Metal Matrix Composite(MMC) material of 30% SiC particulate based on A1 matrix was machined by drilling and Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) processes. When drilling process was executed, surface fracture due to brittle property near the bottom was found. It was also found the possiblity of difficult shape of EDM process for MMC material, but few the research about basic EDM characteristics. Material Removal Rate(MRR) was examined for different conditions and the surface morphology was evaluated by roughness values and Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) research. The higher the current is, the more MRR was obtained but the higher MRR was showed around 0.45 duty factor. The average roughness of EDMed surface was slightly changed with increased pulse current and increases with duty factor. The SEM photographs of EDMed surface showed recast region after melting.

This paper presents rough cutting pat고 drilling. This method has differences from conventional method which uses boundary curve by intersecting object to machine and each cutting plane. Die-cavity shape is drilled in z-map, we select various tool and remove much material in the short time. as a result, this method raise productivity. The major challenges in die-cavity pocketing include : 1)finding an inscribed circle for removing material of unmachined regions, 2) selecting optimal tool and efficiently arranging tool, 3) generating offset surface of shape, 4) determining machined width according to the selected tool, 5) detecting and removing unmachined regions, and 6) linking PJE(path-joining element). Conventional machining method calling contour-map is compared with drilling method using Z-map, for finding efficiency in the view of productivity.

Since the aircraft parts industry is a high-value-added industry, mass production order production, and the hundreds of thousands. Therefore, parts produced However, since these parts require high reliability and stability, a high degree of precision is required. In Korea, there on the roughness of the machined surface in cutting process. However, research on the surface roughness characteristic obtained by which is widely used for aircraft parts is still insufficient in Korea. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of turning tool rotation speed and X axis feed rate on the surface roughness of cutting tools in CNC lathes during cutting of aluminum alloy 7075.

This paper has been considered on the cutting characteristics such as chip formation and surface roughness for Inconel 690 alloy with difficult-to-cut because of high toughness and strength. We have made efforts solving the problem to difficult-to-cut of Inconel by improvement of tool with TiN coating and the selection of optimum cutting condition. We used the CCD camera and the surface roughness tester to observe the chip formation and the state of machined surface by using the improved tool with diamond coating and various cutting condions. We have found that the chip formation showed the tooth shape of tooth blade and the surface roughness was very poor. but it can be better by selection of optimum cutting condition.

The side mirrors play an important role in driver's safety and convenience. People drive safely based on the side mirrors and room mirror through observation of environment. However, the drivers can not completely confront environments because of the dead angle of the side mirrors. In this research, based on geometric optics and geometric modeling, aspheric surfaces of the side mirror mold with dead angle free has been designed and machined in CNC machining center, Surface roughness of the mold was evaluated by using surface shaping system. The analysis on the shape of formed mirrors shows the mirrors have been reduced the dead angle comparing with the original mold.

Titanium alloys have lightness, high strength and good corrosion resistant characteristics, and broadly used in manufacturing parts for military and aerospace industries. And these alloys also are recognized for organism materials comparatively and used as fixing ones in the human body. Nevertheless thess alloys have excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and good tensile strength, it is difficult to machine by traditional methods because of high hardness and chemically activated property. So higher tool wear is expected when cutting by tools. Therefore, it is required nontraditional machining process. And the mechanical characteristics such as surface structure and shape, hardness and bending strength are studied for wire electrical discharge machined and surface ground titanium alloys for various heat-treated conditions.

Most of shape defects in steel strip are originated from the structure of rolling mill itself. For instance, strip crown occurs when the work roll is deformed by the bending moment induced on roll chocks. To get rids of the shape defects, it is necessary to increase the stiffness of rolling mill. The structure change of back-up roll is one of alternative ways to increase the mill stiffness without facility revamping from 4 high mill to 6 high mill. In this research work, the new back-up roll was developed and can be used in any type of 4 high mill to reduce the strip shape defects. The developed back-up roll consists of sleeve, arbor and phase angle adjusting system for arbor. The circumference of arbor is specially machined to adapt the strip width change during rolling. The experimental cold rolling test was done to prove the effectiveness of newly developed back-up roll. The experimental rolling results show that the new back-up roll has more powerful performance in reducing the shape defects than conventional back-up roll. It was also found that the new back-up roll has higher stability for shape control. In addition to, the only sleeve surface needs to be reground and changed in most cases, so that the maintenance cost can be greatly reduced.

This is a study of fatigue strength of weld deposits with transverse cracks in plate up to 50 mm thick. It is concerned with the fatigue properties of welds already with transverse cracks. A previous study of transverse crack occurrence, location and microstructure in accordance with welding conditions was published in the Welding Journal (Lee et al., 1998). A fatigue crack develops as a result of stress concentration and extends with each load cycle until fatigue occurs, or until the cyclic loads are transferred to redundant members. The fatigue performance of a member is more dependent on the localized state of stress than the static strength of the base metal or the weld metal. Fatigue specimens were machined to have transverse cracks located on the surface and inside the specimen. Evaluation of fatigue strength depending on location of transverse cracks was then performed. When transverse cracks were propagated in a quarter-or half-circle shape, the specimen broke at low cycle in the presence of a surface crack. However, when the crack was inside the specimen, it propagated in a circular or elliptical shape and the specimen showed high fatigue strength, enough to reach the fatigue limit within tolerance of design stresses.

The formation of micro-burrs in micro-milling processes causes several problems related to productivity and surface integrity. It should be minimized and suppressed by effective monitoring of the cutting conditions. This paper presents the correlation between the micro-burr length and cutting signals in the micro-milling process of an Al alloy (Al6061-T6). The acoustic emission (AE) signals and cutting force signals are acquired during the experiments. The characteristics of the cutting signals are obtained by analyzing the AE root mean square value and resultant cutting force. In addition, the micro-burr length is measured according to the cutting conditions by analyzing a scanning electron microscopy image of the machined surface. The results of this study can be used to enhance the surface quality of micro parts.

The methodology of automatic generation of tool path for rough cutting of a sculptured surface is proposed with the improved contouring method, unequal level line machining. Considering the surface shape and the diameter of the endmill, the distance between level lines is obtained. To improve MMR, initial rough cutting is processed with the large diameter endmill and the remained material is removed by the relatively small diameter endmill. Tool path is generated from the offset curve of respective level line and the interferences between the tool and workpiece are automatically avoided. After generating NC part program, the sculptured surface is machined at the vertical machining center. From the experimental results, total cutting length and machining time are reduced more effectively than conventional contouring methods.
