Quality of cut is strongly dependent on the cutting pressure, so this relationship can be identified by pressure measuring system. In this paper, the experiments presented were performed with the devised pressure measuring system and the laser cutting of STS 304. Convergent type and convergent-divergent type nozzle were used for pressure variation of the distance between nozzle and workpiece. In laser cutting of STS 304, 1.0 kW CO $\_$2/ laser used. The convergent type nozzle(1.0 mm diameter) pressured above 3 kgf/cm $\^$2/, the MSD(Mach Shock Disk) created, which caused the the pressure variations of the distance between nozzle and workpiece. The maximum cutting pressure exists in accordance with the variation of distance. In spite of far distance the maximum cutting pressure is achieved by using the pressure measuring system. The higher cutting pressure beneath the workpiece the less quantity of dross and the kerf width. Since the higher cutting pressure helps to remove the quantity of dross and to stop the exothermic energy into the material. The optimum laser cutting parameter of STS 304(2.0 mm thickness) with the convergent type nozzle(1.0 mm diameter)is 0.75 mm and 2.5 mm distance between nozzle and workpiece, 4 kgf/cm $\^$2/ cutting pressure. In 3.0 mm thickness case, 1.5 mm and 2.25 mm distance is achieved for good quality.

End milling is an important and common machining operation because of its versatility and capability to produce various profiles and curved surfaces. This paper presents an experimental study of the cutting force variations in the end milling of SM25C with HSS(high speed steel) and carbide tool. This paper involves a study of the Taguchi design application to optimize cutting force in a end milling operation. The Taguchi design is an efficient and effective experimental method in which a response variable can be optimized, given various control and noise factors, using fewer resources than a factorial design. This study included feed rate, spindle speed and depth of cut as control factors, and the noise factors were different cutting tool in the same specification. An orthogonal array of $L_9(3^3)$ of ANOVA analyses were carried out to identify the significant factors affecting cutting force, and the optimal cutting combination was determined by seeking the best cutting force and signal-to-noise ratio. Finally, confirmation tests verified that the Taguchi design was successful in optimizing end milling parameters for cutting force.

A new via cutting structure in 2-layer DRAM package substrate has been fabricated to lower its power distribution network(PDN) impedance. In new structure, part of the via is cut off vertically and its remaining part is designed to connect directly with the bonding pad on the package substrate. These via structure and substrate design not only provide high routing density but also improve the PDN impedance by shortening effectively the path from bonding pad to VSSQ plane. An additional process is not necessary to fabricate the via cutting structure because its structure is completed at the same time during a process of window area formation. Also, burr occurrence is minimized by filling the via-hole inside with a solder resist. 3-dimensional electromagnetic field simulation and S-parameter measurement are carried out in order to validate the effects of via cutting structure and VDDQ/VSSQ placement on the PDN impedance. New DRAM package substrate has a superior PDN impedance with a wide frequency range. This result shows that via cutting structure and power/ground placement are effective in reducing the PDN impedance.

The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of clearance angle on cutting performance in high speed end milling operation. The tool geometry parameters have complex relationship with cutting process parameter. In order to explain the effect of clearance angle, 2D turning operation in lathe and end milling operations are performed. Tools with different clearance angles are manufactured. Cutting forces, machining accuracy and tool life are examined according to the change of clearance angle. As clearance angle increases, cutting force decreases and machining accuracy improves. But it has been proved that there exists the optimal clearance angle according to the diameter of end mill for maximum tool life which is measured by frank wear.

In order to suggest the proper optimal conditions of the CNC milling machining for the Thin-wall surface, some experiments were carried out. The process was applied in the aerospace industry for the machining of light alloys, notably aluminium. In recent year, however, the mold and die industry has begun to use the technology for the production of components, including those manufactured from hardened tool steels. And the end mill is an important tool in the milling process. A typical example for the end mill is the milling of pocket and slot in which a lot of material is removed from the workpiece. Therefore the proper selection of cutting parameter for end milling is one of the important factors affecting the cutting cost. In this paper, we choose the optimal parameters(cutting forces) to cut thin-walled Al part by experiment.

Machining performance in hard turning of hardened AISI M2 steel has been studied. Ceramic tools were used in the cutting tests without coolants and workpiece was prepared by heat treatment to increase its hardness up to Rc 60. Cutting state parameters such as cutting forces, temperature, and tool wear were measured in the experiments and effects of tool wear on cutting states were investigated.

As tools for machining precision components, end mills and ball end mills are widely used. For the end mills have longer cylindrical shape comparing diameter, liable to deflect and induce deterioration of surface roughness. Tool geometry parameters and cutting process have complex relations with each other. So, It is hard to determine hew to select optimal tool geometry. So, to improve the stiffness, relationship between cutting process and tool geometry must be studied. In this study, relations between grinding wheel geometry, setting condition and tool geometry are revealed. For the purpose of studying relations between each parameter, the equivalent diameter of tool has been calculated assuming tool as a simple beam. By the various cutting simulations and experiments, tool geometry and cutting process has been studied.

Use of engineering ceramics has been increasing due to the outstanding physical and chemical properties. Conventional machining processes, however, are not applicable due to their hardness and brittleness. Laser cutting is a promising alternative for these ceramics. In this study, experimental data of CO $_{2}$ laser cutting of $Al_{2}$ $O_{3}$ and Si $_{3}$ N $_{4}$ are obtained to give a guide in the industry. Results of $Al_{2}$ $O_{3}$ cutting showed extreme weakness to thermal crack and it was found that pulsed beam has to be used for thick $Al_{2}$ $O_{3}$ specimen. Si $_{3}$ N $_{4}$ showed good results for both CW and pulsed beams. Using pulsed beam resulted narrower kerf width with increased surface roughness a nd reduced cutting speed. It was also found that a parameter call path energy is useful for representing minimum threshold value for possible cutting range with pulsed beam.

Surface roughness is significantly important to be high quality of parts produced by turning process. For this purpose, the optimization of cutting parameters for face turning operation is investigated applying the Taguchi method.

Burrs formed during face milling operations are very hard to characterize because there are many parameters that affect the cutting process. Many researchers have tried to predict burr characteristics including burr size and shapes with various experimental conditions such as cutting speed, feed rate, in-plane exit angle, number of inserts, etc., but it still remains as a challenging problem for the complex combined effects between the parameters. In this paper, the Taguchi method, which is a systematic optimization application in design and analysis of experiments, is introduced to acquire optimum cutting parameters for burr minimization in face milling. Also, analysis of variance (AVOVA) is employed to study the performance characteristics in more detail. Experimental verifications are provided to show the effectiveness of this approach.
