SELECTION OF TOOLS AND MACHINING PARAMETERS FOR PIPE WALLS

Abstract

This review paper examines the techniques and factors involved in pipe wall processing, with a focus on the essential technologies utilized in this field. The study revealed crucial elements, such as ASTM A350-LF2 Class 1 carbon steel, renowned for its exceptional mechanical qualities and ability to withstand low temperatures. An exhaustive analysis has been conducted on the chemical makeup of this steel to comprehend its capacity to adjust and endure in various operational environments. The study focused on examining several particle separation processes, including as turning, milling, drilling, and grinding, in order to determine the exact equipment and criteria needed for each technique. The cooling and lubricating process received particular emphasis, with thorough investigation of several agents, including CASTROL HYSOL T15, and their impact on surface quality and tool longevity. The utilization of these compounds has been discovered to substantially decrease tool temperature and enhance machining quality. Upon closer examination of the processing techniques specified in section A-A of the tube wall, it was determined that advanced procedures such as floating plug drawing and micro-sized spiral tube hydroforming were discovered. These techniques allow the attainment of superior surface quality and precise dimensions, which are crucial for guaranteeing the structural integrity of the pipe. Cutting tools, processing equipment, and coolants and lubricants are essential components in the manufacturing of pipe walls. Nanoparticulate cooling and lubrication systems, which are advanced technologies, have demonstrated their effectiveness in minimizing friction and heat during machining. As a result, these systems enhance productivity and prolong the lifespan of tools. According to the article, the essential components for attaining high-quality manufacture of pipe walls are cutting tools, processing equipment, and coolants and lubricants. Additional study is advised to enhance processing parameters, create eco-friendly coolants and lubricants, and utilize artificial intelligence for predictive modeling and optimization of processing. This establishes the groundwork for future research and innovation in the pipe wall production business, with the objective of attaining enhanced efficiency and sustainability in production processes.
