Abstract The desire for quality infrared lens with better surface finish has brought about the usage of brittle materials like germanium to be machined via a single point diamond turning machining process. However, achieving the required surface finish is complex if special machining techniques and approaches are not employed. In this paper, the effect of two different tool nose radius parameters on surface roughness of single point diamond turned germanium workpiece were studied and analyzed. The machining parameters selected for this experiment were feed, speed and depth of cut. Box-Behnken design was adopted to optimally create a combination of cutting parameters. Measurement of surface roughness after each run in both experiments was achieved using a Taylor Hobson PGI Dimension XL surface Profilometer. The resulting outcomes show that at most experimental runs, the surface roughness value decreased with an increase in nose radius. Mean absolute error was also used to compare the accuracy validation of the two models.

Single-point diamond turning (SPDT) is an emerging process for achieving nanometric surface finish, required in various optical devices made from metals like aluminum, copper, and nonmetals like polymers. The optical devices are manufactured in different shapes and profiles, preferably flat and curved surfaces. During the manufacturing of optical devices, controllable and noncontrollable parameters affect the desired surface finish. In this article, controllable machining parameters such as the incremental distance of X slide, feed rate, spindle speed, and depth of cut are selected to study their effect on surface finish and vibration generation of the curved surface. The chosen workpiece material is polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). Design of experiment (DoE) is used to find out the optimum parameters of surface finish and infeed vibration responses. According to the Taguchi and analysis of Variance (ANOVA) analysis, the feed rate is the most influencing parameter for surface roughness, and incremental distance is for infeed vibration. A confirmation test is carried out to verify the experimental responses with a mathematical regression model, and it shows a close difference within 2.7 percent. Further, minimum surface roughness is perceived as 12.4 nm, corresponding to an infeed vibration amplitude of 4.9 µm/s2, which is signified at a lower frequency.

AbstractNowadays lot of scientific work inspired by industry companies was done with the aim to avoid the use of cutting fluids in machining operations. The reasons were ecological and human health problems caused by the cutting fluid. The most logical solution, which can be taken to eliminate all of the problems associated with the use of cooling lubricant, is dry machining. In most cases, however, a machining operation without lubricant finds acceptance only when it is possible to guarantee that the part quality and machining times achieved in wet machining are equalled or surpassed. Surface finish has become an important indicator of quality and precision in manufacturing processes and it is considered as one of the most important parameter in industry. Today the quality of surface finish is a significant requirement for many workpieces. Thus, the choice of optimized cutting parameters is very important for controlling the required surface quality. In the present study, the influence of different machining parameters on surface roughness has been analysed. Experiments were conducted for turning, as it is the most frequently used machining process in machine industry. All these parameters have been studied in terms of depth of cut (ap), feed rate (f) and cutting speed (vc). As workpiece, material steel S235 has been selected. This work presents results of research done during turning realised on conventional lathe CDS 6250 BX-1000 with severe parameters. These demonstrate the necessity of further, more detailed research on turning process results.

Reaction-bonded silicon carbide (RB-SiC) is a recently developed ceramic material with many merits such as low manufacturing temperature, dense structure, high purity and low cost. In the present paper, the precision machinability of RB-SiC was studied by microindentation and single-point diamond turning (SPDT) tests. The influence of depth of cut and tool feed rate on surface roughness and cutting force was investigated. Results showed that there was no clear ductile-brittle transition in machining behavior. The material removal mechanism involves falling of the SiC grains and intergranular microfractures of the bonding silicon, which prevents from large-scale cleavage fractures. The minimum surface roughness depends on the initial material microstructure in terms of sizes of the SiC grains and micro pores. This work preliminarily indicates that SPDT can be used as a high-efficiency machining process for RB-SiC.

 Due to the widespread use of highly automated machine tools in the metal cutting industry, manufacturing requires highly reliable models and methods for the prediction of output performance in the machining process. The prediction of optimal manufacturing conditions for good surface finish and dimensional accuracy plays a very important role in process planning. In the steel turning process the tool geometry and cutting conditions determine the time and cost of production which ultimately affect the quality of the final product. In the present work, experimental investigations have been conducted to determine the effect of the tool geometry (effective tool nose radius) and metal cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) on surface finish during the turning of EN-31 steel. First and second order mathematical models are developed in terms of machining parameters by using the response surface methodology on the basis of the experimental results. The surface roughness prediction model has been optimized to obtain the surface roughness values by using LINGO solver programs. LINGO is a mathematical modeling language which is used in linear and nonlinear optimization to formulate large problems concisely, solve them, and analyze the solution in engineering sciences, operation research etc. The LINGO solver program is global optimization software. It gives minimum values of surface roughness and their respective optimal conditions.

Surface roughness plays a crucial role in the functional capacity of machined parts. In this work, experiments were carried out on a conventional lathe for different cutting parameters namely feed, spindle speed, depth of cut and tool nose radius according to Taguchi Design of Experiments. Radial acceleration readings were taken with an accelerometer. Optimum cutting parameters and their level of significance were found using Taguchi analysis (ANOVA). Regression analysis was carried out to identify whether the experimental roughness values have fitness characteristic with the process parameters. Recurrence Plots (RP) were obtained using the sensor signals which determine surface roughness qualitatively and Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) technique was used to quantify the RP obtained. Surface finish was predicted using a feed forward back propagation neural network with RQA parameters, cutting parameters and acceleration data as inputs to the network. The validity and reliability of the methods were verified experimentally.

The effects of different cutting parameters, insert nose radius, cutting speed and feed rates on the surface quality of the stainless steel to be use in medical application. Stainless steel AISI 316 had been machined with three different nose radiuses (0.4 mm 0.8 mm, and 1.2mm), three different cutting speeds (100, 130, 170 m/min) and feed rates (0.1, 0.125, 0.16 mm/rev) while depth of cut keep constant at (0.4 mm). It is seen that the insert nose radius, feed rates, and cutting speed have different effect on the surface roughness. The minimum average surface roughness (0.225µm) has been measured using the nose radius insert (1.2 mm) at lowest feed rate (0.1 mm/rev). The highest surface roughness (1.838µm) has been measured with nose radius insert (0.4 mm) at highest feed rate (0.16 mm/rev). The analysis of ANOVA showed the cutting speed is not dominant in processing for the fine surface finish compared with feed rate and nose radius. Conclusion, surface roughness is decreasing with decreasing of the feed rate. High nose radius produce better surface finish than small nose radius because of the maximum uncut chip thickness decreases with increase of nose radius.

The orthogonal test of surface roughness in ultrasonic polishing nano-ZrO2 ceramics was carried out in the present paper. Through the test, the influence of machining parameters on the surface roughness was investigated. The test results showed that the influence of abrasive size on surface roughness is the most remarkable, and the other important factors are the depth of cut, on/off work situation of ultrasonic generator, axial feed speed, and working table speed in turns. Furthermore, through the regressive analysis of test data, an empirical formula of surface roughness was established to select reasonable polishing parameters.

Plastic optical components and lenses produced in mass quantities are usually manufactured using high-precision plastic injection technology. For that, high-precision plastic moulds with aluminium optical inserts made with extremely high dimension accuracy and high optical surface quality are used. Ultra-high precision single-point diamond turning have been successfully used in shaping optical mould inserts from various aluminium grades such as traditional 6061. However, extreme care should be taking when selecting machining parameters in order to produce optically valid surfaces before premature tool wear takes place especially when the machined optical materials has inadequate machining database. The current experimental study looks at the effect of cutting conditions on optical surfaces made from aluminium. The study embarks on helping establish some diamond machining database that helps engineers select the most favourable cutting parameters. The papers reports on the accuracy and surface finish quality received on an optical surface made on mould inserts from a newly developed aluminium alloy. Rapidly solidified aluminium (RSA) grades have been developed recently to address the various problems encountered when being cut by single-point diamond turning operation. The material is characterised by its extremely fine grained microstructure which helps extend the tool life and produce optical surfaces with nanometric surface finish. It is found the RSA grades can be successfully used to replace traditional optical aluminium grades when making optical surfaces. Surface finishes of as low as 10 nanometres and form accuracy of less than one micron can be achieved on RSA.
