To optimize the parameters of high-speed milling of aluminum alloy 7055 and provide a theoretical basis for cutting temperature control, a finite element model of high-speed milling process of aluminum alloy 7055 was developed with AdvantEdge. Based on these models, the effect of milling parameters on cutting temperature is investigated by single factor experiments. And the temperature distribution of workpiece and cutting tool is predicted. The results show that the highest temperature occurs at close to the tool tip in the rack face, the temperature increases with an increase in cutting speed and feed per tooth, while other parameters have a less significant effect on cutting temperature.

In this study, the influence of cutting parameters and machining time on the tool wear and surface roughness was investigated in high-speed milling process of Al6061 using face carbide inserts. Taguchi experimental matrix (L9) was chosen to design and conduct the experimental research with three input parameters (feed rate, cutting speed, and axial depth of cut). Tool wear (VB) and surface roughness (Ra) after different machining strokes (after 10, 30, and 50 machining strokes) were selected as the output parameters. In almost cases of high-speed face milling process, the most significant factor that influenced on the tool wear was cutting speed (84.94 % after 10 machining strokes, 52.13 % after 30 machining strokes, and 68.58 % after 50 machining strokes), and the most significant factors that influenced on the surface roughness were depth of cut and feed rate (70.54 % after 10 machining strokes, 43.28 % after 30 machining strokes, and 30.97 % after 50 machining strokes for depth of cut. And 22.01 % after 10 machining strokes, 44.39 % after 30 machining strokes, and 66.58 % after 50 machining strokes for feed rate). Linear regression was the most suitable regression of VB and Ra with the determination coefficients (R2) from 88.00 % to 91.99 % for VB, and from 90.24 % to 96.84 % for Ra. These regression models were successfully verified by comparison between predicted and measured results of VB and Ra. Besides, the relationship of VB, Ra, and different machining strokes was also investigated and evaluated. Tool wear, surface roughness models, and their relationship that were found in this study can be used to improve the surface quality and reduce the tool wear in the high-speed face milling of aluminum alloy Al6061

Discrete element model of fully sintering dental zirconia was constructed and calibrated. Based on the model, the dynamic process of low-speed milling of zirconia was simulated, and the effects of different cutting speeds, cutting widths and federates on the formation of surface cracks were also analyzed. Results show that residue cracks number and maximum depth increases significantly with increase of the cutting width, while the influence of cutting speed and federates is not distinct. That shows the possibility of high-speed machining on fully sintering dental zirconia with development of coating technology of cutting tool.

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.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the time dependence distribution of workpiece cutting temperature in milling process. An experimental system used to achieve a measurement of cutting temperature in high speed milling is designed by use of the thermocouple and infrared thermal imager. The general regularity of temperature distribution is concluded, and the influence of the process variables such as cutting speed, cutting depth, etc. on the temperature distribution was investigated in detail. All the experiment results can be effective used to develop a new non-contact soft-sensing method for high speed cutting temperature prediction.

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%.

As cutting tool penetrates into workpiece, stress waves is induced and propagates in the workpiece. This paper aims to propose a two-dimensional discrete element method to analyze the stress waves effects during high speed milling. The dependence of the stress waves propagation characteristics on rake angle and cutting speed was studied. The simulation results show that the energy distribution of stress waves is more concentrated near the tool tip as the rake angle or the cutting speed increases. In addition, the density of initial cracks in the workpiece near the cutting tool increases when the cutting speed is higher. The high speed milling experiments indicate that the chip size decreases as the cutting speed increases, which is just qualitatively consistent with the simulation.

Within the scope of high speed milling process parameters, analyzed and discussed the effects of spindle speed, feed rate, milling depth and milling width on milling forces in the process of high speed milling of AM50A magnesium alloy. At the same time, the influence of milling parameters on the surface roughness of AM50A magnesium alloy has been revealed by means of the measurement of surface roughness and surface micro topography. High speed milling experiments of AM50A magnesium alloy were carried out by factorial design. Form the analysis of experimental results, The milling parameters, which have significant influence on milling force in high speed milling of AM50A magnesium alloy, are milling depth, milling width and feed speed, and the nonlinear characteristics of milling force and milling parameters. The milling force decreases with the increase of spindle in the given mill parameters. For the effects of milling parameters on surface quality of the performance, in the milling depth and feeding speed under certain conditions with the spindle speed increases the surface quality of AM50A magnesium alloy becomes better with the feed speed increases the surface quality becomes poor. When the spindle speed is greater than 12000r/min, the milling depth is less than 0.2mm, and the feed speed is less than 400mm/min, the milling surface quality can be obtained easily.

The cutting performance of cutting tools in high-speed machining (HSM) is an important factor restricting the machined surface integrity of the workpiece. The HSM of AISI 4340 is carried out by using coated tools with TiN/TiCN/TiAlN multi-coating, TiAlN + TiN coating, TiCN + NbC coating, and AlTiN coating, respectively. The cutting performance evaluation of the coated tools is revealed by the chip morphology, cutting force, cutting temperature, and tool wear. The results show that the serration and shear slip of the chips become more clear with the cutting speed. The lower cutting force and cutting temperature are achieved by the TiN/TiCN/TiAlN multi-coated tool. The flank wear was the dominant wear form in the milling process of AISI 4340. The dominant wear mechanisms of the coated tools include the crater wear, coating chipping, adhesion, abrasion, and diffusion. In general, a TiN/TiCN/TiAlN multi-coated tool is the most suitable tool for high-speed milling of AISI 4340, due to the lower cutting force, the lower cutting temperature, and the high resistance of the element diffusion.
