Nowadays, a strategy of the self-optimizing machining process is an imperative approach to improve the product quality and increase productivity of manufacturing systems. This paper presents a concept of self-optimizing forming system that allows the forming system automatically to adjust the forming parameters online for guarantee the product quality and avoiding the machine stop. An intelligent monitoring system that has the functions of observation, evaluation and diagnostic is developed to evaluate the pully quality during forming process. Any abnormal variation of forming machining parameters could be detected and adjusted by an intelligent control system aiming to maintain the machining stability and the desired product quality. This approach is being practiced on the pully forming machine for evaluating the efficiency of the proposed strategy.

The low density, sustained high temperature strength and excellent resistivity to acid materials have made them strong candidate materials for future aerospace or medical applications. Nowadays their usage has already been broaden to everyday's commercial applications such as golf club heads, finger rings and many decorative items, Anticipating the general use of this material and development of the titanium alloys in domestic furnaces, the review and the study of the machining parameters for those alloys are deemed necessary. The present studies are concentrated to the machining parameters of the Ti-6Al-4V alloys due to their dominant position in the production of titanium alloys.

An off-line Geometric Adaptive Control Scheme is applied to the milling machine to identify its guideway errors. In the milling process, the workpiece fixed on the bed travels along the guideway while the tool and spindle system is fixed onto the machine. The scheme is based on the exponential smoothing of post-process measurements of relative machining errors due to the tool, workpiece and bed deflections. The guideway error identification system consists of a gap sensor, a, not necessarily accurate, straightedge, and the numerical control unit. Without a priori knowledge of the variations of the cutting parameters, the time-varying parameters are also estimated by an exponentially weighted recursive least squares method. Experimental results show that the guideway error is well identified within the range of RMS values of geometric error changes between machining passes disregarding the machining conditions.

By development of heat resistant alloy, there are much improvement of gas turbine engines. But heat resistant alloy has difficulty of machining. therefore, ECM (Electrochemical Machining) is used for Machining of 3 dimensional curved surface of Ni-base alloy. The purpose of this paper is to investigate ECM parameters that make tile good surface for Ni-base alloy blade. For this purpose, we have been investigated that center line average surface roughness(R$\sub$a/), average R$\sub$a/, Maximum R$\sub$a/ and Standard deviation of R$\sub$a/ for measuring positions is influenced on ECM parameters such as electrolyte types, dwell time, electrolyte pressure and sort of electrolyte for Inconel 718 and Waspaloy.

Application of ceramic has increased due to excellent mechanical properties, and machining of ceramic has demanded gradually a precision surface machining. For decreasing the surface roughness, the control of IED lapping parameters is very important. This paper deal with the analysis of the process parameters such as applied forces, percentage of h-BN and IED lapping time, developed based on Taguchi method. Also, SEM was used for monitoring of a machinable ceramic surface.

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.

High hardness of P/M parts can be obtained in the cooling section of the sintering furnace by using sinter hardenable materials, thus the post-sintering heat treatment can be eliminated. However, the sinter hardened materials would have difficulties in secondary machining if it is required, which will limit the applications of sinter hardenable materials in the machined parts. Recent development in warm compaction technology can enable us not only to achieve the high green density up to $7.4\;g/cm^3$, but also the high green strength which is needed for green machining. Therefore by using warm compaction technology, the green machining can be applied to sinter hardenable materials for the high density, strength and hardness P/M parts. In the present study, a pre-alloyed steel powder, ATOMET4601, was used by mixing with 2.0% copper, 1.0% nickel, 0.9% graphite and a proprietary lubricant using a binder treatment process - FLOMET. The specimens were compacted and green machined with different machining parameters. The machined surface finish and part integrity were evaluated in selecting the optimal conditions for green machining. The possibility of applying the green machining to the high-density structural parts was explored.

In laser machining such as drilling with $CO_2$ or Nd:YAG laser, and etching or ablation with Excimer laser, one of the most important parameters affecting the machining is known to be beam characteristics. In this paper a numerical study is performed to investigate the effects of beam parameters, especially in the process of excimer laser ablation of polymers. Results of different beam conditions reveal that if the ablated depth is small compared to beam size the simple photochemical etching model is suitable to predict the etched shape, and that the importance of precise alignment becomes large as beam quality factor becomes larger.

The powder blasting process has become an important machining technique for the cost effective fabrication of micro devices. This process is similar to sand blasting, and effectively removes hard and brittle materials. A large number of investigations on the abrasive jet machining with such output parameters as material removal rate, penetration and surface roughness have been carried out and reported by various authors. To achieve higher surface roughness, to increase material removal rate and to identify the influence of blasting parameters on the output parameters, we use the taguchi method which is one of the design methods of experiments. We can select process parameters to optimize the blasting process of glass. Experimental results indicate that the taguchi method is useful as a robust design methodology for the powder blasting process.
