Description
Summary:This paper presents an online prediction of tool wear using acoustic emission (AE) in turning titanium (grade 5) with PVD-coated carbide tools. In the present work, the root mean square value of AE at the chip–tool contact was used to detect the progression of flank wear in carbide tools. In particular, the effect of cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut on tool wear has been investigated. The flank surface of the cutting tools used for machining tests was analyzed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy technique to determine the nature of wear. A mathematical model for the prediction of AE signal was developed using process parameters such as speed, feed, and depth of cut along with the progressive flank wear. A confirmation test was also conducted in order to verify the correctness of the model. Experimental results have shown that the AE signal in turning titanium alloy can be predicted with a reasonable accuracy within the range of process parameters considered in this study.
