Machining mechanics and induced surface integrity in micro-cutting

他提出的研究旨在更好地了解微尺度加工操作中切屑形成的机制及其对零件质量的影响，以更好地支持刀具供应商在优化刀具和工艺设计中嵌入工艺知识。该项目与先进制造研究中心密切合作，候选人将使用各种实验技术和建模方法来研究变形和切屑形成的机制。切削过程将集中在材料微观结构的尺度上，并了解加工对部件使用寿命和刀具性能的影响。该候选人将与先进制造研究中心（谢菲尔德大学）以及英国和瑞典SECO工具的专家密切合作。更广泛的工业参与也是目标，以确保该项目得到案例研究驱动的工业挑战的补充。

he proposed research aims to better understand the mechanics of chip formation and its effect on parts quality in the micro-scale machining operations to better support cutting tool providers with embedded process knowledge in an optimised tool and process design. The project is in close collaboration with the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre and the candidate will use variety of experimental techniques and modelling methods to investigate the mechanics of deformation and chip formation. The cutting process will be focused at the scale of the materials microstructure and understand the machining induced effect on the service life of the components as well as the cutting tool performance. The candidate will work closely with experts at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (the University of Sheffield) as well as SECO Tools both in the UK and Sweden. Wider industrial engagement is also being targeted to ensure the project is complemented by case study driven industrial challenges in this space.
