In this study, the tool performance of two types of binderless diamond tools – single-crystal diamond (SCD) and nano-polycrystalline diamond (NPD) – is investigated in the high-speed cutting of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) with a water-soluble coolant. The NPD tool allows for a larger cutting force than the SCD tool by dulling of the cutting edge, despite NPD being harder than SCD. This large cutting force and the very low thermal conductivity of NPD yield a high cutting temperature above 500°C, which promotes the adhesion of the workpiece to the tool face, thereby increasing tool wear. Based on the morphology of the tool edge without scratch marks and the elemental analysis by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) of both the flank face and the cutting chips, diffusion-dissolution wear is determined to be the dominant mechanism in the diamond tool. A thin TiC layer seems to be formed in the boundary between the diamond tool and the titanium alloy at high temperatures; this is removed by the cutting chips.

The history and application of the FEA are briefly presented in this paper. Several key technologies such as the building of material model, the establishment of the chip - tool friction model as well as meshing are described. Taking the high-speed cutting of titanium alloy (Ti - 10V - 2Fe - 3Al) as an example , reasonable cutting tools parameters are determined by simulating the influences of cutting temperature, cutting force on the tools parameters using FEA.

Titanium Alloy Ti6al4v

Cutting force coefficients were conventionally described as the power function of instantaneous uncut chip thickness. However, it was found that the changes in the three controllable machining parameters (cutting speed, feed and axial cutting depth) could significantly affect the values of cutting coefficients. An improved cutting force model was developed in this article based on the experimental investigation of end milling titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) with polycrystalline diamond tools. The relationships between machining parameters and cutting force are established based on the introduction of the new cutting coefficients. By integrating the effects of varying cutting parameters in the prediction model, cutting forces and the fluctuation of cutting force in each milling cycle were calculated. Validation experiments show that the predicted peak values of cutting forces highly match the experimental results; the accuracy of the model is up to 90% in predicting instantaneous cutting forces.

Cutting Experiments

In this paper, ultra-precision cutting experiments were carried out with titanium alloy material Ti-6A1-4V by using single crystalline diamond tools. Experimental results show that the wear patterns of rake face of diamond tools are crater wear and groove wear, the wear patterns of flank face of diamond tools are uniform wear and groove wear, and the wear mechanisms of single crystalline diamond tool are chemical wear and mechanical wear. Graphitization and microcosmic cleavage of the diamond tools occur in the cutting process.

Pcd Tools

The polycrystalline diamond (PCD) is made of sintered diamond fine powder with binder material, and shows clear isotropic characteristics and high toughness without frequent cleavage. As the PCD cutting tools require relatively low tool cost compared with single crystal diamond tools, they have wide applications as the precision cutting tools with the high abrasion resistance. The more sharp or complex shapes of PCD cutting tool are deeply expected even though they have the machining difficulties. In this study, the ultraviolet-irradiation polishing of single crystal diamond substrates developed in our laboratory (abbreviated as UV-polishing in this paper) was applied to realize advanced PCD tools with ultra-sharp or chamfered cutting edges. Firstly, the UV-polishing properties of PCD substrate were investigated, and high-quality polished surface with 2.6 nmRa was obtained. Secondly, the UV-polishing was applied to the precision polishing of the flank face of PCD cutting tool, and an ultra-sharp cutting edge was finally achieved. The chamfered cutting edge with desired angle and width was additionally formed by the UV-polishing to suppress the chipping left on the sharpened cutting edge. The tool wear of chamfered PCD cutting tools could be reduced almost by half to the sharpened tool under high-speed cutting of high silicon-aluminum alloy.

Edge Preparation

Tool edge preparation can improve the tool life, as well as cutting performance and machined surface quality, meeting the requirements of high-speed and high-efficiency cutting. In general, prepared tool edges could be divided into symmetric or asymmetric edges. In the present study, the cemented carbide tools were initially edge prepared through drag finishing. The simulation model of the carbide cemented tool milling steel was established through Deform software. Effects of edge form factor, spindle speed, feed per tooth, axial, and radial cutting depth on the cutting force, the tool wear, the cutting temperature, and the surface quality were investigated through the orthogonal cutting simulation. The simulated cutting force results were compared to the results obtained from the orthogonal milling experiment through the dynamometer Kistler, which verified the simulation model correctness. The obtained results provided a basis for edge preparation effect along with high-speed and high effective cutting machining comprehension.

Radial Depth

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%.
