Based on milling experiment to explore the transformation and stress condition in the process of cutting of the thin-wall part made by aviation aluminum alloy, and then get data from the milling experiment through altering the axial cutting depth Ap=1 mm (a=1 mm), cutting radius Ae, spindle speed n and feed per tooth for milling force fz. Considering the milling force coefficient affected by each milling parameters, the orthogonal experiment of four factors and four levels are designed, and the milling coefficient is solved by MATLAB. The results indicates that the axial cutting depth Ap=1 mm (a=1 mm), the cutting force Fx increases with increasing in feedrate per tooth fz (c). the feedrate per tooth fz=0.03 mm (c=0.03 mm), the cutting force Fx increases with increasing in the axial cutting depth Ap. The discipline that the milling coefficient has an influence on milling force is obtained from the research which can provide the reference on the purpose of optimizing milling coefficient.

Iron-based alloy GH2132 is a kind of difficult-to-machine material. In this study, the experiments were processed to research the effect of feed per tooth, axial cutting depth and radial cutting depth on milling force. Variance analysis was made on the three factors. The results reveal that axial cutting depth affects milling force significantly, followed by feed per tooth and radial cutting depth has little influence on it. Two types of empirical model of milling force were established by the result of orthogonal experiment and multiple linear regression analysis. It was verified that both (hm, ap) model and (hm, ap, ae) model had good prediction accuracy compared with the experimental data. By calculating specific cutting force using the (hm, ap) model, a modified coefficient of the specific cutting force for 1mm2 chip cross section was proposed. The study would provide guidance to improve the machining precision and machining efficiency of high temperature alloy materials.

Abstract In aviation and navigation, complicated parts are milled with high-speed low-feed-per-tooth milling to decrease tool vibration for high quality. Because the nonlinearity of the cutting force coefficient (CFC) is more evident with the relatively smaller instantaneous uncut chip thickness, the stable critical cutting depth and its distribution against different tool postures are affected. Considering the nonlinearity, a nonlinear dynamic CFC model that reveals the effect of the dynamic instantaneous uncut chip thickness on the dynamic cutting force is derived based on the Taylor expansion. A five-axis bull-nose end milling dynamics model is established with the nonlinear dynamic CFC model. The stable critical cutting depth distribution with respect to tool posture is analyzed. The stability results predicted with the dynamic CFC model are compared with those from the static CFC model and the constant CFC model. The effects of tool posture and feed per tooth on stable critical cutting depth were also analyzed, and the proposed model was validated by cutting experiments. The maximal stable critical cutting depths that can be achieved under different tool postures by feed per tooth adjustment were calculated, and corresponding distribution diagrams are proposed for milling parameter optimization.

The minimum uncut chip thickness (MUCT), dividing the cutting zone into the shear region and the ploughing region, has a strong nonlinear effect on the cutting force of micro-milling. Determining the MUCT value is fundamental in order to predict the micro-milling force. In this study, based on the assumption that the normal shear force and the normal ploughing force are equivalent at the MUCT point, a novel analytical MUCT model considering the comprehensive effect of shear stress, friction angle, ploughing coefficient and cutting-edge radius is constructed to determine the MUCT. Nonlinear piecewise cutting force coefficient functions with the novel MUCT as the break point are constructed to represent the distribution of the shear/ploughing force under the effect of the minimum uncut chip thickness. By integrating the cutting force coefficient function, the nonlinear micro-milling force is predicted. Theoretical analysis shows that the nonlinear cutting force coefficient function embedded with the novel MUCT is absolutely integrable, making the micro-milling force model more stable and accurate than the conventional models. Moreover, by considering different factors in the MUCT model, the proposed micro-milling force model is more flexible than the traditional models. Micro-milling experiments under different cutting conditions have verified the efficiency and improvement of the proposed micro-milling force model.

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.

High-speed cutting technology is widely used in aviation, mold, automotive industries and other fields for its high machining efficiency, smaller cutting force, less cutting heat and high machining precision. However, the production site in China, high-speed machine tools do not really play its role in some enterprises, without real sense of the high-speed machining. Aluminum alloy 2A70 as the research object, using single-factor test, study the effect law of high-speed milling parameters on milling force here. The results show that: the cutting force is varying for high-speed milling, showing a periodic variation, with the transient characteristic, the milling force is large amplitude fluctuations in X and Y direction, the amount of change is respectively 55.544N and 56.306N. Milling force influenced by the spindle speed, with the increase of spindle speed, X contribute to the greatest change in the direction of milling, Y direction second, Z direction is almost unchanged. Under the experimental conditions, the stability high-speed cutting area of 2A70 is the spindle speed in the area of 21000rpm~27000rpm. The results of high-speed milling of aluminum alloy have certain significance.

Along with the development of high speed machining technology, the ball end milling cutter’s application is more and more widely. An influence of four control parameters, namely feed, cutting depth, spindle speed and cutting width, on cutting forces is investigated. This paper focuses on experimental research of milling process of carbon fiber reinforced carbon matrix composite (C/C composite). The milling force prediction model for milling of composite using the carbide ball-end tools is built by orthogonal experiment. The experiment results show that : the reliability of the this prediction model is quite high, and the effect of milling speed on milling force is not very obvious, but the milling force increases with the increment of feed per tooth, milling depth and milling width. Using this information, a new prediction model for the milling forces is proposed that can be used for C/C composite milling.

According to the weak rigidity characteristics of thin-walled parts, the material parameters and deformation tools are taken into account. In this paper, the finite element model of high-speed milling process is systematically studied by a large-scale finite element analysis (FEA) software DEFORM-3D with the modified Johnson-Cook model. The simulated results of cutting force, chip morphology, effective stress, effective strain and cutting temperature in deformation zones of thin-wall part are analyzed. On the basis of simulation results, cutting force of high speed milling on thin-wall part is verified. Comparing to the experimental results, the simulated results of cutting force, chip morphology, effective stress and cutting temperature in deformation zones of high speed peripheral milling indicate good consistence and the models established can be used to accurately predict the thin wall deformation. Therefore, numerical simulation method for the thin wall milling deformation control and provide a new way of compensation.

AbstractAluminum alloy is the main structural material of aircraft, launch vehicle, spaceship, and space station and is processed by milling. However, tool wear and vibration are the bottlenecks in the milling process of aviation aluminum alloy. The machining accuracy and surface quality of aluminum alloy milling depend on the cutting parameters, material mechanical properties, machine tools, and other parameters. In particular, milling force is the crucial factor to determine material removal and workpiece surface integrity. However, establishing the prediction model of milling force is important and difficult because milling force is the result of multiparameter coupling of process system. The research progress of cutting force model is reviewed from three modeling methods: empirical model, finite element simulation, and instantaneous milling force model. The problems of cutting force modeling are also determined. In view of these problems, the future work direction is proposed in the following four aspects: (1) high-speed milling is adopted for the thin-walled structure of large aviation with large cutting depth, which easily produces high residual stress. The residual stress should be analyzed under this particular condition. (2) Multiple factors (e.g., eccentric swing milling parameters, lubrication conditions, tools, tool and workpiece deformation, and size effect) should be considered comprehensively when modeling instantaneous milling forces, especially for micro milling and complex surface machining. (3) The database of milling force model, including the corresponding workpiece materials, working condition, cutting tools (geometric figures and coatings), and other parameters, should be established. (4) The effect of chatter on the prediction accuracy of milling force cannot be ignored in thin-walled workpiece milling. (5) The cutting force of aviation aluminum alloy milling under the condition of minimum quantity lubrication (mql) and nanofluid mql should be predicted.

Most aerospace parts are thin walled and made of aluminum or titanium alloy that is machined to the required shape and dimensions. Deformation is a common issue. Although the reduced cutting forces used in high-speed milling generate low residual stress, the problem of deformation cannot be completely resolved. In this work, we emphasized that choosing the correct cutting parameters and machining techniques could increase the cutting performance and surface quality and reduce the deformation of thin plates. In this study, a part made of a thin 6061 aluminum alloy plate was machined by high-speed milling (HSM), and a Taguchi L16 orthogonal array was used to optimize the following parameters: linear velocity, feed per tooth, cutting depth, cutting width, and toolpath. The impact of cutting parameters on the degree of deformation, surface roughness, as well as the cutting force on the thin plate were all investigated. The results showed that the experimental parameters for the optimal degree of deformation were A1 (linear velocity 450 mm/min), B1 (feed per tooth 0.06 mm/tooth), C1 (cutting depth 0.3 mm), D4 (cutting width 70%), and E4 (rough zigzag). Feed per tooth was the most significant control factor, with a contribution as high as 63.5%. It should also be mentioned that, according to the factor response of deformation, there was a lower value of feed per tooth and less deformation. Furthermore, the feed per tooth and the cutting depth decreased and the surface roughness increased. The cutting force rose or fell with an increase or decrease of cutting depth.
