Different materials coated on milling tools (tungsten carbide) such as TiCN, TiAlN, TiN and DLC are integrated in this study for the analysis of cutting performance such as tool wear, surface roughness and noise induced in high-speed machining of mold steels such as NAK80 and SKD61 under different combinations of cutting conditions. The study attempts to find out the advantages and adaptabilities in various coating materials being suitable for which cutting circumferences with specific performance request. High-speed milling experiments of NAK80 and SKD61 mold steels with four materials coating tools were carried out in the laboratory. The tool wear was measured through the toolmaker’s microscope and the roughness of the machined surface was measured by the roughness measuring instruments after each surface layer was removed from the workpiece in the experiment. Besides, the noise-mediator was used to detect cutting noise during each surface layer workpiece removing of high-speed milling process, and the curl chips removed from the workpiece were also collected for the result verifications. Good surface quality and small amount of tool wear can be achieved under the cutting conditions of high-speed revolutions, small feed rate and small depth of cut for four materials coating tools. From the observations of the annealing temperature from the removed chips and the analysis of the cutting noise levels, TiAlN material coating tool has the better tool life and it is suitable for rougher high-speed machining, while DLC material coating tool only has a good surface roughness in shallow cut and hence it is not suitable for high-speed machining of mold steel with excellent cutting performance request.

Wear Characteristics

According to the condition of the high speed milling aluminum (al) blades, the wear characteristics of the carbide tool was observed, whose wear characteristics mainly were flank wear, micro-tipping, exfoliation and so on. With the increase of the cutting time, the tool wear became larger according to the increment of the spindle speed. At the condition of the same feed per tooth, applying high speed finish milling for al alloy blades whose cutting efficiency increased remarkably, surface roughness decreased, high speed machining was adopted in real applications to achieve high economical benefits.

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.

Results of a four-year Advanced Machining Research Program (AMRP) to provide a science base for faster metal removal through high-speed machining (HSM), high-throughput machining (HTM) and laser-assisted machining (LAM) are presented. Emphasis was placed on turning and milling of aluminum-, nickel-base-, titanium-, and ferrous alloys. Experimental cutting speeds ranged from 0.0013 smm (0.004 sfpm) to 24,500 smm (80,000 sfpm). Chip formation in HSM is found to be associated with the formation of either a continuous, ribbon-like chip or a segmental (or shear-localized) chip. The former is favored by good thermal properties, low hardness, and fcc/bcc crystal structures, e.g., aluminum alloys and soft carbon steels, while the latter is favored by poor thermal properties, hcp structure, and high hardness, e.g., titanium alloys, nickel base superalloys, and hardened alloy steels. Mathematical models were developed to describe the primary features of chip formation in HSM. At ultra-high speed machining (UHSM) speeds, chip type does not change with speed nor does tool wear. However, at even moderately high speeds, tool wear is still the limiting factor when machining titanium alloys, superalloys, and special steels. Tool life and productivity can be increased significantly for special applications using two novel cutting tool concepts – ledge and rotary. With ledge inserts, titanium alloys can be machined (turning and face milling) five times faster than conventional, with long tool life (~ 30 min) and cost savings up to 78 percent. A stiffened rotary tool has yielded a tool life improvement of twenty times in turning Inconel 718 and about six times when machining titanium 6A1-4V. Significantly increased metal removal rates (up to 50 in.3/min on Inconel 718 and Ti 6A1-4V) have been achieved on a rigid, high-power precision lathe. Continuous wave CO2 LAM, though conceptually feasible, limits the opportunities to manufacture DOD components due to poor adsorption (~ 10 percent) together with high capital equipment and operating costs. Pulse LAM shows greater promise, especially if new laser source concepts such as face pump lasers are considered. Economic modeling has enabled assessment of HSM and LAM developments. Aluminum HSM has been demonstrated in a production environment and substantial payoffs are indicated in airframe applications.

Abstract Large-scale slender beam structures with weak stiffness are widely used in the aviation field. There will be a great deformation problem in machining because the overall stiffness of slender beam parts is lower. Firstly, the cutting mechanism and stability theory of the Ti6Al4V material are analyzed, and then the auxiliary support is carried out according to the machining characteristics of the slender beam structure. The feasibility of the deformation suppression measures for the slender beam is verified by experiments. The experimental analysis shows that on the basis of fulcrum auxiliary support, the filling of paraffin melt material is capable of increasing the damping of the whole system, improving the overall stiffness of the machining system, and inhibiting the chatter effect of machining. This method is effective to greatly improve the accuracy and efficiency during machining of slender beam parts. On the premise of the method of processing support with the combination of fulcrum and paraffin, if the tool wear is effectively controlled, the high precision machining of large-scale slender beams can be realized effectively, and the machining deformation of slender beams can be reduced. Although high speed milling has excellent machining effect on the machining accuracy of titanium alloy materials, severe tool wear is observed during high-speed milling of titanium alloy materials. Therefore, high-speed milling of titanium alloy slender beam is suitable to be carried out in the finishing process, which can effectively control tool wear and improve the machining accuracy of parts. Finally, the process verification of typical weak stiffness slender beam skeleton parts is carried out. Through the theoretical and technical support of the experimental scheme, the machining of large-scale slender beam structure parts with weak stiffness is realized.

The Impact

The use of electrical energy and coolants/lubricants has been widely reported in mechanical machining. However, increased research and process innovation in high speed machining has brought about optimised manufacturing cycle times. This has promoted dry machining and the use of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). This work understudies the impact of different cutting environments in machining H13 tool steel alloys at transition speed regime with emphasis on sustainable machining of the alloy. To achieve this, end milling tests were performed on AISI H13 steel alloy (192 BHN) on a MIKRON HSM 400 high speed machining centre using milling inserts. After each cutting pass, the milling insert was removed for tool wear measurement on the digital microscope. The electrical power consumed was measured with the Fluke 435 power clamp meter mounted on the three phase cable at the back of the machine. It was discovered that MQL has a promising advantage in terms of tool life with 25 minutes of machining, net power requirement of 10% when compared to dry cutting, and environmental benefits when machining H13 tool steel alloy. This work is fundamentally important in assessing the environmental credentials and resource efficiency regime for green machining of H13 tool steel alloysKeywords— H13 tool steel, green machining, process optimization, tool life, cutting environments, energy consumption

High speed milling experiments using nitrogen-oil-mist as cutting medium were undertaken to investigate the characteristics of tool wear for Ti-6Al-4V Alloy, a kind of important and commonly used titanium alloy in the aerospace and automobile industries. Uncoated carbide tools have been applied in the experiments. The cutting speed was 300 m/min. The axial depth of cut and the radial depth of cut were kept constant at 5.0 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively. The feed per tooth was 0.1 mm/z. Optical and scanning electron microscopes have been utilized to determine the wear mechanisms of the cutting tools, and energy spectrum analysis has been carried out to measure the elements distribution at the worn areas. Meanwhile, comparisons were made to discuss the influence of different cutting media such as nitrogen-oil-mist and air-oil–mist upon the tool wear. The results of this investigation indicate that the tool life in nitrogen-oil-mist is significantly longer than that in air-oil-mist, and nitrogen-oil-mist is more suitable for high speed milling of Ti-6Al-4V alloy than air-oil-mist.
