AbstractThe paper presents an innovative method of solving the problem of vibration suppression during milling of large-size details. It consists in searching for the best conditions for clamping the workpiece based on a rapid modal identification of the dominant natural frequencies only and requires repetitive changes in the tightening torque of the clamping screws. Then, by estimating the minimum work of the cutting forces acting in the direction of the width of the cutting layer, it is possible to predict the best fixing of the workpiece. Application of the method does not require the creation and identification of a computational model of the process or preliminary numerical simulations. The effectiveness of this method was confirmed by the evaluation of the Root Mean Square (RMS) of the vibration level in the time domain observed during the actual face milling process. The worst results were obtained for the configuration of supports tightened with a torque of 90–110 Nm, and the best—with a torque of 50 Nm.

The paper studies the potential to improve the surface roughness in parts manufactured in the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process by using additional milling. The studied process was machining of samples made of the AlSi10Mg alloy powder. The simultaneous impacts of the laser scanning speed of the SLM process and the machining parameters of the milling process (such as the feed rate and milling width) on the surface roughness were analyzed. A mathematical model was created as a basis for optimizing the parameters of the studied processes and for selecting the sets of optimum solutions. As a result of the research, surface with low roughness (Ra = 0.14 μm, Rz = 1.1 μm) was obtained after the face milling. The performed milling allowed to reduce more than 20-fold the roughness of the SLM sample surfaces. The feed rate and the cutting width increase resulted in the surface roughness deterioration. Some milled surfaces were damaged by the chip adjoining to the rake face of the cutting tool back tooth.

Abstract Face milling is widely used in machining processes, aimed at providing workpieces with high surface quality. The chatter generated in face milling could lead to tremendous damage to machine tools, poor machined surface quality, and loss of processing efficiency. Most related researches have been focused on the modeling of spindle dynamics and discretization algorithms for chatter prediction. However, few published articles have taken the geometric characteristics of workpieces into consideration, especially for workpieces with discontinuous surfaces in face milling, which leads to poor accuracy of chatter prediction as well as the waste of processing efficiency. To overcome this shortage, a novel dynamic model for the face milling process is built in this paper, considering the cutting insert engagement based on the geometric characteristics of the workpieces and the tool path. The stability lobe diagrams (SLDs) applicable to workpieces with discontinuous surfaces are constructed. A process parameter optimization model is developed to maximize the chatter-free processing efficiency of the face milling process. The sensitivity analysis is utilized to simplify the objective function, and the genetic algorithm is employed to solve the optimization model. The proposed approach is validated by an experimental case study of an engine block, improving the chatter-free material removal rate by 53.3% in comparison to the classic approach.

Due to the complexity of high-speed milling process by high relative speed and interrupted cutting, the face milling cutters possess the multi-order modes and the vibrating displacements of the cutting edges under each modes affect adversely both the surface roughness and the life of machine/tool system worse than other structures. In order to improve the stability of milling process, this work focuses on the influence of the variables such as structure geometries and constraint conditions on the eigenfrequencies and modeshapes of cutter. As an example, the dynamic characteristics of several face cutters are analyzed and optimized by structural dynamic modification (SDM) techniques.

A mechanistic force system model for the face milling process has been developed and implemented on the computer. The model predicts the force system in face milling over a range of cutting conditions, cutter geometries, workpiece, and process geometries including relative positions of cutter to workpiece, spindle tilt, and runout. Machining tests have been conducted for both fly cuting and multitooth cutting with polycrystalline diamond tools on plain surfaces. The 390 casting aluminum alloy has been used as the workpiece material. Force data from these tests were used to estimate the empirical constants of the mechanistic model and to verify its prediction capabilities. Data bases from flycutting tests have been used to predict forces under multitooth face milling and the results indicate good agreement with observed data from multitooth tests.

Material constitutive equation plays an important role in Finite Element Analysis (FEA) of metal cutting process. This paper proposes a method to obtain parameters for Power Law model of a Japanese type of alloy steel (SCM440H) for 3-D FEA of face milling process, involving pressure bar experiments and orthogonal metal cutting experiments. Since pressure bar test cannot reach the high strain rate occurred in cutting process, orthogonal cutting experiment was combined to obtain parameters for material model. By this method, the ideal parameters for FEA of the face milling process were finally determined. Face milling experiments were performed to verify the accuracy of the model built.
