    In this research, liquid Argon is used as a cryogenic media to optimize the cutting parameters for evaluation of tool flank wear width of Tungsten Carbide Insert (CNMG 120404-WF 4215) while turning high strength alloy steel. Robust design concept of Taguchi L9 (34) method is applied to determine the optimum conditions. This analysis revealed is revealed that cryogenic impact is more significant in reduction of the tool flank wear.

    Specific cutting energy analysis of turning Ti -6Al-4V under dry, wet and cryogenic conditions

    Energy consumption of a manufacturing system represents its sustainability and efficiency. Sustainable manufacturing processes increase the productivity by improving the input to output ratio. Machining of hard to cut alloys demands higher energy input to overcome their high strength. The energy requirement also elevates with increasing speed which becomes the limiting factor. In the present study the specific cutting energy analysis of aerospace alloy Ti -6Al-4V was carried out at different cutting speeds. Different machining environment s including wet and cryogenic media were employed in addition to dry cutting for comprehensive analysis. It was found that cryogenic conditions reduced 8% and 11 % SCE in comparison with dry and wet conditions respectively. Analysis of variance highlighted contribution ratio of cutting speed and cutting condition as 51.87% and 46.98 %, respectively.

    Statistical analysis of the effect of machining parameters on fatigue life of aerospace grade aluminum alloy (AL 6082T6)
    (Cranfield University Press, 2013-09-19) Jamshaid, Muhammad; Jaffery, Husain; Ali, Liaqat; Khan, Mushtaq; Alam, Khurshid; Ahmed, Riaz; Rehman, Masood
    In this research work, aerospace grade aluminium alloy (Al 6082-T6) was analysed for the effect of cutting parameters on the fatigue life of the machined samples and optimization of cutting parameters for response factor. Different combinations of machining parameters were selected according to the ISO 3685 for sample preparation. Fatigue life of the samples was the response variable under investigation. Specimens for the rotating bending fatigue test were prepared according to the BS ISO 1143:2010 standards. The cutting inserts were selected from Sandvik Coromant catalogue recommended for machining of Al 6082-T6 alloy. A Designed of Experiment (DoE) with full factorial design was employed and a total of 81 experiments were performed for combination of cutting parameters. Fatigue life of the samples was observed to decreases with increasing feed rate, which is attributed to the compressive residual stresses at the surface of the samples. However, fatigue life increased with higher cutting speed and Depth of Cut (DoC).
