In this study, the effect of cutting edge geometry, such as helix and rake angles, on surface roughness in ball-end milling is investigated by using the Taguchi method. A set of experiments adopting the $L_{27}(3^{13})$ design with an orthogonal array are conducted with special WC ball-end mills having different helix and rake angles. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is performed to analyze the effects of tool geometry and machining parameters, such as cutting speed, feed per tooth, and depth of cut, on surface roughness. The ANOVA results reveal that helix and rake angles are critical factors affecting surface roughness; the interaction of helix angle and cutting speed is also important. This research can contribute to novel cutting edge designs of ball-end mills and optimization of cutting parameters.

Acoustic emission(AE) is monitored during end milling with a sensor attached to the cutting fluid discharge nozzle. Cutting forces are also measured and compared with the AE signals to examine the reliability of the AE signals. It is demonstrated that the AE signals provide reliable informations about the cutting processes and tool states. Moreover, edge chipping and fracture of tools can be successfully detected using both the AE signals and cutting forces.

We have studied the annealing effects of 570 (SrTiO$_3$) single crystal substrate and the I-V properties of step-edge junctions after Ar ion milling. YBa$_2Cu_3O_7$ (YBCO) thin films are fabricated on the substrates by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) and photolithography. The surface of Ar ion milled substrate was characterized with atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. After the substrate was damaged by milling, the critical current density of YBCO thin films deposited on the substrate was lowered. The annealing of the damaged substrate at about 1000 $^{\circ}C$ recovered the critical current density to that before the milling. Futhermore the annealing helped junction formation due to high quality film and increased the yield rate for the fabrication of high quality step-edge junction.

In this study, the effect of tool rake angles and the change of cutting conditions on specific cutting pressure in face milling is investigated. The cutting force in face milling is predicted from the double cutting edge model in 3-dimensional cutting. Conventional specific cutting pressure model is modified by considering the variation of tool rake angles. Effectiveness of the modified cutting force model is verified by the experiments using special face milling cutters with different cutter pockets and various rake angles. From the comparison of the pressented model and the specific cutting pressure, it is shown that the axial force can be predicted by the tangential and redial forces without the knowledge of friction angle and shear angle. Also, the relation between specific cutting pressure and cutting cindition including feedrate, cutting velocity and depth of cut is studied.

As a result of milling operation, we expect to have burr at the outward edge of workpiece. Also, it causes undesirable problems such as deburring cost, low quality of machined surface, and bottleneck in manufacturing process. Though it is impossible to totally remove burr in machining, it is necessary to plan a machining process that minimizes the occurrence of burr. In this paper, a scheme is proposed which identifies the tool path of the milling operation with minimum burr. In the previous research, a Burr Expert System was developed where the feature identification, the cutting condition identification, and the analysis on exit burr formation are the key steps in the program. The Burr Expert System predicts which portion of workpiece would have the exit burr in advance so that we can calculate the burr length of each milling operation. Here, the critical angle determines whether the burr analyzed is an exit burr or not. So the burr minimization scheme becomes to minimize the burr with critical angle. By iterating all the possible tool paths in certain milling operation, we can identify the tool path with minimum burr.

High speed milling experiment on the hardened mold steel (CALMAX at hardness of HRC 55) is carried out using small diameter ball endmills. Tool lift and wear characteristics under the various machining parameters are investigated Effect of dynamic runout on the wear of the tool is also studied. For most of the cases, catastrophic chipping of tool edge is not observed and uniformly distributed wear on the flank surface of the tool is obtained. It is found that lower rate of tool wear is obtained as the cutting speed is increased. Also, high pick feed rate is found to be more favorable in terms of the tool wear and material removal rate.

In the milling operation, the burr can be generated on the intersection of cutting tool and workpiece. Due to burr formation, we expect lower efficiency in the operation and the cost increase. In order to understand the burr formation mechanism in the milling operation on the arbitrary feature, we developed an algorithm to analyse and predict the exit burr formation mechanism. Firstly, the recognition of arbitrary shaped workpiece was done through the CAD data. This data includes point information on the vertices of the workpiece. Secondly, tile CAM data regarding tool geometry, tool path, cutting speed, and material data are retrieved to simulate the actual cutting process. Thirdly, we predict the exit burr formation on the edge of workpiece based on the geometric analysis. Lastly, an algorithm implemented in the Windows environment to visualize the burr formation simulation. With this information, we can predict which portion of workpiece would have the exit burr in advance so that we call manage to find a way to minimize the edit burr formation in the actual cutting.
