The application of titanium has been gradually rising because the utilizing ranges for low weight and high strength are rapidly increased by the need for improving the fuel economy in production industries such as the aviation and automotive in recent. The purpose in this study is to investigate the appropriate cutting conditions on the life of flat and round end mills by measuring the maximum cutting temperature relative to the machining time, and calculating the wear rates of cutting tool with the spindle speed and feed rate of vertical machining center as a parameter in the titanium roughing cut machining which is widely used in critical parts of aircraft, cars, etc. When the wetted roughing cut machining of titanium with a soluble cutting oil is conducted by the flat and round end mills, the maximum cutting temperatures for a variety of spindle speed and feed rate are measured at ten-minute intervals during 60 minutes by an infrared thermometer, and the wear rates of cutting tool are calculated by the weight ratios based on tool wear before and after the experiment. It is found that the maximum cutting temperature and the wear rates of cutting tool are raised as the cutting amount per tool edge is increased with the rise of feed rate, in this experimental range, and as the frictional area due to the rise of contacting friction numbers between tool and specimen is increased with the rises of cutting time and spindle speed. In addition, the increasing rate of maximum cutting temperature in the flat and round end mills are the highest for the cutting time from 50 to 60 minutes, and the wear rate of cutting tool in the flat end mill is 1.14 to 1.55 times higher than that in the round end mill for all experimental conditions.

In this study, a diamond turning machine and a laser-assisted machining module were utilized for the complex combined cutting of aspheric shapes and fine patterns on the surface of high-hardness brittle material, silicon. The analysis of material's form accuracy and corrective machining was conducted based on key factors such as laser output, rotational speed, feed rate, and cutting depth to achieve form accuracy below 1 ㎛ and surface roughness below 0.1 ㎛. The cutting condition and corrective machining methods were investigated to achieve the desired form accuracy and surface roughness. The rotational speed of the spindle and the linear feed rate of the diamond turning machine were varied in five stages for the cutting condition test. Surface roughness and form accuracy were measured using both a contact surface profilometer and a non-contact surface profilometer. The experimental results revealed a tendency of improved surface roughness with increased rotational speed of the workpiece, and the best surface roughness and form accuracy were observed at a feed rate of 5 mm/min. Furthermore, based on the cutting condition experiments, corrective machining was performed. The experimental results demonstrated an improvement in form accuracy from 0.94 ㎛ to 0.31 ㎛ and a significant reduction in the average value of the surface roughness curve from 0.234 ㎛ to 0.061 ㎛. This research serves as a foundation for future studies focusing on the machinability in relation to laser output parameters.

In tool condition monitoring systems, parameters should be set to a certain threshold. In many cases, however, the threshold is dependent on cutting conditions, especially the radial immersion ratio. In this presented is a method of on-line estimation of the radial immersion ratio in face milling. When a tooth finishes sweeping, a sudden drop of cutting force occurs. The force drop is equal to the cutting force that acting on a tooth at the swept angle of cut and can be acquired from cutting force signals in feed and cross-feed directions. Average cutting force per tooth period can also be calculated from cutting force signals in two directions. The ratio to cutting forces in two directions acting on a tooth at a certain swept angle of cut and the ratio of average cutting forces in two directions per tooth period are functions of the swept angle of cut and the ratio of radial to tangential cutting forces. Using these parameters, the radial immersion ratio is estimated. Various experiments are performed to verify the proposed method. The results show that the radial immersion ratio can be estimated by this method regardless of other cutting conditions.

This paper deals with the machinability based on turning and drilling tests. The main conclusions obtained were as follows. (1) Turning : The roughness of Machined surface decreases with the increase of the rake angle of tools, and the tool wear becomes smaller with the decrease of the rake angle. When the feed rate becomes larger, the fracture of work material in the vicinity of the cutting edge occurs on a larger scale, eventually decreasing tool wear. (2) Drilling : Considering both tool life and productivity, it is reasonable to cut with the high cutting speed and feed rate. The tool wear increases with the increase of feed rate, and the tendency of feed rate on tool wear becomes stronger at the cutting speed $\geq$30m/min.

High-speed machining is one of the most effective technologies to improve productivity. Because of the high speed and high feedrate, high-speed machining can give great advantages for the machining of dies and molds. In this paper, high-speed machining for HP-4 die material was carried out with a coated tungsten carbide ball endmill. In the high-speed machining, the cutting force and surface roughness of workpiece show various characteristics in different cutting conditions. Especially, the surface roughness of the workpiece depends largely on pick feed and feed-per-revolution of the ball endmill. In the condition where pick feed and feed-per-revolution are equal, better surface roughness is measured. By obtaining good surface roughness at high speed, efficiency of machining can be increased.

The pure Ti is taken annealing process for one hour at 90$0^{\circ}C$. The pure Ti is sufficient for ASTM B348 Grade2. The rolling mill roll the Ti-8Ta-3Nb(wt%) which became vacuum melting in arc furnace until the length is about 45mm and the thickness is about 6.05mm. Then it is made 6mm$\times$6mm$\times$44mm by wire cutting with EDM and it is made ∮ 6mm by rough cutting with the general purpose lathe. The machining accuracy of implant parts in the dental and medical science are decided by dimension, shpe, straightness, surface roughness. It is difficult to cut for the Ti alloy. It is caused problems of straight degree and surface roughness to the Ti alloy have many cases which length is smaller than diameter in cutting. Total 24 specimens different kind of 4 alloies are used in experiment to gain a cutting property. According to the cutting velocity, cutting depth, cutting temperature, feed and clearance angle experiments are performed. Conclusively it is expected that cutting depth of 0.5mm, feed velocity of 0.07mm/rev and cutting velocity of 80m/min could make a suitable result.

Ball end mills used for high-speed and high-precision machining require longer machining time than flat end mills or face cutters, since the tool diameter is limited and the rigidity is reduced by the characteristics of the tool's cutting edge: at the top end of the tool, the cutting speed approaches zero and hardly removes any material. Because there is little material removal at the top end of the ball end mill, the outer cutting edge performs the majority of the work; this irregular cutting force deforms the tool and shortens its life. In this study, we attached an eddy-current sensor to a tool to measure the deformation from the cutting force and we used a tool dynamometer to measure the cutting force. We found that the change in cutting force is dependent on the change in feed rate during square-shaped processing and, as the feed rate is accelerated, the cutting force also increases. Higher cutting forces increase tool deformation.
