There is an increasing demand for product miniaturization and parts with features as low as few microns. Micromilling is one of the promising methods to fabricate miniature parts in a wide range of sectors including biomedical, electronic, and aerospace. Due to the large edge radius relative to uncut chip thickness, plowing is a dominant cutting mechanism in micromilling for low feed rates and has adverse effects on the surface quality, and thus, for a given tool path, it is important to be able to predict the amount of plowing. This paper presents a new method to calculate plowing volume for a given tool path in micromilling. For an incremental feed rate movement of a micro end mill along a given tool path, the uncut chip thickness at a given feed rate is determined, and based on the minimum chip thickness value compared to the uncut chip thickness, the areas of plowing and shearing are calculated. The workpiece is represented by a dual-Dexel model, and the simulation properties are initialized with real cutting parameters. During real-time simulation, the plowed volume is calculated using the algorithm developed. The simulated chip area results are qualitatively compared with measured resultant forces for verification of the model and using the model, effects of cutting conditions such as feed rate, edge radius, and radial depth of cut on the amount of shearing and plowing are investigated.

In this paper, high speed milling experiments on Ti6Al4V were conducted with coated carbide inserts under a wide range of cutting conditions. The effects of cutting speed, feed rate and radial depth of cut on the cutting forces, chip morphologies as well as surface roughness were investigated. The results indicated that the cutting speed 200m/min could be considered as a critical value at which both relatively low cutting forces and good surface quality can be obtained at the same time. When the cutting speed exceeds 200m/min, the cutting forces increase rapidly and the surface quality degrades. There exist obvious correlations between cutting forces and surface roughness.

Cutting force is a key factor influencing the machining deformation of weak rigidity work pieces. In order to reduce the machining deformation and improve the process precision and the surface quality, it is necessary to study the factors influencing the cutting force and build the regression model of cutting forces. This paper discusses the development of the first and second order models for predicting the cutting force produced in end-milling operation of modified manganese steel. The first and second order cutting force equations are developed using the response surface methodology (RSM) to study the effect of four input cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, radial depth and axial depth of cut) on cutting force. The separate effect of individual input factors and the interaction between these factors are also investigated in this study. The received second order equation shows, based on the variance analysis, that the most influential input parameter was the feed rate followed by axial depth, and radial depth of cut. It was found that the interaction of feed with axial depth was extremely strong. In addition, the interactions of feed with radial depth; and feed rate with radial depth of cut were observed to be quite significant. The predictive models in this study are believed to produce values of the longitudinal component of the cutting force close to those readings recorded experimentally with a 95% confident interval.

In any machining operations, quality is the important conflicting objective. In order to give assurance for high productivity, some extent of quality has to be compromised. Similarly productivity will be decreased while the efforts are channelized to enhance quality. In this study,  the experiments were carried out on a CNC vertical machining center (KENT and INDIA Co. Ltd, Taiwan make) to perform 10mm slots on Al 6351-T6 alloy work piece by K10 carbide, four flute end milling cutter as per taguchi design of experiments plan by L9 orthogonal array was choosen to determine experimental trials. Furthermore the spindle speed (rpm), the feed rate (mm/min) and depth of cut (mm) are regulated in these experiments. Surface roughness and chip thickness was measured by a surface analyser of Surf Test-211 series (Mitutoyo) and Digital Micrometer (Mitutoyo) with least count 0.001 mm respectively. Grey relational analysis was employed to minimize surface roughness and chip thickness by setting of optimum combination of machining parameters. Minimum surface roughness and chip thickness obtained with 1000 rpm of spindle speed, 50 mm/min feed rate and 0.7 mm depth of cut respectively. Confirmation experiments showed that Gray relational analysis precisely optimized the drilling parameters in drilling of Al 6351-T6 alloy.

In this study, the transition of cutting force in the tangential and radial direction during one cut was investigated in milling of AISI-1045, AISI-304, and Ti-6Al-4V with a TiN coated carbide throw-away insert. In the case of 1045 and Ti-6Al-4V, there was not obvious difference in tangential forces between up-cut and down-cut. However, up-cut showed larger radial force than down-cut in any material. In down-cut, tangential force showed almost the same regardless of radial depth of cut. 304 and Ti-6Al-4V caused larger radial force with the increase of radial depth of cut at the same cut chip thickness.

Metal matrix composite is composite material that combines the metallic properties of matrix alloys and additional element to reinforce the product. This paper evaluates the machining performance of uncoated carbide and coated carbide in terms of surface integrity during end milling of LM6 aluminium MMC. The parameter of cutting speed, feed rate and axial depth of cut were kept constant at 3000 rpm spindle speed, 60 mm/min feed rate and 0.5 axial dept of cut. The radial depth of cut were varied from 0.01mm to 0.1 mm. The results indicated that uncoated carbide show the better performance in terms of surface roughness and surface profile, as compared to coated carbide. On the other hand, coated carbide cutting tools suffered with built-up-edge formation at the tool edge, hence caused shearing effect and deterioration at the tool-chip interface. This study is expected to provide understanding of machining metal matrix composites based materials.

Rounded cutting-edge radius is commonly applied to finish and semi-finish cutting, precision machining and micro-machining. The optimum effect is closely related to the work and tool material as well as machining parameters. However, for numerous cutting process, the optimal radius of rounded cutting-edge radius and machining parameters applied in the AISI H13 of end-milling is yet unknown Therefore, in improving tool life and cutting tool performance, a suitable design of cutting edge geometry regarding cutting edge-radius and machining parameters need to be examined and properly selected. In this regard, the paper deals to examine the effect of cutting edge-radius in rounded form and machining parameters of cutting force, cutting temperature and chip formation through the end-milling process of AISI H13 using uncoated cemented carbide cutting tool through finite element simulation of Thirdwave AdvantEdge 7.2 software. The machining parameters applied in the simulation setup were 200 and 240m/min of cutting speed, 0.03 and 0.06mm/tooth of feed-rate and axial depth of cut of 0.1 and 0.2mm while width of cut in radial direction was kept constant at 6.0mm. The cutting geometries includes the cutting-edge radius of 0.03 and 0.05mm and 10° of rake angle. The obtained results revealed that cutting forces and cutting temperature is increase as depth of cut in axial direction and cutting-edge radius increases while increasing value of speed and feed-rate of cutting resulted in decreasing cutting forces but increasing cutting temperature. The maximum cutting temperature is 674.91℃. The value obtained is lesser than the AISI H13 austenitizing temperature, therefore a layer known as white layer is supposedly hard to be created based on the cutting geometry and machining parameters applied.

This paper presents a model to predict the cutting forces for flat end milling as machining gear indexing cam. Rotation feeding makes axial depth of cut and uncut chip thickness change during cutting process. The development of the model is based on the analysis of cutting edge expression. According to the existing the relationship of the local cutting force and chip load and assuming the cutter to be divided into a number of differential elements in the axial direction of the cutter, the model is derived by summarising the cutting forces produced by each differential cutter disc engaged in the cut. The equation for calculating uncut chip thickness of differential disc is educed. In order to avoid the complex computing for axial depth of cut of the entire edge, a unit square window function and its criterion are introduced to estimate whether a segment of edge is in engaging range.

Previous studies found that the peripheral cutting edge and end cutting edge in micro end milling had different cutting phenomena considering the size effect in micro cutting processes. This paper is a further study on this point considering different workpiece materials and cutting edge radii. Finite element simulations have been conducted to determine the minimum undeformed chip thickness (MUCT) by the chip morphology and the results are verified by micromilling experiments. Both the simulations and experiments show that the MUCT of the peripheral cutting edge and the end cutting edge are different even if the cutting edge radii remain unchanged. The MUCT is directly proportional to the cutting edge radius. Material properties also have some effects on the MUCT of the peripheral cutting edge. But it has limited effects on that of the end cutting edge. The results indicate that the feed engagement other than the axial depth of cut should be carefully selected in micro end milling when considering different workpiece materials.
