Modelling methods for the transient temperature field of wear land on the flank of end mills have been proposed to address the challenges of inaccurate prediction in the temperature field of end mills during the high-speed peripheral milling of Ti6Al4V that is a titanium alloy. A transient temperature rise model of wear land on the flank of end mills was constructed under the influence of heat sources in the primary shearing zone (PSZ), rake-chip zone (RCZ), flank-workpiece zone (FWZ), and dissipating heat source. Then the transient temperature field model of wear land on the flank of end mills was constructed. Finally, the transient temperature field model of wear land on the flank of end mills was constructed. Comparison of simulation result and experimental data verified the accuracy of the model. In sum, the proposed model may provide a temperature model support for future studies of flank wear rate in end mill modeling.

Side milling tests of CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastics) containing thermosetting resin are carried out by TiAlN/AlCrN-coated, H2-free DLC (diamond-like carbon)-coated, and CVD diamond-coated carbide end mills without coolant. Two types of end mills having different helix angles of 30° and 60° are used. The film thickness and surface smoothness are varied for the DLC-coated end mills. The cutting characteristics are evaluated by tool wear and surface integrity (i.e., 3D profiles of the machined surface, generation of fluffing, delamination, and pull-out of the carbon fibers). The cutting force and tool flank temperature are also examined for the two types of CFRP composites and the helix angle of the end mill. “Inclination milling,”in which the end mill is tilted so that the resultant cutting force acts parallel to the work surface, is proposed as a novel technique to be used with a high-helix angle end mill. This unique approach enables the reduction of tool wear and improves the surface integrity of machined CFRP surfaces.
