A method is described for calculating the chip flow direction in terms of the tool cutting edge geometry and the cutting conditions, namely feed and depth of cut. By defining an equivalent cutting edge based on the chip flow direction it is then shown how cutting forces can be predicted given the work material's flow stress and thermal properties. A comparison between experimental results obtained from bar turning tests and predicted values for a wide range of tool geometries and cutting conditions shows good agreement.

A method is described for calculating the chip flow direction in terms of the tool cutting edge geometry and cutting conditions. By defining an equivalent cutting edge based on the chip flow direction it is shown how cutting forces can be predicted under finishing conditions when the work material’s flow stress and thermal properties are known. A comparison between predicted and experimental results obtained for a range of tool geometries and cutting conditions shows good agreement. Surface roughness Ra values measured in the tests are compared with the theoretical values determined from the nose radius and feed.

Using the basic model of double edge cutting, the minimum value of the total shear area produced by the two cutting edges is calculated to determine the chip flow direction: shearing takes place in the corresponding direction of chip flow to make the shear area minimum under specific cutting parameters with sharp corner tools. The chip flow angle can be obtained using the expression of the variation of the shear area with the chip flow angle. In this study, RATIO is defined as the ratio of the main to the minor cutting edge length engaged in cutting and is set variable on the basis of the constant equivalent cutting area. The chip flow angle corresponding to different values of RATIO predicted by the current model shows good correlation with the experimental measurement and FEM simulation results for various cutting conditions. An investigation of the effects of RATIO on the chip flow angle has been made under various cutting conditions and it is demonstrated that RATIO has a significant influence on the chip flow angle.

Large wear of diamond tools for ultra-precision cutting of soft metals deteriorates quality of machined surface, and the worn tools have to be replaced with new tools when the tool wear reaches limited wear land width of cutting edge generating finished surface. However, it is difficult to predict the tool life since all cutting tools have individual tool life. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to estimate wear land width of cutting edge of a single crystal diamond tool having large nose radius by using static cutting forces during machining. As a result of the cutting tests and measurements, it was found that the ratio of thrust force to principal force had good relation with the ratio of flank wear land area to cutting cross section area. Furthermore, according to some detailed observation of flank wear, width of flank wear land was greatly related to uncut chip thickness obtained under different cutting conditions and it was found that width of flank wear land could be estimated by measured static cutting forces and cutting conditions.

A technique for measuring temperature close to the primary cutting edge in turning has been developed. The cutting temperatures of a 0.16 percent carbon bright drawn mild steel, have been measured for a range of cutting speeds and feedrates at a constant depth of cut. Tool nose radius was also varied. The correlations for the workpiece temperature of cutting speed and feedrate have been developed. The results show that the temperature correlates well with cutting speed and feedrate but the nose radius has little effect. Cutting forces were measured by a dynamometer and these were used to find the non zero forces at zero feedrate. These forces have been related to the deformation of the work material near the cutting edge of the tool and a method for calculating the cutting temperatures from these has been proposed.

This paper presents the additional work of the previous research in order to verify the previously obtained cutting condition by using the different cutting tool geometries. The effects of the cutting conditions with the dry cutting are monitored to obtain the proper cutting condition for the plain carbon steel with the coated carbide tool based on the consideration of the surface roughness and the tool life. The dynamometer is employed and installed on the turret of CNC turning machine to measure the in-process cutting forces. The in-process cutting forces are used to analyze the cutting temperature, the tool wear and the surface roughness. The experimentally obtained results show that the surface roughness and the tool wear can be well explained by the in-process cutting forces. Referring to the criteria, the experimentally obtained proper cutting condition is the same with the previous research except the rake angle and the tool nose radius.

Experimental study has been carried out to establish the effect of cutting conditions (speed, feed, and depth of cut) on the cutting forces and time variation of carbide tool wear data in high-speed machining (face milling) of Al-Si cast alloys that are commonly used in the automotive industry. The experimental setup and force measurement system are described. The test results are used to calibrate and validate the fracture mechanics-based tool wear model developed in Part 1 of this work. The model calibration is conducted for two combinations of cutting speed and a feed rate, which represent a lower and upper limit of the range of cutting conditions. The calibrated model is then validated for a wide range of cutting conditions. This validation is performed by comparing the experimental tool wear data with the tool wear predicted by calibrated cutting tool wear model. The prediction errors were found to be less then 7%, demonstrating the accuracy of the object oriented finite element (OOFE) modeling of the crack propagation process in the cobalt binder. It also demonstrates its capability in capturing the physics of the wear process. This is attributed to the fact that the OOF model incorporates the real microstructure of the tool material.

This paper presents finite element method (FEM) and experimental analysis on high-speed milling for thin-wall machining of Al7075-T651. Changes in cutting forces, temperature, and chip morphology according to cutting conditions are analyzed using FEM. Results of machining experiments are analyzed in terms of cutting forces and surface integrity such as surface roughness and surface condition. Variables of cutting conditions are feed per tooth, spindle speed, and axial depth of cut. Cutting conditions to improve surface integrity were investigated by analysis on cutting forces and surface roughness, and machined surface condition.

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.
