A Deep Study on Machine Learning Techniques for Tool Condition Monitoring in Turning of Titanium-based Superalloys.

Abstract

The current state-of-the-art review on tool condition monitoring for turning of titanium-based superalloys is presented in this paper. Titanium (Ti) superalloys are widely utilised in aerospace industry, automobile industry, petrochemical applications. Ti superalloys are also used in fabrication of biomedical components due to their outstanding combination of mechanical properties and strong corrosion resistance at extreme temperatures. But these superalloys are difficult-to-cut because to their low heat conductivity, low elastic modulus, high strength, and strong chemical resistance. Literature review highlights the drastic reduction in tool life of titanium superalloys at highspeed and feed rates throughout the machining process. The review paper focuses on (i) various reasons to deploy tool condition monitoring; and (ii) study of tool condition monitoring methods based on machine learning techniques to identify the ideal parameters for the prevention of catastrophic tool failure.
