Ball End Milling

In this paper, a revolving cycloid milling cutter was designed with a larger effective cutting helix angle and rake angle than a ball end milling cutter of the same diameter. This new type of milling cutter can solve the problems of low machining efficiency, severe tool wear, and low surface quality in titanium alloy processing. A comparison of the cutting performance of titanium alloys processed by the revolving cycloid milling cutter and the ball end milling cutter was carried out to obtain the variation laws of the cutting force and the processing surface quality under different tool wear conditions. The result shows that the wear zone of the revolving cycloid milling cutter is shallow and wide compared to that of the ball end milling cutter. As the wear speeds up, the spoon-shaped wear gathering zone found in the ball end milling cutter does not happen with the revolving cycloid milling cutter. The revolving cycloid milling cutter can significantly lower the axial force, the tangential force, and the ratio of the axial force to the tangential force with a stable cutting process.

Ball End Milling

The ball end milling process, commonly used for generating complex shapes, involves continuous variation in the uncut chip dimensions, which depends on the cutter geometry and the machining parameters. The proposed analytical model evaluates the undeformed and the deformed chip dimensions including chip length, width and thickness. The undeformed and deformed chip dimensions, is a function of cutter rotation angle, instantaneous cutter radius, helix angle, and other processing parameters. The surface quality, in the form of surface roughness, during high-speed ball end milling of Inconel 718 is also analysed in this paper.

Tool wear is easy occurred in titanium alloy milling process which will affect the surface quality. Surface roughness and surface morphology as an important index to describe and evaluate the surface quality has a great influence on service performance. Therefore, the study on the effect of tool wear on surface qualities is important to improve the surface integrity of titanium alloy parts. Cutting radius of ball-end milling cutter is solved to analyze the effect of tool wear on the cutting radius. The tool wear and the surface qualities of TC4 are achieved through wear experiment. And then the influence law of tool wear on surface qualities and chip morphology are analyzed. The results show that surface roughness value decrease firstly and then increases and that chip morphology with flank wear increase from the unit chip to the serrated chip.

Machining of Complex Concave or Convex Surfaces Requires the Use of Ball End Milling Cutters. Obtaining the Expected Surface Quality Compete Various Technological Factors which should be Taken into Account. Following the Machining of the Surface with Different Inclination Angles between the Cutting Tool Axes and the Machined Surface, Significant Changes of the Surface Roughness have been Observed. Based on the Tests Performed, we can Determine the Range of the Tool Inclination Angle, which is the Best for the Surface Quality. we have also Made a Correlation between the Cutting Speeds, Inclination Angle of the Cutting Tool Toward the Machined Surface for an Obtained Surface Quality. the Presented Results are Based on Experimental Research in Industrial Conditions by Using CNC Machine Tools with 5 Axes. the Tests have been Performed on the C45 Material, Heat Treated to 34HRC.
