Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The surface integrity with machining and milling has long been recognized as having a significant impact on product performance, longevity and reliability. The surface integrity covers various areas, such as surface roughness, surface topography, nano- or microstructure alterations, and residual stresses. In addition, it causes microstructural, mechanical and chemical effects. Therefore, recent advances in surface integrity will be able to be effectively utilized and optimized in manufacturing processes. This topic is important to study for the improvement of the efficiency of machines.

This study is focused on analysing residual stresses (RSs) after turning high-tempered bearing steel through the use of the X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Phase transformations expressed in terms of the near-surface white layer (WL) and the corresponding microhardness profiles are correlated with the RSs as well as the depth of the RS profiles. Normal and shear components of RS and FWHM (full width at half maximum) of the diffraction peaks are analysed as a function of cutting insert flank wear as well as the cutting speed. It was found that the influence of tool wear prevails over cutting speed, RSs tend to shift into the compressive region with increasing tool flank wear, and the valuable shear components of RSs can be found in the near-surface region when the cutting inserts of lower flank wear are employed. The increasing flank wear also increases the depth in which the compressive RSs can be found. Furthermore, surface RSs are affected by the phase transformation process (formation of re-hardened WL) as well as the superimposing mechanical and thermal load. Full article

The slot milling cutter is primarily used for machining the tongue and groove of the steam turbine rotor, which is a critical operation in the manufacturing process of the steam turbine rotor. It is challenging to predict the milling force of a groove milling cutter due to variations in rake, rake angles and cutting speeds of the main cutting edge. Firstly, based on a limited amount of experimental data on turning, we have developed an equivalent turning force model that takes into account the impact of the rounded cutting edge radius, the tool’s tip radius and the feed rate on tool’s geometric angle. It provides a more accurate frontal angle for the identification method of the Johnson–Cook material constitutive equation. Secondly, the physical parameters, such as shear stress, shear strain and strain rate on the main shear plane, are calculated through the analysis of experimental data and application of the orthogonal cutting theory. Thirdly, the range of initial constitutive parameters of the material was determined through the split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test. The objective function was defined as the minimum error between the theoretical and experimental values. The optimal values of the Johnson–Cook constitutive equation parameters A, B, C, n and m are obtained through a global search using a genetic algorithm. Finally, the shear stress is determined by the governing equations of deformation, temperature and material. The axial force, torque and bending moment of each micro-segment are calculated and summed using the unit cutting force vector of each micro-segment. As a result, a milling force prediction model for slot milling cutters is established, and its validity is verified through experiments. Full article
