The main aim of this paper is to assess the tool life T = f(vc) during the dry turning of 1.4301 austenitic stainless steel with a CNMG 120408 coated carbide cutting insert. Experimental tests of the selected material were realized in an Aero Turn BT-380 CNC machine tool with a Fanuc 21i TB control system. The effect of the applied cutting parameters on the surface finish, tool wear, tool life and surface roughness were investigated during the realized experiments. The aim of the present paper is to focus scientific research on the impact of the various cutting speeds during the outer longitudinal turning. The presented approach and results will be helpful for understanding the machinability of 1.4301 austenitic stainless steel during dry turning. This paper, together with the achieved results, is a basis to optimize the performance of the machining (i.e., turning) of austenitic stainless steel 1.4301 used for special industrial applications with their dominant functional areas.

This paper presents the influence of modeling and simulation techniques for hard milling and forming. The aim of these simulations is the ability to optimize the manufacturing technologies even before the real production of its own tools, because their manufacturing process is very difficult in terms of production time, materials and other costs. The simulated results visualize roughing and finishing process of milling and generate tool-paths in CATIA V5. Simulation results of forming realized in PAM-Stamp 2G using a 3D model of the punch and the blank confirm the suitability of the proposed design of the forming tool. Finally, hard milling and forming simulations in CAE systems CATIA V5 and PAM-Stamp 2G were performed in order to determine and evaluation of suitability of the proposed shapes of the forming tool.

The main aim of this scientific study is to assess the contribution of surface layers of alloy AlCu3MgMnPb by determining the experimental measurement of cutting forces in the turning technology with the coated carbide cutting insert. This experimental study is a continuation of the solutions of grant VEGA no. 1/9428/02 titled "The technological heredity of the machined surfaces -surface integrity". The first chapter of this paper discussed about the possibilities and technological challenges in turning of Al-alloys. The second chapter discusses about technological characteristics of cutting process and cutting forces. In the third and fourth chapter is described the measurement of cutting forces in turning by Kistler dynamometer. This paper, together with published results is a basis that will enable optimizing the quality of turning process, automotive parts of their dominant functional areas.
