Coupling Behavior

The high-speed milling of titanium alloy is a very complex nonlinear dynamic cutting process, and there are mutual coupling effects between multiple physical fields of the tool. Therefore, the thermo-mechanical coupling behavior of micro-textured ball-end milling cutters during the cutting of titanium alloy was studied in depth, combined with theoretical calculations, milling experiments and simulation analysis. First, based on the experimental data of milling titanium alloy, the stress field of the micro-textured ball-end milling cutter was solved. Then, the dimensional method was used to solve the temperature field of the micro-textured ball-end milling cutter. Finally, the thermo-mechanical coupling simulation analysis of the micro-textured ball-end milling cutter was carried out, and the stress concentration area and tool breakage area of the micro-textured ball-end milling cutter under the thermo-mechanical coupling effect are obtained. This in turn gives a theoretical basis for further improving the performance and tool life of micro-textured cutters.

The Relationship

Researches on the effect of the micro-texture on the cutting performance and the life of cutters are mostly aimed at turning cutters, but there are few researches on the ball-end milling cutter. On the basis geometry of the micro-texture, the distribution and the relationship among the geometric parameters of micro-pits are studied. A mechanical characteristic model of machining titanium alloy with the micro-texture ball-end milling cutter is established. Optimal parameters of the micro-texture are determined by the simulation. By the test of machining the titanium alloy with the micro-texture ball-end milling cutter, anti-friction properties, the influence laws of the micro-texture diameter on forces, and area occupancy on the tool wear are studied. This article provides a theoretical reference for determining the location of the micro-texture on ball-end milling cutter and selecting texture parameters reasonably. The anti-friction mechanism of the micro-texture is revealed by the theory, which provides a theoretical basis for the efficient processing of titanium alloy.

In the milling of titanium alloy, the distribution of milling force and its related law of change seriously affect the physical properties of workpiece materials, the stress distribution on a cutter’s rake face and the interaction between the workpiece, the cutter and the chip. This article reports on a study of the stress field distribution under the conditions of anti-friction and anti-wear when cutting titanium alloy with a micro-textured ball-end milling cutter. Milling test data were used to establish empirical models of milling force and the contact area between the cutter and the chip. Based on this, the force density function of the cutter coordinate system was obtained and the equivalent stress and displacement of the cutter were simulated and analyzed. This in turn provided the means to acquire the instantaneous stress and strain relating to the cutter at any time. Analysis of the simulation results shows that the position in which the stress and strain are concentrated on the cutter is consistent with actual processing. This confirms the accuracy of the force density function and provides the basis for further study of thermo-mechanical coupling behaviors when engaged in using micro-textured ball-end milling cutters for the cutting of titanium.

Adopted the cutting-contact model of high speed ball-end milling hardened steel surfaces, researched distribution characteristics of cutting-contact stress; by researching the influence of the distribution of this stress on cutter wear, clarified the influence theory of milling pattern and cutting parameters on initial wear of milling cutter. By using the method of climbing, conventional milling alternating and changing cutting parameters, verified the influence of milling pattern and cutting parameters on initial wear pattern. The result showed that, initial wear mechanism of high speed milling hardened steel is an interaction of multiple wear mechanisms under the effect of friction and alternating pressure stress, by using conventional milling can significantly reduce concave curvature radius of hardened steel, the contact stress of blade area and front, rear flank, inhibit crushing and wear rate of the milling cutter surfaces. Under this condition, by increasing rotation speed and reducing the feed per blade, will further increase the strength of this effect, and achieve the purpose of reducing the initial wear, inhibiting the wear rate and extending the cutters life.

Problems such as low machining efficiency, severe tool wear and difficulty in safeguarding surface quality always exist in the machining process of titanium alloy with ball-end milling cutters. To address these issues, the design and manufacture of a revolving cycloid milling cutter for titanium alloy processing were studied in this paper. Firstly, the mathematical model of the revolving cycloid milling cutter contour surface was established. The parametric equation of an orthogonal helix cutting edge curve of a revolving cycloid milling cutter is presented. Then, the bottom boundary curve of the rake face is introduced. The five-axis grinding trajectory equation of revolving cycloid milling cutter rake face was derived based on the edge curve equation and coordinate transformation. Next, fabricating the revolving cycloid milling cutter and detecting the grinding accuracy of tool profile and geometric angle were performed. At last, a contrast test regarding the performance of the revolving cycloid milling cutter and the ball-end milling cutter in cutting titanium alloy TC11 was carried out. According to the test results, in comparison to the ball-end milling cutter, the revolving cycloid milling cutter had a smaller ratio of the axial force to the tangential force. Moreover, its flank face wore more slowly and evenly. As a result, a good surface processing quality can be maintained even under larger wear conditions, demonstrating an outstanding cutting performance.

When precision cutting titanium alloy, the cutting part of cutting tool is mainly concentrated in the cutting edge area, so there is a strong emphasis upon the cutting edge’s geometric parameters. Studies have found that putting a micro-texture on the cutting surface can reduce the cutting force. This article looks at the milling force involved in cutting titanium alloy with a micro-textured ball-end milling cutter with different shaped cutting edges. First, a milling model relating to different cutting edges is established based on the traditional model of milling force. Then, the effects of different cutting edge geometry parameters and micro-texture parameters on milling force are simulated and tested using a finite element method. With milling force serving as the evaluation index, the optimum micro-texture parameters for a blunt circular cutting edge are a micro-pit diameter of 40 μm, a distance between micro-pits of 175 μm, a distance from the cutting edge of 110 μm, and a blunt circle radius of 60 μm. For a negative chamfer edge, the optimum parameters were a micro-pit diameter of 50 μm, a distance between micro-pits of 175 μm, a distance from the cutting edge of 120 μm, an edge width of 200 μm, and an edge angle of 10°.

In order to depress cutter vibration caused by high hardness and periodic change of cutting force in high speed milling complex surface, investigated the modal characteristics of ball-end milling cutter through the modal analysis and transient analysis. Using the models of dynamic cutting force and cutting vibration, acquired dynamics characteristics of high speed ball-end milling cutter by the spectrum analysis of dynamic cutting force, simulation analysis of cutting vibration and experiment of high speed milling hardened steel. Results indicate that high speed ball-end milling energy concentrates in few special frequencies, the rotational speed and the numbers of cutter teeth determine the fundamental frequency. High speed ball-end milling cutter easily makes radial bending vibration by the lower modal characteristics, the overhang and inclination angle of cutter affect its dynamics characteristics significantly, and the modal parameters and vibration model of cutter acquired by step response method have higher credibility.
