Abstract:
High-Speed Machining (HSM) has emerged as a transformative technology in modern manufacturing, offering significant improvements in productivity, precision, and cost efficiency. By operating at elevated cutting speeds and feed rates, HSM enables higher material removal rates, superior surface finish, and reduced machining time. This advancement has been particularly beneficial in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and die/mold manufacturing, where precision and efficiency are critical. Despite its advantages, the adoption of HSM presents several challenges, including accelerated tool wear, excessive heat generation, vibration-related stability concerns, and the need for optimized machine dynamics. Effective management of these factors is essential to fully leverage the benefits of HSM while ensuring process reliability and component quality. Recent advancements in cutting tool materials, coatings, adaptive control strategies, and machine tool design have contributed to addressing these challenges, further enhancing the feasibility and efficiency of HSM. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the fundamental principles of HSM, key technological challenges, and recent developments in the field. It also examines various industrial applications, highlighting how HSM is being integrated into modern production systems. Furthermore, performance comparisons, tool life assessments, and machining efficiency evaluations across different materials and machining strategies are presented using figures, tables, and bar charts. The findings aim to offer valuable insights into the current state and future potential of HSM in advanced manufacturing.
