In this study, the effect of cutting parameters on the quality of an Al/CFRP sandwich structure (aluminium alloy–carbon fibre reinforced polymer) after milling with uncoated and TiAlN-coated tools was examined. The results of the cutting force were also investigated. The research was conducted in a VMC 800 HS vertical machining centre with a variable cutting speed and feed. The milling process was carried out using a non-coated, two-blade carbide milling cutter with a 35° helix angle and an analogous tool with a TiAlN coating. The surface quality was characterised in terms of the height deviation, which is one of the shape deviations after machining hybrid materials. The research showed that the maximum (77.60 µm) and minimum (1.78 µm) values of the height deviations were obtained using the tool with a TiAlN coating. It was found that the tested factors had significant effects on the height deviation, where the feed had the greatest influence and the cutting speed had the lowest influence on the surface quality. The tested factors were not statistically significant in terms of the cutting force.

This paper set out to investigate the effect of cutting speed vc and trochoidal step str modification on selected machinability parameters (the cutting force components and vibration). In addition, for a more detailed analysis, selected surface roughness parameters were investigated. The research was carried out for two grades of magnesium alloys—AZ91D and AZ31—and aimed to determine stable machining parameters and to investigate the dynamics of the milling process, i.e., the resulting change in the cutting force components and in vibration. The tests were performed for the specified range of cutting parameters: vc = 400–1200 m/min and str = 5–30%. The results demonstrate a significant effect of cutting data modification on the parameter under scrutiny—the increase in vc resulted in the reduction of the cutting force components and the displacement and level of vibration recorded in tests. Selected cutting parameters were modelled by means of Statistica Artificial Neural Networks (Radial Basis Function and Multilayered Perceptron), which, furthermore, confirmed the suitability of neural networks as a tool for prediction of the cutting force and vibration in milling of magnesium alloys.

In order to better provide a theoretical basis for the machining of luxury vinyl tiles, a helical milling experiment was conducted by using diamond cutting tools, and special attention was given to the trends of cutting force and surface roughness in respect to tool geometry and cutting parameters. The results showed that the resultant force was negatively correlated to the helix angle and cutting speed, but positively correlated with the cutting depth. Then, that the surface roughness increased with a decrease of the helix angle and an increase of cutting depth, while as cutting speed raised, the surface roughness first declined and then increased. Thirdly, the cutting depth was shown to have the greatest influence on both cutting force and surface roughness, followed by helix angle and cutting speed. Fourth, the contribution of cutting depth only was significant to cutting force, while both the helix angle and cutting speed had insignificant influence on the cutting force and surface roughness. Finally, the optimal cutting conditions were proposed for industrial production, in which the helix angle, cutting speed and cutting depth were 70°, 2200 m/min and 0.5 mm, respectively.

This paper presented the effect of run out on the experimental characteristic of micro-milling brass using carbide micro-end mills. A method of calculation and measurement for the run out of tool-holder-spindle assembly in micro-end mill was developed. A series of micro-milling process experiments were carried out under varying cutting parameters. The effect of run out on cutting forces, effect of cutting parameters on surface roughness, and size effect were analyzed. It was seen that the cutting force signature was seriously affected by run out in the micro-milling process. When the feed per tooth is less than the run out, the cutting force signals showed that only one cutter flute engaged in cutting process due to the effect of run out. It was also seen that the cutting force signature showed erratic variations due to the effect of tool–workpiece and the run out of tool tip at higher spindle speed. Surface roughness was affected by both cutting speed and feed per tooth. For lower cutting speed, there was increase in the surface roughness with the decrease in the cutting speed due to the effect of built-up edge. For higher cutting speed, there was increase in the surface roughness with the increase in the cutting speed due to dominance of the shearing effects. When the feed per tooth was less than the minimum chip thickness, due to the indentation and ploughing-dominated process, nonlinear increase of specific shear energy can be obtained. At lower feed per tooth, the specific energy increases with increased cutting speed. These results are used to provide strategies to optimize cutting parameters and achieve better surface quality in micro-milling brass process.

Abstract This paper deals with the influence of the end mill helix angle on the flatness and surface quality of aluminium (EN AW 6082) thin-walled parts. The three teeth solid end mills of 12 mm diameter with same and different helix angle of third tooth were designed. The tests were performed using the HSC 105 linear CNC machine and following cutting parameters: cutting speeds (800, 100 and 1200 m.min−1), feed per tooth (0.12 mm), cutting depth (for roughing 10 mm and for finishing 5 mm). Evaluation of surface quality of the processed thin-walled parts shows that the helix angle of the end mills has a significant influence on the surface quality of the thin-walled parts. The best results were obtained in the case of end mill with different 35° helix angle of third tooth and cutting speed 1000 m.min−1.

Machined Surface Quality

AFRP(Aramid Fiber Reinforced Plastics) is widely used in the aerospace and automotive while there are many problems in machining AFRP such as furry, delamination, burns and so on. Milling experiments of AFRP have been conducted to study the influence of different helix angle (0°, 30°, 60°) and cutting tools (traditional end mill, multiple flute end mill and compression end mill) on cutting force and machined surface quality. The results indicated that the cutting force has been reduced and the surface quality has been improved with the increase of helix angle. The cutting tool structure can make greater influence on machined surface quality than the cutting parameters. A cutting tool with the structure of multiple flute or herringbone cutting edge could reduce the axial cutting force. However the cutting force is too small to cut off fibers when using a multiple flute end mill. A good processing surface can be achieved while cutting with a compression end mill or a tool with big helix angle.

In micro milling, cutting parameters such as feed per tooth and cutting speed are found to have significant influence on cutting forces and surface quality. To address these issues, an experimental study of micro milling with three types of metal material (steel, brass and aluminium alloy) is conducted. The experiment setup and cutting conditions are described; the experiment results are presented with a discussion of the influence of various cutting parameters such as feed per tooth and tool diameter. These results are used to provide strategies to optimise cutting parameters and achieve better surface quality with the concern of tool diameter and material hardness when micro milling selected materials.

High Speed Milling (HSM) is well known as an innovative key technology for modern machining. HSM can obtain very high surface qualities, subsequent manually finishing operations can be eliminated in many cases totally or at least partially. Theoretical and experimental researches have proven that the cutting force in a high speed milling process has significant influences both on surface roughness and deflection of the cutting tool. In this paper, mould steel for high speed milling experiments by multi-factor test on the high speed milling machine tools. By studying the relation of overhang length, cutting speed and cutting force of cutting parameters, the cutting force tested is analyzed in high speed milling. When mold steel is cut at high speed, the influence of cutting speed on cutting force is studied, which has a guidance in the actual production.

Micro-milling is one of the most essential technologies to produce micro components, but due to the size effect, it has many special characteristics and challenges. The process can be characterised by strong vibrations, relatively large run-out and tool deformation, which directly affects the quality of the machined surface. This paper deals with a detailed investigation of the influence of cutting parameters on surface roughness and on the special characteristics of micro-milled surfaces. Several systematic series of experiments were carried out and analysed in detail. A five-axis micromachining centre and a two fluted, coated carbide micro-milling tool with a diameter of 500 µm were used for the tests. The experiments were conducted on AISI H13 hot-work tool steel and Böhler M303 martensitic corrosion resistance steel with a hardness of 50 HRC in order to gain relevant information of machining characteristics of potential materials of micro-injection moulding tools. The effect of the cutting parameters on the surface quality and on the ratio of Rz/ Ra was investigated in a comprehensive cutting parameter range. ANOVA was used for the statistical evaluation. A novel method is presented, which allows a detailed analysis of the surface profile and repetitions, and identify the frequencies that create the characteristic profile of the surface. The procedure establishes a connection between the frequencies obtained during the analysis of dynamics (forces, vibrations) of the micro-milling process and the characterising repetitions and frequencies of the surface.

Compressive Residual Stresses

Residual stresses generated in milling process affect the performance of machined components. Milling residual stresses correlate closely with the cutting parameters. In this paper, the generation and distribution of surface residual stresses in milling of aluminum alloy 7050-T7451 was investigated. The cutting speed changes from 300m/min to 3000m/min. In the experiments, the residual stresses on the surface of specimen are detected by X-ray diffraction technique. The result shows that compressive residual stresses are generated when cutting speed is under 500 m/min. In feed and its orthogonal direction, the effect of cutting speed and feed rate on residual stresses is similar. The formation of the residual stresses can be explained by thermo-mechanical coupling effects.
