The cutting tests of high tensile steel plate(AH36) were carried out using CNC plasma arc cutting machine. Both top and bottom width of kerf and the surface roughness(Ra, Rmax) of cut surface are measured under various cutting conditions such as cutting speed, steel plate thickness, etc. In the CNC plasma arc cutting, the surface roughness decreases as cutting speed increases. The hardness is high up to 4mm depth from the cutting surface. In the cutting speed 1300~2100mm/min, the ratio of proper kerf width(Wt/Wb) is around 2.6. Through the series the series of experiments, the satisfactory cutting conditions of high tensile steel plate were found.

In the gas cutting of plate steel, the quality of the cut surfaces and sections is strongly dependent on the cutting conditions such as cutting speed, kerf width, plate thickness, material, distance between tip and specimen, and cutting oxygen pressure etc. The cutting tests of plate steel were carried out using CNC gas cutting machine. This paper deals with cut surface and section characteristics of plate steel in CNC gas cutting. Both top and bottom widths of kerf, the surface roughness(Ra, Rmax) of cutting surfaces are measured under various cutting conditions such as cutting speed, material, distance between tip and specimen, and cutting thickness. The photographs of cut surface and cut section are also analyzed under various cutting conditions.

The dimensional accuracy and global roughness between successive layers of VLM-s, which is a new rapid prototyping process using hotwire cutter and EPS foam, depend significantly on the operating parameters of hotwire cutter. In the present study, the effect of cutting angle on the kerf width and edge shape in hotwire cutting of EPS foam for the case of single-sloped cutting with one cutting angle was investigated. Through single-sloped cutting tests, the modified relationship between kerf width and effective heat input, considering the effect of the cutting angle, and the relationship between the melted area and the cutting angle were obtained. In order to investigate the effect of cutting angles on the thermal field in EPS foam, transient heat transfer analyses using single-sloped volumetric heat flux model and locally-conformed mesh were performed. Through the comparison between experimental and numerical results, it was shown that the proposed analysis model is needed to estimate the three-dimensional temperature distribution of the EPS foam for the case of single-sloped hotwire cutting.

One of the most important things in shipbuilding is to select light and high tensile strength materials. Therefore, the use of Al alloy in shipbuilding become an increase. In cutting the aluminum plate, the quality of the cut surface is strongly influenced by the cutting conditions such as cutting speed, kerf width, plate thickness, cutting materials, and applied gas pressure. The cutting experiment of Al alloy plate(5083) were carried out using LASER cutting machine. The upper and lower of kerf width, the surface roughness(Ra, Rmax) of cut surface were measured under various cutting conditions. The morphologies of cutting surface were also monitored at various cutting conditions. The optimum cutting conditions of Al alloy among tested were indicated.

This study was undertaken to investigate the cutting behaviour of super duralumin (A2024-T3) with sintered carbide tool(P20). The cutting test was carried out under different conditions such as cutting speed, cutting depth and rake angle, etc. The specific cutting force Kc and Kt of vertical and radial forces decreases as cutting speed increases, especially the decrease rate of Kt becomes larger than of Kc as cutting speed increases. Kc and Kt in small cutting depth are much affected by work-hardening of surface layer. The chip width and shear angle become layer as cutting depth increases, especially chip width at feed of 0.1mm almost approaches cutting width. Relation between the friction coefficient of chip side and tool rake angle side can make the modelization studying the built-up edge size. The shear angle model equation of super duralumin generally agree with theory of Ernst-Merchant.

The application of abrasive-assisted high energy water-jet was investigated as a possible new method of cutting wood. In this study the maximum cutting speeds for species of various wood density were determined and water-jet machining characteristics were investigated for sixteen Korean domestic species. The maximum cutting speed ranged from 200 to 750 mm/min. The results indicate that wood density affects machining characteristics such as maximum cutting speed, surface roughness, and kerf width. Roughness of surface generated increased and kerf width decreased as penetration depth increased.

Early fracture and cutting force of ceramic tool for hardened STC3 steel was investigated in this study. It was found that early fracture of ceramic tool was mostly occurred before normal wear was progressed beyond a critical cutting speed and normal wear was performed under the critical cutting speed. The relationships among critical cutting speed, which was a cause of early fracture, suggested cutting cross section, that is, maximum thickness of cut and width of cut, and cutting force were examined. The following conclusions were obtained: (1)Critical cutting speed showed a high value in the case of small maximum thickness of cut and large nose radius, but was not influenced by width of cut, (2)Principal, feed and radial force, respectively, showed the proportional value to constant cutting area, width of cut and maximum thickness of cut orderly, (3)Occurrence of early fracture was dependent upon radial force.

The stencil is a thin stainless sheet in which a pattern is formed, which is placed on a surface of plate to reproduce the pattern of electric circuit. Conventionally the stencil has been produced by etching process. This process has many anti-environmental factors. In this study, Nd : YAG laser cutting process has been applied for stencil manufacturing. The study is focused on estimating kerf width of laser cut stencil by E.B.P.(Error Back-Propagation). This algorithm is good for estimating target value from input value. In this paper, target value was kerf width, and input values were frequency, pulse width, cutting speed and laser power. E.B.P. after teaming input and target could estimate kerf width from some variables precisely.
