Under normal machining conditions, the cutting forces are primarily due to the bulk shearing of the workpiece material in a narrow zone called the shear zone. However, under finishing conditions, when the uncut chip thickness is of the order of the cutting edge radius, a ploughing component of the forces becomes significant as compared to the shear forces. Predicting forces under these conditions requires an estimate of ploughing. A slip-line field is developed to model the ploughing components of the cutting force. The field is based on other slip-line fields developed for a rigid wedge sliding on a half-space and for negative rake angle orthogonal cutting. It incorporates the observed phenomena of a small stable build-up of material adhered to the edge and a raised prow of material formed ahead of the edge. The model shows how ploughing forces are related to cutter edge radius—a larger edge causing larger ploughing forces. A series of experiments were run on 6061-T6 aluminum using tools with different edge radii—including some exaggerated in size—and different levels of uncut chip thickness. Resulting force measurements match well to predictions using the proposed slip-line field. The results show great promise for understanding and quantifying the effects of edge radius and worn tool on cutting forces.

In drilling, the primary and secondary cutting lips of the drill shear the material while the central portion of the chisel edge indents the workpiece, making the cutting process complex to understand. As we go for microdrilling, it exhibits an added complexity to the cutting mechanism as the edge radius gets comparable to chip thickness at low feeds. The presented work models the forces by the primary cutting lip of a microdrill analytically using slip-line field that includes the changes in the effective rake angle and dead metal cap during cutting for cases of shearing as well as ploughing. To study the variation of forces experimentally, the primary cutting lip and chisel edge forces are separated out by drilling through pilot holes of diameter slightly above the drill-web thickness. Finally, the analytical and experimental results are compared and the model is calibrated.

In this study, the effects of the rake angle on main cutting force (Fc), and thrust forces (Ft) was investigated. A new slip line model approach for modelling the orthogonal cutting process was proposed. This model was applied at negative rake angles from 0° to –60° and consists of three regions. The main forces were measured with a computer aided quick stop device. Variance Analysis (ANOVA) was utilized to analyze the effects of the cutting parameters on cutting and thrust forces accordingly. Multi-variable regression analysis was also employed to determine the correlations between the factors and the cutting forces. The cutting forces could be calculated by equation parameters which are the rake angle and the uncut chip thickness.

In this study, the slip-line field model developed for orthogonal machining with a worn cutting tool was experimentally investigated. Minimum and maximum values of five slip-line angles ( θ1, θ2, δ2, η and ψ) were calculated. The friction forces that were caused by flank wear land, chip up-curl radii and chip thicknesses were calculated by solving the model. It was specified that the friction force increased with increase in flank wear rate and uncut chip thickness and it decreased a little with increase in cutting speed and rake angle. The chip up-curl radius increased with increase in flank wear rate and it decreased with increase in uncut chip thickness. The chip thickness increased with increase in flank wear rate and uncut chip thickness. Besides, the chip thickness increased with increase in rake angle and it decreased with increase in cutting speed.

Tool edge radius has obvious influences on micro-cutting process. It considers the ratio of the cutting edge radius and the uncut chip thickness as the relative tool sharpness (RST). FEM simulations of orthogonal cutting processes were studied with dynamics explicit ALE method. AISI 1045 steel was chosen for workpiece, and cemented carbide was chosen for cutting tool. Sixteen cutting edges with different RTS values were chosen for analysis. Cutting forces and temperature distributions were calculated for carbide cutting tools with these RTS values. Cutting edge with a small RTS obtains large cutting forces. Ploughing force tend to sharply increase when the RTS of the cutting edge is small. Cutting edge with a reasonable RTS reduces the heat generation and presents reasonable temperature distributions, which is beneficial to cutting life. The force and temperature distributions demonstrate that there is a reasonable RTS range for the cutting edge.

In microdrilling, because of lower feed, the microdrill cutting edge radius is comparable to the chip thickness. The cutting edges therefore should be regarded as rounded edges, which results in a more complex cutting mechanism. Because of this, the macrodrilling thrust modeling is not suitable for microdrilling. In this paper, a mathematical modeling to predict microdrilling thrust is developed, and the geometric characteristics of microdrill were considered in force models. The thrust is modeled in three parts: major cutting edges, secondary cutting edge, and indentation zone. Based on slip-line field theory, the major cutting edges and secondary cutting edge are divided into elements, and the elemental forces are determined by an oblique cutting model and an orthogonal model, respectively. The thrust modeling of the major cutting edges and second cutting edge includes two different kinds of processes: shearing and ploughing. The indentation zone is modeled as a rigid wedge. The force model is verified by comparing the predicted forces and the measured cutting forces.

Analysis of tool-chip friction for tools with edge design in metal cutting helps to understand the complex material behavior around the cutting edge of the tool. The results of this analysis can be used to identify optimum tool edge design to achieve the most desirable machining performance. In this study, slip-line field analysis approach is used to investigate the average friction factor at the tool-chip interface and the dead metal zone phenomenon in orthogonal cutting for chamfered and honed tools. In an experimental set-up, an orthogonal cutting test of AISI 4340 steel is performed. Measured forces are utilized in identifying the friction factors at the tool-interface for both chamfered and honed tools for varying feed rates. Comparison of predicted and measured forces indicates good agreements. The results of this study can be utilized in designing friction at tool-chip interface for Finite Element simulations of machining with edge design tools. This study can also be extended to waterfall hone tools to identify the most optimum cutting edge geometry.

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.

This paper presents an investigation of green micromachining (GMM) forces during orthogonal micromachining green-state AlN ceramics. Green-state ceramics contain ceramic powders within a binder; processed samples are subsequently debound and sintered to obtain solid ceramic parts. An effective approach to create microscale features on ceramics is to use mechanical micromachining when the ceramics are at their green state. This approach, referred to as GMM, considerably reduces the forces and tool wear with respect to micromachining of sintered ceramics. As such, fundamental understanding on GMM of ceramics is critically needed. To this end, in this work, the force characteristics of powder injection molded AlN ceramics with two different binder states were experimentally investigated via orthogonal cutting. The effects of micromachining parameters on force components and specific energies were experimentally identified for a tungsten carbide (WC) and a single crystal diamond tools. As expected, the thrust forces were seen to be significantly larger than the cutting forces at low uncut chip thicknesses when using the carbide tool with its large edge radius. The cutting forces are found to be more sensitive to uncut chip thickness than the thrust forces are. When a sharp diamond tool is used, cutting forces are significantly larger than the thrust forces even for small uncut chip thicknesses. The specific energies follow an exponential decrease with increasing uncut chip thickness similar to the common trends in metal cutting. However, due to interaction characteristics between cutting edge and ceramic particles in the green body, evidence of plowing and rubbing along the cutting region was observed even with a sharp diamond tool.

Lee and Shaffer’s slip line field solution [11] for orthogonal cutting is generalized to the free oblique continuous cutting problem in plane strain. Comparison of the results as predicted by this solution with those of the plane strain modified Merchant model [8] and experimental results is achieved for some key metal cutting parameters. It is shown that in some respect, the plane strain modified Merchant model [8] predicts values of parameters which are closer to experimental results.
