Abstract. Generally the study, evaluation and general understanding of end milling cutters are complicated by the complexity of the cutting process and of the cutting tool. The main performance factor of the end milling cutters is given by the durability of the tool. In practice the sound analysis of the tool engaged in the cutting process is used as a simple predictability mean to forecast the future durability of the tool. An alternative or complementary tool to predict future durability is the investigation of the chip behaviour. Chip behaviour investigations can also give clues concerning the possible improvement of the cutting tools. The current article presents a detailed chip behaviour investigation for 5-fluted end milling cutters with different performances and various geometries when approaching different types of metal cutting operations in 42CrMo4 alloy steel. Current study can be applied in future researches regarding the evaluation and the development of end milling cutters. Furthermore the current approach can be used on other types of cutting tools.
In this paper are presented and analyzed a series of problems that are appearing during the CFRP machining. Due to their properties, the composite materials began to replace traditional materials (ferrous and non-ferrous) in a lot of industries leading out the development of new methods of machining or adaptation of the classic. Unlike traditional material, drilling in CFRP is more difficult due to inhomogeneity of the material, its high hardness but also due to lack of knowledge relating to how these materials behave. This paper investigates different types of tool wears as corner wear, welding, crater wear that are appearing in drilling operation due to the highly abrasive nature of the carbon fibers. Also, here is presented an evaluation that refers to the machined hole quality and describe defects as delamination, pull outs, fibers projections, pyrolysis and shape errors. The main goal of this paper is to verify the current status of technique in CFRP drilling in order to develop and produce a new drill geometry in a cooperation between the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and the cutting tool company Gühring KG.
The complex variable nature of the milling process complicates the scientific effort to understand it. Most scientific papers in this domain have focused on giving a particular solution for a specific subject of study, like: tool life, cutting forces, obtained surfaces after machining and so on. However a systematical analytical method for developing end milling cutter tools has not been found in the current literature. The main goal of this paper is to introduce and to give a general overview in the field of developing end milling cutters. The step-by-step approach focuses on the main element of a cutting tool: material, coating and geometry. Through an analytical study of the development of end milling cutters all elements in the design, manufacturing and testing have been taken into consideration. Such a method can be implemented when trying to analyze and summarize the research in the field of end milling cutters. The current paper is a preliminary evaluation in the development of end milling cutters. Further research will be accomplished in partnership between the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and tool company Gühring KG.
This study presents new machining types of advanced materials. Super alloys, ceramics and fiber reinforced plastics started being used on a large scale in the last period, this making necessary the development of new machines and machining processes. This paper describes different methods of ultrasonic machining and makes a comparison between them. By ultrasonic machining can be understood a process that involves axial vibrations with a high frequency and low amplitude, for improving the machining conditions like chip flute removal, tool wear and temperature reducing. In this paper, are presented three different ultrasonic machining methods. In the first one, the cutting process is made by abrasive slurry inserted between the tool and the workpiece, in the second one is made by a rotating diamond-brazed tool and in the last one is made by a special drill. This paper aims to study the current status in this field in order to make a research program through collaboration between the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca and the tool company Gühring KG by which to develop ultrasonic drilling.
