Machinability investigation of Incoloy 825 in high-speed turning under dry conditions

ABSTRACT

The superalloys are hard to machine materials used in critical applications such as aeronautics and aerospace sectors. One of the most important parameters of the machinability tests is the surface roughness values, which enable us to determine the specific properties of the material measured from the surface of the materials being machined. So, this study proposes to advance a depth understanding of surface roughness evolution, of Incoloy 825 material, when is submitted to machining process. The machinability of Incoloy 825 superalloys were investigated by varying different high-speed machining parameters. Three different cutting tools (I, II and III), three different speeds (500, 1000 and 2000 m/min) and three different feed rates (0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 mm/rev) were chosen as parameters. The surface quality, chip formation and tool wear outputs of the Incoloy 825 machined workpiece were analyzed and optimum machining parameters were determined. The results indicate that the key parameters impressing the surface roughness, of the Incoloy 825 superalloy, are the cutting speed and feed rate, respectively. Further, the cutting tools investigated have not had a material impact on the surface roughness. The accelerated tool wear is driven by the cutting speeds as well. An overview of the results achieved in this study indicate that the optimal surface roughness value is reached when the following parameters are imposed: tools type: II, cutting speed: 1000 m/min and feed: 0.1 mm/rev.

1.INTRODUCTION

Superalloys are materials that have suitable properties such as superior strength, fatigue and corrosion resistance, and creep resistance at high temperatures, although they are difficult to machining [11 SARIKAYA, M., YILMAZ, V., GULLU, A., “Analysis of cutting parameters and cooling/lubrication methods for sustainable machining in turning of Haynes 25 superalloy”, Journal of Cleaner Production, v. 133, pp. 172-181, 2016.

All these applications are related to harsh environment (high temperatures and pressures, respectively) working condition.

One of the most important issues to be investigated in the machining industry is the machinability rating of the material, which is also expressed by the difficulty of processing the workpiece under the current conditions.

Although it is not only sufficient to have data about the material for efficient machining of the workpiece, it is also important to choose the correct cutting tool suitable for the material to be processed, to determine the machining parameters and to carry out experiments under suitable conditions. As a result of machining parameters which cannot be selected well during the machining stage, the cutting tool will wear faster, causing the workpiece not to be machined properly or the surface quality of the workpiece to deteriorate. This leads to some economic and time losses in the manufacturing sector where competition is quite high [1111 EZUGWU, E., “Key improvements in the machining of difficult-to-cut aerospace superalloys”, International Journal of Machine Tools and Manufacture, v. 45 pp. 1353-1367, 2005., 1515 ZHENG, G., XU, R., CHENG, X., et al., “Effect of cutting parameters on wear behavior of coated tool and surface roughness in high-speed turning of 300M”, Measurement, v. 125 pp. 99-108, 2018., 1616 BALOS, S., RAJNOVIC, D., SIDJANIN, L., et al., “Tensile and fatigue properties, machinability and machined surface roughness of Al-Si-Cu alloys”, Matéria (Rio de Janeiro), 24, 2019.]. The machinability of super alloy materials is more difficult than lightweight metals such as aluminum and magnesium which have high machinability rating. [1717 EZUGWU, E., WANG, Z., MACHADO, A., “The machinability of nickel-based alloys: a review, Journal of Materials Processing Technology, v. 86, pp. 1-16, 1999., 1818 KUMAR, C.S., PATEL, S.K., “Application of surface modification techniques during hard turning: Present work and future prospects”, International Journal of Refractory Metals and Hard Materials, v. 76, pp. 112-127, 2018.]. Al, Co, Zr, Fe, Mo, Nb and B elements are added to nickel-based superalloys to provide high creep performance, excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance at high temperatures. The nickel-based superalloys have superior mechanical and corrosion resistance, therefore, are widely used in aerospace applications in medium to high-temperature applications. However, it is difficult to process these materials cause their workability properties are low. In these materials, the main concentrate is on the investigation of surface texture, cutting force, tool wear mechanism, and tool life in different machining processes [1919 KUNTOĞLU, M., SAGLAM, H., “Investigation of progressive tool wear for determining of optimized machining parameters in turning”, Measurement, v. 140, pp. 427-436, 2019.

The work by Palanisamy and Selvaraj [2323 PALANISAMY, A., SELVARAJ, T. “Optimization of Machining Parameters for Dry Turning of Incoloy 800H Using Taguchi-Based Grey Relational Analysis”, Materials Today: Proceedings, v. 5, pp. 7708-7715, 2018.] was made to come up with the most suitable factors for the machining of superalloy (Incoloy 800H). They researched the effects of different cutting parameters on the surface characteristic feature of Incoloy 800H material. Joshi et al. [2424 JOSHI, K.K., “An Experimental Investigations in Turning of Incoloy 800 in Dry, MQL and Flood Cooling Conditions”, Procedia Manufacturing, v. 20, pp. 350-357, 2018.] examined the impact of turning the Incoloy 800 material in different parameters to the surface quality and tool wear in different environments (dry, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and flood) was analyzed. In the experiments performed in MQL environment, the best surface roughness was obtained, and the tool wear was found to be the least. Liu et al. [2525 LIU, G., HUANG, C., ZHU, H., et al., “The modified surface properties and fatigue life of Incoloy A286 face-milled at different cutting parameters”, Materials Science and Engineering: A, v. 704, pp. 1-9, 2017.] studied the machinability of Incoloy A286. They measured and analyzed surface turning properties, surface properties, and fatigue life at different cutting parameters (shear rate, feed rate, and depth). It has been revealed that the cutting parameters can significantly change the surface texture and surface yield strength, and the workpiece has a more pronounced effect on fatigue life. Eskandari et al. [2626 ESKANDARI, B., DAVOODI, B., GHORBANI, H., “Multi-objective optimization of parameters in turning of N-155 iron-nickel-base superalloy using gray relational analysis”, Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering, v. 40, pp. 233, 2018.] conducted a study to optimize the surface properties and the bulk of the removed material using the GRA method. Eskandari et al., detected the control factors as the depth of cut, feed rate, and cutting speed were selected, and optimum parameter values were determined. Palanisamy et al. [2727 ANGAPPAN, P., THANGIAH, S., SUBBARAYAN, S., “Taguchi-based grey relational analysis for modeling and optimizing machining parameters through dry turning of Incoloy 800H”, Journal of Mechanical Science and Technology, v. 31, pp. 4159-4165, 2017.] investigated the Incoloy 800H superalloy in different processing parameters of the turning and optimization parameters were carried out. The surface roughness, cutting power and cutting force parameters were minified, the material removal rate was exaggerated. Also, chip morphology were examined. In the study conducted by Palanisamy and Selvaraj [2828 PALANISAMY, A., SELVARAJ, T. Optimisation of turning parameters on heat treated INCOLOY 800H using cryogenically treated CVD tool with grey-based entropy method, International Journal of Machining and Machinability of Materials, v. 20, pp. 401-424, 2018.] was carried out the turning effect over the thermal treated superalloy by employing cryogenic process chemical vapour deposition (CVD)-coated TiAlN tool. The results of thrust, shear, surface roughness, insert temperature, material removal rate, and friction coefficient was obtained. In other studies, surface roughness, microhardness, work hardening, and material removal rates were taken into consideration [2929 PALANISAMY, A., SELVARAJ, T., SIVASANKARAN, S., “Optimization of Turning Parameters of Machining Incoloy 800H Superalloy Using Cryogenically Treated Multilayer CVD-Coated Tool”, Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering, pp. 1-14, 2018.]. Thakur and colleagues enquired the machinability of Incoloy 825 workpiece using different cutting tools. Experiments were performed by determining feed rate and different cutting speeds. The effects of different cutting tools on the tool wear, cutting force, surface roughness, friction coefficient, cutting temperature, chip thickness were investigated [3030 THAKUR, A., GANGOPADHYAY, S., MAITY, K. et al., “Evaluation on effectiveness of CVD and PVD coated tools during dry machining of Incoloy 825”, Tribology Transactions, v. 59, pp. 1048-1058, 2016.]. Venkatesana et al. studied the turning of Incoloy 800H workpiece under different conditions (different concentrations of Al2O3-added coconut oil) and different machining parameters. Effects of machining parameters on force, wear and surface texture were investigated and appropriate parameters were optimized [3131 VENKATESANA, K., DEVENDIRANB, S., GHAZALYC, N.M., et al., “Optimization of Cutting Parameters on turning of Incoloy 800H using Al2O3 Nanofluid in Coconut oil”, Procedia Manufacturing, v. 30, pp. 268-275, 2018.].

Despite large amount of literature for machining of difficult-to-cut materials (such as superalloys, steels, Ti alloys), there is no systematic study concentrated on high speed machining of these materials. Therefore, in this study we present a systematic evaluation to find the optimum parameters when machining Incoloy 825 superalloy, which allows a higher productivity for industrial sector. The evolution of surface roughness was investigated to detect the best input parameters (tools type, cutting speed, and feed rate) and tool wear, and chip formation were characterized accordingly. To reduce the potential matrix protocol, the design of experiments was outlined by applying L9 orthogonal Taguchi method. In this study, the effect of surface roughness, tool wear, and chip formation on the different parameters (tools type, cutting speed, and feed rate) of the Incoloy 825 face turning process was investigated.

2. MATERIALS AND METHODS

2.1. Materials

Incoloy 825 discs were put into practice for machinability experiments. These discs are 115 mm and 50 mm. The content of Incoloy 825 is mainly based on Ni, Cr and Fe elements. The chemical composition ratios of the materials in the Incoloy 825 superalloy are presented in Table 1. The production phase of the material, solution annealing was performed with water at 1020 °C for 5 hours. After this process, precipitation hardening was carried out for 2 hours at 750 °C. Before turning, the hardness value of the material was measured as 35.1 HRC. The yield strength of the Incoloy 825 superalloy was measured as 771 N/mm2 and the tensile strength as 1102 N/mm2. The above-mentioned discs are commercially available from Germany. The experiments were carried out on the same disc.

2.2. Experiments

The experimental methodology is shown in Figure 1. A Liouy Hsing GNC-450L CNC lathe were used to simulate the face turning process, as depicted in Figure 2. Face turning operations were accomplished by designing different parameters for machining experiments. DNMG 150608 cutting tools were used. The tool I was coated with TiAlSiN using the PVD, Tool II was coated TiCN/Al2O3 using the CVD and Tool III was TiAlN/TiN using the PVD. Considering the studies in the literature, three different face turning parameters (tools, cutting speed, and feed rate) and three different levels of these parameters were determined. These levels of control factors were selected according to previous studies, experience, and recommendations of the tool manufacturers (Table 2). These level values were adapted to the orthogonal array of Taguchi L9 shown in Table 3, and experiments were started.

The experimental setup

Taguchi method was taken into consideration while making the experimental design. This is because in traditional experimental designs, especially many experiments have to be performed and it is difficult to apply when the number of processing parameters is increased. Therefore, the Taguchi experimental design method allows more than one factor to be taken into account at the same time, but also provides the optimum result with less experimentation [3232 REIS, B.C.M., et al., “Influence of cutting tool material on the machinability of ABNT 4340 steel in turning”, Materia-Rio De Janeiro, v.24, 2019.

The Taguchi method can reduce the number of experiments without concluding the results [3737 MIA, M., DHAR, N.R., “Optimization of surface roughness and cutting temperature in high-pressure coolant-assisted hard turning using Taguchi method”, The International Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology, v. 88, pp. 739-753, 2017.]. If all the experiments had to be carried out, 3 × 3 × 3 = 27 experiments would have been necessary. The Taguchi method was used to avoid wasting time and material by doing so many experiments, thereby saving 2/3 of time and material.

2.3. Surface roughness

Surface profiles of the machined workpieces were measured using the Surftest SJ-210 (Mitutoyo), a contact-based profilometer with a 2µm stylus tip radius made of diamond, with a detector type of 60° and a detector measuring force of 0.75mN, following the JIS'01 guide. The cutting length and the evaluation length were fixed at 0.8 mm and 4 mm, respectively. The measurement speed is 0.75 mm/s and a Gaussian cutoff filter is used. The arithmetic mean surface roughness Ra and average roughness depth Rz of each sample were calculated from the average data of the five valid measurements.

3. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3.1. Experimental Results

After experiments with different face turning parameters, the surface roughness values of Incoloy 825, their standard deviations (SD), and the S/N ratio calculated from these values are depicted in Figure 3 and Table 4.

Table 4
Parameters and surface roughness results and calculated S/N ratios
Figure 3
Change of Ra results to calculated S/N ratios

The S/N ratios of the Ra values obtained in the experiments were calculated. When the graph is examined, it is seen that the Ra values obtained from the experiments on tool II are preferable the other tools. The Ra value is increased when the cutting speed increases from 1000 m/min to 2000 m/min, though the Ra value decreases from 500 m/min to 1000 m/min. This is because when high cutting speeds are reached, most of the chips move off the tool cutting edge and the heat generated by the high friction causes the chips to accumulate on the tool. Thus, it causes a decrease in surface quality [3838 MORELO, F., GRABARSKI, M.I., BELTRÃO, P.A.C., et al. “Surface integrity of bored super duplex stainless steel SAF 2507”, Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering, v. 39, pp. 2649–2658, 2017.

-4040 GUPTA, M.K., SOOD, P.K. “Surface roughness measurements in NFMQL assisted turning of titanium alloys: An optimization approach” Friction, v. 5(2), pp. 155–170, 2017.]. According to these results, the surface quality is the best when the speed is 1000m/min. In the study of Morelo et al. [3838 MORELO, F., GRABARSKI, M.I., BELTRÃO, P.A.C., et al. “Surface integrity of bored super duplex stainless steel SAF 2507”, Journal of the Brazilian Society of Mechanical Sciences and Engineering, v. 39, pp. 2649–2658, 2017.], It is stated that in order to obtain low surface roughness, the feed rate should be chosen low and the nose radius should be chosen relatively large. In this study, the same nose radius was selected for each tool and it was concluded that the surface roughness was reduced when a low feed rate was selected. Based upon of S/N ratio the optimized face-turning process parameters for accomplishment best Ra are Tool: II, the cutting speed 1000 m/min and feed rate: 0.2 mm/rev

3.2. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

Thanks to the variance analysis, the factors have an effect on the outcomes by calculating "degrees of freedom (DF), F value, P value, mean squares (MS), sum of squares (SS)" data. The purpose of ANOVA is to determine how the intended factors affect the output values and the factor that has the maximum impact [4141 MENDANHA REIS, B.C., SANTOS PEREIRA, N.F., SANTOS, A.J. et al., Influence of cutting tool material on the machinability of ABNT 4340 steel in turning, Materia-Rio De Janeiro, v. 24, 2019., 4242 CAGAN, S.C., BULDUM, B.B., OZKUL, I. “Experimental investigation on the ball burnishing of carbon fiber reinforced polymer”, Materials and Manufacturing Processes, v. 34, pp. 1062-1067, 2019.]. According to the applied ANOVA in this study, it is observed that the tools (8.9%), the cutting speed (12.5%) and feed rate (74.3%) play roles in minimizing the surface roughness (Table 5). After the tests applied to the Incoloy 825 workpiece, it turns out that the most notable factor affecting the Ra value is the feed rate. With the results obtained from the ANOVA F effects on the outputs of the parameters used in turning operations was calculated. In the calculated F value results, the greatest value indicates which parameter has the greatest effect on the outputs. Considering the data in Table 5, it is seen that the feed rate parameter is the most dominant factor affecting the Ra.

Table 5
ANOVA results for surface roughness

For calculations, the equations specified in 1-7 were used. The random change in the factor is measured by the "error sum of squares" (SSE). Depending on the differences between the factors, the variation called factor effect is measured by the "sum of squares between factors" (SSA). The total variability in data measured by total squares (SST) is divided into these two components, as in regression:

S S T = S S A + S S E (1)
S S T = Σ i = 1 k Σ j = l n ( y i j y ¯ ) 2 (2)
S S A = n Σ i = 1 k ( y i y ¯ ) 2 (3)
S S E = Σ i = 1 k Σ j = 1 n ( y i j y i ) 2 (4)

where k= number of factors, n= number of measurements, yij= j th measurement of factor i, y = overall sample mean of all factors, yi= sample mean of factor.

Factor mean squares (MSA) and error mean squares (MSE) are obtained by dividing the sum of the corresponding squares by their degrees of freedom. These degrees of freedom also depend on the size of the problem, that is, the number of factors and the number of measurements within the factors. The "Fcalc" value is calculated by dividing MSA by MSE.

M S A = S S A k 1 (5)
M S E = S S E k ( n 1 ) (6)
F c a l c = M S A M S E (7)

The feed rate ratio has great performance on turning process. The CNC lathe can fix the feed rate against diameter shifts. In surface roughness, the peaks and valleys depending on cutting tool movement on the surface. The peaks can be removed by the pitch of feed rate. The process parameters should allow optimal the chip removing time from the workpiece. Otherwise, the peaks and valleys appear on the surface as roughness. The other cutting speed parameter also depends on the feed rate. However, a major factor is generally feed rate in the turning process - the tool geometry and tip radius a parameter for defining the feed rate. Incompatible variable choices do not allow suitable cutting results [4343 BULDUM, B.B., CAGAN, S.C., “Study of Ball Burnishing Process on the Surface Roughness and Microhardness of AZ91D Alloy”, Experimental Techniques, v. 42, pp. 233-241, 2017.

3.3. Tool Wear

The images acquired after inspecting the tools used in different face turning parameters are presented in Figure 4. The wear patterns areas were indicated by arrows. When the graphics are examined, it appears that cutting speeds have an important effect on tool wear. As the cutting speeds increase, wear on the tools also increases. Although there is no significant wear at 500 m/min and 1000 m/min cutting speeds, it is seen that there is significant wear on the tools at 2000 m/min cutting speeds. When the surface roughness values and tool wear are examined together, the surface quality deteriorates with the increase in the feed rate. It is seen that cutting speed and different tool tips do not have a significant difference on the surface roughness and tool wear. Figure 4 also supports these comments.

Tool wear images at different face turning conditions

3.4. Chip Formation

Chip formation was investigated at different cutting conditions, as shown in Figure 5. The details examined from this figure reveals the heat-induced colour changes during cutting. They were indicated in the chips from experiments no: C2, C3, C5, and C6. These colour changes (from white colour in C1, orange/red colour in C3/C5 to dark blue colour in C6) indicate the release of excessive temperature on the cutting tool and material [4646 SHARMA, A.K., SINGH, R.K., DIXIT, A.R., et al., “Characterization and experimental investigation of Al2O3 nanoparticle based cutting fluid in turning of AISI 1040 steel under minimum quantity lubrication (MQL)”, Materials Today: Proceedings, v. 3, pp. 1899-1906, 2016.

47 RATH, D., PANDA, S., PAL, K., “Prediction of surface quality using chip morphology with nodal temperature signatures in hard turning of AISI D3 steel, Materials Today: Proceedings, v. 5, pp. 12368-12375, 2018.
-4848 PATHAN, A., KADAM, M., “Experimental study on effect of cutting parameters on chip-tool interface temperature and chip formation in turning EN-31 hardened steel under flooded and mql conditions”, International Journal of Innovative Science Engineering and Technology, v. 2, pp. 724-729, 2015.]. The temperature is a factor indicating a direct effect over the material characteristic and life of the insert, in the negative direction. In other experiments, there is a constant flow. However, no colour change was observed on the chips. It has been found that the diameter of the helix geometry formed by the chips is different concerning the feed rate and the cutting speed. The reason for the formation of C6 chips in blue is due to the high temperature in the cutting zone. The light gold colour of the C2, C3 and C5 chips is related to the fact that the temperature in the chip area is higher than normal. The chips of C1, C4, C7, C8, C9 are silver. These samples show that they are not affected by heat during the chip removal process. In Table 6, the types of chips generated after turning routine are categorized according to ISO 3685 standards [4949 ISO, 3685, Tool life testing with single-point turning tools, International Standard, (1993).]. Chip types can be evaluated in three aspects as process health (cutting health and operator safety), surface quality of the processed material, and cutting force assessment for the shape of the chips. Short chips are safer than long chips in terms of process health. Because long chips both endanger the health of the operator and also affect the quality of the surface by entangling the surface while the material is being machined.

4. CONCLUSIONS

In this study, the effect of different parameters on the surface roughness of the Incoloy 825 during machining was applied. Also, tool wear and chip formations were investigated at different machining conditions. The results obtained from the experiment are presented below:

  • The optimum parameter combination for the lowest Ra value was obtained using an analysis of the S/N ratio. The parameters for optimum Ra value and their levels are obtained as the Tools: Tool II, feed rate: 0.1 mm/rev and the cutting speed: 1000 m/min.

  • When the ANOVA results is examined, the feed rate is the most critical parameter on the Ra values of the Incoloy 825 workpiece, with a contribution ratio of 74.3%. It was observed that the cutting speed and the tools were 12.5% and 8.9%, respectively.

  • In general, the surface roughness values of the Incoloy 825 are directly proportional to the change in feed rate. In other words, as the feed rate decreases, the surface roughness decreases and increases as the feed rate increases. Increment of the cutting speed by a certain amount increases the surface quality; it is seen that the surface quality deteriorates after a certain value. The results show that the tools used in the experiments do not have a very notable effect on the surface quality.

  • When the surface roughness values and tool wear are examined together, the surface quality deteriorates with the increase of the feed rate. It appears that cutting speed and different tool inserts do not have a significant difference on surface roughness and tool wear. However, as high cutting speeds are reached, the amount of heat between the tool tip and the workpiece increases, causing both tool tip wear and deterioration of surface quality.
