Edge Trimming

Edge trimming process is needed for finishing CFRP components to the required accuracy and surface quality. The bouncing–back effect of CFRP components is very challenging owing to spring back of trimmed edge after cutting tool pass. Ultrasonic assisted machining (UAM) is an efficient method used to enhance the quality of CFRP parts due to the reduced contact time between the tool and workpiece. This paper experimentally investigates the effect of edge trimming variables on the cutting forces and the magnitude of the bouncing back. Diamond abrasive end mills were utilized during ultrasonic assisted edge trimming of CFRP. The processes variables include spindle speed, feed rate, radial depth of cut, fiber orientations, and up/down strategy. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the most significant factor on performance characteristics. Regression equation was also developed to predict the value of bouncing back. The results showed that depth of cut and feed rate have a significant effect on bouncing back among the process variables.

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%.

There is an increasing demand for product miniaturization and parts with features as low as few microns. Micromilling is one of the promising methods to fabricate miniature parts in a wide range of sectors including biomedical, electronic, and aerospace. Due to the large edge radius relative to uncut chip thickness, plowing is a dominant cutting mechanism in micromilling for low feed rates and has adverse effects on the surface quality, and thus, for a given tool path, it is important to be able to predict the amount of plowing. This paper presents a new method to calculate plowing volume for a given tool path in micromilling. For an incremental feed rate movement of a micro end mill along a given tool path, the uncut chip thickness at a given feed rate is determined, and based on the minimum chip thickness value compared to the uncut chip thickness, the areas of plowing and shearing are calculated. The workpiece is represented by a dual-Dexel model, and the simulation properties are initialized with real cutting parameters. During real-time simulation, the plowed volume is calculated using the algorithm developed. The simulated chip area results are qualitatively compared with measured resultant forces for verification of the model and using the model, effects of cutting conditions such as feed rate, edge radius, and radial depth of cut on the amount of shearing and plowing are investigated.

Magnesium alloy is a material with a high strength to weight ratio and is suitable for various applications such as in automotive, aerospace, electronics, industrial, biomedical and sports. Most end products require a mirror-like finish, therefore, this paper will present how a mirror-like finishing can be achieved using a high speed face milling that is equivalent to the manual polishing process. The high speed cutting regime for magnesium alloy was studied at the range of 900-1400 m/min, and the feed rate for finishing at 0.03-0.09 mm/tooth. The surface roughness found for this range of cutting parameters were between 0.061-0.133 µm, which is less than the 0.5µm that can be obtained by manual polishing. Furthermore, from the S/N ratio plots, the optimum cutting condition for the surface roughness can be achieved at a cutting speed of 1100 m/min, feed rate 0.03 mm/tooth, axial depth of cut of 0.20 mm and radial depth of cut of 10 mm. From the experimental result the lowest surface roughness of 0.061µm was obtained at 900 m/min with the same conditions for other cutting parameters. This study revealed that by milling AZ91D at a high speed cutting, it is possible to eliminate the polishing process to achieve a mirror-like finishing.

Cutting force is a key factor influencing the machining deformation of weak rigidity work pieces. In order to reduce the machining deformation and improve the process precision and the surface quality, it is necessary to study the factors influencing the cutting force and build the regression model of cutting forces. This paper discusses the development of the first and second order models for predicting the cutting force produced in end-milling operation of modified manganese steel. The first and second order cutting force equations are developed using the response surface methodology (RSM) to study the effect of four input cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate, radial depth and axial depth of cut) on cutting force. The separate effect of individual input factors and the interaction between these factors are also investigated in this study. The received second order equation shows, based on the variance analysis, that the most influential input parameter was the feed rate followed by axial depth, and radial depth of cut. It was found that the interaction of feed with axial depth was extremely strong. In addition, the interactions of feed with radial depth; and feed rate with radial depth of cut were observed to be quite significant. The predictive models in this study are believed to produce values of the longitudinal component of the cutting force close to those readings recorded experimentally with a 95% confident interval.

When the pocket in die and mould is machined by high speed milling (HSM), the cutting forces increase and vibration fluctuates at the pocket corner because of the sudden change of cutting direction in general. It will cause serious wear and possible breakage of cutting tool, and poor quality of parts. By means of experiments, the cutting forces and vibration at the pocket corner with different HSM conditions are measured. The results show that the sharper pocket corner, higher cutting speeds, larger feed rate per tooth and radial depth of cut, will result in increasing of cutting forces and vibration amplitude. Thus, it will lead to be unstable during the process of high speed milling pocket corner.

Hardened steel P20 at 50 HRC is milled at high speed by TiN coated and TiAlN coated solid carbide straight end mills, and the cutting forces and tool wear are measured. The result shows that TiAlN coated tool is more suitable for cutting hardened steel at high speed. Then the hardened steel is milled under different cutting parameters. It is indicated that the effect of cutting speed on cutting forces is small, but the effect of cutting speed on machine vibration should be considered. Increase feed per tooth or radial depth of cut will increase the cutting forces.

In this study, surface roughness generated by face milling of 38CrSi high-strength steel is discussed. Experiments based on 24 factorial design and Box-Behnken design method are conducted to investigate the effects of milling parameters (cutting speed, axial depth of cut and radial depth of cut and feed rate) on surface roughness, and a second-order model of surface roughness is established by using surface response methodology (RSM); Significance tests of the model are carried out by the analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results show that the most important cutting parameter is feed rate, followed by radial depth of cut, cutting speed and axial depth of cut. Moreover, it is verified that the predictive model possesses highly significance by the variance examination at a level of confidence of 99%. And the relationship between surface roughness and the important interaction terms is nonlinear.

This paper aims to study the tool life of coated and uncoated high speed steel (HSS) when machining LM6 aluminium. The experiment was carried out in dry condition with spindle speed of 5000 rpm and 6000 rpm, and feed rate of 90 mm/min and 120 mm/min. Axial and radial depth of cut remain constant at 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively during the experiment. Throughout the experiments, coated HSS showed higher tool life as compared to uncoated HSS due to the coating layer of titanium aluminium nitride (TiAlN) provides protection from rapid wear during machining. For both cutting tools, the optimum cutting parameter was recorded at 5000 rpm spindle speed, 90 mm/min feed rate, 0.5 mm axial depth of cut and 1.0 mm radial depth of cut. Some evidence of built up edge (BUE) formation were observed at most of cutting tools, showing the dominant wear mechanisms appear to be adhesive wear.

The use of hybrid composite materials has increased due to their special mechanical and physical properties. However, machining of these materials is extremely difficult due to non-homogeneous, anisotropic and highly abrasive characteristics. The performance of machined surface quality of CFRP/Al2024 was described using two level factorial methodology. This research aims to study the interaction effects and significant factors of cutting parameters on the surface quality and optimise the cutting parameter for the surface quality of CFRP/Al2024 1μm to 2μm. The trimming process test was performed under dry conditions using burr tools 6mm diameter of end mills. The factors investigated were spindle speed (N), feed rate (fr) and depth of cut (dc), meanwhile profile roughness parameters (Ra) of CFRP and Al2024 were the response variables. Results show that the best estimated value of fr should be 500 mm/min to 530 mm/min, N is between and 2313.870 rpm to 2336.042 rpm. For both responses, N is the most significant effect followed by fr and dc.
