This study describes the geometric characteristic and the 5-axis machining method of end mill body with insert tip. The geometry of end mill body is consisted of the flute part and the insert tip part. Thus, this study defines the flute part as ruled surface with constant helix angle and the insert tip part as rectangular plane on general direction. The geometric algorithm and the 5-axis NC part program were calculated by our programmed software and a sampled end mill body was machined on 5-axis machining center equipped with two index tables. The machined end mill body with insert tip was very agreeable to the designed end mill body with insert tip. Thus, the method proposed in this study may be very useful for the machining of end mill body with insert tip.

This study describes the geometric characteristics and the 5-axis machining method in order to make end mill cutter coming with insert tips. End mill geometry is consisted of flute part and insert tip part. Flute part modeled by using ruled surfaces with constant helix angle, and insert tip part modeled by rectangular planes containing tapped hole of specified direction in its center. In this study, the modeled insert tip part considered both of a radial rake angle and a axial rake angle, because they were important cutting conditions. In order to machining the virtual end mill defined from geometric characteristics, we programmed a special software to machining the end mill considered in this study. This software can generate NC-codes about following processes, end milling or ball end milling of flute part end milling of rectangular plane, centering of hole, drilling of hole, and tapping of hole. Ant sampled end mills were modeled and machined on 5-axis CNC machining center with two index tables. Since machined end mills were very agreeable to designed end mills, we saw that the method proposed in this study can be very useful for manufacturing of end mill body with insert tip.

TiAIN was deposited onto ISO P2O Cutting Insert Tip substrate by FVAS at the substrate temperature of 80$^{\circ}C$. Cutting and wear test have been performed with TiAIN coated and uncoated WC cutting tools, respectively. Uncoated WC cutting tool has been tested under similar cutting condition for comparison. Cutting force and tool wear of coated and uncoated carbide cutting tools were investigated by cutting length. In cutting test, cutting force of the coated insert tip was larger than the uncoated insert tip by tool wear. Configuration and wear of the coated tool were more stable and resistant than the uncoated. In tool life by the tool wear, the coated cutting tool life was rather longer than the uncoated when tested at high speed (V=250 m/min) than low speed (V=200 m/min), Cutting force, tool wear and life were analysised by tool dynamometer amp(3ch) and oscilloscope.

Drilling is a crucial process that takes up a significant amount of weight during machining operations. In addition, drill tip-type tools and related operations have been developed for manufacturing industries to achieve economic efficiency. In this study, SM45C carbon steel, widely used for machine structures, was utilized as the working material after quenching and tempering. Insert-tip types of carbide tools, such as TiN and TiAlN, were used as tool materials. Drilling conditions such as the spindle revolution, feed rate, step of cut, and tool diameter were used to measure roughness, roundness, and straightness using the orthogonal array table statistical method. The surface roughness, roundness, and straightness characteristics based on the conditions were analyzed using ANOVA. The results showed that the spindle speed and feed rate were the main factors influencing carbide insert-tip drilling under the same conditions as the experimental conditions.

This study carried out a cutting experiment on Duralumin A16061-76, which is light but strong and highly anticorrosive, so recently popular as a lightweight material, by changing cutting conditions and alternating 4 insert tips, and examined the effect of each insert tip on cutting force at certain cutting conditions, the measurements of the coarseness of processed surfaces roughness, and the chip workability. The 1311owing conclusions were drawn from the results. Cutting force for cutting tool is when insert tips were alternated at each cutting condition, the cutting force of cutting tools was highest then CBN tools were use(1 next by Ceramic tools, Cermet tools, and WC tools. Therefore, WC tools are considered most suitable for cutting Duralumin A16061-T6. Surface roughness as for the coarseness of surfaces according to insert tips applied to Duralumin A16061-T6 under the cutting condition of depth of cut below 1mm, feed rate below 0.24mm/rev and cutting speed over 100m/min the coarseness of material surface roghness appeared to be finest when WC tools were used, next by Ceramic tools, Cermet tools, and CBN tools.

In modern industry the requirement of automation of manufacturing process increases so that unmanned system has been popular as an ultimate goal of modern manufacturing process. In unmanned manufacturing process the tool fracture is a very serious problem because it results in the damage of workpieces and can stop the operation of whole manufa- turing system. In this study, image processing technique is used to detect the fracture of insert tip of face milling using multi-point-tool. In order to acquire the image information of fracture shape of rotation insert tip. We set up the optical system using a light beam chopper. In this system we can reduce the image degradation generated from stopped image of rotating insert tip using image restoration technique. We calculated the mean square error to diagnose the condition of tool fracture, and determind the criteria of tool fracture using experimental and staticstical method. From the results of this study we've developed non- contact detection technique of tool fracture using image processing method and proposed the fracture direction of automation and unmanned system considering the optimal time of tool change milling.

Diamond-like-carbon (DLC) coatings could be good candidates as solid lubricants for cutting tools in dry machining of aluminum alloy. In this work, DLC thin films were produced as a friction reduction coating for WC-Co insert tip using the plasma immersion ion beam deposition (PIIED) technique. DLC coatings were also coated on $Al_2O_3$ specimens and high temperature wear tested up to $400^{\circ}C$ in dry air to observe the survivability of the DLC coating in simulated severe cutting conditions using a pin-on-disc tribotester with Hertzian contact stress of 1.3GPa. It showed reduced friction coefficients of minimum 0.02 up to $400^{\circ}C$. And cutting performance of DLC coated WC-Co insert tips to Al 6061 alloy were conducted in a high speed machining center. The main problems of built-up edge formation in aluminum machining are drastically reduced with improved surface roughness. The improvements were mainly related to the low friction coefficient of DLC to Al alloy and the anti-adhesion of Al alloy to WE due to the inertness of DLC.

As the machine tool industry progresses, the performance of cutting tools also needs to be of good quality and specialized. If the existing metal cutting tool tip is coated properly, its life would be longer and the machining of a difficult-to-cut material also could be possible. For the development of the high quality cutting tool, the applicabilities of TiAIN coating deposited by PVD on the cutting insert were experimentally investigated. The various measurements, such as, SEM micrograph, XRD pattern, AFM surface morphology, and hardness were performed to cross-check the possibility and availability of TiAIN coated tool in the field. The effects of it is successful and we hope to see good results in many fields.

The purpose of this study is to develop special tools used to extend the tool life for the boom of heavy equipment. The boom of heavy equipment is manufactured by cutting the inner and outer surface with respect to the assembly site essential. In particular, when cutting the inner surface, entry of the tool is difficult owing to the limited size of the inner diameter and non circular cutting. In addition, the productivity is poor because the use of the cutting tool made of the SKH material. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a special tool for machining heavy equipment boom to extend tool life and to improve productivity. The special tool developed this study has the form of a holder and tip. The tip was created by applying a commercially available tungsten carbide insert.
