Cutting Tool Related Developments

Sep 2019
Productivity improvement achievable with the XSYTIN-1 phase toughed ceramic insert from Greenleaf Inc., Saegertown, Pa.:   XSYTIN-1 delivered a cycle time of under five minutes milling CGI (compacted graphite iron) versus 20+ plus minutes with a comparable carbide insert. The carbide ran at 500 sfm (152.4 m/min) with a feed rate of 0.006″ (0.15 mm) per tooth and a DOC of 0.0060″ (0.15mm) while XSYTIN ran at 1,900 sfm (580 m/min) with a feed of 0.0085″ (0.22 mm) per tooth and the same DOC.

August 2019

The tools worked at 4500 min-1 speed. This resulted in a cutting speed of between 453 and 1336 m/min. The tooth feeds per revolution are between 0.022 mm and 0.087 mm. The decisive advantage is the reduced processing time of only 7 s compared to 160 s previously when carbide tools were used.

Theory and Practice in Machining Systems
Yoshimi Ito, Takashi Matsumura
Springer, 05-Apr-2017 - Technology & Engineering - 292 pages

This book describes machining technology from a wider perspective by considering it within the machining space. Machining technology is one of the metal removal activities that occur at the machining point within the machining space. The machining space consists of structural configuration entities, e.g., the main spindle, the turret head and attachments such the chuck and mandrel, and also the form-generating movement of the machine tool itself.

The book describes fundamental topics, including the form-generating movement of the machine tool and the important roles of the attachments, before moving on to consider the supply of raw materials into the machining space, and the discharge of swarf from it, and then machining technology itself.

Building on the latest research findings “Theory and Practice in Machining System” discusses current challenges in machining.

Advanced Machining Processes of Metallic Materials: Theory, Modelling, and Applications

Wit Grzesik
Elsevier, 15-Nov-2016 - Technology & Engineering - 608 pages

Advanced Machining Processes of Metallic Materials: Theory, Modelling and Applications, Second Edition, explores the metal cutting processes with regard to theory and industrial practice. Structured into three parts, the first section provides information on the fundamentals of machining, while the second and third parts include an overview of the effects of the theoretical and experimental considerations in high-level machining technology and a summary of production outputs related to part quality.

In particular, topics discussed include: modern tool materials, mechanical, thermal and tribological aspects of machining, computer simulation of various process phenomena, chip control, monitoring of the cutting state, progressive and hybrid machining operations, as well as practical ways for improving machinability and generation and modeling of surface integrity.

This new edition addresses the present state and future development of machining technologies, and includes expanded coverage on machining operations, such as turning, milling, drilling, and broaching, as well as a new chapter on sustainable machining processes. In addition, the book provides a comprehensive description of metal cutting theory and experimental and modeling techniques, along with basic machining processes and their effective use in a wide range of manufacturing applications.

The research covered here has contributed to a more generalized vision of machining technology, including not only traditional manufacturing tasks, but also potential (emerging) new applications, such as micro and nanotechnology.

Includes new case studies illuminate experimental methods and outputs from different sectors of the manufacturing industry
Presents metal cutting processes that would be applicable for various technical, engineering, and scientific levels
Includes an updated knowledge of standards, cutting tool materials and tools, new machining technologies, relevant machinability records, optimization techniques, and surface integrity
