Abstract High speed cutting (HSC) technology has the characteristics of high material removal rates and high machining precision. In order to study the relationships between chip morphology and machining surface characteristic in high speed cutting of superalloy Inconel718. High-speed orthogonal cutting experiment are carried out by used a high speed cutting device based on split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB). The specimen surfaces and collected chips were then detected with optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and three-dimensional surface profile measuring instrument. The results show that within the experimental parameters (cutting speed from 8–16m/s, depth of cut 0.1–0.5mm), the obtained chips are sawtooth chips and periodic micro-ripple appear on the machined surface. With the cutting speed increases, machining surface roughness is decreases from 1.4 to 0.99μm, and the amplitude of periodic ripples also decreases. With the cutting depth increases, the machining surface roughness increases from 0.96 to 5.12μm and surface topography becomes worse. With the increase of cutting speed and depth of cut, the chips are transform from continues sawtooth to sawtooth fragment. By comparing the frequency of surface ripples and sawtooth chips, it is found that they are highly consistent.

High-speed cutting technology has the characteristics of high material removal rate and excellent processing quality. To investigate the surface quality of high-speed cutting Ti6Al4V alloy, the orthogonal cutting experiment is the cutting device based on improved Split-Hopkinson pressure bar carried out with a cutting speed of about 7–16 m/s. Surface roughness, residual stress and three-dimensional surface topography are examined to characterize the surface quality. And the chip geometry parameters are measured to analyze the formation mechanism of surface topography. The result shows that cutting force and surface roughness increase rapidly with the increase in depth of cut. In the meantime, the periodic microwaves appeared on the machined surface, and their amplitudes increase with the increase in depth of cut. However, surface roughness, residual stress and microwave amplitude all decrease with the increase in cutting speed. Moreover, it is found that the evolution trend of chip thickness and surface roughness with cutting parameters is very similar. Therefore, it can be inferred that there is a strong relationship between surface topography and chip morphology.

This study investigates the contributions of high-speed cutting and a high rake angle to the improvement of the cutting performance of natural rubber. Orthogonal cutting experiments were conducted at cutting speeds ranging from 1.0 m/s to 141.1 m/s. The rake angles examined were 0°, 20° and 50°. The following results were obtained from the experiments. The cutting ratio is almost 1.0 regardless of the cutting speed and rake angle. The cutting force rises rapidly as the cutting speed increases. High-speed cutting or a high rake angle eliminates tear defects on the machined surface and reduces chipping defects at the entry edge of the workpiece. An uncut portion, however, always remains at the exit edge. The cross-sectional shape of the machined surface becomes concave. Besides, the machined surface comes into broad contact with the clearance face. These degradations in the shape accuracy arise from the large elastic distortion that occurs in the shear zone. Increasing the cutting speed improves the flatness of the machined surface. Although an analysis of the cutting mechanism reveals that the apparent stiffness of the material in the shear zone is enhanced with increasing the cutting speed, a very high cutting speed worsens the shape accuracy because of the development of shock waves. Depending on the rake angle, there is a critical cutting speed that should not be exceeded to maximize the cutting performance of natural rubber.

The machining of the electron beam melting (EBM) produced parts is a challenging task because, upon machining, different part orientations (EBM layers’ orientations) produce different surface quality even when the same machining parameters are employed. In this paper, the EBM fabricated parts are machined in three possible orientations with regard to the tool feed direction, where the three orientations are “tool movement in a layer plane” (TILP), “tool movement perpendicular to layer planes” (TLP), and “tool movement parallel to layers planes” (TPLP). The influence of the feed rate, radial depth of cut, and cutting speed is studied on surface roughness, cutting force, micro-hardness, microstructure, chip morphology, and surface morphology of Ti6Al4V, while considering the EBM part orientations. It was found that different orientations have different effects on the machined surface during milling. The results show that the EBM parts can achieve good surface quality and surface integrity when milled along the TLP orientation. For instance, surface roughness (Sa) can be improved up to 29% when the milling tool is fed along the TLP orientation compared to the other orientations (TILP and TPLP). Furthermore, surface morphology significantly improves with lower micro-pits, redeposited chips, and feed marks in case of the TLP orientation.

Firstly, a single factor test of the surface roughness about tuning 300 M steel is done. According to the test results, it is direct to find the sequence of various factors affecting the surface roughness. Secondly, the orthogonal cutting experiment is carried out from which the primary and secondary influence factors affecting surface roughness are obtained: feed rate and corner radius are the main factors affecting surface roughness. The more the feed rate, the greater the surface roughness. In a certain cutting speed rang, the surface roughness is smaller. The influence of depth of cut to the surface roughness is small. Thirdly, according to the results of the orthogonal experiment, the prediction model of surface roughness is established by using regressing analysis method. Using MatLab software, the prediction mode is optimized and the significance test of the optimized model is done. It showed that the prediction model matched the experiment results. Finally, the surface residual stress test of turning 300 M steel is done and the residual stress of the surface and along the depth direction is measured.

The orthogonal cutting tests of oxygen free copper with a cutting speed of from 1 m/s to 210 m/s were performed. The effect of the high-speed cutting on the improvement over the quality of the machined surface, which was evaluated by the thickness of the plastic flow layer and the surface roughness, was examined. By employing the simple shear plane model, the cutting mechanism was analyzed. The results were compared with the results for cutting of aluminum alloy obtained previously. For oxygen free copper, the resultant cutting force does not increase in high-speed cutting. However, the friction angle on the tool-chip interface rises clearly in high-speed cutting. This paper discusses the reason for the increase in the friction angle at the tool-chip interface by investigating the stress and temperature fields on the shear plane and the tool-chip interface.

Hard milling of hardened steel has wide application in mould and die industries. However, milling induced surface finish has received little attention. An experimental investigation is conducted to comprehensively characterize the surface roughness of AISI D2 hardened steel (58-62 HRC) in end milling operation using TiAlN/AlCrN multilayer coated carbide. Surface roughness (Ra) was examined at different cutting speed (v) and radial depth of cut (dr) while the measurement was taken in feed speed, Vf and cutting speed, Vc directions. The experimental results show that the milled surface is anisotropic in nature. Surface roughness values in feed speed direction do not appear to correspond to any definite pattern in relation to cutting speed, while it increases with radial depth-of-cut within the range 0.13-0.24 µm. In cutting speed direction, surface roughness value decreases in the high speed range, while it increases in the high radial depth of cut. Radial depth of cut is the most influencing parameter in surface roughness followed by cutting speed.

Magnesium alloy is a material with a high strength to weight ratio and is suitable for various applications such as in automotive, aerospace, electronics, industrial, biomedical and sports. Most end products require a mirror-like finish, therefore, this paper will present how a mirror-like finishing can be achieved using a high speed face milling that is equivalent to the manual polishing process. The high speed cutting regime for magnesium alloy was studied at the range of 900-1400 m/min, and the feed rate for finishing at 0.03-0.09 mm/tooth. The surface roughness found for this range of cutting parameters were between 0.061-0.133 µm, which is less than the 0.5µm that can be obtained by manual polishing. Furthermore, from the S/N ratio plots, the optimum cutting condition for the surface roughness can be achieved at a cutting speed of 1100 m/min, feed rate 0.03 mm/tooth, axial depth of cut of 0.20 mm and radial depth of cut of 10 mm. From the experimental result the lowest surface roughness of 0.061µm was obtained at 900 m/min with the same conditions for other cutting parameters. This study revealed that by milling AZ91D at a high speed cutting, it is possible to eliminate the polishing process to achieve a mirror-like finishing.

High-speed metal cutting processes can cause extremely rapid heating of the work material. Temperature on the machined surface is critical for surface integrity and the performance of a precision component. However, the temperature of a machined surface is challenging for in-situ measurement.So, the finite element(FE) method used to analyze the unique nonlinear problems during cutting process. In terms of heat-force coupled problem, the thermo-plastic FE model was proposed to predict the cutting temperature distribution using separated iterative method. Several key techniques such as material constitutive relations, tool-chip interface friction and separation and damage fracture criterion were modeled. Based on the updated Lagrange and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method, the temperature field in high speed orthogonal cutting of carbon steel AISI-1045 were simulated. The simulated results showed good agreement with the experimental results, which validated the precision of the process simulation method. Meanwhile, the influence of the process variables such as cutting speed, cutting depth, etc. on the temperature distribution was investigated.

This work performed molecular dynamic simulations to study the 2D profile and 3D surface topography in the nanometric cutting process. The least square mean method was used to model the evaluation criteria for the surface roughness at the nanometric scale. The result showed that the cutting speed was the most important factor influencing the spacing between the peaks, the sharpness of the peaks, and the randomness of the profile. The plastic deformation degree of the machined surface at the nanometric scale was significantly influenced by the cutting speed and depth of cut. The 2D and 3D surface roughness parameters exhibited a similar variation tendency, and the parameters Ra and Rq tended to increase gradually with an increase in the cutting speed and a decrease in the depth of cut. Finally, it is concluded that at the nanometric scale, the 3D surface roughness parameters could more accurately reflect the real surface characteristics than the 2D parameters.
