The minimum uncut chip thickness (MUCT), dividing the cutting zone into the shear region and the ploughing region, has a strong nonlinear effect on the cutting force of micro-milling. Determining the MUCT value is fundamental in order to predict the micro-milling force. In this study, based on the assumption that the normal shear force and the normal ploughing force are equivalent at the MUCT point, a novel analytical MUCT model considering the comprehensive effect of shear stress, friction angle, ploughing coefficient and cutting-edge radius is constructed to determine the MUCT. Nonlinear piecewise cutting force coefficient functions with the novel MUCT as the break point are constructed to represent the distribution of the shear/ploughing force under the effect of the minimum uncut chip thickness. By integrating the cutting force coefficient function, the nonlinear micro-milling force is predicted. Theoretical analysis shows that the nonlinear cutting force coefficient function embedded with the novel MUCT is absolutely integrable, making the micro-milling force model more stable and accurate than the conventional models. Moreover, by considering different factors in the MUCT model, the proposed micro-milling force model is more flexible than the traditional models. Micro-milling experiments under different cutting conditions have verified the efficiency and improvement of the proposed micro-milling force model.

Future Work

The uncut chip thickness is comparable to the cutting edge radius in micromachining. If the uncut chip thickness is less than a critical value, there will be no chip formation. This critical value is termed as the minimum uncut chip thickness (MUCT). Although minimum uncut chip thickness has been well defined in orthogonal cutting, it is often poorly understood in practical complex turning and milling processes. This paper presents an analysis of the state-of-art research on minimum uncut chip thickness in precision micro-machining. The numerical and experimental methods to determine MUCT values and their effects on process mechanics and surface integrity in microcutting will be critically assessed in this paper. A set of definitions of minimum uncut chip thickness for three-dimensional turning and milling processes are presented. In addition, a detailed discussion on the characteristics of different methods to determine minimum uncut chip thickness and several unsolved problems are proposed for the future work.

Ultra Precision

Evaluation of the phenomena characterizing the chip decohesion process during cutting is still a current problem in relation to precision, ultra-precision, and micro-machining processes of construction materials. The reliable estimation of minimum uncut chip thickness is an especially challenging task since it directly affects the machining process dynamics and formation of a surface topography. Therefore, in this work a critical review of the recent studies concerning the determination of minimum uncut chip thickness during precision, ultra-precision, and micro-cutting is presented. The first part of paper covers a characterization of the precision, ultra-precision, and micro-cutting processes. In the second part, the analytical, experimental, and numerical methods for minimum uncut chip thickness estimation are presented in detail. Finally, a summary of the research results for minimum uncut chip thickness estimation is presented, together with conclusions and a determination of further research directions.

The Relationship

In micromachining, when the undeformed chip thickness becomes comparable to the edge radius of the cutting tool, the effective rake angle becomes to be negative and has significant effect on the determination of the minimum uncut chip thickness. The determination of the minimum uncut chip thickness is essential in micro machining in order to achieve desired surface integrity and accuracy. In this paper, an Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE)-based numerical modeling is proposed to determine the minimum uncut chip thickness for Copper by changing the cutting tool’s nominal rake angle. According to the relationship between the minimum uncut chip thickness and the effective rake angle, a mathematical model that reflects the relationship between the effective rake angle and the nominal rake angle is established.

In micromachining, the uncut chip thickness is comparable to the tool edge radius, and chip won’t be generated if the uncut chip thickness is less than a critical value, besides that, the minimum uncut chip thickness affect many factors such as the cutting force, the chip’s modality, the cutting surface quality, etc. In this paper, a geometric model is developed to predict the minimum uncut chip thickness values. The model accounts for the theory that the critical condition of producing chip is when the friction of the surface deformation asperities is zero. Two situations when the minimum value is larger or smaller than the tool edge radius respectively to predict the minimum value are discussed. The influences of tool edge radius and material’s property on the minimum uncut chip thickness are taken into account.
