Abstract This paper presents a systematic study to analyze the dependence of cutting forces on tool geometry, workpiece material and cutting parameters such as spindle speed, tool engagement and cutting direction in flat-end milling with tool runout. The cutting forces are determined according to a mechanistic force model considering the trochoidal flute path to calculate the undeformed chip thickness, and average cutting force and linear regression model are applied for identifying the coefficients of the force model. A series of milling processes are conducted on AZ31 Magnesium (Mg) alloy and titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V) to analyze the instantaneous cutting force curves, amplitudes of cutting forces and peak forces over a wide range of spindle speeds from conventional to high-speed milling. It is demonstrated that the values of the cutting force coefficients are higher at conventional spindle speed and decrease with an increase in spindle speed, especially when machining Ti6Al4V alloy. For the edge force coefficients, it is observed a slight variation when using cutting tools with different helix angles. Besides, the cutting force amplitudes strongly depend upon the workpiece material. The helix angle has a significant influence on the transverse force amplitude at conventional speed. The forces obtained mechanistically are also substantiated by comparison with measurements.

High-speed milling (HSM) has advantages in high productivity high precision and low production cost. Thus it can be widely used in the manufacture industry. However, when the speed of spindle-tool reaches a higher speed range, the gyroscopic effect will become an important part of its stable milling. In this paper, a dynamics model of HSM system was proposed considering the influence of gyroscopic moment due to high rotating speed of end milling. Finite element model (FEM) is used to model the dynamics of a spindle-milling system. It obtains the trajectory of central point in face milling with considering gyroscopic effects through the dynamics model at high speeds. Then the cutting force model will be corrected by the trajectory of face milling. Then the stability lobes diagrams (SLD) was elaborated. Cutting thickness effects have non-negligible impact on stability limitation.

This paper presents a model to predict the cutting forces for flat end milling as machining gear indexing cam. Rotation feeding makes axial depth of cut and uncut chip thickness change during cutting process. The development of the model is based on the analysis of cutting edge expression. According to the existing the relationship of the local cutting force and chip load and assuming the cutter to be divided into a number of differential elements in the axial direction of the cutter, the model is derived by summarising the cutting forces produced by each differential cutter disc engaged in the cut. The equation for calculating uncut chip thickness of differential disc is educed. In order to avoid the complex computing for axial depth of cut of the entire edge, a unit square window function and its criterion are introduced to estimate whether a segment of edge is in engaging range.

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%.

Abstract This paper presents an analytical convolution model of dynamic cutting forces in ball end milling of 3-D plane surfaces. The model takes into account the instantaneous slope on a sculptured surface to establish the chip geometry in cutting force calculation algorithm. A three-dimensional model of cutting forces in ball end milling is presented in terms of material properties, cutting parameters, machining configuration, and tool/work geometry. Based on the relationship of the local cutting force, chip load and engaged boundary, the total cutting force model is established via the angle domain convolution integration of the local forces in the feed, cross feed, axial direction, and inclination angle. The convolution integral leads to a periodic function of cutting forces in the angle domain and an explicit expression of the dynamic cutting force components in the frequency domain. Following the theoretical analysis, experimental study is discussed to illustrate the implementation procedure for force identification, and frequency domain data are presented to verify the analytical results.

The Stability

Elastomer end-milling is attracting attention for its role in the small-lot production of elastomeric parts. In order to apply end-milling to the production of elastomeric parts, it is important that the workpiece be held stably to avoid deformation. To evaluate the stability of workholding, it is necessary to predict cutting forces in elastomer end-milling. Cutting force prediction for metal workpiece end-milling has been investigated for many years, and many process models for end-milling have been proposed. However, the applicability of these models to elastomer end-milling has not been discussed. In this paper, the characteristics of the cutting force in elastomer end-milling are evaluated experimentally. A standard cutting force model and its parameter identification method are introduced. By using this cutting force model, measured cutting forces are compared against the calculated results. The comparison makes it clear that the standard cutting force model for metal end-milling can be applied to down milling for a rough evaluation.

Cutting Mechanisms

Complex three-dimensional miniature components are needed in a wide range of industrial applications from aerospace to biomedicine. Such products can be effectively produced by micro-end-milling processes that are capable of accurately producing high aspect ratio features and parts. This paper presents a mechanistic cutting force model for the precise prediction of the cutting forces in micro-end-milling under various cutting conditions. In order to account for the actual physical phenomena at the edge of the tool, the components of the cutting force vector are determined based on the newly introduced concept of the partial effective rake angle. The proposed model also uses instantaneous cutting force coefficients that are independent of the end-milling cutting conditions. These cutting force coefficients, determined from measured cutting forces, reflect the influence of the majority of cutting mechanisms involved in micro-end-milling including the minimum chip-thickness effect. The comparison of the predicted and measured cutting forces has shown that the proposed method provides very accurate results.

End Milling Process

An accurate prediction of cutting forces in the micro end milling, which is affected by many factors, is the basis for increasing the machining productivity and selecting optimal cutting parameters. This paper develops a dynamic cutting force model in the micro end milling taking into account tool vibrations and run-out. The influence of tool run-out is integrated with the trochoidal trajectory of tooth and the size effect of cutting edge radius into the static undeformed chip thickness. Meanwhile, the real-time tool vibrations are obtained from differential motion equations with the measured modal parameters, in which the process damping effect is superposed as feedback on the undeformed chip thickness. The proposed dynamic cutting force model has been experimentally validated in the micro end milling process of the Al6061 workpiece. The tool run-out parameters and cutting forces coefficients can be identified on the basis of the measured cutting forces. Compared with the traditional model without tool vibrations and run-out, the predicted and measured cutting forces in the micro end milling process show closer agreement when considering tool vibrations and run-out.

Milling Forces

Cutting forces is one of the important physical phenomena in metal cutting process. It directly affects the surface quality of machining, tool life and cutting stability. The orthogonal experiments of cutting forces and influence factors with indexable and solid end mill were accomplished and the predictive model of milling force was established during high speed end milling 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy. The paper makes research mainly on the influence which the cutting speed, cutting depth and feed have on the cutting force. The experimental results of single factor showed that the cutting forces increase earlier and drop later with the increase of cutting speed, and the cutting speed of inflexion for 7050-T7451 is 1100m/min. As axial cutting depth, radial cutting depth and feed rate increase, the cutting force grows in different degree. The cutting force is particularly sensitive to axial cutting depth and slightly to the radial cutting depth.
