    Trimming the scrap portion of ultra-high strength steel (UHSS) components poses a significant challenge due to the inherent high strength and hardness characteristics of the material. For UHSS components with a higher geometric complexity such consisting of inclined and curved sections, sharp tilt, and small bend radius, the large trimming load results in poor sheared quality and shape defects, which commonly happen in these areas. This research investigated the effects of applying a small inclination angle to the punch in the trimming of the UHSS parts having an inclined and curved shape. The inclined punch was modified to four sets of different degrees of inclination i.e., 1°, 3°, 5°, and 10°. A comparative analysis of the trimming load, trimming energy, sheared edge quality and shape defects was conducted between these modified punches and the normal punch for their effectiveness in the trimming operation. Results showed that the application of inclination angle significantly decreased the trimming load, reduced the trimming energy, and improved the sheared edge surface quality, as well as prevented the shape defects at the inclined and curved zones as compared to the outcomes produced when trimming using the normal punch. The study suggested that the change to the punch geometry is an effective option to improve the performance of the process as well as the quality of the part, particularly in trimming the high-strength components having complex shapes.

    Aluminum alloys are popularly used in the aerospace industry due to their lightweight and high strength-to-weight ratio. However, cutting these alloys can result in various machinability issues such as tool wear, built-up edges, and material adherence on the cutting tool. To address these issues and minimize the use of lubricants, researchers are exploring alternative greener techniques. One such technique is the use of nano lubrication technology. In this research, the consequence of three cutting techniques - dry cutting, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), and MQL dispersed with graphene nanoparticles - was experimentally studied to assess their impact on hole quality, surface roughness, and the number of holes drilled. The findings showed that the addition of graphene nanoparticles improved roughness quality, reduced tool wear, and increased the number of holes drilled, but had less impact on hole accuracy. This study highlights the importance of nanoparticles in enhancing the machinability of aluminum alloys and offers promising avenues for future research in this area.

    The abstract should summarize the contents of the paper in short terms, i.e. 150–250 words. Aluminum alloy 7075 are used in a variety of applications particularly in automotive and aerospace industry owing to their features of lightweight, high-strength and corrosion resistant properties. However, build up edge (BUE) and material adhesion either on cutting tool or workpiece render these materials difficult to machine. Their machining is associated with rapid tool wear and poor workpiece quality. Cutting fluids are currently the common solution to these problems although there are concerns on their use in terms of health footprint and environmental effects. Thus, new innovations are crucial to enhance the machinability as well as diminishing hazards through encouraging greener machining techniques. In this research, the use of solid lubricants; graphene and hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles to augment minimum quantity lubricant were researched in macro drilling. Effects of four different machining conditions namely dry, minimum quantity lubricant, minimum quantity lubricant dispersed with graphene and hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles were investigated on their progressive tool wear behavior. A notable finding is that the nanoparticles of solid lubricants had a significant factor in improving machinability of aluminum alloy 7075 compared to dry and minimum quantity lubricant alone. It was observed that the use of minimum quantity lubricant dispersed with hexagonal boron nitride demonstrated desirable tool life enhancement, tool wear reduction and number of holes drilled increment.

    In mold production, end milling with tool path strategies is required for the process known as pocket operation. Different step overs involve depending on the type of tool path strategy used. Thus, different engagement will occur and leads to fluctuation of cutting force due to different step over during the process. However, most of study before focused on the effect of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut only in machining AISI P20. Thus, in this study, step over will be considered as one of the factor to improve machining force. The objective of this study are to evaluate the effect of cutting parameters and step over on cutting force and to study the behavior of cutting force for different tool engagement. A series of milling operation was carried out by varying cutting speed and feed rate. However, the depth of cut was set to 0.25 mm for each run. Step over with 100%, 75% and 50% were selected in this study. L27 Taguchi and S/N ratio were used to determine the significant factors that influence the result. Within the range of cutting parameters selected, feed rate were found to be the most significant parameters that influence cutting force. The highest cutting force found for 100% step over compared to 75% and 50% step over. According to the result, cutting force increased as the step over increased. In can be concluded that, step over is one of the important cutting parameter that affected machining output.

    Cobalt-Chromium Molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy is categorized under hard to cut material due to its unique combination characteristics such as high strength and low thermal conductivity. However, there was a problem during machining hard alloy material which is rapid tool wear. The tool wear will cause changes at tooltip geometry consequently has significant influence on the chip forming. There are some factors that influence tool wear which are cutting parameters, type of drill bit, and cutting fluids. In this study, a series of experiment were conducted to investigate the effect of cooling conditions on tool wear and chip formation during drilling this material. The cooling conditions used were dry, pure Karanja oil (MQL condition), and combination of Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles with Karanja oil (MQL condition). The experiment was conducted under constant cutting speed of 20 m/min, and feed rate of 0.07 mm/rev through holes. Each hole was inspected when the tool wear reached 0.3 mm. The result showed that mixed of hBN with Karanja Oil (MQL condition) had lowest growth of flank wear and produced more holes compared to dry and pure Karanja oil condition. In addition, for chip formation, the size of lamellae produced was finest compared to other conditions.
