Abstract: Tool condition monitoring is difficult in micro-milling due to irregular wear and chipping of the cutting edges, which lead to unexpected tool breakage. This study demonstrates the use of force data to reliably predict ...

Abstract: Micro-EDM (electro discharge machining) is a derived form of EDM process especially evolved for micro-machining. The use of resistance capacitance pulse generator, an advanced controller for ...

Abstract: This paper aims to explain the size-effect in the Primary Deformation Zone (PDZ) in machining using strain gradient plasticity theory. Considering a parallel-sided shear zone configuration, models ...

Abstract: Segmented chips are known to form in machining of titanium alloys due to localization of heat in the shear zone, which is a function of machining environment. To investigate the correlation between machining environments ...

Abstract: Microelectrochemical grinding (micro-ECG) is a variant of electrochemical grinding (ECG) process, in which material is removed by a combination of electrolytic dissolution and abrasive action that ...

Abstract: Surface roughness is one of the important quality characteristic of a micromachined component. This paper presents a model to predict surface roughness of micro-EDmachined surfaces. The model is ...

Abstract: Most often contoured surfaces inclined at several inclinations are generated using ballend milling of aerospace and automobile components. It is understood that the chip morphology and the corresponding cutting mechanisms ...

Abstract: Electrochemical grinding (ECG) at macrolevel and microlevel finds increasing use in medical device manufacturing industry. To enhance application of microECG, a comprehensive study of the role electrolyte flow in the ...

Abstract: In micromilling, understanding transitions between the desired shearingdominant to the undesired plowingdominant cutting mechanism could help obtain high quality microfeatures. This work investigates the transitions in ...

Abstract: Among all the materials, diamond turning of heterogeneous materials like copper beryllium (CuBe) poses serious machining challenges as the heterogeneity in the workpiece affects the quality of generated surface. Therefore, ...
