    Editorial CSIC
    The aim of this work is the study of the machinability of aluminium-silicon carbide Metal Matrix Composites (MMC) in turning operations. The cutting tools used were hard metal (WC) with and without coating, different grades and geometries of Poly-Crystalline Diamond (PCD) and Mono-Crystalline Diamond (MCD). The work piece material was AMC225xe, composed of aluminium-copper alloy AA 2124 and 25% wt of SiC, being the size of the SiC particles around 3 μm. Experiments were conducted at various cutting speeds and cutting parameters in facing finishing operations, measuring the surface roughness, cutting forces and tool wear. The worn surface of the cutting tool was examined by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). It was observed that the Built Up Edge (BUE) and stuck material is higher in the MCD tools than in the PCD tools. The BUE acts as a protective layer against abrasive wear of the tool.

    Summary: Polyamide 6 (PA6)/multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposites have been prepared by an extrusion process assisted by ultrasounds. The ultrasounds system has been incorporated at the extrusion die, when the material is flowing through the exit channel. The application of an ultrasound field to a polymer melt has been shown a very efficient method to improve productivity of the process. When ultrasounds are applied, the extrudate flow is highly enhanced maintaining the same processing conditions. In addition, the ultrasounds contribute to the deagglomeration of CNTs into the matrix, as can be conclude from the drop in the electrical resistivity values of the nanocomposites observed when ultrasounds are applied. For the system PA6/MWCNT 7wt%., the electrical resistivity increases three orders of magnitude when ultrasounds are employed during the extrusion. In addition, a high reduction in the electrical percolation index is obtained for nanocomposites extrudated by the assistance of ultrasounds.

    espanolLas propiedades mecanicas de las ceramicas tecnicas son adecuadas para aplicaciones en diferentes sectores como la medicina (protesis,...), automovil (rodamientos,….), aeroespacial (loseta,…), optica (laser,…), etc. donde se requieren caracteristicas como la gran resistencia al desgaste, alta dureza y estabilidad termoquimica. Sin embargo, la fabricacion de estos materiales es dificil y costosa, en algunos casos alcanzando el 90% del coste final, por lo que su aplicacion esta limitada. Este trabajo presenta el mecanizado por ultrasonidos rotatorio (RUM) como un proceso no convencional que permite la fabricacion de piezas ceramicas con geometrias 3D complejas de manera ecologica y economica. Este metodo consiste en la eliminacion de material utilizando una herramienta superabrasiva dotada de 3 movimientos: rotacion, vibracion axial ultrasonica (20 KHz) y avance contra la pieza fija. Este proceso combina el rectificado convencional y el mecanizado por ultrasonidos logrando mayores volumenes de material evacuado manteniendo las fuerzas de corte bajas. De esta manera, se superan las limitaciones de los metodos convencionales utilizados actualmente, obteniendo procesos mas precisos, flexibles y economicos. En definitiva, el RUM es un proceso prometedor para las operaciones de mecanizado de ceramicas estructurales. Sus caracteristicas permitiran fomentar el uso de las ceramicas en un mayor numero de aplicaciones industriales. EnglishThe advanced properties of engineering ceramics are suitable to meet the requirements of several engineering applications such as medical (prosthesis…), automotive (bearing...), aerospace (tiles,...), optics (lasers,…) and so on, where high hardness, high wear resistance and thermo chemical stability are needed. However, the processing of these materials is difficult and costly, in some cases up to 90% of the price, which leads ceramics to limited applications. Rotary Ultrasonic Machining (RUM) is presented as a non conventional environmental-friendly and cost effective process that enables to obtain complex 3D shape ceramic products. A rotating tool with metal-bonded diamond abrasives is ultrasonically vibrated (typically 20KHz) and fed toward to the fixed workpiece at a constant pressure or a constant feed rate This process combines conventional grinding and ultrasonic machining, offering the possibility of increased material removal rates while keeping the machining forces low. Thus, the limitations of actually used conventional processes are overcome introducing more accurate, flexible and cost effective process capabilities. On balance, RUM is a promising process for primary machining operations on structural ceramic components. Its features will lead to enhance the use of ceramics in more industrial applications by increasing product development/design capabilities, high added value products and sustainable process.

  • FEM based design of a chip breaker for the machining with PCD tools
    Oscar Gonzalo, Iban Quintana, and Jon Etxarri

    Trans Tech Publications, Ltd.
    This paper presents a methodology to design and manufacture a chip breaker in a PCD turning tool. The objective is to avoid the surface roughness and chip evacuation problems produced by long chips in turning processes. An analysis of the process is made to design a suitable chip breaker shape for semi-roughing and finishing operations in aluminum turning. FEM simulation and experimental test are used to understand the chip formation and breakage processes leading to improved chip breaker geometry. The new designed geometries are micromachined with laser in the PCD tools, and the improvement in the chip control is proved experimentally.

  • Advances in the ecological machining of magnesium and magnesium-based hybrid parts

    The automotive sector is demanding lighter components being the combination of different materials as an alternative solution to obtain an optimised performance. However, the machining of parts built on magnesium, Magnesium-Aluminium (Mg-Al) or Magnesium-Sintered (Mg-Sint) steel bases is not quite extended, and the technical and safety limitations associated to it are not well-controlled. The machining of two different materials in a single operation demands to reach a compromise between different cooling-lubricant, machinability and machine?tool requirements. This paper shows advances in the machining of a magnesium alloy and magnesium-based hybrid parts under environmentally friendly strategies using dry and Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) conditions.

  • Turning performance optimisation of aeronautical materials by using high pressure cooling technology
    Carmen Sanz, Elena Fuentes, and Oscar Gonzalo

    Inderscience Publishers
    Machining assisted with high pressure cutting fluid is an effective method in turning operations, which allows to overcome the problems presented in the conventional turning of poor machinability materials. These problems arise as consequence of the difficult evacuation from the heat generated during the cutting process, the premature adhesion of the machined material to the cutting tool and the complex removal of the long chips from the cutting zone. The application of cutting fluid with this technique causes a hydraulic pressure between the chip and the rake face of the tool with very positive effect on machining, as chip size and cutting forces reduction and lower tool wear. Advantages of turning assisted with high pressure coolant (140 bars) in comparison to conventional pressure of 2 bars have been shown in roughing and finishing machining tests carried out on three aeronautical materials: Ti6Al4V, Inconel 718 and Steel MSRR6503 EAK.
