The rock cutting process with a circular sawblade and the rock breaking mechanism of rock are studied with a numerical simulation method in this paper. The influence of cutting parameters of the circular sawblade on cutting force, rock damage, and specific cutting energy in the process of circular sawblade cutting rock is researched. The cutting force increases with the feed speed and an increase in cutting depth and decline in rotation speed. Cutting rock with double circular sawblades can reduce cutting force. However, the specific cutting energy declines with the increase in cutting depth and the decline in the distance between the double circular sawblades. Cutting parameters have a great influence on the damage range of rock. The research results can be applied to rock processing with a circular sawblade.

Aiming at the complex nonlinear dynamic problem of cutting hard rock with diamond sawblades, the process of hard rock cutting with a diamond sawblade was studied based on ANSYS/LS-DYNA. A numerical simulation model of a diamond sawblade cutting hard rock with different rotation speeds, feed speeds, and cutting depths was established to study the effects of the cutting parameters on the cutting force and specific cutting energy consumption and on the damage to the rock. The numerical simulation results demonstrated that the feed speed and cutting depth of the diamond saw are quadratically correlated with the cutting force, but the rotation speed is negatively linearly correlated. The damage region of the rock is positively correlated with the feed speed and cutting depth of the diamond sawblade and has a negative correlation with the rotation velocity. The cutting parameters have a great influence on specific cutting energy consumption. Analysis of the relationship among the cutting parameters and the specific cutting energy with multivariate linear fitting indicated that the cutting speed and cutting depth have a great influence on the cutting energy.

The conical pick is the most crucial tool of roadheader for breaking rock, establishing the conical pick cutting rock and conical pick fatigue life numerical simulation models to investigate the influence of cutting parameters on rock damage, average peak cutting force, specific cutting energy and the conical pick fatigue life. The research results indicate that the width and depth of rock damage increase with increasing cutting depth and cutting speed. The average peak cutting force and the specific cutting energy have the same changing tendency. The changing trend of conical pick fatigue life and conical pick stress is opposite relationship. The optimum cutting angle of the conical pick cutting rock is 45°. Applying the research results for guiding the optimization of the cutting parameters reduces the specific cutting energy and stress and improves the conical pick fatigue life.

In this paper, the cutting experiment was used to study the influence of various cutting parameters on cutting force when rough turning titanium alloy (TC4) with the whole CBN tool. The results indicate that among the cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth, the influence of the cutting depth is the most significant on cutting force; the next is the feed rate and the cutting speed is at least.

The new method of rock breaking based on the combination of circular sawblade and conical pick was proposed to improve the effectiveness of hard rock breaking. The numerical simulation method was applied to research the conical pick cutting arc rock plate by ANSYS/LS-DYNA. The conical pick cutting arc rock plate numerical simulation model was established to research the influence of arc rock plate structural parameters and cutting parameters on cracks formation and propagation of the arc rock plate and the cutting force in the process of conical pick cutting arc rock plate. The amount of cracks is positively correlated with arc rock plate thickness, the cutting speed, and distance of cutting point to arc rock plate central axis and negatively correlated with the cutting angle. The mean peak cutting force is positively correlated with the thickness of arc rock plate and the distance of cutting point to arc rock plate central axis; however, it is negatively correlated with the arc rock plate height and width and cutting angle of conical pick. The simulation results can be used to predict the conical pick work performance with various cutting parameters and structural parameters.

The surface of worn dies are often machined to remove the worn layer and then to re-form its shape. But, in machining operations for hardened materials, the high cutting force sometimes yields bending deflection of low stiffness tools, and results the decrease in productivity and accuracy.In this study, surface treatment by pulsed laser is applied for the high hardness materials to improve the machinability in the machining operation. Die steels are used as work material machined with ball endmills of carbide in the experiments where the cutting force and the actual depth of cut are measured to obtain the specific cutting energy and to evaluate the machinability. In endmilling operations of the nitrided die steels, the actual depth of cut is decreased by the bending deflection of endmill. However, the surface treatment with laser moderates the decreasing of the actual depth of cut. It is confirmed that the surface of workpiece pre-treated with laser has larger roughness than un-treated ones, and the specific cutting energy is decreased by laser surface pre-treatment.

Rock damage is one of the key factors in the design and model choice of mining machinery. In this paper, the influence of rock damage on rock fragmentation and cutting performance was studied using PFC 2D . In PFC 2D software, it is feasible to get rock models with different damage factors by reducing the effective modulus, tensile and shear strength of bond by using the proportional factors. A linear relationship was obtained between the proportion factor and damage factor. Furthermore, numerical simulations of rock cutting with different damage factors were carried out. The results show that with the increase of damage factor, the rock cutting failure mode changes from tensile failure to brittle failure, accompanied by the propagation of macro cracks, the formation of large debris and a notable decrease in the peak cutting force. The mean cutting force is negatively correlated with the damage factor. Besides this, the instability of cutting force was evaluated by the fluctuation index and the pulse number of unit displacement. It was found that the cutting force was quite stable when the damage factor was 0.3, which improves the reliability of cutting machines. Finally, the cutting energy consumption of rock cutting with different damage factors was analysed. The results reveal that an increase of damage factor can raise the rock cutting efficiency. The aforementioned findings play a significant role in the development of assisted rock-breaking technologies and the design of cutting head layout of mining machinery.

A series of milling experiments with and without cutting fluid, arranged by uniform design method, were carried out on rotor material. The influence of cutting fluid on cutting force and surface roughness was explored and compared for the two kinds of conditions. The associated model was established between cutting force & surface roughness and cutting parameters according to the linear multivariable regression method. The results show that the cutting force deceases with the increase of the cutting speed or with the decrease of the feed per tooth and the cutting depth. Cutting fluid has little effect on cutting force, and for surface roughness, the influence of cutting fluid is uncertain.

Titanium alloys are widely used in aviation and aerospace industry due to their special mechanical properties. In the process of machining titanium alloys, cutting force is an important physical quantity. In this paper, a series of experiments were carried out to investigate the cutting force in detail during high feed milling of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V with different high feed cutters. Effects of cutting parameters, such as milling speed, feed per tooth, radial cutting depth and axial cutting depth on cutting force were analyzed. The results showed that cutting force presented an obvious increasing trend with the increase of feed per tooth and axial cutting depth. However, the effects of cutting speed and radial cutting depth on cutting force were not obvious.
