With the development of high speed and accuracy machining, the micro-chips are formed in the machining process and broken particles are circulated with the cutting fluid. The surface roughness and accuracy of part are deteriorated because the metal particles included in the cutting fluid are embedded on machined surface. In this study, the influences of particles for the machined surface according to filtering degrees are evaluated and the embedding mechanism is suggested.

Rotary bar was cutting tool being in use for deburring scale after welding metal and for eliminating sharp edges. It was necessary to develop exclusive 6-axis machine being possible to process machining continuously for making an cutting edge of rotary bar and to revise easily machining program. This study aimed at the structural analysis of strength according to the configuration of new made 6-axis machine and at the machining accuracy and durability of rotary bar. As a result of test, the runout of new rotary bar manufactured out of 6-axis machine was decreased from 0.385 mm to 0.027mm extensively than old one. And good cutting ability and durability was obtained equal quality compared with imported products.

The computer related techniques have been developed rapidly in the field of metal removal industry. The electronic catalog for mechanical elements is one of such developments realized in recent years. As the emergence of the electronic catalogs in the 90s, it breaks the restriction of the traditional catalog and becomes a helpful and efficient tool in the field. In this paper, we develop an electronic catalog for the cutting tools of the Korea Tungsten Co. Ltd. The catalog consists of three parts: a preprocessor for tool selection, a database for tool, and a postprocessor for search result. A preprocessor for tool selection is developed under a user-friendly consideration. A database for tool consists of milling, drilling, and reaming tools with a list of cutters, inserts, and components. A postprocessor for search result consists of weight, dimension. drawing, product order number etc. of the tools. It also suggests the optimized cutting condition of the selected tool using a neural network technique which is done by an independent research group.

To improve productivity of a metal cutting process, it is required to monitor machining stability in real time. Since cutting environment is harsh against sensing conditions due to vibration, chip, and cutting fluid, etc., it is necessary to develop a robust and reliable sensing system for the practical application. In this work, a chatter monitoring system was developed and its effectiveness was proved. Spindle displacement caused by cutting was selected as a main monitoring parameter. A cylindrical capacitive displacement sensor was adopted. Chatter frequencies were identified through modal analysis. To quantify chatter vibrations, chatter correlation coefficient was introduced. The identification of the monitoring system showed a good agreement with the result of experiment.

The cutting thickness of ultra-precision machining is generally very small, only a few micrometer or even down to the order of a flew manometer. In such case, a basic understanding of the mechanism on the micro-machining process is necessary to produce a high quality surface. When machining at very small depths of cut, metal flow near a rounded tool edge become important. In this paper a finite element analysis is presented to calculate the stagnation point on the tool edge or critical depth of cut below which no cutting occurs. From the simulation, the effects of the cutting speed on the critical depths of cut were calculated and discussed. Also the transition of the stagnation point according to the increase of the depths of cut was observed.

The shaped charge were made for identifying the effect of controled blasting using relatively low VOD explosive for cutting rock mass with changing quality and thickness of metal liner. The metal liner was attached on both sides of a charge for directional cutting, when the shaped charge exploded in rock mass. Also, a efficiency of shaped charge was identified by concrete member experiment. And a center guide used for maintaining stand-off between shaped charge and hole wall. A case of Fe liner of thickness 0.8mm formed the deepest notch of experiments and the directional cutting of concrete member was identified.

Study on the Ti-6Al-4V have been carried out using cutting simulation, and researches for cutting force and chip shape prediction have been actively conducted under various conditions. However, a 3D printer application method using Ti-6Al-4V metal powder material as a high-power method has been studied for the purpose of prototyping, mold modification and product modification while lowering material removal rate. However, in the case of products / parts made of 3D printers using powder materials, problems may occur in the contact surface during tolerance management and assembly due to the degradation of the surface quality. As a result, even if a 3D printer is applied, post-processing through cutting is essential for surface quality improvement and tolerance management. In the cutting simulation, the cutting force and the chip shape were predicted based on the Johnson-Cook composition equation, but the shape of the shear type chip was not predictable. To solve this problem, we added a damaging term or strain softening term to the Johnson-Cook constitutive equation to predict chip shape. In this thesis, we applied the constant value of the S-K equations to the cutting simulation to predict the cutting force and compare with the experimental data to verify the validity of the cutting simulation and analyzed the machining characterization by considering conditions.

To assess hydraulic connections between sub-components of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) diagnostic port plug, the laser welding and ablation cutting process were investigated in order to be applied the remote handling maintenance. In this study, laser ablation cutting, which vaporizes a small amount of solid material directly into gas by focusing a laser beam of high density energy, is adopted in order to overcome the limitation of the normal laser cutting technology that the head should be placed as close to the work piece as possible to blow out melt metal at a distance. Complete cutting of a work piece is obtained by repetitive multi-passes of the laser beam. The welding and cutting process were tested on the sample work pieces and finally on a prototype of a hydraulic connection module for remote handling. The results showed that this process can be a promising candidate for hydraulic connections by remote handling.

Plasma arc cutting is a fusion cutting process in which a gas constricted arc is employed to produce high temperature, high velocity jet at the workpiece. Even though the plasma arc cutting has been wid¬ely used in the industry, very little work has been done on the analysis of the process. In this paper, the kerf width was numerically analyzed by soving the temperature distribution in base metal under consideration of the latent heat effect. In modelling the heat flow problem, the heat intensity of the plasma arc was assumed to have a Gaussion distribution in the transverse direction and expone¬ntially decreasing in the thickness direction. The thermal efficiency and the heat input ratio of the top surface were experimentally deterimned for various thickness and cutting conditions, and used in numerical calculation of the kerf width. The experimental results were in eonsiderabely good agreement with the theoretically predicted kerf width.

The purpose of this study is to ascertain the ability of New type cutter using Hybrid Rocket Propulsion System to cut normal carbon steel and also compound metal like stainless steel which cannot be cut by regular oxygen-acetylene cutter. To compare cutting performance, Two different types of experiment with oxygen-acetylene and Hybrid Combustion cutters were performed. As a result, Hybrid Combustion cutter is used to cut both carbon steel and stainless steel with cutting speed of 400mm/min(carbon steel) and 250mm/min(stainless steel). Otherwise, oxygen-acetylene cutter can be used to cut only carbon steel with cutting speed of 500 $^{\sim}$ 700mm/min. The possibility of Hybrid Combustion cutter as a cutting machine was confirmed.
