A methodology for mechanistic cutting force model calibration via microstructure-level finite element cutting process simulation is presented and applied to ferrous materials, including ductile and gray irons and carbon steels. The methodology combines graphite, ferrite, and pearlite grains to produce ductile iron, gray iron, and carbon steel microstructures and obtains cutting forces via orthogonal machining simulations. The simulated forces are used to perform the cutting force model calibration. The cutting forces for the turning process are predicted based on the calibration thusly obtained and experimentally shown to be in good agreement with actual cutting force data.

The present tendency towards increased automation of metal cutting operations has resulted in a need to develop a model for the chip breaking process. Conventional cutting force models do not have any provision for the study of chip breaking since they assume a continuous mode of chip formation, where the contact action of the free-end of the chip is ignored in all analyses. The new cutting force model proposed in this work incorporates the contact force developed due to the free-end of the chip touching the workpiece, and is applicable to the study of two-dimensional chip breaking in orthogonal machining. Orthogonal cutting tests were performed to obtain two-dimensional chip breaking. The experimentally measured cutting forces show a good correlation with the estimated cutting forces using the model. Results show that the forces acting on the chip vary within a chip breaking cycle and help identify the chip breaking event.

The Stability

Elastomer end-milling is attracting attention for its role in the small-lot production of elastomeric parts. In order to apply end-milling to the production of elastomeric parts, it is important that the workpiece be held stably to avoid deformation. To evaluate the stability of workholding, it is necessary to predict cutting forces in elastomer end-milling. Cutting force prediction for metal workpiece end-milling has been investigated for many years, and many process models for end-milling have been proposed. However, the applicability of these models to elastomer end-milling has not been discussed. In this paper, the characteristics of the cutting force in elastomer end-milling are evaluated experimentally. A standard cutting force model and its parameter identification method are introduced. By using this cutting force model, measured cutting forces are compared against the calculated results. The comparison makes it clear that the standard cutting force model for metal end-milling can be applied to down milling for a rough evaluation.

Dynamic Cutting Force

The effects of cutting dynamics and the particles' size and density cannot be ignored in micro milling of metal matrix composites. This article presents the improved dynamic cutting force modelling for micro milling of metal matrix composites based on the previous analytical model. This comprehensive improved cutting force model, taking the influence of the tool run-out, actual chip thickness and resultant tool tip trajectory into account, is evaluated and validated through well-designed machining trials. A series of side milling experiments using straight flutes polycrystalline diamond end mills are carried out on the metal matrix composite workpiece under various cutting conditions. Subsequently, the measured cutting forces are compensated by a Kalman filter to achieve the accurate cutting forces. These are further compared with the predicted cutting forces to validate the proposed dynamic cutting force model. The experimental results indicate that the predicted and measured cutting forces in micro milling of metal matrix composites are in good agreement.

In this paper, a milling process simulation system was constructed and ME Z-map (Moving Edge node Z-map) model was developed to elevate the performance of this system. The milling process simulation system computes the cutting configuration and then the cutting forces are predicted using these calculated configurations. In this system, an improved cutting force model which is independent of cutting conditions is used to more precisely predict the cutting forces. In the process, the ME Z-map model was used for more accurate computing of cutting configuration. Due to the edge node, ME Z-map model produces more accurate cutting configuration than the conventional Z-map models even with five to ten times larger grid size, which reduces the computing time dramatically. The superiority of the ME Z-map model was confirmed through comparison with the conventional Z-map.

High Speed Cutting

The Finite Element Method (FEM) has proven to be an effective technique to investigate cutting process so as to improve cutting tool design and select optimum cutting conditions. The present work focuses on the FEM simulation of cutting forces in high speed cutting by using an orthogonal cutting model with variant undeformed chip thickness under plane-strain condition to mimic intermittent cutting process such as milling. High speed cutting of 45%C steel using uncoated carbide tools are simulated as the application of the proposed model. The updated Lagrangian formulation is adopted in the dynamic FEM simulation in which the normalized Cockroft and Latham damage criterion is used as the ductile fracture criterion. The simulation results of cutting force components under different cutting conditions show that both the thrust cutting force and the tangential cutting force increase with the increase in undeformed chip thickness or feed rate, whereas decrease with the increase in cutting speed. Some important aspects of modeling the high speed cutting are discussed as well to expect the future work in FEM simulation.

Abstract Ultra-thin dicing blade is usually used to achieve a high precision cutting in semiconductor back-end packaging and assembly. Lots of interactional parameters involving in dicing blade preparation and cutting process bring difficulties to high cutting qualities and good working life of dicing blade. In order to address these problems, this study prepared three kinds of dicing blades and characterized the cutting properties of three dicing blades. It first proposed the abrasive exposure coefficient and tool deviation coefficient to provide parameters for the cutting force model. Then the experimental apparatus was set up to verify the proposed cutting force model. And a series of parameters including feed rate, spindle current, edge chipping coefficient, tool wear amount and grinding performance are used to characterize the comprehensive performance of prepared dicing blades. Finally, the edge morphology was observed under 3D microscope to analysis the hardness of different dicing blades. The theoretical and experimental results indicate that the proposed cutting force model can reflect actual cutting process. There is an inverse proportional function between the shedding of abrasive particles and the hardness of the matrix. The cutting performance of dicing blades is very dependent on the material of workpiece. C-dicing blades presents outstanding comprehensive effects with small chips and good self-sharpening properties.

Abstract The prediction and optimization of cutting forces in the finishing machining of 3D plane surfaces using ball-end milling are presented in this paper. The cutting force model is developed based on the mechanistic modeling approach. This improved model is able to accurately predict the cutting forces for non-horizontal and cross-feed cutter movements typical in 3D finishing ball-end milling. Optimization of the cutting forces is used to determine both the tool path and the maximum feed rate in 3D plane surface finishing machining. The objective is to achieve highest machining efficiency and to ensure product quality. Experimental results have shown that the cutting force model gives excellent predictions of cutting forces in 3D finishing ball-end milling. The feasibility of the integrated process planning method has been demonstrated through the establishment of optimized process plans for the finishing machining of 3D plane surfaces.

Cutting Force Model

Laser assisted mechanical micromachining is a process that utilizes highly localized thermal softening of the material by continuous wave laser irradiation applied simultaneously and directly in front of a miniature cutting tool in order to produce micron scale three-dimensional features in difficult-to-machine materials. The hybrid process is characterized by lower cutting forces and deflections, fewer tool failures, and potentially higher material removal rates. The desktop-sized machine used to implement this process has a finite stiffness and deflects under the influence of the cutting forces. The deflections can be of the same order of magnitude as the depth of cut in some cases, thereby having a negative effect on the dimensional accuracy of the micromachined feature. As a result, selection of the laser and cutting parameters that yield the desired reduction in cutting forces and deflection, and consequently an improvement in dimensional accuracy, requires a reliable cutting force model. This paper describes a cutting force model for the laser-assisted microgrooving process. The model accounts for the effect of elastic deflection of the machine X-Y stages on the forces and accuracy of the micromachined feature. The model combines an existing slip-line field based force model with a finite element based thermal model of laser heating and a constitutive material flow stress model to account for thermal softening. Experiments are carried out on H-13 steel (42 HRC (hardness measured on the Rockwell ‘C’ scale)) to validate the force model. The effects of process parameters, such as laser power and cutting speed, on the forces are also analyzed. The model captures the effect of thermal softening and indicates a 66% reduction in the shear flow stress at 35 W laser power. The cutting force and depth of cut prediction errors are less than 20% and 10%, respectively, for most of the cases examined.
