Mechanics and dynamics of serrated milling cutters are presented in the article. The serrated flute design knots are fitted to a cubic spline, which is then projected on helical flutes. Cutting edge geometry at any point along the serrated flute is represented by its immersion angle and tangent vectors in radial, tangential and helix directions. The chip thickness removed by each cutting edge point is determined by using previously proposed exact kinematics of dynamic milling. The cutting forces are evaluated by orthogonal to oblique cutting mechanics transformation. The experimentally proven model is able to predict the cutting forces and chatter stability lobes in time domain.

This paper presents a chatter stability prediction method for milling flexible workpiece with end mills having asymmetric structural dynamics. The dynamic chip thickness regenerated by the vibrations of the rotating cutter and the fixed workpiece is transformed into the principle modal directions of the rotating tool. The process damping is modeled as a linear function of vibration velocity. The dynamics of the milling system is modeled by a time delay matrix differential equation with time varying directional factors and speed dependent elements. The periodic directional factors are averaged over a spindle period, and the stability of the resulting time invariant but speed dependent characteristic equation of the system is investigated using the Nyquist stability criterion. The stability model is verified with time domain numerical simulations and milling experiments.

Serrated end mills are effectively used in suppressing chatter vibrations in roughing operations. Mechanics and dynamics of serrated cylindrical and tapered helical end mills are presented in the article. The serrated flute design knots are fitted to a cubic spline, which is then projected on helical flutes. Cutting edge geometry at any point along the serrated flute is represented by its immersion angle and tangent vectors in radial, tangential and helical directions. The chip thickness removed by each cutting edge point is determined by using exact kinematics of dynamic milling. The cutting forces are evaluated by orthogonal to oblique cutting mechanics transformation. The experimentally proven model is able to predict the cutting forces and chatter stability lobes in time domain. It is shown that the proposed model can be used in evaluating the performance of serrated end mills during their stage.

This paper presents a discrete-time modeling of dynamic milling systems. End mills with arbitrary geometry are divided into differential elements along the cutter axis. Variable pitch and helix angles, as well as run-outs can be assigned to cutting edges. The structural dynamics of the slender end mills and thin-walled parts are also considered at each differential element at the tool-part contact zone. The cutting forces include static chip removal, ploughing, regenerative vibrations, and process damping components. The dynamic milling system is modeled by a matrix of delay differential equations with periodic coefficients, and solved with an improved semidiscrete-time domain method in modal space. The chatter stability of the system is predicted by checking the eigenvalues of the time-dependent transition matrix which covers the tooth period for regular or spindle periods for variable pitch cutters, respectively. The same equation is also used to predict the process states such as cutting forces, vibrations, and dimensional surface errors at discrete-time domain intervals analytically. The proposed model is experimentally validated in down milling of a workpiece with 5% radial immersion and 30 mm axial depth of cut with a four fluted helical end mill.
