Turn-milling is regarded as the milling of a curved surface while rotating the workpiece around its center point, which combines effectively the advantages of both turning and milling, wherein it allows for good metal removal with the difficult-to-cut thin-walled workpieces in aviation. The objective of the present work is to study cutting force by turn-milling in cutting condition. Aiming at the deformation properties of thin-walled blade, the predicted models of rigid cutting force and flexible cutting force with ball cutter are provided, respectively, in turn-milling process. The deformation values of blade and cutter are calculated, respectively, based on the engaged trajectory by using the iterative algorithm. The rigid and flexible cutting forces are compared and the influence degrees of cutting parameters on cutting forces are analyzed. These conclusions provide theoretical foundation and reference for turn-milling mechanism research.

The scope of the paper is to discuss the identification of cutter axis tilt in end milling process via cutting force analysis. Cutter axis tilt redistributes the chip load among flutes thereby generating minor frequency components of cutting forces. These minor components can be utilized to infer the tilt geometry during the cutting action. This study involved the mathematical representation of chip thickness variation due to tilt, the modeling of local forces in relation to instantaneous chip thickness, the formulation of total cutting forces through convolution integration in the angle domain, the derivation of dynamic force components in the frequency domain, and the solution for tilt geometry from the dynamic cutting forces. Results show that the tilt magnitude and orientation can be estimated given the dynamic cutting force components along with the tool/work geometry, cutting parameters, and machining configuration. Numerical simulation results confirmed the validity of the angle domain convolution approach, and the end milling experimental data agreed with the analytical model.

Five-axis milling is widely used in machining of complex surfaces parts. Part quality and productivity are extremely affected by cutting force and tool wear, especially thin-walled complex surface, such as turbine blade. Although extensive research has been conducted on cutting force and tool wear in 3-milling process, very few are on 5-axis milling and bull-nose mills. This paper presents cutting forces with various cutting conditions as well as tool wear patterns in five-axis milling super alloy, which is essential to cutting vibration and defelction analysis of thin-walled complex surfaces parts. The roles of lead angle and tilt angle in five axis milling were investigated, which provide data for NC program edit. In addition, experiments in this research proved that tool wear played affected cutting forces outstandingly.Therefore, tool wear played an very important role in tool change.

An adaptive force model is presented to predict the cutting force and the chip flow direction in milling. The chip flow model in the milling process is made by piling up the orthogonal cuttings in the planes containing the cutting velocities and the chip flow velocities. The chip flow direction is determined to minimize the cutting energy. The cutting force is predicted using the determined chip flow model. The force model requires the orthogonal cutting data, which associate the orthogonal cutting models with the cutting parameters. Basically, the required data for simulation can be measured in the orthogonal cutting tests. However, it is difficult to perform the cutting tests with specialized setups in the machine shops. The paper presents the adaptive model to accumulate and update the orthogonal cutting data with referring the measured cutting forces in milling. The orthogonal cutting data are identified to minimize the error between the predicted and the measured cutting forces. Then, the cutting forces can be predicted well in many cutting operations using the identified orthogonal cutting data. The adaptive is effective not only in extending the database but also in improving the quality of the database for the accurate predictions.

In order to realize the environmental hazard, this paper presents the investigation of the machinability of ball-end milling process with the dry cutting, the wet cutting, and the mist cutting for aluminum. The relations of the surface roughness, the cutting force, and the cutting parameters are examined based on the experimental results by using the Response Surface Analysis with the Box-Behnken design. The in-process cutting force is monitored to analyze the relations of the surface roughness and the cutting parameters. The proper cutting condition can be determined easily referring to the minimum use of cutting fluid, and the minimum surface roughness and cutting force of the surface plot. The effectiveness of the obtained surface roughness and cutting force models have been proved by utilizing the analysis of variance at 95% confident level.

In the process of milling thin-walled plate, chatter is one of the major limitations on productivity and part quality even for high speed and high precision milling machines. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid chatter with a suitable choice of cutting condition. This paper studies the dynamic stability models of milling the thin-walled plate by analyzing the geometrical relationship of cutting, and derives the mathematic expressions in theory. Moreover, this paper develops a three-dimensional lobes diagram of the spindle speed, the axial depth and the radial depth. Through the three-dimensional lobes, it is possible to choose the appropriate cutting parameters according to the dynamic behavior of the chatter system.

Turn-milling is a hybrid machining process which used benefits of interrupted cutting for proceeding of round bars. However, number of controllable parameters in the hybrid process is numerous that makes optimizing the process complicated. In the present study, an optimization work has been proposed to investigate the trade-off between production rate and cutting force in roughing regime as well surface roughness and tensile residual stress in finishing regime. Number of 43 experiments based on response surface methodology was designed and carried out to gather required data for development of quadratic empirical models. Then, the adequacy and importance of process factors were analyzed using analysis of variances. Finally, desirability function was used to optimize the process in rough and finish machining regimes. The obtained results showed that selection of eccentricity and cutter speed at their maximum working range can effectively enhance the quality characteristics in both the roughing and finishing regimes.

Additive manufacturing (AM), partly due to its compatibility with computer-aided design (CAD) and fabrication of intricate shapes, is an emerging production process. Postprocessing, such as machining, is particularly necessary for metal AM due to the lack of surface quality for as-built parts being a problem when using as a production process. In this paper, a predictive model for cutting forces has been developed by using artificial neural networks (ANNs). The effect of tool path and cutting condition, including cutting speed, feed rate, machining allowance, and scallop height, on the generated force during machining of spherical components such as prosthetic acetabular shell was investigated. Also, different annealing processes like stress relieving, mill annealing and β annealing have been carried out on the samples to better understand the effect of brittleness, strength, and hardness on machining. The results of this study showed that ANN can accurately apply to model cutting force when using ball nose cutters. Scallop height has the highest impact on cutting forces followed by spindle speed, finishing allowance, heat treatment/annealing temperature, tool path, and feed rate. The results illustrate that using linear tool path and increasing annealing temperature can result in lower cutting force. Higher cutting force was observed with greater scallop height and feed rate while for higher finishing allowance, cutting forces decreased. For spindle speed, the trend of cutting force was increasing up to a critical point and then decreasing due to thermal softening.

An accurate prediction of cutting forces in the micro end milling, which is affected by many factors, is the basis for increasing the machining productivity and selecting optimal cutting parameters. This paper develops a dynamic cutting force model in the micro end milling taking into account tool vibrations and run-out. The influence of tool run-out is integrated with the trochoidal trajectory of tooth and the size effect of cutting edge radius into the static undeformed chip thickness. Meanwhile, the real-time tool vibrations are obtained from differential motion equations with the measured modal parameters, in which the process damping effect is superposed as feedback on the undeformed chip thickness. The proposed dynamic cutting force model has been experimentally validated in the micro end milling process of the Al6061 workpiece. The tool run-out parameters and cutting forces coefficients can be identified on the basis of the measured cutting forces. Compared with the traditional model without tool vibrations and run-out, the predicted and measured cutting forces in the micro end milling process show closer agreement when considering tool vibrations and run-out.

Abstract Tungsten heavy alloys (WHAs) are ideally suited to a wide range of density applications such as counterweights, inertial masses, radiation shielding, sporting goods and ordnance products. Manufacturing of these components essentially require machining to achieve desired finish, dimensions and tolerances However, machining of WHAs are extremely challenging because of higher values of elastic stiffness and hardness. Hence, there is a need to find the right combination of cutting parameters to carry out the machining operations efficiently. In the present work, turning tests are conducted on three different grades of WHAs, namely, 90WHA, 95WHA and 97WHA. Taguchi analysis is carried out to find out the most contributing factor as well as optimum cutting parameters that can give higher metal removal rate (MRR), lower surface roughness and lower cutting forces. It is observed that feed rate is the most prominent factor with percentage contribution varying in the range of 46–61%; whereas cutting speed has least effect on cutting forces, especially for 95WHA and 97WHA. Optimum values of forces, surface roughness and MRR and the corresponding machining parameters to be taken are presented. It is observed that 95W WHA has slightly better machinability as compared to other two grades since it gives highest MRR with lowest cutting forces and surface roughness values. The optimum machining parameter settings, so predicted, can be utilized to machine WHAs efficiently for manufacture of counter weights and inertial masses used in aerospace applications.
