In the design of a tunnel boring machine (TBM), the excavation efficiency of the equipment depends on the design of the cutter head, which is directly in contact with the ground. Especially, the allocation of disc cutter is crucial issue. Disc cutters can be divided into center cutter zone, inner cutter zone and transition cutter zone depending on where they are placed. Many studies have been conducted to identify optimal cutting conditions for face cutters. However, research to determine the optimal cutting conditions for the transition cutter has been relatively incomplete. In this study, to identify the optimal cutting conditions for the transition cutter, numerical analysis using discrete element method was performed, and the specific energy curve according to the angle between the transition cutters was drawn to find out the optimum cutting conditions. The results show that the angle between the transition cutters showing minimum specific energy in the transition cutter zone is 9°. Transition cutter zone was divided into three sections according to the slope angle of the transition cutter. It is also found that, the greater the slope angle of the transition cutter. This finding shows good agreement with the present design of transition cutter zone.

오늘날 전자산업, 광학기계,미세노즐 및 오리피스, 정밀공구,게이지, 고밀도 PCB 기판등 각종 산업에서 미세구멍 가공기술이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 구멍 가공에 사용될 수 있는 기술로는 드릴 가공의 기계적 가공방식 이외에 레이져가공,전자빔가공, 방전가공등의 열적가공방식과 전해가공,전해연마,화학부식의 화학적가공 방식이 있겠으나 생산성, 가공표면의 정도, 심혈가공의 어려움 등의 이유로 미세드릴을 이용한 기계적인 가공방법이 선호되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 미세구멍/가공시 가공토크에 미치는 중요 변수들의 영향을 실험을 통하여 조사하여 높은 절삭성을 발휘하는 동시에 공구의 파손도 피할 수 있는 조건을 제시하였다.

공작기계부품 가공을 위한 공정표는 가공공정, 공정별 도면 분할, 가공기계 등을 결정하는 공정계획과 한 공정에 대하여 가공방법, 가공공구, 절삭조건, 공수등을 결정하는 작업계획을 통하여 발행된다. 작업계획에서 가공방법과 가공공구의 결정은 절삭조건과 공수에 영향을 주는 중요한 요소이다. 기존의 연구에서는 가공방법과 가공공구를 결정하기 위해 전문가 시스템 쉘(expert system shell)이용한 사례가 많았다. 이 경우, 지식 베이스(knowledge base) 의 구축에 많은 시간이 소요되고, 지식이 변했을 때 수정의 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 표준화되지 않아 변경의 소지가 많은 가공방법과 가공공구 결정에 뉴럴 네트워크(neural network)의 한 종류인 백 프로퍼게이션 (back propagation) 학습 모델을 이용했다. 공정계획 후 분할된 공정별 도면으로부 터 크기 및 정밀도 등과 같은 특징형상(feature) 정보를 추출한 후, 특징형상 의 종류와 크기, 치수공차, 기하공차, 거칠기 등을 입력하여 가공방법 및 가 공공구가 출력되도록 학습패턴을 설정하여 학습시켰다. 학습패턴은 공정설계 전문가와 인터뷰하는 방법과 작업계획 과정을 분석하는 방법을 통하여 설정 했다. 백 프로퍼게이션 모델을 통하여 학습시킨 결과, 학습시킨대로 정확한 가공방법 및 가공공구를 결정할 수 있었다.

Inconel 718 alloy, widely used as material of aircraft engine, has a good mechanical property in high temperature, strong anti-oxidation characteristics in oxidated current over $900^{\circ}C$, and also is not easily digested in the air containing sulfur, therefore, its usage as mechanical component is expanding rapidly. Even though Inconel alloy 718 is difficult to machine, it requires highly precise processing/machining to sustain its component quality of high accuracy. In this paper, general turning operation conditions are tested to select the best cutting process condition by measuring surface roughness through implementing experiments with orthogonal array of cutting speed, feeding speed and cutting depth as processing parameters based on the Taguchi method. Optimal turning operation conditions are extracted from the proposed experimental models.

At present, industries and researchers are looking for ways to reduce the use of lubricants because of ecological and economical reasons. Therefore, metal cutting is to move toward dry cutting or semi-dry cutting. One of the technologies is known as MQL machining. This paper presents an investigation into MQL machining with the objective of evaluating cylindricity and cooling effect for the turning process of SM45C. To reach this goal, cylindrical-outer-diameter turning experiments are carried out according to cutting conditions with fluid, MQL and dry machining methods. A cutting force, tool-shank temperature and cylindricity of workpiece are measured and analyzed. The correlation between cutting conditions and cylindricity are evaluated according to cooling lubricant environments.

The spiral up milling of an aluminum alloy was performed in this study. In accordance with the cutting condition, the surface roughness behavior and significance of the research with regard to specific factors were analyzed. The cutting speed, feed, and depth of the cut were found to be statistically significant. A higher cutting speed improved the surface roughness. On the other hand, as the feed and depth of the cut increase, the surface roughness decreases. An interaction effect between the feed and depth of the cut was detected. According to the surface roughness in relation to the cutting conditions, the model showed non-linear behavior.

Theoretical and experimental studies on burr formation and deburring in many manufacturing processes have been actively pursued. Though micro-drilling has become more important in the production of precision parts such as PCB, air bearing, camera and nozzle, most studies on drilling burr formation have focused on the conventional drilling process. This paper describes burr formation process and the effect of cutting conditions such as spindle speed, feedrate and drilling depth per one step on burr formation in drilling A6061 with drills of diameter 1.0mm and 0.6mm. Experimental results showed that burr with cap were formed at relatively low feedrates, while petal burrs with several large burr fragments were formed at high feedrates. Burr height appeared to increase at the hight feedrates and lower spindle speeds. The effect of final cutting depth on burr height was negligible.

This paper presents a general procedure for the selection of the machining parameters for a given machine which provides the maximum material removal rate using a Genetic Algorithms(GAs). Some constraints were given in order to achieve desired surface integrity and cutting tool life conditions as wel as to protect machine tool. Such a constrained problem can be transformaed to unconstrained problem by associating a penalty with all constraint violations and the penalties are included in the function evaluation. Genetic Algorithms can be used for finding global optimum cutting conditions with respect to the above cost function transformed by pennalty function method. From the demonstration of the numerical results, it was found that the near optimal conditions could be obtained regardless of complex solution space such as cutting environment.
