A series of high-speed milling tests of Inconel 718 were carried out utilizing SiAlON ceramic tools, and the transitions of the cutting edge geometry and cutting forces were investigated. Through the experimental investigations, it was confirmed that the cutting edge is worn rapidly and a round shape is formed at the initial stage of machining. The radius of the round cutting edge becomes considerably large with respect to the uncut chip thickness, and thus the ploughing process is dominant in ceramic milling like general micro cutting operations. Based on the observed phenomena, a quasi-mechanistic model for cutting force prediction was proposed, where the measured cutting edge geometry and the contact stress distribution at the toolworkpiece interface are taken into account. The estimated cutting force by the proposed model showed a good agreement with the measured one. Minimizing the estimation error in the cutting forces, contact stresses of the cutting edge to the workpiece are identified. Stress field analysis using the estimated contact stresses revealed that the large tensile stress instantaneously generates around the stagnation point. This mechanism may contribute to the generation of the rake face flaking, which determines the end of the tool life.

High-speed milling tests were performed on vol. (5%-8%) TiCp/TC4 composite in the speed range of 50-250 m/min using PCD tools to nvestigate the cutting temperature and the cutting forces. The results showed that radial depth of cut and cutting speed were the two significant influences that affected the cutting forces based on the Taguchi prediction. Increasing radial depth of cut and feed rate will increase the cutting force while increasing cutting speed will decrease the cutting force. Cutting force increased less than 5% when the reinforcement volume fraction in the composites increased from 0% to 8%. Radial depth of cut was the only significant influence factor on the cutting temperature. Cutting temperature increased with the increasing radial depth of cut, feed rate or cutting speed. The cutting temperature for the titanium composites was 40-90 °C higher than that for the TC4 matrix. However, the cutting temperature decreased by 4% when the reinforcement's volume fraction increased from 5% to 8%.

This study was carried out to investigate how the high-speed milling of Inconel 718 using ball nose end mill could enhance the productivity and quality of the finish parts. The experimental work was carried out through Response Surface Methodology via Box-Behnken design. The effect of prominent milling parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut (DOC), and width of cut (WOC) were studied to evaluate their effects on tool life, surface roughness and cutting force. In this study, the cutting speed, feed rate, DOC, and WOC were in the range of 100 - 140 m/min, 0.1 - 0.2 mm/tooth, 0.5 - 1.0 mm and 0.2 - 1.8 mm, respectively. In order to reduce the effect of heat generated during the high speed milling operation, minimum quantity lubrication of 50 ml/hr was used. The effect of input factors on the responds was identified by mean of ANOVA. The response of tool life, surface roughness and cutting force together with calculated material removal rate were then simultaneously optimized and further described by perturbation graph. Interaction between WOC with other factors was found to be the most dominating factor of all responds. The optimum cutting parameter which obtained the longest tool life of 60 mins, minimum surface roughness of 0.262 μm and resultant force of 221 N was at cutting speed of 100 m/min, feed rate of 0.15 mm/tooth, DOC 0.5 m and WOC 0.66 mm.

High-speed machining provides an efficient approach for machining Inconel 718 with high quality and high efficiency. For high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface, the geometrical characteristics are changing continuously leading to a sharp fluctuation of cutting force, which will aggravate the tool wear. As the wear mechanism of coated cutting tool is seriously affected by the cutting tool geometrical parameters, suitable geometrical parameters of cutting tool should be selected to avoid the cutting tool from being worn out very quickly. In this study, the influence of cutting tool geometrical parameters on tool wear in high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface is investigated with coated cutting tool, and the cutting force in milling process is also analyzed. The results show that the cutting force variation can manifest the tool wear degree, and the failure type of coated cutting tool in plane milling and curved surface milling after the same cutting length is different. Furthermore, the cutting tool geometrical parameters seriously affect the tool wear and the tool life in high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface. Concretely, the small rake angle has greater strength and has superiority, the relief angle increasing can enhance the tool life, and the tool life is decreased with the increasing of helix angle for the cutting tool, whose helix angle is larger than 30°. This study provides a theoretical basis for cutting tool wear mechanism and cutting tool geometrical parameter selection in high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface, so as to guarantee the machining efficiency in high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface.

This paper makes an experiment in high-speed milling of Inconel 718. Cutting tests were performed using round and ceramic tools, at feeds from 0.06 to 0.14 mm/tooth, Axial Depth of Cut from0.5 to 1.5mm,and cutting speeds ranging from 500 to 1037 m/min. The behaviour of the cutting forces during machining was then measure. The results show that cutting force increases first and then decreases with the increase of feed per tooth, the tool chipping and groove wear were found with the increase of axial cutting depth, and cutting force is increased; the increase in cutting force with the cutting speed increases, when the cutting speed reaches a critical speed, the cutting force as the cutting speed increases began to decline.

Cutting tools suffer severe abrasive friction and wear in high speed milling of graphite. Cutting forces were measured and analyzed using time-frequency analysis method to reveal the correlation between cutting force variations and tool wear evolution. The static and dynamic force components increased prominently with tool wear. The cutting force Fy was found the most sensitive to the tool wear evolution. The waveform of cutting force became periodic and irregular with the increase of tool wear. Good correlation was found between the first force harmonic and tool wear.

In order to provide theory basis for optimizing high-speed milling parameters, the high-speed milling process of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V was modeled using the commercial general purpose machining software package ADVANTEDGE. Effects of milling parameters like milling speed, feed per tooth, milling depth and milling width on cutting force and temperature were analyzed. The results show that cutting forces decrease with milling speed increasing, and increase with feed per tooth, milling depth and milling width, and the influences of feed per tooth, milling depth and milling width on cutting forces are significant. The maximum temperature in the cutting zone located on the rake face at a distance of about 0.02~0.03 mm from the tool tip. As milling speed and feed per tooth increase, the maximum temperature in the cutting area increases. The milling speed has significant impact on cutting temperature, but the milling depth has little impact.
