Designing an Innovative Face-Milling Cutter
2013
The paper consists in a research in the design of an innovative face-milling cutter, in terms of product lifecycle management (PLM), with the help from creative design methods, such as TRIZ. The model of the lifecycle management of the cutting tools was presented, emphasizing the functional analysis and creative design phase. Based on this analysis, a new constructive variant of the milling cutter was designed and simulated with finite element method, highlighting its advantages compared with classic construction variants.
Virtual prototyping of a new intramedullary nail for tibial fractures
2012
In this work a new distal interlocking system has been developed which is easy to use, allows a reduction of the operating time and consequently the exposure to radiations both for surgeon and patient. The main goal of this study has been the design of a new intramedullary nail for tibial fractures able to simplify and speed up the distal locking operation phases. After a preliminary stage during which several candidate concepts have been proposed and analysed, the best solution has been developed and deeply investigated. The new system, called “expansion nail”, has been firstly modelled by setting up a full parametric CAD model and, then, tested by running non linear FEM analyses to evalua…
An Inverse Approach for the Design of the Optimal Preform Shape in Cold Forging
1998
Abstract In closed die forging the preform design plays a critical role for the success of the process: in fact it must ensure that in the finishing step the desired product is obtained without shape defects such as underfilling or folding and with a minimum material loss into the flash. In the paper an inverse approach is applied to the preform shape optimization problem: the method permits to evaluate a response function which links the set of parameters defining the preform shape with the fulfillment of the product design specifications. The proposed approach has been applied to a closed die forging process aimed to the production of a C-shape component, and has allowed to determine the …

CNC Milling Machine Simulation in Engineering Education
2012
In this work an effective simulator for a CNC milling machine is presented. It has been developed in EMC2, a free Opens Source NC software running in Linux environment, developed by an international community. It can be installed on a common PC and is able to: control a CNC machine; read part programs; display the tool path; send instructions to the CNC machine for the cutting process. In this work a new feature has been implemented, which can both display a 3D model of the machine and simulate all the motions of the movable parts of a real 3 axis end milling machine. This simulator lets the users not only verify the toolpath but also detect any possible collision by using the very computer…
Joining by plastic deformation
2013
Abstract As the scale and complexity of products such as aircraft and cars increase, demand for new functional processes to join mechanical parts grows. The use of plastic deformation for joining parts potentially offers improved accuracy, reliability and environmental safety as well as creating opportunities to design new products through joining dissimilar materials. This paper aims to provide an overview of the state of the art in such joining processes, including cold welding, friction stir welding, self-pierce riveting, mechanical clinching and joining by forming. The paper includes description of the mechanism of joint formation, and analysis of joint performance and applicability.
Thermophysical-Property-Based Selection of Tool Protective Coatings for Dry Machining of Steels
2003
A method is proposed for determining the optimum cutting conditions in dry turning of carbon and stainless steels using multilayer coated tools for physical criteria such as the maximum temperature of a cutting tool or maximum heat flux. The modified thermal number describing the tool-chip behavior, is introduced. The correlation between the thermal number and the average tool-chip interface temperature and frictional heat flux is examined for both flat-faced and grooved rake configurations. Although not shown here directly, the thermal barrier effect observed for multilayer coatings with an intermediate Al2O3 layer increases the heat partition to the chip at substantially reduced cutting t…
Cutting Temperatures Evaluation in Ceramic Tools: Experimental Tests, Numerical Analysis and SEM Observations
1994
The authors propose a multiple approach for the evaluation of cutting temperatures in ceramic tools. The first approach was the experimental evaluation of equitemperature lines, obtained in three-dimensional cutting by employing constant melting point powders scattered on planes parallel to rake face. In the second approach, a numerical finite element analysis was performed. At this step the determination of the percentage of total heat produced in the operation that flows into the tool was considered and, consequently, the temperature distribution within the whole volume of the insert. Finally, the examination of the crater zone with SEM microscopy confirmed the temperature levels as previ…
A computational approach to evaluate temperature and heat partition in machining with multilayer coated tools
2003
Abstract In this paper, analytical models for estimating the interface temperature and heat partition to the chip in continuous dry machining of steels with flat-faced tools treated with multilayer coatings are presented. The database for modeling includes changes in the thermal properties of both workpiece and substrate/coating materials and the Peclet and Fourier numbers occurring at actual interface temperatures. Process outputs involve the average tool–chip interface temperature, the tool–chip contact length, the friction energy and the heat balance between the moving chip and stationary tool. It was found that the heat partition coefficient varies significantly from 0.65 to 0.8 when us…
Part program automatic check for three axis CNC machines
2001
Abstract The simulation and verification of NC codes for CNC machining is a very important task. The aim of this work is to limit the number of cutting tests needed to verify the right writing of the part program for a CN milling machine in the intent of saving time, human resources and money. This is obtained through the Boolean operation among solids, in AutoCAD environment, of the volume covered by the tool during the operations ruled by the part program.
