Titanium Alloy Ti6al4v

Titanium and its alloys are difficult to machine due to their high chemical reactivity with tool materials and low thermal conductivity. Chip segmentation caused by the thermoplastic instability is always observed in titanium machining processes, which leads to varied cutting forces and chip thickness, etc. This paper presents an analytical modelling approach for cutting forces in near-orthogonal cutting of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. The catastrophic shear instability in the primary shear plane is assumed as a semi-static process. An analytical approach is used to evaluate chip thicknesses and forces in the near-orthogonal cutting process. The shear flow stress of the material is modelled by using the Johnson–Cook constitutive material law where the strain hardening, strain rate sensitivity and thermal softening behaviours are coupled. The thermal equations with non-uniform heat partitions along the tool–chip interface are solved by a finite difference method. The model prediction is verified with experimental data, where a good agreement in terms of the average cutting forces and chip thickness is shown. A comparison of the predicted temperatures with published data obtained by using the finite element method is also presented.

Aisi 4130

Thermal mechanical loadings in machining process would promote material microstructure changes. The material microstructure evolution, such as grain size evolution and phase transformation could significantly influence the material flow stress behavior, which will directly affect the machining forces. An analytical model is proposed to predict cutting forces during the turning of AISI 4130 steel. The material dynamic recrystallization is considered through Johnson-Mehl-Avrami-Kolmogorov (JMAK) model. The explicit calculation of average grain size is provided in an analytical model. The grain size effect on the material flow stress is considered by introducing the Hall-Petch relation into a modified Johnson-Cook model. The cutting forces prediction are based on Oxley’s contact mechanics with consideration of mechanical and thermal loads. The model is validated by comparing the predicted machining forces with experimental measurements.

Diamond Cutting Tool

The purpose of applying a laser beam in the micro-laser assisted machining (μ-LAM) process is to preferentially heat and thermally soften the surface layer of the work piece material (4H-SiC) at the interface with a diamond cutting tool. In the μ-LAM process the laser beam (1480 nm and 400 mW) is delivered to the work piece material through a transparent diamond cutting tool. Thus the cutting tool and the laser system are integrated and coupled; in contrast with other LAM processes where the cutting tool and laser are separate and distinct systems. Scratches were made on a 4H-SiC substrate using the μ-LAM process. The characteristics of the scratches, such as depth and width, are principally a function of the cutting tool geometry, applied forces, cutting speed, and laser heating. White light interferometer microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) techniques were used to measure the geometry (depth and width) of the scratches. Force analysis was carried out to evaluate the laser heating effect on the cutting forces and the measured depth of cut. The force analysis included an evaluation of the mechanical work, specific energy, and understanding the effect of laser heating on the cutting process. The scratch tests performed on 4H-SiC with the laser heating showed that there is a greater than 50% reduction in relative calculated hardness values of work piece material, resulting in a significant reduction in cutting forces.

The results of orthogonal cutting tests carried out on unidirectional glass fiber reinforced plastic composites, using HSS tools, are presented and discussed. During the tests, performed on a milling machine at very low cutting speed to avoid thermal effects, the cutting speed was held constant and parallel to the fibre direction. Three parameters, namely the tool rake angle α, the tool relief angle γ, and the depth of cut t, were varied. According to the experimental results, the horizontal force per unit width, Fhu, undergoes a dramatic decrease, never verified for metals, with increasing α. Besides, Fhu is only negligibly affected by the relief angle, and linearly increases with t. Similarly to metals, an effect of the depth of cut on the specific energy (size effect) is found also for composites. However, the presented results indicate that the size effect can be analytically modeled in a simple way in the case of composites. The vertical force per unit width, Fvu, exhibits a marked reduction when the relief angle is increased. Fvu, is also very sensitive to the rake angle: the lower α the higher is Fvu. It is shown that this behavior probably reflects a strong influence of the rake angle on the forces developing at the flank. A linear dependence of the vertical force on the depth of cut is also demonstrated. Finally, the experimental data are utilized to obtain empirical formulae, allowing an approximate evaluation of cutting forces.

Physical Phenomena

Micro-milling with a cutting tool is a manufacturing technique that allows production of parts ranging from several millimeters to several micrometers. The technique is based on a downscaling of macroscopic milling process. Micro-milling is one of the most effective process to produce complex three-dimensional micro-parts, including sharp edges and with a good surface quality. Reducing the dimensions of the cutter and the cutting conditions requires taking into account physical phenomena that can be neglected in macro-milling. These phenomena include a size effect (nonlinear rising of specific cutting force when chip thickness decreases), the minimum chip thickness (under a given dimension, no chip can be machined) and the heterogeneity of the material (the size of the grains composing the material is significant as compared to the dimension of the chip). The aim of this paper is to introduce some phenomena, appearing in micromilling, in the mechanistic dynamic simulation software ‘dystamill’ developed for macro-milling. The software is able to simulate the cutting forces, the dynamic behavior of the tool and the workpiece and the kinematic surface finish in 2D1/2 milling operation (slotting, face milling, shoulder milling,…). It can be used to predict chatter-free cutting condition for example. The mechanistic model of the cutting forces is deduced from the local FEM simulation of orthogonal cutting. This FEM model uses the commercial software ABAQUS and is able to simulate chip formation and cutting forces in an orthogonal cutting test. This model is able to reproduce physical phenomena in macro cutting conditions (including segmented chip) as well as specific phenomena in micro cutting conditions (minimum chip thickness and size effect). The minimum chip thickness is also taken into account by the global model. The results of simulation for the machining of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V under macro and micro milling condition with the mechanistic model are presented discussed. This approach connects together local machining simulation and global models.

The effects of surfactant solution aluminum chloride on cutting granite rock with a diamond were investigated experimentally. Tests were conducted by cutting on the cylindrical surface of a granite cylinder in a lathe with a single spherically shaped diamond cutting tool. The cutting fluid consisted of various concentrations of aluminum chloride in deionized distilled water. The cutting force components were determined by means of a tool post dynamometer and were recorded continuously during the tests. Diamond wear was determined by periodically photographing the wear flat through an optical miscroscope. Results indicate that cutting forces and diamond wear rate are influenced by the additive. The normal cutting force is maximum at a concentration of 7 × 10−6 molar, and the tangential cutting force is maximum at 3 × 10−6 while the diamond wear rate is minimum at 3 × 10−6 molar. It is also found that there is an effect of concentration on relative tool life for constant depth cutting, but that maximum life occurs at higher levels of concentration.
