Current demands on quality are the engine of searching for new progressive materials which should ensure enough durability in real conditions. Due to their mechanical properties, however, they cannot be applied to conventional machining methods. In respect to productivity, one of the methods is the finding of such machining technologies which allow achieving an acceptable lifetime of cutting tools with an acceptable quality of a machined surface. One of the mentioned technologies is trochoidal milling. Based on our previous research, where the effect of changing cutting conditions (cutting speed, feed per tooth, depth of cut) on tool lifetime was analysed, next, we continued with research on the influences of trochoid parameters on total machining force (step and engagement angle) as parameters adjustable in the CAM (computer-aided machining) system. The main contribution of this research was to create a mathematical-statistical model for the prediction of cutting force. This model allows setting up the trochoid parameters to optimize force load and potentially extend the lifetime of the cutting tool.
Production and control of accurate surface bring some issues. There are some technological limits of machining, but we have to know how to control these machined surfaces due to functional and life-time properties, which are affected mainly by roughness surface. Most important part of system of roughness surface measuring is suppression of nominal shape of scanned profile, its filtration according to standard ISO 4288 and evaluation according to the relevant standards. This article described process of filtration of roughness surface profile. If operator of the measuring instrument omits some important aspects at this stage, we obtain incorrect roughness surface profile, which significantly distorts the results of measurement leading to a rough error. The article is aimed at verifying roughness meters and indicates if a certain amount of data would be lost as if this loss affected the measurement result. Objectively, such a loss of data was simulated in the evaluation by considering every 7th scanned point at constant velocity of measurement.
The product price consists from several items. Time needed for adequate control of product is one of the most significant items, which can get expensive. So it is important, how the measurement strategy (measurement plan) is prepared. Time, which is not used for control of products by 3D measurement machine, is financial loss for company. This article deals with simulation of contact measurement, as a progressive tool, for preparation and creation of measurement plans for 3D coordinate measurement machines. Furthermore, the article deals with factors, that are not taken into account by offline programming during creation of measurement plan. Those can ultimately lead to significant difference between measurement simulation and measurement performed in workspace of measurement machines or CNC machines. This difference can cause serious shortcomings in measurement plans created in offline programming modules.
Surface integrity is a broad term which includes various quality factors affecting the functional properties of parts. Residual stress is one of these factors. Machining generates residual stresses in the surface and subsurface layers of the structural elements. X-ray diffractometry is a non-destructive method applicable for the measurement of residual stresses in surface and subsurface layers of components. The article is focused on the non-destructive progressive method of triaxial measurement of residual stress after machining the surface of sample by high feed milling technology. Significance of triaxial measuring is the capability of measuring in different angles so it is possible to acquire stress tensor containing normal and shear stress components acting in the spot of measuring, using a Cartesian coordinate system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
