Numerical Study on Different Parameters of Tool Wear During Machining of Aluminum Metal-Based Composites

In this article, the effects of changing four different input parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, feed force in Z direction and force in Y direction on the output of tool wear in the machining process of aluminum metal base composite have been investigated. To numerically examine the influence of each parameter on the  desired composite machining process results, the E-fast sensitivity analysis procedure was used. E-fast method has a high speed in quantitative and qualitative data analysis. After conducting a sensitivity analysis, it was found that as the feed force increases in the X direction, the  tool wear increases with a significant slope. It was also observed that this parameter (feed force in  X direction) has the greatest impact on  tool wear compared to other input parameters with an amount of 88%. The parameters of feed rate, feed force in Z direction and cutting speed are effective on tool wear with negligible rates of 8%, 3% and 1%, respectively.
