High-speed machining requires the support of high intelligent CAM software as well as customized machining strategies and properly selected machining parameters. Only by combining the two can the advantage of high-speed machining be made full use of. Compared to ordinary NC cutting, high-speed machining has special requirements for process strategies, CAM system and tool path. A complete tool path includes approaching/retracting tool, moving tool and tool path. Based on the above principles, a mould part is successfully processed using the PowerMILL software at the high-speed machining centre of DMG-DMU40T. The maximum hardness of the mould part is HRC50. There’s a 30 degree corner in the cavity with a transition radius of 3mm. The whole process can be divided into three stages: rough, semi-finish and finish machining and each stage involves the selection of tool path, the selection of tool, the selection of cutting parameters (including spindle speed, feed speed and depth of cut), and the application of PowerMILL specific machining methods (such as Race-line machining, rest roughing, automatic trochoidal machining, 3D offset finishing and etc).

High-speed machining (HSM) has received great interest because it leads to an increase of productivity and a better workpiece surface quality. However, tool wear increases dramatically due to the high temperature at the tool/workpiece interface. Proper selection of cutting tool and cutting parameters is the key process in high-speed machining. In this paper, experiments have been conducted to high speed milling pearlitic cast iron with different tool materials, including polycrystalline cubic boron nitrogen, ceramics and coated cemented carbides. Wear curves and tool life curves have been achieved at various cutting speeds with different cutting tools. If efficiency is considered, Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitrogen cutting tool materials are preferred in finish and semi-finish machining. According to the different hardness of cast iron, the appropriate range of cutting speed is from 850 m/min to 1200m/min.

Thin-walled parts made of aluminum alloy are mostly used as structural elements in the aerospace, automobile, and military industries due to good homogeneity, corrosion resistance, and the excellent ratio between mechanical properties and mass. Manufacturing of these parts is mainly performed by removing a large volume of material, so it is necessary to choose quality machining parameters that will achieve high productivity and satisfactory quality and accuracy of machining. Using the Taguchi methodology, an experimental plan is created and realized. Based on its results and comparative analysis of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods, optimal levels of machining parameters in high-speed milling of thin-walled parts made of aluminum alloy Al7075 are selected. The varying input parameters are wall thickness, cutting parameters, and tool path strategies. The output parameters are productivity, surface quality, dimensional accuracy, the accuracy of forms and surface position, representing the optimization criteria. Selection of the optimal machining parameter levels and their ranking is realized using 14 MCDM methods. Afterward, the obtained results are compared using correlation analysis. At the output, integrative decisions were made on selecting the optimal level and rank of alternative levels of machining parameters.

Tool Deflection

In this article, a new model of regenerative vibrations due to the deflection of the cutting tool in turning is proposed. The previous study reported chatter as a result of cutting a wavy surface of the previous cut. The proposed model takes into account cutting forces as the main factor of tool deflection. A cantilever beam model is used to establish a numerical model of the tool deflection. Three-dimensional finite element method is used to estimate the tool permissible deflection under the action of the cutting load. To analyze the system dynamic behavior, 1-degree-of-freedom model is used. MATLAB is used to compute the system time series from the initial value using fourth-order Runge–Kutta numerical integration. A straight hard turning with minimal fluid application experiment is used to obtain cutting forces under stable and chatter conditions. A single-point cutting tool made from high-speed steel is used for cutting. Experiment results showed that for the cutting parameters above 0.1mm/rev feed and [Formula: see text]mm depth of cut, the system develops fluctuations and higher chatter vibration frequency. Dynamic model vibration results showed that the cutting tool deflection induces chatter vibrations which transit from periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic type.

Usage of titanium alloys has increased since the past 50 years despite difficulties encountered during machining. In this study PCD tools were evaluated when machining Ti-6Al-4V alloy at high speed conditions under high pressure coolant supplies. Increase in coolant pressure tend to improve tool life and minimise adhesion of the work material on the cutting tool during machining. Adhesion can be accelerated by the susceptibility of titanium alloy to galling during machining.

Free Form Surface

The development of surface high-speed machining has put forward higher demands for uniform cutting load and smooth cutting tool path. Most current tool-path planning methods are based on constant scallop height, but they have the disadvantage of path point redundancy during the path discretization process. To overcome the problem, a tool path generation method of equal approximation error in each step for free-form surface is presented based on geodesic principle and curvature judgment. In this method, the NURBS curve is employed to realize smooth transition for adjacent two tool paths in high-speed machining. A certain angle of inclination of flat-end milling cutter during multi-axis machining improves the machining efficiency. Because of the advantage of this machining condition, the cutter location point generation algorithm during the machining condition is given by the method. The method is verified and simulated by C++. Experiment results proved that it can obtain uniform cutting load and continuous smooth cutting tool path during surface high-speed machining by the proposed method.
