This thesis is concerned with the study on the characteristics of the cutting resistance occurring in finish machining of hardened steels such as carbon tool steel and alloy tool steel by a ceramic tool with nose radius. For the purpose, the shape of cutting cross-section made at nose part of the tool was analyzed geometrically and the wear mechanism on the flank face of the ceramic tool is investigated. In order to investigate the characteristics of cutting resistance two categories of cutting conditions are suggested, along with geometrical analysis. One category includes the conventional cutting parameters such as feed and depth of cut, another containing new cutting parameters of thickness of cut and width of cut etc. Thickness of cut width of cut and area of undeformed chip section formed by the condition of engagement between workpiece and cutting tool are determined as the function of feed, depth of cut and nose radius of cutting too, And an effective approach angle is determined by depth of cut and nose radius.

As a new approach to analyze shear behaviors in the shear plane and chip-tool friction behaviors in the chip-tool contact region during an end milling process, this paper introduces a method to transform an end milling process to an equivalent oblique cutting process. In this approach, varying undeformed chip thicknesses and cutting forces in the up-and down-end milling process are replaced with the equivalent ones of oblique cutting. Accordingly, in the current paper, the shear and friction characteristics of end milling operations, up- and down-end milling, have been analyzed based on the equivalent oblique cutting models. Two series of cutting tests, up- and down-end milling tests and the equivalent oblique cutting tests to that, have been carried out to verify the validity of the analyses. And using the results of cutting tests the cutting characteristics of the up- and down-end milling processes have been thoroughly investigated.

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 kinematic characteristics of cutting device significantly affects cutting performance in 2-dimensional elliptical vibration cutting(EVC) where the cutting tool cuts workpiece, traversing a micro-scale elliptical trajectory in a trochoidal motion. In this study, kinematical characteristics of EVC device constructed with two parallel stacked piezoelectric actuators were analytically modeled and compared with the experimental results. The EVC device was subjected to step and low-frequency(0.1 Hz) sinusoidal inputs to reveal only its kinematical displacement characteristics. Hysteresis in the motion of the device was observed in the thrust direction and distinctive skew of the major axis of the elliptical trajectory of the cutting tool was also noticed. Discrepancy in the voltage-to-displacement characteristics of the piezoelectric actuators was found to largely contribute to the skew of the major axis of the elliptical trajectory of the cutting tool. Analytical kinematical model predicted the cutting direction displacement within 10 % error in magnitude with no phase error, but in estimating the thrust direction displacement, it showed a $27^{\circ}$ of phase-lag compared with the measured displacement with no magnitude error.

In recent years, hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas generated by electrically dissociating water has been proposed as alternative cutting fuel. The mixed gas consists of a hydrogen-oxygen mixed gas in the mixture ratio of 2:1. And gas has some merits as cutting quality and speed compared with existing gas cutting process. Because main source of mixed gas is water, mixed gas is environmental-friendly clean fuel. The purpose of the present paper is to investigate cutting characteristics and optimum cutting parameters of mixed gas, The effect of cutting parameter on the cutting characteristics of mixed gas is also investigated as compared to existing gas cutting process.

Evaluation of cutting condition is one of the most important aspect to improve productivity and quality. In this study, the wear and cutting characteristics(cutting force, acoustic emission signal and surface roughness) of ceramic cutting tool for hardened die material(SKD11) were investigated by experiment. Flank wear on relief face of tool was occurred more dominant than crater wear on rake face. Experiments were performed under the various cutting condition.

This study proposes the construction of attractor simulator for cutting characteristics evaluation of non-ferrous metals. Also this paper aims to find the optimal cutting conditions of diamond turning machine by measuring surface form and roughness to perform the cutting experiment of non-ferrous metals, which are aluminum, with diamond tool. As well, according to change cutting conditions such as feed rate, cutting force and surface roughness are measured by tool dynamometer. Trajectory changes in the attractor indicated a substantial difference in fractal characteristics. Constructed attractor in this study can be used for cutting characteristics evaluation of non-ferrous metals

The presence of cutting fluid for cutting tool and workpiece leads a temperature decrease, and reduces tool wear and residual stress. Moreover, it disposes chips from cutting area, and reduces thermal distortion. However, in manufacturing, cutting fluid used in cutting process is undesirable for both human and environmental aspect. Also, it's not economic for cutting cost. This paper studied experimentally the effects of cutting parameters on the characteristics of mist generation in turning. The results of experiment are as follows: 1) The more severe cutting conditions the more mist generate, 2) The ratio of weight concentrations of cutting fluid nearly have no an effect on the amounts of mist generation 3) The size of SMD is not affected by cutting parameters.

This experimental study mainly deal with the single and multi-insert cutting characteristics using coated tool. Because metal cutting of the single and multi-insert has a large relation to the improvement of productivity, the economic cutting process can be achieved by the analysis of proper metal cutting mechanism. Therefore, machining characteristics of face milling in this paper has been studied by investigating the role of different insert number which is concerned with mean cutting force, the RMS values of AE(acoustic emission) signal, tool life and surface roughness in milling SS 41 and SUS 304.

All types of VLM-s process include the linear heat cutting of EPS foam to generate a layer with 3D shape. The dimensional accuracy and part quality of the cut part are dependent on the thermal characteristics in the EPS foam. The thermal characteristics are determined by operating parameters such as an effective heat input and cutting angle. The objective of this study is to investigate into the influence of cutting angle on the kerfwidth and the melted length of the cut part using the numerical analysis and the experiments in generally sloped cutting with two cutting angles. In order to estimate an accurate temperature field, the transient thermal analysis using moving coordinate system, the fully conformed mesh and the heat flux model with two cutting angles is carried out. From the results of the analysis and the experiments, it has been found that the influence of the rotational angle about x-axis in which the rotational axis is normal with hotwire cutting direction is appreciably negligible in comparison with that of the rotational angle about y-axis.
