Abstract In part II of these two-part papers, the effects of four FEM representations of the milling process on the prediction of chip morphology and residual stresses (RS) are investigated. Part II focuses on the milling of conventional uncut chip thickness h with finite cutting edge radius and flank wear, while part I of these two-part papers has reported on the results in the case of milling small uncut chip thickness in the micrometre range with finite cutting edge radius. Two geometric models of the flank-wear land composed of flat and curved wear land are proposed and assessed. The four process representations are: i) orthogonal cutting with flat wear land and with the mean uncut chip thickness h ¯; ii) orthogonal cutting with flat wear land and with variable h, which characterises the down-milling process and which is imposed on a flat surface of the final workpiece; iii) modelling the true kinematics of the down milling process with flat wear land and iv) modelling the true kinematics of the down milling process with curved wear land. They are designated as Cte-h, Var-h, True-h and True-h*. The effectiveness of these representations is assessed when milling Ti6Al4V with a flank-wear land of VB = 200µm.

FEM analysis was performed on design of experiment (DoE) according to Taguchi plan L9 (34). In order to overcome the machinability issues associated with machining of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, an attempt has been made in this study to observe the effect of friction coefficient, cutting speed, feed rate and cutting edge radius and on cutting force, temperature and power in 2D orthogonal cutting process supported through out with Third Wave Systems’ AdvantEdge. The comparison between the predicted cutting force, temperature and power at varying of friction coefficient, cutting speed, feed rate and cutting edge radius are presented and discussed. Evaluation of obtained results was processed by the statistical software Minitab 16.

In order to optimize the geometric parameters of cutting edge for the finishing machining of 30Cr alloy steel, a two-dimensional (2D) finite element (FE) model of orthogonal cutting was built with FE software AdvantEdge. The optimized methodology of the cutting edge geometric parameters was likewise proposed based on the simulated results. Thereafter, the geometric parameters of the cutting edge were optimized based on a comprehensive criterion that combines chip deformation coefficient and tool stress. The chip deformation coefficient indirectly determines the surface roughness, whereas tool stress determines tool wear, thereby affecting the dimensional precision of the components. The rake angle ranges from 12[Formula: see text] to 20[Formula: see text], while the cutting edge radius ranges from 12[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m to 20[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m in the optimization process. The optimal rake angle for the finishing machining 30Cr alloy steel is 16[Formula: see text], while the optimal cutting edge radius is 14[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m with a given relief angle of 7[Formula: see text].

Micro cutting is a promising manufacturing method to obtain good surface integrity. Surface roughness shows size effect when the uncut chip thickness is smaller than the cutting edge radius. A special micro slot on the flank face of cutting tools was manufactured with discharge. Two groups of micro orthogonal cutting were conducted. The surface roughness of machined surface was measured and compared to each other. The results show that surface roughness decreases first and then increases with the ratio of uncut chip thickness to cutting edge radius. The surface machined with micro slot is better than that of without micro slot due to the micro slot restrain the back side flow of work piece based on the finite element model.
