Published: June 2019

Titanium alloys are widely used in the manufacture of aircraft and aeroengine components. However, tool wear is a serious concern in milling titanium alloys, which are known as hard-to-cut materials. Trochoidal milling is a promising technology for the high-efficiency machining of hard-to-cut materials. Aiming to realize green machining titanium alloy, this paper investigates the effects of undeformed chip thickness on tool wear and chip morphology in the dry trochoidal milling of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. A tool wear model related to the radial depth of cut based on the volume of material removed (VMR) is established for trochoidal milling, and optimized cutting parameters in terms of cutting speed and axial depth of cut are selected to improve machining efficiency through reduced tool wear. The investigation enables the environmentally clean rough machining of Ti-6Al-4V.

Impact of Chip Breaker Geometry on the Performance of Actively Rotary Monolithic Turning Tools.

Materials (Basel)

March 2025

Department of Machining and Production Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, University of Žilina, Univerzitná 1, 010 26 Žilina, Slovakia.

The control of chip formation is a key aspect of modern turning operations, as improper chip formation can negatively affect tool life, surface quality, and overall machining efficiency. One approach to improving chip control is the integration of a chip breaker into the geometry of the cutting tool. This study examines the impact of chip-breaking geometry on the performance of monolithic rotary tools in active rotation turning.

Objective: To conduct a systematic review on the mechanical properties of 3D printed resin-based composites when compared with those of subtractively manufactured resin-based composites.

Materials And Methods: In vitro studies comparing the mechanical properties of additively and subtractively manufactured resin-based composites were sought. A systematic search, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), was performed on four databases (PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus) for articles published until 23 December 2024.

This study aims to analyze the influence of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut) on cutting temperature, forces, and energy consumption during the dry turning of Ti6Al4V, providing an optimized machining strategy to improve efficiency and sustainability. Due to the challenges of machining this alloy, such as high temperatures and tool wear, response surface methodology (RSM) was used to develop second-degree polynomial models, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) identified the most influential factors. The results indicate that depth of cut has the highest impact on cutting temperature (42.

Experimental Insights into Free Orthogonal Cutting of Stellite.

Materials (Basel)

February 2025

Institute of Design and Engineering Technologies, Faculty of Engineering, Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra, 949 76 Nitra, Slovakia.

The effectiveness of a machining process can be determined by analysing the quality of the generated surface and the rate of tool wear. Stellite is highly challenging to machine, which is why it is primarily processed through grinding methods. This study concentrates on the impact of cutting parameters and tool wear (, ) on the created surface roughness surface (, , ) during the orthogonal cutting of Stellite 6, which is overlaid on a steel surface, C45, prepared by means of HP/HVOF (JP-5000).

Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) is a difficult-to-machine material, known for its excellent physical and chemical properties. However, traditional machining methods incur high tool wear costs when processing this material. The near-dry electrical discharge milling (N-EDM) method, which removes excess material via electroerosion, mitigates the impact of titanium alloy's hardness and strength, enabling effective material cutting.
