Dalgıç, Aras; Mahmat, Aybars
Hardox steel is widely used in agriculture, mining and transportation due to its mechanical properties such as high wear resistance, high impact resistance, high hardness, high durability and long life. The machinability of Hardox 500 is difficult as its high hardness and wear resistance lead to tool wear and low machining speed. Recently, various processing and cooling methods have been developed to increase machinability. Ultrasonic assisted milling (UAM), one of these methods, is a method used as an alternative to conventional milling (CM) in the milling of traditionally difficult-to-machine materials. In addition, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a cooling method used to provide lubrication and cooling in the cutting area. In this study, the impacts of machining method, feed rate and spindle speed on cutting force, surface roughness and tool wear in milling of Hardox 500 steel were investigated. In the MQL method, mixtures with nano-sized SiC particles were obtained and applied to the cutting area. In the study, MQL reduced cutting forces by up to 19 %, surface roughness by 18 %, and tool wear by 30 % compared to dry machining, while UAM further decreased cutting forces by 17 %, surface roughness by 15 %, and tool wear by 12 % compared to CM. These results demonstrate that MQL and UAM significantly enhance machining performance over conventional and dry methods.

This study focused on determining the effects of the cooling condition in the conventional and ultrasonic-assisted turning of AISI 52100 steel. AISI 52100 steel has been widely used in the bearing, mold, and automotive industries because of its superior wear resistance and mechanical properties. However, its high wear resistance caused poor machinability in conventional machining methods. Low surface quality, rapid tool wear, high cutting temperature, and high cutting force are the main difficulties in the conventional machining of AISI 52100 steel. On the other hand, ultrasonic-assisted machining has become widely used in the past decades for the machining of materials that have low machinability in conventional methods. Conventional turning and ultrasonic-assisted turning were selected as machining methods. Ultrasonic-assisted turning experiments were conducted under 20 and 30 kHz vibration frequencies. Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) cutting tools were used in machining experiments. In machining operations 50, 100, and 150 m/min cutting speeds were selected, and feed rate (0.1 mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.5 mm) were kept constant in experiments. Minimum quantity lubrication technique which used 1% Al2O3 nanoparticle additives cutting fluid and dry cooling methods were used. CBN insert was used as a cutting tool. The effects of cutting speed, cutting method, and cooling condition on surface quality, cutting force, cutting zone temperature, and cutting tool wear were studied experimentally. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was carried out to determine the significance of the effects of input variables on process outputs. As a result of this study, it is determined that combined UAT and nanoMQL have significant effects on the process outputs.

High cutting force and high cutting tool-chip interface temperature occur during machining of high strength materials like AISI 52100 by using conventional turning method and this makes to the difficult machining operation. Besides, in conventional turning (CT) of these materials, which has high abrasion resistance and hardness properties, an additional process such as grinding is required to achieve the desired surface quality. Ultrasonic assisted turning (UAT) method has been widely used in the machining industry in recent years, as it exhibits better surface quality, lower cutting forces, and cutting temperature than the CT method. This paper focused on experimentally and statistically determining the effects of different cutting parameters and cooling conditions (dry and minimum quantity lubrication-MQL) on surface roughness, workpiece surface texture, tangential direction cutting force, and cutting tool-workpiece interface temperature in the machining of AISI 52100 material by using UAT and CT methods. The experimental results revealed that significant improvements determined in the cutting forces and the surface roughness occurred in UAT compared to CT in all the cooling conditions. However, the increasing cutting speeds caused to observe higher interface temperature values in dry turning by the UAT method. Variance Analysis (ANOVA) was carried out to determine the significance grade of independent variables on dependent variables. According to ANOVA results, while the cutting speed is the most important factor on the surface roughness and the cutting zone temperature, and the cooling method is the most important factor on the cutting force. The effects of turning methods on corresponding surface topography, including surface defects, were evaluated. It is determined that in the surface topography analysis, feed marks are the main texture of the workpiece in the CT method while micro-level indentations and protrusions occurred on the workpiece surface in the UAT method.
