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.

Speed Variation

Surface quality is affected by various processing parameters and inherent uncertainties of the metal cutting process. Therefore, the surface roughness anticipation becomes a real challenge for engineers and researchers. In previous researches [1] I have investigated the feed rate influence on surface roughness and manufacturing time reduction. The 7136 aluminum alloy was machined by end milling operation using standard tools for aluminum machining. The purpose of this paper is to identify by experiments the influence of cutting speed variation on surface roughness. The scientific contribution brought by this research is the improvement of the end milling process of 7136 aluminum alloy. This material is an aluminum alloy developed by Universal Alloy Corporation and is used in the aircraft industry to manufacture parts from extruded profiles. The research method used to solve the problem is experiment. A range of cutting speeds was used while the cutting depth and the feed per tooth were constrained per minimum and maximum requirements defined for the given cutting tool. The experiment was performed by using a 16 mm End milling cutter, holding two indexable cutting inserts. The machine used for the milling tests was a HAAS VF2 CNC. The surface roughness (response) was measured by using a portable surface roughness tester (TESA RUGOSURF 20 Portable Surface Finish Instrument). Following the experimental research, results were obtained which highlight the cutting speed influence on surface roughness. Based on these results we created roughness variation diagrams according to the cutting speed for each value of feed per tooth and cutting depth. The final results will be used as data for future research.

Optimization Of Cutting Parameters

The measurement method and apparatus of cutting force by high speed milling is introduced. The high speed milling force of wrought aluminum alloy is measured and analyzed through separately examining the influences of various factors, such as cutting speed, cutting depth, milling width, feed per cutting tooth, down or up milling, cooling and lubricating. The results match with outcomes from other’s tests and the theory of metal cutting, and are close to the calculated force values, so that the test can be regarded as positive. It is pointed out that high cutting speed, little cutting depth, properly great working engagement and feed per tooth, high feed rate, down milling and efficient cooling and lubricating should be used to reduce cutting force and deformation, to improve milling accuracy and efficiency, which can be helpful to the spread applications of High Speed Machining.

The analysis of cutting forces during in-cut and out-cut milling of EN AC-AlSi10Mg cast aluminum alloy was presented. The research included measurement of the components of the total cutting force: Ff, Fp and Fc (Fx, Fy, Fz respectively) and determination of their amplitudes at a constant feed per tooth value and the adopted variable technological parameters, i.e.: depth of cut ap, milling width ae and cutting speed vc. Based on the obtained results, it was found that along with the increase in the depth of cut and the milling width, the values of selected components and their amplitudes increase for both in-cut and out-cut milling. During rise of cutting speed, it was observed that the components of the total cutting force increase to the speed vc = 450 m/min, then their values begin to decrease. This is related to the transition from conventional machining to the range of High Speed Cutting. It is important that higher values of cutting forces were noted in the case of out-cut milling instead of in-cut milling.

Finite element method (FEM) is a powerful tool to predict cutting process variables such as temperature field which are difficult to be obtained from experimental methods. The turning process of Inconel 718 is simulated by AdvantEdge which is professional metal-cutting processing finite element software. The effects of cutting speed, feed and cutting depth on cutting force and temperature field are analyzed. The results show that cutting forces decrease with cutting speed increasing, and increase with feed and cutting depth, and the influence of cutting depth on cutting forces is significant. The maximum temperature in the cutting zone located on the rake face at a distance of about 0.01 mm from the tool tip. As cutting speed and feed increase, the maximum temperature in the cutting area increases. The influence of cutting speed on cutting temperature is significant, but the cutting depth has little impact on temperature.

This paper presents the experimental results of cutting force and surface roughness of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy under the cutting speed of 3000~5000m/min. The cutting forces and surface roughness with different cutting parameters were analyzed. Experimental results suggested that increasing cutting speed would engender thermal softening, which would in return affect the cutting force and surface roughness in high speed milling. The cutting force and surface roughness were affected by cutting depth and feed rate obviously. Surface roughness was also affected by cutting width which changed the cutting force slightly. According to the results, proper parameters could be selected and thermodynamic relationship needed to be discussed for further research.

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%.

In this paper, high speed milling experiments on Ti6Al4V were conducted with coated carbide inserts under a wide range of cutting conditions. The effects of cutting speed, feed rate and radial depth of cut on the cutting forces, chip morphologies as well as surface roughness were investigated. The results indicated that the cutting speed 200m/min could be considered as a critical value at which both relatively low cutting forces and good surface quality can be obtained at the same time. When the cutting speed exceeds 200m/min, the cutting forces increase rapidly and the surface quality degrades. There exist obvious correlations between cutting forces and surface roughness.

Selection Of

Advancement in machining technology of curved surfaces for various engineering applications is increasing. Various methodologies and computer tools have been developed by the manufacturers to improve efficiency of freeform surface machining. Selection of the right sets of cutter path strategies and appropriate cutting conditions is extremely important in ensuring high productivity rate, meeting the better quality level, and lower cutting forces. In this paper, cutting force as a new decision criterion for the best selection of tool paths on convex surfaces is presented. Therefore, this work aims at studying and analyzing different finishing strategies to assess their influence on surface texture, cutting forces, and machining time. Design and analysis of experiments are performed by means of Taguchi technique and analysis of variance. In addition, the significant parameters affecting the cutting force in each strategy are introduced. Machining strategies employed include raster, 3D-offset, radial, and spiral. The cutting parameters were feed rate, cutting speed, and step over. The experiments were carried out on low curvature convex surfaces of stainless steel 1.4903. The conclusion is that radial strategy provokes the best surface texture and the lowest cutting forces and spiral strategy signifies the worst surface texture and the highest cutting forces.

Main Effect

Based on the experiment of turning aluminium alloy (7075-T651), the relations between the fractal dimensions of cutting forces with machining parameters are studied. Cutting speed, feed speed and cutting depth are considered as the process parameters. The cutting force in turning aluminium alloy operation are measured and the fractal dimension are calculated using the algorithm of correlation dimension. From main effect plots the fractal dimensions of three directions of cutting forces are reduced with the increase of cutting speed, increased with the increase of cutting depth and insignificant with the increase of feed speed. The mathematic models of fractal dimension of cutting force are developed using response surface methodology (RSM). The results of the ANOVA show that cutting speed and cutting depth have remarkable influence to fractal dimension Dx, Dy and Dz.
