Chip formation in machining plays an important role in the cutting process optimisation. Chip morphology often reflects the choice of cutting conditions, the tool wear and by consequences the integrity of the machined surface and tool life. In this study, photographs of the chip morphology during high speed machining of a middle hard steel (C20 similar to AISI 1020) are taken by using a ballistic setup. From these recordings, the evolution of the chip morphology is presented and analysed in terms of cutting conditions. A simplified modeling is then proposed by considering the workpiece material as elastic perfectly plastic. The existence of a scaling law governing the chip morphology in high speed machining is demonstrated. The cutting velocity is shown to have a weak effect at high speed machining as opposed to the well known strong influence of the velocity in the range of low cutting speeds.

Cutting Model

An orthogonal cutting model was presented to simulate high-speed machining (HSM) process based on metal cutting theory and finite element method (FEM). The residual stresses in the machined surface layer were obtained with various cutting speeds using finite element simulation. The variations of residual stresses in the cutting direction and beneath the workpiece surface were studied. It is shown that the thermal load produced at higher cutting speed is the primary factor affecting the residual stress in the machined surface layer.

Orthogonal Machining

A quick stop device (QSD) was designed for use in orthogonal machining and rubbing experiments. QSD’s are used to obtain chip root samples that are representative of the deformation taking place during dynamic (actual) cutting conditions. These “frozen” specimens are helpful in examining the plastic deformation that occurs in the regions of compression and shear which form the chip; the secondary shear at the tool-chip interface; and the nose ploughing/flank rubbing action which operates on the newly machined surface. The Hammer QSD employs a shear pin mechanism, broken by a flying hammer, which is traveling at the same velocity as the workpiece. The device has been successfully tested up to 6000 sfpm (30.48 m/sec).

Ultrasonic Cutting

This study investigated phenomena of ultrasonic cutting in the case of high-speed conditions. Ultrasonically assisted cutting techniques were developed by Kumabe in the 1950s. He found a critical cutting speed that limits cutting speed to obtain ultrasonically assisted effects and is calculated by frequency and amplitude of oscillation. In general, ultrasonically assisted cutting is not suitable for high-speed cutting conditions because the effects of ultrasonic application are cancelled due to tool contacts with the workpiece during the cutting operation. Present ultrasonically assisted cutting cannot allow increased cutting speed because cutting speed is limited by a critical cutting speed that is less than that compared with general cutting speed. And ultrasonically assisted cutting cannot improve productivity due to long processing time. We conducted high-speed ultrasonic cutting, and the maximum cutting speed in this research was 300 m/min which is higher than general critical cutting speed. The workpiece material was A5056 and cemented carbide tool inserts were employed in this research. Without ultrasonic oscillation, machined surface retained some built up edge and surface roughness is 28 μmRz. In the case of ultrasonic cutting, surface hasnt built up edge and periodically marks due to ultrasonic oscillation remained on the surface. The roughness of conventionally cut surface is better than in ultrasonic cutting. The cutting phenomena of ultrasonic cutting are different compared with those under conventional cutting conditions.

Two Factors

The productivity of machining centers is influenced inherently by the quality of NC programs. To evaluate productivity, first an effective feedrate factor and a productivity evaluation factor are proposed. It has been found that in high-speed machining, these two factors depend on a kinematic factor which is a function of (1) command feedrate, (2) average per-block travel of the tool, (3) moving vectorial variation of the tool, and (4) ac/deceleration or time constants. Then an NC program simulator has been developed to evaluate productivity. With the simulator, the machining time can be calculated accurately and the cutting conditions can be extracted. Finally, three NC programs were implemented on high-speed machining centers and analyzed by the simulator. It was found that in mold and die machining, the productivity can be improved by increasing the acceleration and average travel and reducing the vectorial variation of the tool rather than the command feedrate.

Experimental study has been carried out to establish the effect of cutting conditions (speed, feed, and depth of cut) on the cutting forces and time variation of carbide tool wear data in high-speed machining (face milling) of Al-Si cast alloys that are commonly used in the automotive industry. The experimental setup and force measurement system are described. The test results are used to calibrate and validate the fracture mechanics-based tool wear model developed in Part 1 of this work. The model calibration is conducted for two combinations of cutting speed and a feed rate, which represent a lower and upper limit of the range of cutting conditions. The calibrated model is then validated for a wide range of cutting conditions. This validation is performed by comparing the experimental tool wear data with the tool wear predicted by calibrated cutting tool wear model. The prediction errors were found to be less then 7%, demonstrating the accuracy of the object oriented finite element (OOFE) modeling of the crack propagation process in the cobalt binder. It also demonstrates its capability in capturing the physics of the wear process. This is attributed to the fact that the OOF model incorporates the real microstructure of the tool material.

Machine tool chatter is a dynamic instability of the cutting process. Chatter results in poor part surface finish, damaged cutting tool, and an irritating and unacceptable noise. Exten¬sive research has been undertaken to study the mechanisms of chatter formation. Efforts have been also made to prevent the occurrence of chatter vibration. Even though some progress have been made, fundamental studies on the mechanics of metal cutting are necessary to achieve chatter free operation of CNC machine tools to maintain their smooth operating cycle. The same is also true for Vertical Machining Centres (VMC), which operate at high cutting speeds and are capable of offering high metal removal rates. The present work deals with the effect of work materials, cutting conditions and diameter of end mill cutters on the frequency-amplitude characteristics of chatter and on machined surface roughness. Vibration data were recorded using an experimental rig consisting of KISTLER 3-component dynamometer model 9257B, amplifier, scope meters and a PC.  Three different types of vibrations were observed. The first type was a low frequency vibration, associated with the interrupted nature of end mill operation. The second type of vibration was associated with the instability of the chip formation process and the third type was due to chatter. The frequency of the last type remained practically unchanged over a wide range of cutting speed.  It was further observed that chip-tool contact processes had considerable effect on the roughness of the machined surface.Key Words: Chatter, Cutting Conditions, Stable Cutting, Surface Roughness.

High-speed metal cutting processes can cause extremely rapid heating of the work material. Temperature on the machined surface is critical for surface integrity and the performance of a precision component. However, the temperature of a machined surface is challenging for in-situ measurement.So, the finite element(FE) method used to analyze the unique nonlinear problems during cutting process. In terms of heat-force coupled problem, the thermo-plastic FE model was proposed to predict the cutting temperature distribution using separated iterative method. Several key techniques such as material constitutive relations, tool-chip interface friction and separation and damage fracture criterion were modeled. Based on the updated Lagrange and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method, the temperature field in high speed orthogonal cutting of carbon steel AISI-1045 were simulated. The simulated results showed good agreement with the experimental results, which validated the precision of the process simulation method. Meanwhile, the influence of the process variables such as cutting speed, cutting depth, etc. on the temperature distribution was investigated.
