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.

Ultraprecision machining technology has been playing a rapidly increasing and important role in manufacturing. However, the physics of the micromachining process at very small depth of cut, which is typically 1 .mu. m or less is not well understool. Shear along the shear plane and friction at the rake face dominate in conventional machining range. But sliding along the flank face of the tool due to the elastic recovery of the workpiece material and the effects of plowing due to the large effective negative rake angle resultant from the tool edge radius may become important in micromachining range. This paper suggests an orthogonal cutting model considering the cutting edge radius and then quantifies the effect of plowing due to the large effective negative rake angle.

Based on the cutting force model, three-dimensional optimal design model was developed and optimal designed tool which is minimized cutting force is developed by computer simulation technique. In this model the objective function which is minimized resultant cutting force was used and the variables are radial rake angle, axial rake angle, lead angle of the tool. The cutting forces using conventional and optimal tools by simulation, are compared and analyzed in time and frequency domains. In time domain the cutting force of optimal tool in feed direction was more reduced and less fluctuated than that of conventional tool. Cutting forces of optimal tool in X-and Z-directions are shown a little increased than those of conventional tool. In frequency domain amplitude of insert frequency components of optimal tool in feed direction was more reduced than that of convent- ional tool. The amplitudes of insert frequency components of optimal tool in X-and Z-direction are a little increased than those of conventional tool. As the reduction of amplitude and fluctuations of the cutting force, Optimal tool is considered that tool life and surface roughness would be improved, and stable cutting would be expected.

In Turning It is good selection of cutting condition and cutting tools that influence upon the accuracy of dimension manufacturing efficiency and extension of tool life. Among them especially the identification of cutting force due to the change of cutting conditions which exerts a great influence on the turning is very important. In this study the cutting resistance due to the change of cutting conditions was caculated by using the energy method and good agreement in shown between theoritical and experimental results which were tested for the cutting resistance at the cemented carbide cutting tools with workpieces of SM20C and SM 45C.

In the last few years, lasers have found new applications as tools for ceramic machining which is laser-assisted machining(LAM). LAM process for the machining of difficult-to-machine materials such as structural ceramics, has recently been studied on silicon nitride workpiece for a wide range of operating condition. However, there have been few studies on rake angle in LAM process. In this paper we analyzed difference of machinability between positive and negative rake angle in tools. We have obtained interesting results that we could eliminate chattering, lower specific cutting and cutting ratio in case of positive rake angle. The results suggest that positive rake angled tools can make more plastic deformation and stable cutting of silicon nitride in comparison with negative rake angled one.

Machining pressed compacts of ceramic and WC-Co materials can be the most cost effective way of forming the bodies prior to sintering when the required number of pieces is small. In this study, in order to clarify the machinability for turning, the $Si_3N_4$ and the WC-Co green compacts unsintered were machined under different cutting conditions with various tools. Absorbing chips by vacuum hose decreases tool wear. The tool wear becomes larger in the order of the ceramic, CBN and cemented carbide tools in machining the $Si_3N_4$ green compacts. In machining the WC-Co green compacts, the tool wear becomes larger in the order of the ceramic, cemented carbide and CBN tools. The land of cutting edge does not affect tool wear. When machining with cemented carbide tool, the tool wear i equal cutting length is nearly identical in spite of the increase of cutting spee, and the roughness of machined surface was the best in the cutting speed of 90 m/min. The tool wear decreases with the increase of rake angle and relief angle and with the decrease of nose radius. The machined surfaces become worse with the increase of feed rate and depth of cut, and with the decrease of rake angle and relief angle. The tool wear is not affected by the feed and depth of cut.

Through the careful interpretation of the results of the cutting tests carried out in this study, it is found that under the cutting conditions when the internal shear of the chips take place the cutting can be treated essentially as a steady state problem. A new shear angle equation has been developed employing the conditions of force and moment equilibrium about the tool edge and the stress distribution model suggested by Zorev.The equation contains the chip-tool contact length C and stress distribution index n as important parameters.

The drilling experiment of carbon fiber epoxy composite material with WC-drill has been done under the various cutting condition in order to minimize the problems occured in the material when being drilled. It has been comfirmed by a frequencyanalysis of the cutting force signals that the variation of cutting force resulted from the periodic variation of the angle between the rotating drill and the stacking angle of the carbon fiber. The drilling experiment has been done with several drills having different point angles and the drilling characteristics, like the effects such that change in the point angle influences the cutting force and the external surface condition, was evaluated.

The factors which can improve tool life in machining are consisted of tool geometries, tool materials, coating methods. cutting environments, cutting conditions and so on. Cutting speed in cutting conditions is one of the important factors which can directly influence on the tool life. This paper deals the machinability which is concerned about the cutting direction and the tilt angle of fret form surface in hot die steel(STD I I). The NC datum were analysrd and the effective tool diameters were calculated according to the change of tilt angle the program which can continue the cutting speed with the change of spindle revolution is developed.

Chip flow angle is one of the important factors to be determined for the scheme of Chip Control. Up to now, however, a dependable way to predict the chip flow angle in practical cutting has not been established satisfactorily. In this paper a rather simple theoretical prediction of chip flow angle is tried based on some already widely confirmed hypotheses. The developed equation of chip flow angle contains the parameters of depth of cut d, feed rate f, nose radius $r_{n}$ side cutting edge angle $C_{s}$, side rake angle .alpha.$_{s}$ and back rake angle .alpha.$_{b}$. Theoretical results of chip flow angle given by this study bas been shown in a good agreement with experimental ones.s.s.s.s.
