This study investigated the effects of different cutting conditions, including dry, flooded,
chilled air, and the minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), on cutting forces, burr width, tool …

During micro-milling, the regular top-burrs usually bend in a direction laterally opposite to
the milled feature. This top-burr morphology changes as the cutting edge condition …

When a cutting tool shears through a workpiece, the interaction causes wear of the tool
which is based on relative hardness, surface characteristics of the tool and the workpiece …

In mechanical micro-cutting, a Minimum Undeformed Chip Thickness (MUCT) is desired to
ensure chip formation by the round-edged tool. Although the MUCT controls several …

Improving the material removal rate (MRR) can significantly enhance the efficiency of the
milling operations during machining. However, increasing MRR develops a larger degree of …

Micro-milling is widely used to make micro-channels in various fields. In this study, micro-
milling of rectangular bronze microchannels was carried out with carbide end mills with a …

The thermal issues generated from friction are the key obstacle in the high‐performance
machining of titanium alloys. The friction between the workpiece being cut and the cutting …

Industry 4.0 drives the traditional “high-touch”(manpower-intensive) sectors for digital
transformation toward “high-tech”(technology-intensive) sectors through strategic adaptation …

Ultra-fine finished components produced through micromachining are crucial for fabricating
3D micro-products in fields such as optical, biomedical, chemical and electro-mechanical …
