    Using Servo-Drive Presses to Determine the Effect of Blank Holder Pressure on Temperature Change in Warm Forming of Sheet
    (Asme-amer Soc Mechanical Eng, 2011) Kaya, Serhat
    Heat transfer coefficient (HTC) is one of the most important and difficult-to-obtain parameter in high temperature environment. Contact pressure and workpiece surface roughness are among important parameters that affect the heat transfer in elevated temperature forming of sheets. In this study, HTCs are investigated experimentally by using a servo-drive press. With the flexibility that the servo-drive press offers, effect of various blank holder pressures on temperature change is determined. Before and after surface roughness conditions of aluminum and magnesium (from two different manufacturers) alloy sheets are compared. Experimental setup was modeled using deform 2D, and measured temperature curves were compared with the finite element analysis (FEA) predictions and a window of heat transfer coefficients were determined for warm forming of sheets. Determined heat transfer coefficients were implemented in a nonisothermal deep drawing FE model in deform 2D and results were compared with experiments. Good agreement was obtained between FEA predictions and experiments.

    An Experimental Investigation on the Effects of Combined Application of Ultrasonic Assisted Milling (uam) and Minimum Quantity Lubrication (mql) on Cutting Forces and Surface Roughness of Ti-6al

    Ti-6Al-4V is widely used in aerospace, medical and defense industries where materials with superior characteristics are needed. However, Ti-6Al-4V is categorized as a difficult-to-cut material, and machining of this alloy is highly challenging. Ultrasonic Assisted Milling (UAM) is a quite recent method to facilitate the machining of difficult-to-cut materials. This method has numerous advantages over the Conventional Milling (CM) method, such as reduced cutting forces and increased surface quality. Besides, Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is an alternative cooling method to enhance the process efficiency with respect to conventional cooling methods. Cutting force and surface roughness are essential measures to evaluate the cutting performance of a machining process. However, the simultaneous effects of implementing MQL and ultrasonic vibrations in milling operations are not much researched yet. In this study, the combined effects of UAM and MQL on cutting forces and surface roughness during the machining of Ti-6AL-4V are investigated. Results show that the combination of MQL and UAM enhances the cutting forces in rough cutting operations and the surface roughness in both finish and rough cutting operations significantly compared to conventional processes. Consequently, it is concluded that simultaneous implementation of UAM and MQL enhances overall cutting performance in end-milling operation of Ti-6Al-4V.
