In 2014, the Scientific Technical Committee Cutting STC “C” continued its dedicated work of the past under the current officers: Chair: M. Davies, Vice Chair: R. M’Saoubi, Secretary, D. Biermann. The group held two meetings in 2014: on January 23rd in Paris, France and on August 28th, in Nantes, France.
During 2014, some of the topics discussed in STC ”C” were machining of aerospace materials (CFRP and multi-layer metallic-composite stack materials), temperature measurement, machinability of high-strength bainitic steels and aluminum-alloyed UHC-steel, PVD coatings, micro-machining, surface integrity, tool edge specification and modeling, modeling and simulation of cutting forces, residual stress, phase transformations, microstructure and heat partitioning.
STC “C” meeting in Paris, January 2014
At the Paris meeting – attended by 65 members, 17 research affiliates, and 23 guests, the following cooperative work and technical contributions were made:
Presentation of cooperative work in STC “C” was given by K.D. Bouzakis. He presented the results of the activities with respect to the “effect of cutting edge preparation of coated tools on their performance in milling various materials” (K.-D. Bouzakis, N. Michailidis, G.Skordaris, E. Bouzakis, S. Kombogiannis). In total 26 participants took part in this cooperative work. PVD coated inserts with various edge preparations were tested in milling operation for a range of work materials (42CrMo4, AISI304L, IN718, Ti6Al4V). The results of the work are published in the following paper: “Effect of cutting edge preparation of coated tools on their performance in milling various materials”, Bouzakis, K.D., Bouzakis, E., Kombogiannis, S., Makrimallakis, S., Skordaris, G., Michailidis, N., Charalampous, P., Paraskevopoulou, R., M'Saoubi, R., Aurich, J.C., Barthelmä, F., Biermann, D., Denkena, B., Dimitrov, D., Engin, S., Karpuschewski, B., Klocke, F., Özel, T., Poulachon, G., Rech, J., Schulze, V., Settineri, L., Srivastava, A., Wegener, K., Uhlmann, E., Zeman, P., CIRP Journal of Manufacturing Science and Technology, Volume 7, Issue 3, August 2014, Pages 264-273, Elsevier Ltd., DOI: 10.1016/j.cirpj.2014.05.003
