In this research, the effects for surface Improvement of plasma ion implanted carbide endmill tools were observed by measuring cutting forces and tools wear affecting surface roughness in high speed cutting. From the 2nd ion mass analysis, the oxidation layer was found to be built up by sputtering. The residual gas contamination of oxygen was found to be contained impurities in nitrogen gas. The plasma implanted ion was found to be spreaded, especially the nitrogen was implanted up to 150nm depth as impressed voltage and ion implanting time. It is analyzed as bring surface improvement by spreading deeply forming oxidation on surface. The factors in Analysis of Variance(ANOVA) about mutuality cause reference of cutting force. The cutting force Fx is affected by the interaction of spindle rpm and federate, the cutting force Fy is influenced by spindle rpm and time injected ion, and cutting force Fz is affected by the interaction of impressed voltage and feedrate. Also, it was found that the cutting forces of implanted tools become lower and the surface roughness is improved by the effect of nitrogen according to the implantation.

TiAIN was deposited onto ISO P2O Cutting Insert Tip substrate by FVAS at the substrate temperature of 80$^{\circ}C$. Cutting and wear test have been performed with TiAIN coated and uncoated WC cutting tools, respectively. Uncoated WC cutting tool has been tested under similar cutting condition for comparison. Cutting force and tool wear of coated and uncoated carbide cutting tools were investigated by cutting length. In cutting test, cutting force of the coated insert tip was larger than the uncoated insert tip by tool wear. Configuration and wear of the coated tool were more stable and resistant than the uncoated. In tool life by the tool wear, the coated cutting tool life was rather longer than the uncoated when tested at high speed (V=250 m/min) than low speed (V=200 m/min), Cutting force, tool wear and life were analysised by tool dynamometer amp(3ch) and oscilloscope.

The cutting processes used for monitoring engineering includes analysis and feedback about strange conditions, tools collision and tools wear in real time, for improving the working ratio of equipment and productivity. In this study, we proposed monitoring using profibus to increase the reliability as the most important factor for cutting monitoring. The profibus can increase the reliability of cutting monitoring for cutting torque of a main spindle motor and a feed motors through PLC-based interface.

The prediction for tool life is one of the most important factors for increasing reliability, stability, and productivity of manufacturing system. This paper deals with a tool life prediction method in view of reliability assessment for cutting tools. In this study, flank wear was focused among multi-factors deciding the tool wear state. First, tool life was predicted by correlation between flank wear and cutting time, based on the extended Taylor tool life equation of turning, including parameters of cutting speed, feed rate, and cutting depth. Second, each of cutting conditions of end-milling was equivalently converted to apply ball end-mill data to the extended Taylor equation. The web-based prediction program for tool life was developed as one of reliability assessment programs for machine tools.

Aluminum-based composites reinforced with various amounts of $\alpha-Si_3N_4$ were produced by powder metallurgy (P/M). The machinability properties of $MMC_s$ were determined by means of cutting forces and surface roughness. Machining tests were carried out by using PCD and K10 tools. Increasing of $Si_3N_4$ volume fraction in the matrix resulted in a decrease of the surface roughness and turning forces. PCD cutting tools showed better cutting performance than K10 tools.

An experimental investigation is reported on the wear mechanism of CBN cutting tools. The cutting experiments were conducted on a lathe equipped with a tool dynamometer for cutting force measurement. The investigation of wear mechanism was executed by observing the worn tools using tool microscope and scanning electron microscope. Results indicate that the flank wear occurs dominantly by abrasive wear mode and the crater wear by adhesive wear mode. The results also indicate that the width of flank wear is closely related with the passive component of cutting force.

Four SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic cutting tools with different composition have been fabricated by hot-pressing. Correlations among the annealing time, the corresponding microstructure and the mechanical properties of resulting ceramics have been investigated. The fracture toughness and the grain size of both SiC and Si$_3$N$_4$in SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$composites increased with the annealing time. 1\`he hardness of SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$composites was relatively independent of the grain size and the sintered density. These ceramic cutting tools were tested under various cutting conditions and compared with the commercial Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic cutting tools. The experimental results were compared in terms of tool life and cutting force. The performance of SiC-Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic cutting tool shows the possibility to be a new ceramic tool.

Ceramic tool has to equip with not only high toughness and strength but also low thermal expansion and good thermal conductivity which leads to the high thermal shock resistance. These characteristics make it have longer tool life under thermal stress condition. In this study, commercial Si$_3$N$_4$ceramic cutting tool and home-made SiC based ceramic cutting tools which have different sintering time and chemical composition are tested under various cutting speed and the feed rate increase, the cutting force and the flank wear growth ratio increase, too. The performance of home-made SiC based ceramic cutting tool shows the possibility to be a new ceramic tool.

To apply the CVD diamond film to coated tools, it is necessary to make adhesion strength between diamond film and substrate stronger. So adhesion strength of diamond coated WC-Co tools using Microwave Plasma CVD and cutting test of Al-18mass%Si alloy using diamond cutting tools were studied. Diamond coating was carried out using Microwave Plasma CVD apparatus. Reaction gas was used mixture of methane and hydrogen. Substrate temperature were varied from 673K to 1173K by control of microwave output power and reaction pressure. By observation of SEM, grain size became larger and larger as substrate temperature became higher and higher. Also all deposits were covered with clear diamond crystals. XRD results, the deposits were identified to cubic diamond. An analysis using Raman spectroscopy, the deposit synthesized at lower substrate temperature (673K) showed higher quality than deposit synthesized at higher substrate temperature (1173K). As a result of scratch adhesion strength test, from 873K to 1173K adhesion strength decreased by rising of substrate temperature. The deposit synthesized at 873K showed best adhesion strength. In the cutting test of Al-18mass%Si alloy using diamond coated tools and the surface machinability of Al-Si works turned with diamond coating tools which synthesized at 873K presented uniform roughness. Cutting performance of Al-18mass%Si alloys using diamond coated WC-Co tools related to the adhesion strength.

There have been numerous studies on end milling processes. However, these have been restricted to the application of tools for special cutting purposes. A side milling cutter can handle long, deep, and open slots in a more efficient manner, and it provides the best stability and productivity for this type of milling. In this paper, a method to predict the cutting forces in side milling is described, and simulated cutting forces are compared with those obtained by cutting experiments. In particular, the side milling process easily generates relative motion between the tools and the workpiece because it produces intermittent cutting forces that cause vibrations over a wide frequency range. Therefore, the application of a dynamic cutting model instead of a static cutting model is appropriate to forecast the cutting forces more accurately.
