Sudhakar R. Lohar, Pravin R. Kubade
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of AWJM parameters on MRR and SR while machining of high carbon high chromium steel (AISI D3) material. The parameters considered are water pressure, feed rate, abrasive flow rate and stand-off distance. The experiments were performed on the abrasive water jet machine. The experiments planned, conducted and analysed using Taguchi method. It is found that the MRR is mainly influenced by feed rate; where as other factors have very less effect on material removal rate. Similarly SR at Top and Bottom are measured and analysed. Abrasive Water jet machining (AWJM) is a non-conventional manufacturing process, where material is removed from the work piece by impact erosion of pressurized high velocity water stream mixed with high velocity grit abrasives on a work piece. There are so many process parameters which affect the quality of machined surface cut by AWJM. But, the traverse speed, hydraulic pressure, stand-off distance, abrasive flow rate and type of abrasive are important. However, the important performance measures in AWJM are Material Removal Rate (MRR), Surface Roughness (SR). This work reports influence of process parameters of AWJM in machining AISI D3 material.It was confirmed that optimal combination of AWJM process parameters satisfy the real need for machining of AISI D3 in actual practice.

Use of Shearing Operation for MS Bar Cutting by Pneumatic Bar Cutting Machine
Dayanand A. Ghatge, Charudatta Birje, Priyanka S. Yadav
Abstract: The bar cutting machine is used to cut mild steel bar by using shearing operation. Shearing operation uses punch and die. A punch (or moving blade) is used to push the work piece against the die (or fixed blade), which is fixed. Usually the clearance between the two is 5 to 10% of the thickness of the material, but dependent on the material. Clearance is defined as the separation between the blades, measured at the point where the cutting action takes place and perpendicular to the direction of blade movement. This causes the material to experience highly localized shear stresses between the punch and die. The material will then fail when the punch has moved 15 to 60% the thickness of the material, because the shear stresses are greater than the shear strength of the material and the remainder of the material is torn. Two distinct sections can be seen on a sheared work piece, the first part being plastic deformation and the second being fractured. Because of normal in homogeneities in materials and inconsistencies in clearance between the punch and die, the shearing action does not occur in a uniform manner. The fracture will begin at the weakest point and progress to the next weakest point until the entire work piece has been sheared. Keywords: Shearing operation, punch, die, cutting edge, pneumatic equipments.

Abstract: The findings of this paper are to study failure of grinding wheel by various methods. It also show that during grinding the grain is subjected to forces that create fracture initiation zones in the sharp abrasive grains where tensile and compressive stresses dominate in certain parts of the abrasive grains. The grinding process relies on wear of the abrasive wheel, and the rate of wear plays an important role in determining the efficiency of the grinding process and the quality of the work piece. Vitrified grinding wheels are typically used to remove large volumes of metal and to produce components with very high tolerances. It is expected that the same grinding wheel is used for both rough and finish machining operations. Therefore, the grinding wheel, and in particular its bonding system, is expected to react differently to a variety of machining operations. In order to maintain the integrity of the grinding wheel, the bonding system that is used to hold abrasive grains in place reacts differently to forces that are placed on individual bonding bridges. The structure of a vitrified grinding wheel is composed of abrasive particles, a bonding phase, and distributed porosity to collect detritus and provide access for lubricants. The approach used in this seminar is based on using finite elements to model fracture wear processes in vitrified grinding wheels. Keywords: Bond Faacture, Wear Model, Failure Model.

Abstract: Honing is an abrasive machining process that produces a precision surface on work piece by scrubbing an abrasive stone against it along a controlled path. Honing uses a honing stone or a hone, to achieve a precision surface. The hone is composed of abrasive grains that are bound together with an adhesive. It is used for surface finishing outer surface of the inner race and the inner surface of the outer race of taper roller bearings. It is bound to wear and tear. The honing stone is then manually adjusted so that the abrasive surface comes in contact with the material to be machined. Hence, the machine has to be stopped and the operator needs to adjust the stone accordingly. The stopping, adjusting and restarting of the machine increases the idle time of the machine. Therefore, it is necessary to automate this process. We will be using a position based process for the movement of the honing stone after the abrasive material is eroded by 2mm. This will decrease the idle time and increase the productivity. Keywords: Honing, Bearings, Wear of stone, Automation.

Optimization of Surface Roughness using Taguchi Approach with Minimum Quantity Lubrication for Turning EN-8 Steel
V.N. Gandhe, H.K. Shete, R. N. Panchal, A.P. Kanunje, P.S. Gunavant
Abstract: Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) has increasingly found its way into the area of metal cutting machining and in many areas, has already been established as an alternative to conventional wet processing. In contrast to flood lubrication, minimum quantity lubrication uses only a few drops of lubrication (approx. 5 ml to 100 ml per hour) in machining. This paper deals with a view to optimize the pressure (P) and flow rate (Q) of cutting fluid in MQL system with different type of cutting fluid to obtain improved machining performances in turning EN-8 steel by uncoated carbide insert in respect of tool wear. Fluid selection is important for MQL because it must be a superior fluid such as vegetable oil or synthetic oil. The costs of these superior fluids are higher but eliminate the need for costly fluid recycling and disposal services. MQL may be an ideal option because of the elimination of fluid waste while maintaining the benefits of using oil, but the specific fluid delivery method for individual facilities requires an in depth understanding of the technical aspects of MQL that could make it unfeasible to use this method.
