Surface Finish Comparison of Dry and Coolant Fluid High-Speed Milling of JIS SDK61 Mould Steel

Abstract

This paper investigates the influence of dry high-speed milling on the surface quality of JIS SKD61 hard steel, compared to the conventional coolant fluid method. This research was conducted in a Super MC 500 high-speed CNC milling machine with a Hitachi coated carbide 20mm in diameter. High-speed cutting parameters such as cutting speed V, cutting depth t, and spindle speed S were considered as variants. The experiment was designed based on Taguchi's L9. Surface quality, including Ra and Rq, was measured using the Mitutoyo Surftest SV-210. A mathematical regression model was found for the average values of surface roughness through regression analysis for dry and coolant fluid conditions. The chosen high-speed milling parameters and the respective Ra and Rq values were obtained by ANOVA. The grey relation scores for wet and dry milling surface quality for cut depth, feed rate, and cutting speed were 0.7527, 0.7869, 0.6302, and 0.8167, 0.7199, 0.6040, respectively. The results showed that the feed rate had the greatest influence on the surface quality during the high-speed coolant milling of hardened steel, while the depth of the cut had the greatest influence on the surface quality during the high-speed dry milling process.

Improving the Accuracy of Surface Roughness Modeling when Milling 3x13 Steel

“…So, a new model of surface roughness has been established as shown in (2). Transforming (2) we get the surface roughness model as in (3). This model has coefficients R-Sq and R-Sq(adj) of 0.8669, 0.7172 respectively.…”

“…The four parameters commonly used to evaluate the accuracy of a regression model include the coefficient of determination R-Sq, the coefficient of determination R-Sq(adj), the Percentage of Absolute Error (PAE), and the Mean Square Error (MSE) of the results calculated by the regression model and the experiments [1,2]. The significance of these coefficients has been discussed in [1][2][3]. The regression model has high accuracy when the two parameters R-Sq and R-Sq(adj) are as large as possible, and close to 1, while PAE and MSE are as small as possible.…”

The Influence of Plasma Nitriding Technology Parameters on the Hardness of 18XГT Steel Parts

“…plasma nitriding layer. Some methods have been developed to calculate and predict the nitrogen concentration and the nitride compounds produced during the nitriding process for pure iron and to measure the depth of the nitrogen diffusion zone in parts after plasma nitriding [4,5,[14][15][16][17].…”

A Study on the Influence of Plasma Nitriding Technology Parameters on the Working Surface Deformation of Hypoid Gears

“…The constraining forces at the contact trace acting on the active and passive gears are equal, but the tangential forces are not equal [1]. Hypoid gears are shaped by milling [2] (Figure 1(a)). This study uses plasma nitriding to improve the working surface quality of hypoid gears.…”
