In this paper, the effect of minimum chip thickness on cutting temperature in micro-end- milling of aluminum alloy Al2024-T6 using a tungsten-carbide cutter are investigated and analyzed. The three-dimensional coupled thermal-mechanical finite element model is adopted to determine the effects of varying depth of cut on cutting temperature considering size effects. The simulation results show that the cutting temperature in micro-end-milling is lower than those occurring in conventional milling processes. When the depth of cut is approximately 40% of the cutting edge radius, there is no chip formation. The maximum temperature occurs at the contact region between micro cutting edge and workpiece, which shows an obvious size effect. The experimental verification of the simulation model is carried out on a micro-end-milling process of aluminum alloy 2024-T6 with a high precision infrared camera. The influence of various cutting depths on cutting temperature has been verified in experiments. The experimental measurements results are in a good agreement with the simulation results.

An accurate prediction of cutting forces in the micro end milling, which is affected by many factors, is the basis for increasing the machining productivity and selecting optimal cutting parameters. This paper develops a dynamic cutting force model in the micro end milling taking into account tool vibrations and run-out. The influence of tool run-out is integrated with the trochoidal trajectory of tooth and the size effect of cutting edge radius into the static undeformed chip thickness. Meanwhile, the real-time tool vibrations are obtained from differential motion equations with the measured modal parameters, in which the process damping effect is superposed as feedback on the undeformed chip thickness. The proposed dynamic cutting force model has been experimentally validated in the micro end milling process of the Al6061 workpiece. The tool run-out parameters and cutting forces coefficients can be identified on the basis of the measured cutting forces. Compared with the traditional model without tool vibrations and run-out, the predicted and measured cutting forces in the micro end milling process show closer agreement when considering tool vibrations and run-out.

In Part II of this paper, experimental and analytical methods have been developed to estimate the values of the process faults defined in Part I of this paper. The additional faults introduced by the microend mill design are shown to have a significant influence on the total net runout of the microend mill. The dynamic model has been validated through microend milling experiments. Using the dynamic model, the effects of minimum chip thickness and elastic recovery on microend milling stability have been studied over a range of feed rates for which the cutting mechanisms vary from ploughing-dominated to shearing-dominated. The minimum chip thickness effect is found to cause feed rate dependent instability at low feed rates, and the range of unstable feed rates depends on the axial depth of cut. The effects of process faults on microend mill vibrations have also been studied and the influence of the unbalance from the faults is found to be significant as spindle speed is increased. The stability characteristics due to the regenerative effect have been studied. The results show that the stability lobes from the second mode of the microend mill, which are generally neglected in macroscale end milling, affect the microend mill stability significantly.
