Because of the increasing tool cost for cutting hard-to-cut materials, abrasive water jet (AWJ) milling recently has been regarded as a potential alternative machining method. However, it is difficult to control the depth and width of cut in AWJ milling because they vary depending on many AWJ cutting parameters. On 27 conditions within a limited range of pressure, feed rate, and abrasive flow rate, AWJ cutting was conducted on titanium, and depth profiles were measured with a laser sensor. From the depth profile data, depth and width of cut were acquired at each condition. The relationships between depth and parameters and between width and parameters were derived through regression analysis. The former can provide proper cutting conditions and the latter the proper pick feed necessary to generate a milled surface. It is verified that pressure mostly affects depth, whereas abrasive flow rate mostly affects width.

This thesis is concerned with the study on the characteristics of the cutting resistance occurring in finish machining of hardened steels such as carbon tool steel and alloy tool steel by a ceramic tool with nose radius. For the purpose, the shape of cutting cross-section made at nose part of the tool was analyzed geometrically and the wear mechanism on the flank face of the ceramic tool is investigated. In order to investigate the characteristics of cutting resistance two categories of cutting conditions are suggested, along with geometrical analysis. One category includes the conventional cutting parameters such as feed and depth of cut, another containing new cutting parameters of thickness of cut and width of cut etc. Thickness of cut width of cut and area of undeformed chip section formed by the condition of engagement between workpiece and cutting tool are determined as the function of feed, depth of cut and nose radius of cutting too, And an effective approach angle is determined by depth of cut and nose radius.

Feedrate is one of the factors that have the significant effects on the productivity, qualify and tool life in the cutting mechanism as well as cutting velocity, depth of cut and width of cut. In this study, in order to realize the high-efficient machining, a new feedrate optimization method is proposed based on the concept that the optimum feedrate can be derived from the allowable cutting power since the cutting power can be predicted from the cutting parameters as feedrate, depth of cut, width of cut, chip thickness, engagement angle, rake angle, specific cutting force and so on. Tool paths are extracted from the original NC program via the reverse post-processing process and converted into the infinitesimal tool paths via the interpolation process. And the novel NC program is reconstructed by optimizing the feedrate of infinitesimal tool paths. Especially, the fast feedrate optimization is realized by using the Boolean operation based on the Goldfeather CSG rendering algorithm, and the simulation results reveal the availability of the proposed optimization method dramatically reducing the cutting time and/or the optimization time. As a result, the proposed optimization method will go far toward improving the productivity and qualify.

Automatic monitoring of cutting process is one of the most important technologies for increasing the stability and the reliability of unmanned manufacturing system. In this study, basic methods which use the acoustic emission (AE) signals and cutting forces were proposed to monitor flank wear (width of flank wear) quantiatively. First, in order to detect flank wear, it was investigated that the influence of cutting conditions, that is, cutting velocity, feed and depth of cut, on AE signals (${AE_rms}$) and cutting forces. Furthermore, the relation between flank wear and the measured signals (${AE_rms}$, cutting force) was discussed.

A 23 W continuous wavelength $CO_2$ laser system exited by a high-frequency LCC resonant converter is adapted to cut a biodegradable rope fabricated with polybutylene succinate. As the biodegradable rope consists of three twisted strands, the thickness changes relative to the position of the laser beam and we thus propose a method to determine exact cutting depth. In order to obtain the parameters related to the rope cutting, the experimental and theoretical cutting depths are compared and analyzed for a range of laser heat sources. The melted thickness and groove width of the cut biodegradable rope are also examined. The proposed theoretical cutting depth depends on the incident power and target velocity ratio. From these experimental results, the biodegradable rope with a diameter of 22 mm can be cut with a heat source of 50 J/cm resulting in a melted thickness of 1.96 mm and a groove width of 0.65 mm. The laser system is shown to be perfect tool for the processing of biodegradable rope without the occurrence of raveling.

SUS304 is wellknown as difficult-to-machine materials. It is easy to appear workhardened, and workhardening is one of the causes of groove wear on the tool. In this paper, the author would like to compare the width of flank wear with that of groove wear, and to find whether the groove wear can be used as a criterion of a tool life. The design of the twelve tests provides three levels for each variable (speed: 200m/min, 118m/min, 70m/min; feed: 0.3mm/rev, 0.17mm/rev, 0.1mm/rev; depth of cut: 0.4mm, 0.28mm, 0.2mm). The study of tool-life testing by statistical technique follows usual most scientific sequence. So the tool-life predicting equation is calculated by the method of least squares. The overall adequacy of the model can be verified by the analysis of variance. The results obtained are as follows : 1) When SUS304 is cut in 200(m/min), the width of flank wear is much larger than that of groove wear. 2) In cutting speed 118m/min, flank wear is a little larger than groove wear and in the cutting speed 70m/min, the latter is a little larger so that it is reasonable to determine the tool life according the crierion by groove wear in the low cutting speed (less than 70m/min). 3) Owing to the burr the depth of engagement along the cutting edge is extended toward the shank.

This study is a study on the flexural adhesion performance of polymer cement composites(PCCs) repair section according to the crack depth, and the flexural adhesion strength was obtained through a flexural strength test of cement mortar that was filled into cracks and repaired to a certain thickness using PCCs made of ultra high-early strength cement and polymer dispersion of EVA. As a result of the study, the flexural adhesion performance according to the crack width and crack depth was expected to decrease the flexural adhesion strength as the crack depth increased at the crack width 3.0mm, but the crack width 2.0mm and 1.5mm did not show any tendency according to the crack depth. In addition, even in the final destruction, the fact that the cracks and bottoms filled with PCCs were not cut or dropped proves that PCCs have excellent adhesion and rich toughness.

Burrs always come out with the machining of ducterial with small size. Though the size of burrs is small, burrs dominate deterioration of the accuracy of the micro grooves. So the burr generation model especially side burr generation model was investigated to predict the size of the burrs at the given cutting conditions. The side shear plane is introduced to build the burr generation model and the width of side shear plane nomalized with cutting depth is defined with the shear angle. From the theoretical observation, the width of side shear plane can vary up 40% of the cutting depth. To determine the size of burr and stiffness, single groovings were carried out and it was found that there exist a critical depth of cut that the size or stiffness of the burr vary.

Chip breaking is important in lathe work for maintaining good surface of the products and safety of operator. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of chip breaking and chip shape resulted from the carbide inserts with grooved type and obstruction type chip breaker. Experiments have been performed under the following cutting conditions, (1) constant cutting speed with variable depth of cut and feed rate, (2) constant depth of cut with variable cutting speed and feed rate. Also, the flying distance of chip and it's distribution have been investigated. As a results, good performance of chip breaking can be obtained for small radius of curvature and land width of grooved type chip breaker. And the thickness of chip increase with the increase of feed rate and decrease of cutting speed, and the chip breaking becomes easier with the increase of chip thickness due to the large deformation rate. Obstraction type chip breaker shows better performance of surface roughness than the grooved type. The flying distance of the chips over 90% are less than 1 meter, and the distance decreases as the feed rate decreases.

The cutting tests of high tensile steel plate(AH36) were carried out using CNC plasma arc cutting machine. Both top and bottom width of kerf and the surface roughness(Ra, Rmax) of cut surface are measured under various cutting conditions such as cutting speed, steel plate thickness, etc. In the CNC plasma arc cutting, the surface roughness decreases as cutting speed increases. The hardness is high up to 4mm depth from the cutting surface. In the cutting speed 1300~2100mm/min, the ratio of proper kerf width(Wt/Wb) is around 2.6. Through the series the series of experiments, the satisfactory cutting conditions of high tensile steel plate were found.
