Depending on the cutting conditions, the relative size of the burrs formed is much higher than in macromachining operations.

GOODLET, B.ENG.MGT A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree Master of Applied Science McMaster University © Copyright by Alexander W. Goodlet, October 2013 MASTER OF APPLIED SCIENCE (2013) McMaster University (Department of Mechanical Engineering) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Acoustic Emission Monitoring of Electrical Discharge Machining AUTHOR: Alexander W. Goodlet, B.Eng.Mgt (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Philip Koshy NUMBER OF PAGES: 116 ii Abstract Electrical discharge machining (EDM) is a non-conventional machining process in which material removal is accomplished through spark erosion between a workpiece and tool electrode. Process stability is of great importance to the productivity of the EDM process, especially in the wire EDM configuration where an unstable process could lead to wire breakage having a detrimental effect on productivity. This thesis investigates the application of acoustic emission (AE) in EDM as a process monitoring technique. AE techniques have been applied to almost all machining processes; however its benefit as applied to EDM has not been investigated yet. The AE signal from the EDM process is related to various EDM parameters including, electrical parameters, tool materials, flushing and some process modifications, such as dispersing metallic powder into the gap. Using this knowledge, the benefits of using an AE sensor for a real-time process monitoring technique have been proven. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Philip Koshy. With his innovative ideas and constant strive to pursue exciting new research areas, it made working with him a rewarding experience.

  • Troubleshooting Coolant Systems
    TROUBLESHOOTING COOLANT SYSTEMS The problems most commonly attributed to aqueous cutting fluids are: Corrosion Nonferrous corrosion Rancidity or objectionable odors Objectionable residues Dirt accumulation Excessive foam Skin irritation Eye, nose, or throat irritation Unsatisfactory surface finish on parts Unsatisfactory cutting tool or grinding wheel life Problems with aqueous cutting fluids (‘coolants’) generally occur for one or more of the following reasons: Improper fluid selection for the metal type, machining operation, filter media, or water quality Lack of fluid maintenance or poor overall maintenance. Incorrect machine setup or operation. Excessive contamination from external sources. Improper fluid selection does occur; but usually, problems stem from tooling, poor maintenance, or excessive fluid contamination. Cutting fluids can seldom overcome incorrect tooling (materials, sharpening, feeds, speeds, or inadequate grinding wheel grades). Solving problems in a central system is more complex than solving problems in individual machines. It is not only necessary to locate the basic cause of the problem and take measures to correct it, but also to rejuvenate the central system cutting fluid, if possible, so that it will perform satisfactorily.

  • Cutting Fluids (Coolants)
    CUTTING FLUIDS (COOLANTS) Cutting fluid (metalworking fluid, coolant) is a liquid used in metalworking operations for reducing friction between the work piece and the tool and for removal of the heat generated by the friction. Metalworking operations . Benefits of metalworking fluids (coolants) . Factors of metalworking . Types of metalworking fluids (coolants) . Properties of some cutting fluids Metalworking operations Cutting (metalworking) fluids are involved in the following metalworking operations: . Cutting (separation of metal from a work piece in the form of chips) . Milling . Turning . Boring . Drilling . Broaching . Threading . Sawing . Abrading (rubbing away the surface by friction) . Grinding . Polishing . Lapping . Metal forming (changing the shape of a work piece by a pressure) . Rolling . Forging . Extrusion . Drawing . Deep drawing . Stamping Benefits of metalworking fluids (coolants) Lubrication and cooling effects provided by cutting fluids (coolants) result in the following benefits of metalworking: . Better surface finish. Cutting (metalworking) fluids lubricate the workpiece-tool metal-to-metal contact zone preventing tool galling and seizure, which assures good surface finish. Additives in lubricating oils#Extreme pressure additives|EP (extreme pressure) and other additives (sulfur, chlorine, phosphorous) enhance the lubricating effect of the fluids. Longer tool life. Temperature of a tool properly cooled by a cutting fluid (coolant) does not exceed the critical value, beyond which the tool hardness drops and its wear rate increases. Narrower tolerances of the work piece size. Cutting fluids provide both: decreasing the amount of heat generated in the workpiece-tool contact zone due to reduction of the friction (lubricating effect) and removing the heat (cooling effect). Thus cutting fluid stabilizes the work piece temperature providing better control of its geometry.

  • Use of Castor Oil As Cutting Fluid in Machining of Hardened Stainless Steel with Minimum Quantity of Lubricant
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia CIRP 26 ( 2015 ) 408 – 411 12th Global Conference on Sustainable Manufacturing Use of Castor Oil as Cutting Fluid in Machining of Hardened Stainless Steel with Minimum Quantity of Lubricant Mohamed Handawi Saad Elmunafi, D. Kurniawan, M.Y. Noordin* a,b,c Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, UTM Skudai, Johor 81300, Malaysia * Corresponding author. E-mail address: [email protected] Abstract Use of cutting fluids in machining processes can reduce the cutting temperature and provides lubrication to tool and workpiece. These translate to longer tool life and improved surface quality. Due to the issues of using fluids in machining related to environment, health, and manufacturing cost that need to be solved, options to reduce their use. A technique called minimal quantity lubrication (MQL), which sprays small amount of cutting fluid (in the range of approximately 10 – 100 ml/h) to the cutting zone area with the aid of compressed air, was developed to merge the advantages of both dry cutting and flood cooling. For the type of cutting fluids, vegetable oils are common cutting fluids used in MQL because of its superior lubrication and high-pressure performance. This study evaluates the performance of MQL using castor oil as cutting fluid. The workpiece is hardened stainless steel 48 HRC. Results are compared with dry cutting. It was found that using small amount of lubricant of 50 ml/h during the particular turning process produces better results compared to dry cutting, in terms of longer tool life. Surface roughness and cutting forces were also enhanced albeit slightly.

  • High Speed Turning of Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) Alloy
    High Speed Turning of Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) Alloy Anil Srivastava, Ph.D. Manager, Manufacturing Technology TechSolve, Inc., Cincinnati, OH 45237 Outline • Applications of Titanium Alloys • Technical Difficulties in Machining Titanium Alloys • High Speed Turning of Ti-6Al-4V Alloy • Some Recent Test Results • Conclusions 2 Application of Titanium Alloys • Titanium and its alloys are today used in: – Aerospace – Medical device – Food and chemical industries • Titanium alloys offers: – High strength-to-weight ratio – Super corrosion resistance – Bio-compatibility • Titanium alloys are difficult-to-machine due to: – Low thermal conductivity and diffusivity – High rigidity and low elasticity modulus – High chemical reactivity at elevated temperatures – Work hardening characteristics 3 Machining Titanium for Economical Production BASIC RULES • Use low cutting speeds – a change from 6 to 46 meters per min (20 to 150 sfpm) with carbide tools results in a temperature change from 427°C to 927°C (800°F to 1700°F). • Use high feed rates – a change from 0.05 to 0.51 mm/rev (0.002 to 0.020 in/rev) results in a temperature increase of only 149°C (300°F). • Use generous amounts of cutting fluid – coolant carries away heat, washes away chips, and reduces cutting forces. • Use sharp tools – replace them at the first sign of wear, or as determined by production/cost considerations. Complete tool failure occurs rather quickly after small initial amount of wear takes place. • Never stop feeding – while a tool and a workpiece are in moving contact. Permitting a tool to dwell in moving contact causes work hardening and promotes smearing, galling, seizing, and total tool breakdown.
