Mechanical manufacturing processes

1.1. Definition:
Set of techniques aimed at obtaining a part or an object by transformation of
raw material. Obtaining the desired piece sometimes requires the successive use of different
manufacturing processes. These manufacturing processes are part of mechanical construction.
Assembly techniques are not part of manufacturing processes; they are involved.
once the different parts have been manufactured.

1.2 Types of mechanical manufacturing processes


1.2.1 THE SHOOTING:
Filming, as its name indicates, concerns a rotating movement. The technique of
Turning therefore consists of rotating the workpiece around a defined axis. This axis is the one
from the spindle of the lathe. The workpiece is fixed to this spindle, the gripping means can
to be a chuck or any other clamping principle. The machine used is called a 'lathe'.

The purpose of the filming is to create revolution shapes such as cylinders, cones, toroids and
other forms of complex revolution.

Turning is a somewhat discipline in the field of machining because it is the only one
for which we have both:

A movable piece

A unique tooth tool

A continuous cut (the material runs continuously on the cutting face of the tool)

These specificities make it a little more difficult than the others when one is interested in
the lifespan of tools.

The principle of turning is as follows: the workpiece is attached to a rotating spindle (so it
(turns) and the tool moves in a plane. The trajectory of the tool in its plane of evolution provides
the generator of the revolution piece.

1.2.2 MILLING :

Milling is a process ofmachiningby material removal. It is characterized by the use of


a machine tool: the milling machine. The tool traditionally used is the mill.

In milling, the removal of material - in the form of chips - results from the combination of two
movements: rotation of the cutting tool on one hand, and advance of the workpiece on the other hand.

The milling machine is particularly suitable for machining prismatic parts and also allows for,
to create all types of shapes, even complex ones.

Current milling machines are frequently automated. In the industry, milling workers
qualified individuals frequently carry out work inshooting csupplementary.

2. The machines:
Machines are classified into two categories:

16
2.1. Milling:

In the case of milling: the tool rotates, the workpiece moves. Milling centers consist of
generally 3 axes (that can be controlled individually to create shapes
complex (Helixes…) and a rotating platform to present all sides of the piece in front of the
brooch.

One can also imagine mounting the tool at the end of a robotic arm. See the example on the opposite side.

The tool rotates, the piece moves relative to the tool. This allows for the creation of shapes.
plans, molds...

The types of milling machines:


Horizontal and vertical milling machines

Figure 12: Horizontal and vertical milling machines

2.2. Shooting:
The conventional parallel turn:

17
This machine is mainly used to machine revolution parts. The part is fixed in the
mandrel. This is rotated by the spindle motor. The tool follows a path that
interferes with the part. The tool is equipped with a cutting edge, which results in a removal of
matter. These small elements of matter are called chips.

Figure 13: The conventional parallel lathe

2.3. Numerical control machine


2.3.1. Introduction:

A Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine is a machining machine with a cycle


programmable automatic.

The term 'digital command' is generic and has been chosen because the machine is
commanded by digital 'instructions' provided by a computer. In other words, we
can say that the movable parts of the machine are motorized and that an automation ensures the
command and in most cases the control of position and/or speed.

This type of machine consists of two complementary parts:

The operative part (it is the machine tool: it acts directly on the product to be made).
The control part (this is the numerical control: it allows the development of orders in
function of instructions and reports).

18
2.3.2. Interests of MOCN
Generally speaking, the use of a MOCN has a number of advantages:

A CNC machine facilitates the machining of complex shapes. Many operations can
to be executed in envelope work, which limits the number of shape tools or
specific tools.
It allows for reducing machining times (optimization of cutting conditions) and the
dead times (high movement speeds, reduced tool change times).
The quality of the product increases (better dimensional accuracy and better condition of
surface).
It helps to reduce the lead times and the changeover time (responsiveness of
the company).

4. The cutting conditions:


4.1. Principle:
During machining by material removal, we find ourselves, in the majority of cases, in the
following configuration:
A tool blade penetrates the material and removes a chip.
The tool follows a trajectory relative to the workpiece. These movements are ensured by the
constituent elements of the machine tool.
To achieve satisfactory work (good condition of the machined surface, speed of machining, wear
moderate the tool, ...) we need to adjust the cutting parameters.
There are several criteria that define the parameters of the cut, including:
The type of machine (turning, milling, drilling)
The power of the machine
The machined material (steel, aluminum)
- The material of the tool (ARS, carbide)
The type of operation (drilling, turning, surfacing)
The final objective is to obtain a machined part under good conditions. To achieve this, it is necessary to
determine certain specific parameters:
The cutting speed: Vc

23
The advance speed: F
The pass depth: a

4.4. Choice of cutting parameters:


When machining a single unit, it is not necessary to optimize the cutting conditions.
One then content oneself with choosing the conditions for machining to go well. When one does
a series of parts, it becomes interesting to try to optimize one of the parameters.

1. Mechanisms of wear formation:

The wear of cutting tools is one of the most complex physico-chemical phenomena.
It influences the geometry of the tool as well as the quality of the part. It is due to its
appearance due to the following causes:
Friction tool-chip, tool-workpiece and workpiece-chip (abrasive wear).
Plastic deformations of the material of the active part of the tool.
Significant warming due to cutting.
The fragmentation of the tool (tear-off of small metal particles).
Usury can take several forms:
Abrasive wear is common to all tools, it is the main cause of
the dulling of the tool.
Wear due to plastic deformations of the tool material is especially for tools
in low-alloy steel (high-speed steel).
The wear caused by a high cutting temperature is more pronounced in
carbon steels and high-speed steels, due to their hot resistance
relatively low. Wear is all the faster as the temperature of the active part
is higher as shown in the figure:

Another series of shooting experiments aimed at determining the speed "vc".


depending on the time 'T' for dry machining and another with lubrication, give the
following results:

Figure: Influence of lubrication

27
What we observe in the figure is that with well-suited lubrication for the work to be done
allows to significantly increase the lifespan of the tool, resulting in reduced wear.

2. Types of wear:
Depending on the cutting conditions, wear can occur according to the clearance surface.
depending on the attack surface or depending on both surfaces at the same time:
The wear of the chip removal surface (figure II.24a) is specific to tools that remove chips.
of low thickness (less than 0.1mm) with a cutting speed that is too high (greater than 80
m/min) as well as during the machining of brittle chip metals (cast iron, bronze, etc...).

The wear of the attack surface (figure II.24.b) occurs during the machining of plastic materials.
with tools that remove chips thicker than 0.5 mm, the speed is
varied from 20 to 30 m/min, in this zone the reported edge forms which protects the surface of
skin against wear. It begins with the appearance of a small indentation that widens with the
weather.

The simultaneous wear of the spoil and attack surfaces (figure II.24.c) is particular to
tools that remove chips with a thickness ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 mm. The cutting speed is
large enough. The sharp edge disappears, the next cut becomes impossible so the tool must
to be refined.

In the case of carbide tools that usually operate at speeds of


high cuts which prevent the formation of the reported edge. That is why after a
certain time spent during machining, the entire cutting surface including the cutting edge
wears out. The wear of the two surfaces forms a new sharp edge (figure II.25)
that renews during the cup.

28
Figure: Metal carbide tool

3. Dependence between wear and time:


The relationship between the value of wear and time represented by the following curve can be
divided into three periods:

Figure: Wear curve

Period I: Initial wear or break-in (to be avoided for adjustments)


Period II: Normal wear or normal range of tool usage
Period III: Accelerated wear (catastrophic) risk of rupture.

The first period: is the break-in period (initial wear that leads to intense wear,
the smoother the friction surfaces are, the less the wear evolution is in the same.
time interval.

29
The second period: is that of normal wear, it is defined by the progression of wear.
depending on the working hours during the second period, the increase in wear in units
Time is a constant.
The third period is when wear reaches a certain degree. The cutting conditions and
friction changes to establish the third period which is that of accelerated wear (wear
catastrophic.

4. Lifespan:
The three main parameters of cutting conditions, speed, feed, and depth, have
an effect on the lifespan of the tool. To extend the lifespan:
Optimizep(in order to reduce the number of passes)
Optimizern(to reduce cutting time)
Reducec(in order to reduce the heat)

reached (generally VB=0.3) and we note the actual cutting time Ti.
By plotting the pairs (Vi, Ti) on a graph, one obtains a curve that has this shape.

31
In zone A-B, we can write:
= ×

Simplified TAYLOR model, Cv and k are coefficients.


Represented in a logarithmic coordinate system, the segment A-B is practically a
right.

Log T = Log Cv + k Log V


If we know the lifespan T1 for the cutting speed V1, and the lifespan T2 for the speed
from the V2 cut, we can easily determine Cv and k.

32
K depends mainly on the tool. It can only be said that it is between -12 and 1.
Cv mainly depends on the machined material and cutting conditions. It is even more difficult to it
give an order of magnitude: 10^4 < Cv < 10^14
In practice, the cutting speed value will be found in provided databases.
by manufacturers who conducted experimental campaigns to determine the values of
Cv and k as a function of the characteristics of their tools (material, coating, geometry, ...).

5. Optimization of cutting conditions:

5.1 Generalities:
Optimization is the search for the most satisfactory solution according to a chosen criterion.
Examples: Criteria
optimize the machining price of a part minimum cost
optimize the machining time of a part, minimum duration
optimize the stock of equipment, maximum quantity.

5.2 The parameters of production:


The cost of a part:
The components of the cost price of a piece are:
machine cost (depreciation, maintenance, operator salary);
- assembly cost (assembly price to be amortized over the entire series);
cost related to tool wear (inserts, insert holders, machine downtime for adjustments, ...);
The production time:
Auxiliary times (changing parts, taking passes, ...);
The cutting time;
The tool change times.
Problem position:
On a :
Ct = f (pièce, machine, nombre de passes, vitesse de broche (N), vitesse d’avance (f))
The problem is to find the cutting conditions 'N' and 's' such that Ct is minimized.
