This paper presents the effects of the cutting speed and feed rate on the axial shape of flat end-milled down cut side walls. Experiments were performed using the cutting speed, tool diameter, and feed per tooth as variables, and the thrust force and axial shape were measured as the experimental results. The results of this study confirmed that a smaller feed per tooth, which is proportional to the value obtained by dividing the feed rate by the cutting speed, results in a higher axial shape accuracy. In addition, the axial shape can be simplified to a form in which two straight lines having different slopes meet at a singular point. Therefore, it was concluded that the shape accuracy could easily be estimated during the operation and improved by adjusting the feed per tooth.

Waterjet has been comprehensively used in urban areas owing to a suitable technique for cutting concrete and rock, and low noise and vibration. Recently, the abrasive waterjet technique has been adopted and applied by the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute to demolish concrete plugging without disturbing and damaging In-situ Demonstration of Engineered Barrier System in the disposal research tunnel. In this study, the use of abrasive waterjet in the tunnel was evaluated for practical applicability and the existing cutting model was compared with the experimental results. As a variable for waterjet cutting, multi-cutting, water flow rate, abrasive flow rate, and standoff distance were selected for the diversity of analysis. As regarding the practical application, the waterjet facilitated path selection for cutting the concrete plugging and prevented additional disturbances in the periphery. The pump's noise at idling was 64.9 dB which is satisfied with the noise regulatory standard, but it exceeded the standard at ejection to air and target concrete because the experiment was performed in the tunnel space. The experimental result showed that the error between the predicted and measured cutting volume was 12~13% for the first cut and 16% for second cut. The standoff distance had a significant influence on the cutting depth and width, and the error tended to decrease with decrement of standoff distance.

This research intends to gain the sight for the qualitative characteristics of precision cutting by using the CNC lathe with a mono-crystal diamond(MCD) and a poly-crystal diamond(PCD) tool on the cutting distance. In case of an MCD tool, as the cutting distance increases, the surface roughness becomes worse and the standard deviation of surface roughness is small. In case of a PCD tool, as the cutting distance increases, the surface roughness becomes stable with a large standard deviation. The cutting force ratio(Ft/Fn) decreases as the nose radius increases and the decreasing ratio becomes larger for small nose radius.

최근 유한요소법을 이용하여 절삭가공을 해석하는 연구가 많이 발표되고 있다. 이 때 가장 문제되는 점이 피삭재에서 칩으로 분리하는 조건이다. 일반적으로 칩 분리 조건이라 일컬어지는 이 조건을 어떻게 설정할 것인가에 대해 현재까지도 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 현재까지 제시된 칩 분리 판별 조건은 두 가지 유형 - 기하학적, 물리적으로 나눌 수 있다. 기하학적 칩 분리 조건은 공구 끝단과 바로 앞 요소의 거리를 기준으로 정해진 특정한 값에 도달하면 요소가 분리되는 혹은 없어지는 방법을 이용하는 것이며(Fig. 1 참조), 물리적 칩 분리 조건은 요소 내의 소성변형률 혹은 변형률 에너지 밀도함수 등의 값을 기준으로 분리시키는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 상용 유한요소 해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용하였으며 이 프로그램에서 제공하는 element birth/kill 기법을 이용하여 기하학적 판별조건에 도달하면 공구 끝단 앞의 요소가 사라지는 방법을 취하였다. Fig. 2는 절삭가공을 위한 유한요소 모델링을 나타낸다. 칩-공구 접촉 부위에 접촉요소를 사용하였으며, 피삭재의 왼쪽과 아래쪽 부위는 각각 변위구속을 하였다. 공구의 이동은 변위경계조건의 값을 변화시킴으로써 구현하였다. 절삭력을 비교함으로써 해석결과의 타당성을 검토하였으며, 피삭재 내의 응력, 변형률 분포 등을 살펴보았다.

최근 들어 공작기계 자동화의 보편화로 절삭가공작업은 고속화, 정밀화되고 있어 생산성을 높이고 있다. 하지만 이러한 생산성의 증가는 단위시간당 chip생산량을 증가시켰으며, 이에 따라 효율적이면서 바람직한 chip처리가 생산성 향상과 연관되어 매우 중요한 문제로 대두되었다. 본 연구에서는 부착장애형 chip breaker를 설치한 insert 공구를 이용, 피삭재로서 내식성, 내마모성을 기계적 성질이 우수하여 근래 산업의 여러 분야에서 각광받고 있는 난삭재 STS304를 절삭하였다. 난삭재 STS304연질금속으로서, 자유표면이 다소 매끄러운 일반재료와 달리 chip의 단면이 어느 정도 규칙적인 톱니형 chip을 발생한다. 그러므로 부착장애형 chip breaker의 각 및 거리, 기타 각 조건을 이용하여 STS304를 절삭특성 및 chip 조절상태를 관찰하고, 기존의 실험에서 자주 이용되었던 연강과 STS304의 비교절삭을 행하여 chip형태등을 비교하여 보는 것도 난삭재의 절삭가공기술 진전에 일조하리라 생각한다.

The monitoring of a free surface generated by waterjet cutting technology is very important for an efficient construction process. In this study, experiments using a laser sensor were performed to provide a data processing method and to determine optimized parameters. The experimental parameters here are the angular resolution, measurement distance, and free surface cutting shape. The results show that the monitoring resolution increases with a decrease in the angular resolution and the horizontal measurement distance and with an increase in the cutting (free surface) width. This laser monitoring method can be applied during the measurement of free surface shapes and depths in situ.

The rock fracturing during waterjet cutting is very complicated because rock is inhomogeneous and anisotropic, compared with artificial materials (e.g., metal or glass). Thus, it is very important to verify the effects of rock properties on waterjet rock cutting performance. Properties affecting the rock cutting efficiency have been variously described in the literature, depending on the experimental conditions (e.g., water pressure, abrasive feed rate, or standoff distance) and rock-types studied. In this study, a rock-property-related literature review was performed to determine the key properties important for waterjet rock cutting. Porosity, uniaxial compressive strength, and hardness of the rock were determined to be the key properties affecting waterjet rock cutting. The results of this analysis can provide the basic knowledge to determine the cutting efficiency of waterjet rock cutting technology for rock excavation-related construction.

New type of rock excavation method using a waterjet system is being developed to secure economic feasibility and to reduce vibrations during excavation. In waterjet rock excavation, overlapping of cutting width is essential for high efficiency. In this study, cutting experiments for granite specimens were performed using abrasive waterjet system according to the overlapping ratio and standoff distance. Based on the experimental results, the granite cutting performance was analyzed according to the overlapping ratio. In addition, removal shapes of the cross-section were analyzed in terms of the cutting depth, width, and volume after waterjet cutting. When the overlapping ratio is less than 58%, rock specimens are partially removed due to the insufficient overlapping ratio. However, when the overlapping ratio exceeds 67%, overcutting phenomenon is observed. For the partial overlapping ratio (i.e., 25~75%), cutting efficiency is increased in the removal volume. This study is expected to be used as the important basic data for determining the optimum overlapping ratio when the waterjet system is applied for rock excavation.

Curvic coupling of mill turret should maintain disk weight and the cutting resistance which occurs the machining operation and must also have power transmission function. In order to improve machining operation range, the ejecting distance from curvic coupling to the disk must increase as much as possible. But moment is increased by the lack of capacity of the curvic coupling. Increase of moment is the cause of vibration/noise and degradation of machining performance not only stability problem. The manufacturer of mill turret has no the design information between the ejecting distance and the cutting resistance with safety of curvic coupling. Therefore this study describes a finite element analysis model of mill turret using ANSYS workbench. The structural analyses and modal analyses with varying of the ejecting distances and cutting resistances are performed. Finally the equation for relationship between the critical ejecting distance and the cutting resistance is defined under 5 of the safety factor for the maximum von-Mises stress at the curvic coupling.

To overcome the limitation of conventional rock excavation methods, the excavation with abrasive waterjet has been actively developed. The abrasive waterjet excavation method has the effect of reducing blasting vibration and enhancing the excavation efficiency by forming a continuous free surface on the rock. However, the waterjet cutting performance varies with rock fracturing characteristics. Thus, it is necessary to analyze the cutting performance for various rocks in order to effectively utilize the waterjet excavation. In this study, cutting experiments with the high pressure waterjet system were performed for basalt and granite specimens. Water pressure, standoff distance, and traverse speed were determined as effective parameters for the abrasive waterjet cutting. The cutting depth and width of basalt specimens were analyzed to compare with granite results. The averaged cutting depth of basalt was shown in 41% deeper than granite; in addition, the averaged cutting width of basalt was formed by 18.5% narrower than granite. The results of this study are expected to be useful basic data for applying rock excavation site with low strength and high porosity such as basalt.
