Item Open Access Influence of tool wear on machining forces and tool deflections during micro milling(Springer, 2016) Oliaei, S. N. B.; Karpat, Y.Tool wear on the cutting edges of micro end mills is an important issue affecting process outputs such as tool deflections and surface roughness, especially when difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys, stainless steel, etc. are machined at micro scale. An understanding of the interactions between tool wear, machining forces, tool deflections, and surface roughness is important in order to maintain component quality requirements. However, in literature, the number of studies concerning tool wear in micro end mills is limited. The goal of the paper is to better understand tool wear patterns (flank wear, edge rounding) of micro end mills and their relationship to machining parameters. In this study, first, the influence of tool wear on micro milling forces and surface roughness parameters is analyzed and favorable micro milling process parameters are identified. It is shown that, when machining with worn end mills, forces are affected by the tool wear patterns. Then, the influence of increased milling forces due to tool wear on tool deflections and tool breakage is studied using both experimental techniques and finite element analysis. The finite element model-based tool deflection and tool breakage predictions are validated through experiments. The results of this study can be used in process parameter selection in pocket micro milling operations and tool condition monitoring systems.Item Open Access Temperature dependent energy relaxation time in AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructures(2012) Tiras, E.; Celik O.; Mutlu, S.; Ardali, S.; Lisesivdin, S.B.; Özbay, EkmelThe two-dimensional (2D) electron energy relaxation in Al 0.25Ga 0.75N/AlN/GaN heterostructures was investigated experimentally by using two experimental techniques; Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) effect and classical Hall Effect. The electron temperature (T e) of hot electrons was obtained from the lattice temperature (T L) and the applied electric field dependencies of the amplitude of SdH oscillations and Hall mobility. The experimental results for the electron temperature dependence of power loss are also compared with the current theoretical models for power loss in 2D semiconductors. The power loss that was determined from the SdH measurements indicates that the energy relaxation of electrons is due to acoustic phonon emission via unscreened piezoelectric interaction. In addition, the power loss from the electrons obtained from Hall mobility for electron temperatures in the range T e > 100 K is associated with optical phonon emission. The temperature dependent energy relaxation time in Al 0.25Ga 0.75N/AlN/GaN heterostructures that was determined from the power loss data indicates that hot electrons relax spontaneously with MHz to THz emission with increasing temperatures. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
