OPTIMIZATION OF TURNING PARAMETERS USING AN ALGORTIM BASED ON COMBINED LINEAR AND BINARY SEARCH METHODS

Optimization of cutting parameters in machining operations is a complex task requiring extensive knowledge and experience to reach the maximum potential for cost reductions in manufacturing. Through the work presented in this paper a cutting parameters optimization algorithm for roughing and finishing turning has been realized. The proposed optimization algorithm is based on a combination of linear search and binary search methods, heaving as objective criterion the minimization of the machining time. Examples for roughing and finishing turning have been presented to illustrate the application of the proposed algorithm and analyse the results

NEW CHALLENGES IN ABRASIVE WATER JET MACHINING

Abrasive water jet machining (AWJM) is one of the most important method used in cutting different types of materials: alloy sheet, marble, glass, rocks. This process is used in the aeronautic, automotive, metallurgy industries and even in some art techniques and textile industry. The method consists in transforming the kinetic energy of a solid particle directed with water jet at a high pressure to remove material through erosion and abrasion. AWJM is low cost equipment compared to other conventional cutting technologies. This paper is an attempt to review the achievements made in AWJM technology for different hardness materials

TENDENCIES IN FORMING SHEET METAL PARTS USING INCREMENTAL FORMING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

Stretch forming of sheet metal materials is a highly required process in aerospace industry for manufacturing skin parts. Automation of some processes such as cutting, punching, forming, shearing and nesting in conventional manufacturing tends to combine these forming methods. Some researches are made on the formability of sheet metal materials obtained in incremental forming process with stretch forming and water jet incremental micro-forming with supporting dies. This paper is an attempt to review the newly researches made on optimization of manufacturing metal skin parts to achieve geometrical accuracy

MAGNESIUM ALLOY AZ31B FORMING LIMIT CURVE USING THE NAKAZIMA TEST

The behaviour of a metal sheet when forming can be predicted with accuracy if the forming limit curve is known (FLC). Generating an FLC is a two-step process that involves forming the material blanks and measuring the strain. This can be done by using the Marciniak or Nakazima tests. In this experimental paper, the Nakazima test was used and is conducted using a hemispherical punch, retaining plate, and draw beads, to prevent the blank from slipping, along with the ARAMIS digital image correlation (DIC) system, used for measuring. Metal sheets of magnesium alloy AZ31B were used, with thicknesses of 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm. The settings of the testing equipment have been selected to allow the material to break at different strains: from uniaxial to biaxial stretches. Each specimen represents specific stress in the strain limit diagram. The geometries of the material and its thicknesses have the same leading role in creating tensions. Compared to the tensile compression test, this test confirms better formability of sheets with a thickness of 0.5 mm
