Conclusions and Future Work Conclusions The work presented in this thesis investigates the ductile-mode machining of brittle materials by endmilling. Endmilling is a transient cutting process and is different from the single-point cutting process. Due to the typical scope of the process, the endmilling has been used to produce crack-free machined surfaces on brittle workmaterial in this study. Feed per edge has been identified as the dominant parameter to achieve crack-free machined surface on brittle material by endmilling. a) The first analytical model presented determines the critical undeformed chip thickness for ductile-brittle transition based on the Griffith energy balance theorem. It determines the critical chip thickness as a function of cutting edge geometry and material properties. The cutting edge geometry is mainly responsible for producing the cutting forces and consequently distribution of cutting forces whereas material properties govern the extent of plastic deformation and onset of brittle fracture. The proposed model has been validated experimentally. b) The second and most important contribution is made by determination of the critical feed per edge for ductile-brittle transition as a function of material properties and cutting edge geometry. The model is unique in a sense that most of the previous analytical models presented with single-edge cutting tool were focused on determination of ductile-brittle transition point in terms of critical undeformed chip thickness whilst this model determines the processing parameter based on the indentation test results. It provides a way to achieve crack-free surface on brittle material without too much experimental trial. 162 Conclusions and future work c) The third contribution is the determination of the possible zones or regimes in endmilling of brittle materials. It has been established that the subsurface damage depth is an important consideration to achieve the maximum permissible material removal in ductile-mode. Based on the mutual relationship of radial depth of cut and subsurface damage depth, there are four possible regimes of machining i.e. pure ductile-mode, ductile-mode with plowing, ductile-brittle mode with crack-free final machined surface and brittle mode machining. d) The fourth contribution is made to determine the influence of tool diameter on the ductile-brittle transition in endmilling of brittle material. Previously, there was the usual misconception that only the geometry of cutting edge can influence the ductilebrittle transition, but this model has clearly indicated that the diameter of endmill can have a significant impact on the critical conditions and a cutter of larger diameter gives higher value of critical feed per edge. e) The experimental contribution has focused on two important approaches i.e. machining ultra-precision slots by flat endmill and machining deep slots by ball-end mill. In slot-milling, brittle-fracture occurred for very small critical feed per edge due to different mechanism of cutting involved from peripheral milling process. The slotmilling, especially those cutting deeper slots by ball-milling is a contribution to the fabrication of microfluidic devices and biomedical slides containing various patterns of slots/channels on brittle material such as glass and silicon. 9.2. Future work Ductile-mode milling process is a relatively less explored area of research and still there are number of aspects that need to be researched such as detailed mechanism of cutting in ball-end milling, determination of critical chip thickness in ball-end milling, 163 Conclusions and future work influence of coolant on ductile-brittle transition, the chip formation mechanism in ball-end milling etc. Another important consideration in ductile-mode milling process is the influence of temperature on ductile-brittle transition mechanism. In ductilemode machining, the energy consumed in plastically deforming and removing the material is eventually converted into heat energy. This heat is supplemented by the heat from two other sources i.e. heat generated due to friction at the tool-chip interface and heat generated at the flank face of the tool due to friction between the elastic recovery of newly machined surface and flank face of the tool. This total heat content can be significant and may influence the material properties in the cutting zone. The future work may focus on numerical method to estimate the total temperature in the cutting zone due to these three phenomenons and its effect especially on glass that has lower softening point compared to the softening point of some brittle ceramics. The heat generation at very high cutting speed can adversely affect the texture and integrity of the machined surface. The future work may also focus on the surface integrity analysis involving measurement of residual stress due to heat effect at high cutting speed and different combination of machining parameters that are responsible for producing different patterns of stress distribution in the cutting zone and hence affecting the surface state accordingly. 164 Bibliography Bibliography Ajjarapu, S.K., Fesperman, R.R., Patten, J.A. and Cherukuri, H.P.
