Abstract Power skiving is a promising method that can enhance the efficiency of gear machining. The machining mechanism is complicated due to several factors, such as the continuous variation in the rake angle and undeformed chip thickness. The tool wear process is also difficult to be evaluated due to the constantly varying in cutting conditions. Hence, to make a comprehensive understanding of the cutting process, we proposed a parametric modeling process based on the kinematics of power skiving. In this model, the undeformed cutting chip was calculated in each pass and shows the consistency with deformed cutting chip in experiments. The effective rake angle and undeformed cutting chip thickness were defined, calculated, and displayed on undeformed cutting chip for a better understanding of the cutting process. The cutting force and tool crater wear were calculated by estimating the distribution of the stress and temperature on the rake face of the cutting tool. Multiple radial-feed experimental evaluations were conducted with the gears of construction vehicles. In the results, the predicted margin of the absolute error of the normal force on the rake face was under 5% in every pass. The wear distribution on the rake face is consistent with the superimposed tool-chip contact area. The results show high potential for the optimization of the cutting tool or cutting conditions in gear power skiving.

Stone machining by diamond disk is a widespread process to manufacture standard products, such as tiles, slabs, and kerbs. Cutting force and energy may be used to monitor stone machining. Empirical models are required to guide the selection of cutting conditions. In this paper, the effects of cutting conditions on cutting force and cutting energy are related to the shape of the idealized chip thickness. The empirical models developed in this paper can be used to predict the variation of the cutting energy. Therefore these models can be used to guide the selection of cutting conditions. The chip generation and removal process has been quantified with the intention of assisting both the toolmaker and the stonemason in optimising the tool composition and cutting process parameters, respectively.

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.

A kind of new-type indexable insert with a three-dimensionally shaped rake face, namely the helical rake face, is developed in this present work, contributing to the formation of short conical helical chips acceptable for modern automated and unattended machining systems. The geometric parameters of the helical rake face consist of the helical gradient, the helical length, the beginning rake angle at the tool nose and the end rake angle on the cutting edge. The influences of these parameters on the side-curling of the chip and on the chip breakability are investigated. Under the cutting conditions employed in this paper, the cutting force measuring results show that the cutting component of the resultant tool force and the radial force when using the tool insert with the helical rake face are less than those when using the type CNMG120408-ZF tool insert, a kind of commercially available insert widely used.

Tool life and the rationality of cutting parameter setting are evaluated directly by cutting force. In order to predict cutting force, and then to optimize the tooth cutting condition for dry high-speed spiral bevel and hypoid gear cutting, this study has established a 2D cutting FEM simulation platform by using DEFORM-2D based on the 2D orthogonal slot milling experiment. Through the platform, using the method of combining single-factor experiment and multi-factor orthogonal experiment, this study has explored the influence of cutting/tool parameters on cutting force in the dry high-speed cutting process of 20CrMnTi spiral bevel and hypoid gear (face hobbing dry cutting process). The results show that from high degree to low degree, the influence of each parameter on cutting force is as follows: feed > cutting speed > relief angle(P.A.side) >blade rake angle, and the influence of the first three parameters is significant, the influence of blade rake angle is not significant; the optimized condition for dry high-speed spiral bevel and hypoid gear cutting is suggested to be: the cutting speed is 300 m/mim, the feed is 0.06 mm/r, the blade rake angle is 14° and the relief angle(P.A.side) is 10°; the cutting edge can be honed moderately, but the hone radius is not bigger than 0.1 mm.

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.

AbstractThe cutting force components and the cutting moment on the cutting tool were measured during the orthogonal machining of ice with cutting tools inclined at negative rake angles. The variables included the cutting depth (< 1 mm), the cutting speed (0.01 ms−1to 1 ms−1), and the rake angles (–15° to –60°). Results of the experiments showed that the cutting force components were approximately independent of cutting speed. The resultant cutting force on the tool was in a direction approximately normal to the cutting face of the tool. The magnitude of the resultant force increased with the negative rake angle. Photographs of ice-chip formation revealed continuous and segmented chips at different cutting depths.

Tool-chip friction increases cutting temperature, aggravates tool wear, and shortens the service life of cutting tools. A micro-groove design of the rake face can improve the wear performance of the tool. In this study, we used the finite element simulation “Deform” to obtain the temperature field distribution of the tool rake face. The size of the micro-groove was determined by selecting a suitable temperature field combined with the characteristics of tool–chip flow in the cutting process, and the tool was prepared using powder metallurgy. The three-direction cutting forces and tool tip temperature were obtained by a cutting test. Compared with the original turning tool, the cutting force and cutting temperature of the micro-groove tool were reduced by more than 20%, the friction coefficient was reduced by more than 14%, the sliding energy was reduced and the shear energy was greatly decreased. According to the analysis of tool wear by SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDS (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), the crater wear, adhesive wear and oxidation wear of the micro-groove tool were lower than those of the original turning tool. In particular, the change in the crater wear area on the rake face of the original tool and the micro-groove tool was consistent with the cutting temperature and the wear width of the flank face. On the whole, the crater wear area and the change rate of the crater wear area of the micro-groove tool were smaller. Due to the proper microgroove structure of the rake face, the tool-chip contact area decreased, and the second rake angle of the tool became larger. Hence, the tool-chip friction, cutting forces, cutting energy consumption were reduced, tool wear was improved, and the service life of the micro-groove tool was five times longer than that of the original tool.
