Tool wear plays an important role in cutting process research. It affects the quality of machined surface and cutting parameter to a great extent, such as cutting force, cutting temperature and cutting quiver. In order to predict tool wear in hard cutting process by using FEM method, the character of tool wear during cutting process is presented firstly, and Usui’s tool wear rate model is introduced. Then the FEM model for steady state cutting process using Abaqus is established. FEM model describes the workpiece material characteristic accurately for the process of PCBN tool cutting GCr15 by adoptiving Johnson-Cook constitutive model. Simulation results of steady cutting process offer foundation to simulate tool wear.

Tool wear plays an important part during cutting process, and wear loss has a close relationship with cutting condition, which affects machined surface mostly. In order to accomplish tool wear prediction in way of FEM, based on founding of cutting model under steady state, interrelated parameters needed for tool wear prediction, such as cutting temperature, contact pressure and raletive sliding velocity are extracted. By compiling Python subprogram and using Abaqus tool in hard cutting process PCBN tool wear is predicted, which provide foundation for optimizing cutting condition.

Multi-axis controlled machining has been increasing with the demand for high quality in mold manufacturing. The cutter axis inclination should be properly determined in the milling operations. The paper discusses the cutting process of ball end mill with the cutter axis inclination. Two mechanistic models are presented to show the effect of the cutter axis inclination on the tool wear and the surface finish. The actual cutting time during a rotation of the cutter reduces with increasing the cutter axis inclination. Then, the tool is cooled in the non-cutting time. The tool wear is suppressed with reducing the cutting temperature. The surface finish is also improved by increasing cutting velocities with the cutter axis inclination. When the cutter is inclined in the feed direction, the effect of the edge roughness on the surface finish is eliminated. The discussion based on the simulation is verified in the cutting tests for brittle materials.

Abstract In this study, the effect of cutting temperature on phase transformation in cutting of room temperature austenitic NiTi alloy was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and temperature measurements. Results from XRD reveals that after cutting process, the phase state of work material near the machined surface transformed from austenite to martensite at relatively low cutting speed conditions while the phase state of work material did not undergo any form of transformation at the highest cutting speed condition. Temperature measurement results measured with temperature indicating paint showed that the maximum temperature of work material near the machined surface in cutting process exceeded the Md temperature at the highest cutting speed condition. However, there was no phase transformation observed in cutting chips after cutting at all cutting speed conditions as the temperature of cutting chips was much higher than the Md temperature under all cutting speed conditions.

Geometric features of the segmented chip have been investigated along with the volume of material removed at a cutting speed at which tool wear is characterized by the gradual development of flank wear when cutting Ti-6Al-4V alloy. The chip geometric variables varied with an increase in the volume of material removed as the combined effect of change in tool’s geometry and increase in cutting temperature. Plastic deformation dimples were observed as periodical regions on the machined surface, a row on each undeformed surface and region on the top of the slipping surface of the segmented chip when cutting with new tool; these dimples on the undeformed surface and machined surface are elongated in the direction of chip flow. All these dimples became less with an increase in the volume of material removed and almost disappeared when the chip was removed with the worn tool at the end of its life. A model of segmented chip formation process has been proposed to satisfactorily explain the formation of the plastic deformation dimples on the undeformed surface and machined surface of the segmented chip produced with a new cutting tool and the transition of chip geometry with the evolution of tool wear.

An experimental system used for temperature measurement is designed by the K-type thermocouple thermometry to achieve a direct measurement of cutting temperature in high speed orthogonal turning. The general regularity of temperature distribution is concluded, and the corresponding influences of cutting speed and cutting depth on the maximum temperature value are discussed in detail. Experimental data and simulating results are comparative analyzed to demonstrate the feasibility and correctness of Finite Element Method (FEM) model simulation and analytical solution. The verified model of temperature field can be applied to develop an effective non-contact soft-sensing method for high speed cutting temperature.

Nano-indentation of glass SF11 was performed for understanding the material deformation behavior in practical cutting process. Diamond cutting tests under different process conditions, i.e. conventional turning and ultrasonic vibration assisted cutting, were also carried out. Cleavage and microchipping appear to be the dominant tool wear mechanism based on the analytical results of wear zone microstructure and machined surface topography. The change in the tribology of the cutting process as well as the alteration of the deformation mechanism of the work material in the cutting zone might be responsible for the reduction in tool wear in vibration cutting.

In machining operations, the adoption of a cutting fluid is necessary to mitigate the effects of the high temperatures generated on the cutting zone, and, therefore, to avoid severe detrimental effects on the tool wear and surface integrity. In the biomedical field, the traditional processes to manufacture surgical implants made of Titanium and Cobalt Chromium Molybdenum alloys involve turning and milling operations. To cool the cutting tool with standard oil emulsions leaves contaminants on the machined surfaces, which require further cleaning steps that are expensive in terms of time and costs. Currently, this limitation is marginally overcome by machining without the coolant; however, as a consequence, severe tool wear and poor surface integrity take place. In the last years, many studies have been conducted on the application of Liquid Nitrogen as a coolant in machining difficult-to-cut materials such as Ti6Al4V. Thanks to its properties to evaporate immediately when getting in contact with the cutting zone, thus living the workpiece and chips dry and clean other than its ability to lower the cutting temperature. The adoption of Liquid Nitrogen as a cooling mean in machining surgical implants may represent an optimum solution enhancing the benefits of dry machining. This work is aimed at evaluating the performances of the Liquid Nitrogen as a coolant in semi-finishing turning of Ti6Al4V produced by Electron Beam Melting, a comparison with dry turning is presented. The alloy machinability in such conditions is evaluated in terms of tool wear, machined surface integrity and chip morphology.

A 3D model is established in this paper to simulate cutting process of PCBN tool cylindrical cutting hardened steel GCr15 using ABAQUS/Explicit. The model effectively overcomes serious element distortions and cell singularity in high strain domain caused by material large deformation by adopting shear failure criteria and element deletion criteria. In this study cutting force, cutting temperature, surface residual stress field as well as side flow are forecasted of hard cutting process with chamfering tool preparation. It shows that satisfactory results could be obtained by FEM. The simulation results provide theoretical basis for studying hard cutting mechanism and selecting the best cutting condition in practical.

Cutting temperature measurement and its variety tendency can reflect cutting tool performance and machined surface quality directly. By means of a mercury current collector or an electrical brush device the online measurement of thermoelectric potential of tool-workpiece natural thermocouple in milling is obtained, based on which a new cutting process real-time monitoring system is developed. The system takes the average cutting temperature in tool-workpiece interface as the monitoring target and the rotation rate of machine spindle as the adjustment object, which leaves out onerous and complex modeling and makes the monitoring and adjustment objective, direct and effective.
