In order to suggest the proper cutting conditions of the CNC milling machining for the free-from surface, some experiments were carried out. In experiments, the influence of cutting conditions on the inclined spherical surface were examined by geometrical anlysis. In thos study, the roundness and cutting force were measured to know the effect of several cutting conditions on the machined surface and the cutting characteristics were carefully investigated. As the result, it was appeared that rigidder tool must be used and the cutting speed must be maintained constantlyfor more effective machining. It can be also known from the experiments that the improved machining surface obtained under about 80 degree, but coarse surface obtained over about 80 degree because of the existance of immproper shape of ball-end mill at the extreme portion.

We experimented on cutting characteristics-cutting force, behavior of cutting temperature, surface roughness. chip thickness under low temperature, which generated by liquid nitrogen(77K). The work-pieces were freezed to-195 .deg. C and liquid nitrogen was also sprinkled on cutting area in order to decrease an experimental error of machining in low temperature. The workpiece was became to -195 .deg. C in5 minutes. In cooled condition surface roughness of workpiece was better than normal condition. In addition, we investigated the possibility that surface roughness of workpiece and cutting force can be predicted analyzing cutting conditions by the trained neural network.

The dimensional accuracy and global roughness between successive layers of VLM-s, which is a new rapid prototyping process using hotwire cutter and EPS foam, depend significantly on the operating parameters of hotwire cutter. In the present study, the effect of cutting angle on the kerf width and edge shape in hotwire cutting of EPS foam for the case of single-sloped cutting with one cutting angle was investigated. Through single-sloped cutting tests, the modified relationship between kerf width and effective heat input, considering the effect of the cutting angle, and the relationship between the melted area and the cutting angle were obtained. In order to investigate the effect of cutting angles on the thermal field in EPS foam, transient heat transfer analyses using single-sloped volumetric heat flux model and locally-conformed mesh were performed. Through the comparison between experimental and numerical results, it was shown that the proposed analysis model is needed to estimate the three-dimensional temperature distribution of the EPS foam for the case of single-sloped hotwire cutting.

A clear understanding of the surface formation mechanism due to cutting is very important to help produce a good quality surface. Much of the roughness along the length of a bar being cut in a lathe can be explained in terms of macroscopic tool shape and feed rate. However, the roughness along the direction of cutting requires a different explanation. The formation of surface roughness is a problem in flow and fracture of materials in the vicinity of the tool edge. On a microscopic scale the cutting edge is rounded because it is impossible to grind a perfectly sharp cutting edge. Even if a perfectly sharp cutting edge were obtained it would soon become dull as a result of rapid breakdown and wear of the cutting edge. A research project is proposed in which in the main object is to model the surface formation mechanism due to cutting. The tool was assumed to be dull, that is, its edge has a finite radius. In order to study the effect of the radius of cutting edge on the surface formation, tools having different cutting edges were used. For orthogonal cutting experiment, cast iron and glass were chosen as brittle materials. Plowing forces acting in the cutting edge were estimated and its effect on the surface roughness was studied by observing the machined surface using optical microscope.

This research suggests a cutting force model for the ball end milling processes. This model includes the effect of tool run out and tool deflection. In the proposed model, the flutes of ball end mills are considered as series of infinitesimal elements and each cutting edge is assumed to be straight for the analysis of the oblique cutting process, in which the small cutting edge element has been analyzed as an orthogonal cutting process n the plane including the cutting velocity and the chip-flow vector. Therefor, the cutting forces can be calculated through the model using the orthogonal cutting data obtained from the orthogonal cutting test. In order to enhance the performance of the model, the flutes of ball end mill are defined to keep geometric consistency at the peak of the ball part and the junction with the end mill part. The divided infinitesimal cutting edges are regulated to be even lengths. Some experiments show the validity of the developed model in the various cutting coalitions.

Underwater cutting has a different mechanism than dry cutting, and there are more restrictions than benefits. Due to these constraints, research and development of underwater cutting has been very limited. At present, reactor dismantling is emerging as an important task worldwide, and reactor pressure containers, a key part of the reactor, are decommissioned based on underwater cutting. Reactor pressure containers are high-level radioactive waste, which is one of the main goals of today, such as to bridge the gap between environmental, safety, and cutting performance; hence, a process suitable for cutting should be applied. Therefore, many studies are being conducted on underwater cutting in connection with the dismantling of nuclear reactors in various areas in order to find appropriate processes. This paper first introduces the core technology of underwater cutting processes and discusses various processes. The emphasis is then placed on the adequacy of the reactor dismantling application. More specifically, we examine the suitability for the mechanical and thermal cutting processes, respectively, to find a solution suitable for dismantling a reactor. We discuss how each solution can sufficiently perform the specified functions at each stage of reactor dismantling and suggest that these processes can perform all of the work of underwater cutting.

Ultraprecision cutting of steels with geometrically defined single crystal diamond tools is handicapped by excessive tool wear. This paper presents a new approach to suppress the wear of single crystal diamond tool in cutting of steels. In general, it is said that the wear of diamond tool is caused by chemically reactive wear under high temperature and high pressure conditions. In order to suppress such chemical reactions, the time of contact between the diamond tool and the steel work in cutting was controlled by employing the intermittent cutting method such as fly-cutting. Series of intermittent cutting experiments have been carried out to control the tool-work contact time by changing one cycle of cutting length and cutting speed. The experimental results were shown that the tool wear was much dependent on the contact time regardless of the cutting speed, and that the wear was much suppressed by reducing the tool-work contact time. It is expected that the steels can be successfully cut with a single crystal diamond tool by controlling the contact time.

In order to find out optimum seed production date according to different defoliation and flooding period of Italian ryegrass, this studies with Tetrone were canied out on the experimental field of Honam Crop Experiment Station from 1986 to 1988. Treatments included cutting date of Nov. 20 and Apr. 10 and flooding period of 5-25 days. In soil after experiment, organic matter, phosphate and silicate content increased, but potassium content decreased 0.16% than that before experiment. Heading and maturing date of Nov. 20 cutting were same with those of non cutting, those of Apr. 10 cutting lates 6 days to heading date and 2 days to maturing date. Plant height and culm length of Nov. 20 cutting were sirniller to those of non cutting, those of Apr. 10 cutting were shorter and panicle length have no difference between non cutting and cutting. Lodging of cutting treatment was reduced than that of non cutting. Lodgin was increased as flooding period was long, also loding of all treatment occured at 30 days after heading. Two cutting times of Nov. 20 and Apr. 10 have the most fresh yield, while non cutting have the most dry matter yield. Optimun seed productin date was considered to suitable when 35 days after heading (Jun. 14), at this time, seed production was 1,640 to 2,640 kg/ha. Also if flooding j u r y have, seed production was good between 10 days and 15 days after flooding.

In this study, the roundness and cutting force were measured to know the effect of several cutting conditions on the machined surface and the cutting characteristics were carefully investigated. The results obtained in this study are aw follows. 1) If the tool ha s enough rigidity, we can get better dimensional accuracy in up-ward cutting than down- ward cutting. 2) A great roundness error is appeared on the surface declined under 30 degress to the horizontal plane in circular machining by a bal end mill. 3) If the thrust force is increased, the stability of tool is decreased. And the phenomenon is apperared in great in down-ward cutting than up-ward cutting.

Cutting process, in general, is a closed-loop system consisting of structural dynamics and cutting dynamics, with the cutting forces and the relative displacements between tool and workpiece being the associated variables. There have been a number of works on modeling the cutting process of endmilling, most of which assumed that either one of the tool or workpiece be negligible in tis displacement. In this paper, the relative displacement between tool and workpiece was considered. The proposed model used experimental modal analysis for structural dynamics and an instantaneous uncut chip thickness model for cutting dynamics. Simulation of the model, a time varying cutting system, was performed using 4th order Runge-Kutta method. Subsequent simulation results were utilized to predict chatter over a variety of experiments in slotting operation, showing good agreement.
