Study on Mathematical Model of High Speed Milling Force for Plastic Mold Steel 3Cr2Mo
Mold steel 3Cr2Mo has been used widely in manufacturing of plastic mold formed parts, owing to fine mechanical properties. However, it is also very difficult to cut mold formed parts of steel 3Cr2Mo due to high hardness. Ordinary NC cutting method of steel 3Cr2Mo is unable to relate to modern mold manufacturing due to bad cutting property, so it is extremely significant for improving cutting property of steel 3Cr2Mo to study the high speed milling technology. On the basis of improving the traditional cutting force formula, the mathematical model of high speed milling force for steel 3Cr2Mo was derived and solved by using the experimental data and constructing matrix equation based on MATLAB software. Comparing with experimental data, the error of mathematical model of high speed milling force could be controlled within 6 percent. Due to high precision the model of high speed milling force can meet practical engineering requirement and has great value in the fields of CAD/CAM/CAE.
