The machinability of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy and tool wear behavior in machining of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy was studied to understand the machining characteristics. This material is one of the strong candidate materials in present and future aerospace or medical applications. Recently, their usage has already been broaden to everybody's commercial applications such as golf heads, finger rings and many decorative items. To anticipate the general use of this material and development of the titanium alloys in domestic facilities, the review and the study of the machining parameters for those alloys are necessary. This study is concentrated to the machining parameters of the Ti-6A1-4V alloy due to their dominant position in the production of titanium alloys.

최근 유용한 신소재로많은 광심을 보이고 있는 오스템퍼처리 구상흑연 주철(Austempered Ductile Cast Iron 이하 ADI라 한다) 은 기지조직이 베이나이트와 잔류 오스테나이트로 구성되어있기 때문에 같은 화학 조성을 갖는 일반 구상 흑연 주철에 비하여 연성 및 연성의 감소가 없이 2배 정도의 강도를 증가 시킬수 있기 때문에 자동차, 선박 부품 및 각종 기계부품에 적용시키기 위한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서로 재질의 성분이 다른 고속도강 드릴인 소경드릴을 이용하여 ADI재료를 보통(비관통)이송 및 단계이송 절삭가공시 발생되는 공구의 마멸량과 표면조도와의 관계, 절삭력의 변화에 따른 공구마멸과 공구수명과의 관계를 실험적으로 규명하여 ADI재료 의 보통 및 단계이송절삭시 공구수명에 미치는 제반 절삭특성의 영향에 관해 고찰 하고자 한다.

The most important thing in measuring the tool wear is to set up the measurement base. The end mill that is being used for machining of die is difficult to set up the base and to measure the tool wear because of geometric properties of that such as a helix and relief angle. In this study, a new instrument using spindle orientation function in end milling is developed to measure the tool wear and evaluated by the measuring system on the machine. Finally, this new method makes possible the wear measurement of same position and reduces the measuring time compared with the measuring methods such as the microscope and CCD.

The development of flexible automation in the manufacturing industry is concerned with production activities performed by unmanned machining system A major topic relevant to metal-cutting operations is monitoring toll wear, which affects process efficiency and product quality, and implementing automatic toll replacements. In this paper, the measurement of the cutting force components has been found to provide a method for an in-process detection of tool wear. The static com-ponents of cutting force have been used to detect flank wear. To eliminate the influence of variations in cutting conditions, tools, and workpiece materials, the force modeling is performed for various cutting conditions. The normalized force dis-parities are defined in this paper, and the relationships between normalized disparity and flank were are established. Final-ly, artificial neural network is used to learn these relationships and detect tool wear. According to proposed method, the static force components could provide the effective means to detect flank wear for varying cutting conditions in turning operation.

For the purpose of monitoring the abnormal state in proportion to cutting in automatic production process, the 3 kinds of specimens different from mechanical properties by austempering through temperature variation were manufactured, and the effects of tool wear on thrust and AE RMS was analyzed with sequential drilling in in-process. When the ADI specimens were drilled, the relationship of thrust and AE RMS with flank wear was studied through experiments, and it is confirmed that the reliable wear state is able to be monitored by using these signals. It was shown that thrust and AE RMS increased slowly till flank wear reached to V$_{B}$ = 0.25mm, and they increased steeply over the value. The effective tool exchange time was able to be pre-estimated by using this fact. It was validated that the tool breakage was able to be detected on the real time by monitoring in in-process.s.

Acoustic emission(AE) signals detected during metal cutting were applied as the experimental test to sensing tool wear and chipping on the NC vertical milling machine. The in-process detection of cutting tool wear including chipping, cracking and fracture has been investigated by means of AE in spite of vibration or noise through intermittent metal cutting, then the following results were obtained 1) When the tool wear is increased suddenly, or the amplitude of AE signals changes largely, it indicates chipping or breaking of the insert tip. 2) It was confirmed that AE signal is highly sensitive to the cutting speed and tool wear. 3) At the early period of cutting, the wear were large and RMS value increased highly by the influence of minute chipping and cracking, etc. Therefore, the above situations should be considered for the time when the tool would be changed.

A new optimal tool design model which can be minimized the resultant cutting forces under the constrains of variables was developed. The resultant cutting forces are used as the objective function and tool angles are used as the variables. Cutting experiments of tool wear and chip length using the new and conventional tools wee carried out. Tool life of optimized cutter are more increased than those of conventional cutter by 2.29 times and 2.52 times at light and at heavy cutting conditions respectively. Chip length of optimized cutter are more increased than those of conventional cutter It is considered that the decrease of the resultant cutting forces is the cause that an effective rake and shear angles by the shape of optimal cutter.

In this study, the carbon steels, SM20C were machined with the tungsten carbide tipped circular saw to clarify the cutting-off characteristics in terms of tool wear. The results show that an improved performance in view of both the tool wear and the cutting efficiency was obtained by using oil base cutting fluid at the cutting speed of 100m/min with the feed of 0.06mm/tooth. The rake angle of 10$^{\circ}$ , clearance angle of 8$^{\circ}$ , nose radius of R0.1mm, and end cutting edge champer of 0.1mm$\times$25$^{\circ}$ are believed as the best tool geometries. The tool wear decreases due to using the saw of the disk of STS5 and the tool material of P30.
