Dynamic change in cutting force is one of the major causes of chatter formation in metal cutting which affect machining accuracy. Thus, accurate modeling of cutting force is necessary for the prediction of machining performance and determination of the mechanisms and machining parameters that affect the stability of machining operations. The present paper discusses the development of a mathematical model for predicting the tangential cutting force produced in endmilling operation of Ti6Al4V. The mathematical model for cutting force prediction has been developed in terms of the input cutting parameters cutting speed, feed rate, and axial depth of cut using response surface methodology (RSM). Effects of all the individual cutting parameters on cutting force as well as their interactions are investigated in this study. Central composite design was employed in developing the cutting force model in relation to the primary cutting parameters. The experimental results indicate that the proposed mathematical models suggested could adequately describe the performance indicators within the limits of the factors that are being investigated.

A new cutting force model of micro-milling was developed based on calculating the instantaneously projected area of cutting in this study. According to the rotation trajectory of cutting edge, the instantaneous cutting area projected to xy-plane was first divided into several portions and determined with rectangular integral. After the cutting coefficients were experimentally investigated, the cutting force of micro-milling with different cutting conditions can be determined. Because the developed cutting force was function of cutting parameters, such as spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, with taking the cutter deflection into account it was further used to the determine of optimal cutting parameters for obtaining better cutting efficiency and machining accuracy. To verify the proposed cutting force model and the way to determine the optimal cutting parameters, micro-milling experiments were conducted. The results have shown the feasibility of the proposed model and method.

In the present study, aluminum alloy 2014 was selected as workpiece material, cutting forces were measured under turning conditions. Cutting parameters, the depth of cut, feed rate, the cutting speed, were considered to arrange the test research. Mathematical model of turning force was solved through response surface methodology (RSM). The fitting of response surface model for the data was studied by analysis of variance (ANOVA). The quadratic model of RSM associated with response optimization technique and composite desirability was used to find optimum values of machining parameters with respect to cutting force values. The turning force coefficients in the model were calibrated with the test results, and the suggested models of cutting forces adequately map within the limits of the cutting parameters considered. Experimental results suggested that the most cutting force among three cutting forces was main cutting force. Main influencing factor on cutting forces was obtained through cutting force models and correlation analysis. Cutting force has a significant influence on the part quality. Based on the cutting force model, a few case studies could be presented to investigate the precision machining of aluminum alloy 2014 thin walled parts.

Abstract A comprehensive, 3D mathematical model of desired/optimal cutting force for end milling of free-form surfaces is proposed in this paper. The closed-form predictive model is developed based on a perceptive cutting approach resulting in a cutting force model having a comprehensive set of essential cutting parameters. In particular, the normal rake angle usually missing in most existing models of the same sort is included in the developed model. The model also enables quantitative analyses of the effect of any parameters on the cutting performance of the tool, providing a guideline to improving the tool performance. Since the axial depth of cut varies with time when milling sculptured surface parts, an innovative axial depth of cut estimation scheme is proposed for the generation of 3-D cutting forces. This estimation scheme improves the practicality of most existing predictive cutting force model for milling in which the major attention has been focused on planar milling surface generation. In addition, the proposed model takes the rake surface on the flute of mills as an osculating plane to yield 3-D cutting force expressions with only two steps. This approach greatly reduces the time-consuming mathematical work normally required for obtaining the cutting force expressions. A series of milling simulations for machining free-form parts under scenario cutting conditions have been performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed cutting force model. The simulation results demonstrate accurate estimating capability of the proposed method for the axial depth of cut estimation. The cutting force responses from the simulation exhibit the same trends as what can be obtained using the empirical mechanic’s model referenced in the literature. Finally, through the simulation results it is also learned that designing a tool with a combination of different helix angles having cutting force signatures similar to that of the single helix angle counterparts is particularly advantageous.

To enhance the implementation of micro milling, it is necessary to clearly understand the dynamic characteristics of micro milling so that proper machining parameters can be used to meet the requirements of application. By taking the effect of minimum chip thickness and rake angle into account, a new cutting force model of micro-milling which is function the instantaneous cutting area and machining coefficients was developed. According to the instantaneous rotation trajectory of cutting edge, the cutting area projected to xy-plane was determined by rectangular integral method, and used to solve the instantaneous cutting area. After the machining coefficients were solved, the cutting force of micro-milling for different radial depths of cut and different axial depths of cut can be predicted. The results of micro-milling experimental have shown that the force model can predict the cutting force accurately by which the optimal cutting parameters can be selected for micro-milling application.

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.
