In the paper, a static milling force model for variable pitch mills was built, and the milling forces were simulated. The resultant force and its frequency spectra of variable pitch mills were analyzed compared with that of uniform pitch mills. It is shown that the standard deviation (SD) of frequency spectra amplitudes for variable pitch mills is extremely lower than that of uniform pitch mills. Through simulation for SD of frequency spectra amplitudes affected by the different cutting parameters, a pitch angles distribution of variable pitch helix end mills with lower SD of frequency spectra amplitudes was selected.

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.

SiCp/Al composites with high volume fraction and large particles are very difficult to machine. In this present study, high-speed milling experiments were carried out on the SiCp/Al composites by the three factors-levels orthogonal experiment method, and multiple linear regression analysis was employed to establish milling force model. The results show that the milling forces decrease with the increasing of the milling speed or increase with the increasing of the feed rate and depth of milling. The influence of milling depth on the milling forces in directions of x, y is the most significant, while the influence of the feed rate on the z-milling forces are the most significant. The calculation values from the milling force model are consistent with the experimental values. The results will provide a reliable theoretical guidance for milling of SiCp/Al composites, and it is feasible to predict the milling force during the milling of SiCp/Al by using this model.

Micro-milling forces, cutting temperature, and thermal–mechanical coupling are the key research topics about the mechanism of micro-milling nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718. Most current analyses of thermal–mechanical coupling in micro-milling are based on finite element or experimental methods. The simulation is not conducive to revealing the micro-milling mechanism, while the results of experiments are only valid for certain machine tool and workpiece material. Few analytical coupling models of cutting force and cutting temperature during micro-milling process have been proposed. Therefore, the authors studied coupled thermal–mechanical analyses of micro-milling Inconel 718 and presented a revised three-dimensional analytical model of micro-milling forces, which considers the effects of the cutting temperature and the ploughing force caused by the arc of cutting edge during shear-dominant cutting process. Then, an analytical cutting temperature model based on Fourier’s law is presented by regarding the contact area as a moving finite-length heat source. Coupling calculation between micro-milling force model and temperature model through an iterative process is conducted. The novelty is including cutting temperature into micro-milling force model, which simulates the interaction between cutting force and cutting temperature during micro-milling process. The established model predicts both micro-milling force and temperature. Finally, experiments are conducted to verify the accuracy of the proposed analytical method. Based on the coupled thermal–mechanical analyses and experimental results, the authors reveal the effects of cutting parameters on micro-milling forces and temperature.

The milling process is always required to achieve dimensional tolerance for the near-net-shape carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) parts. However, delamination and cracking are inevitably induced in milling CFRP due to the excessive milling forces. The milling forces should be thereby well controlled to reduce damages of CFRP parts. Developing a theoretical milling force model is an effective approach to understand the mechanism of milling force generation. Recent studies have established the predictive models; however, the interlaminar effect impacting the material removal process is not considered during milling multidirectional CFRP laminate, limiting the predictive model accuracy. In this work, a model of dynamic milling force for multidirectional CFRP laminate was developed by considering the interlaminar effect for the first time. The specific cutting energy predicted by the artificial neural network methodology was employed to calculate the milling forces during milling a single CFRP layer. Meantime, the support of the layer was enhanced due to the interlaminar effect, and the correction coefficients for each type of support were proposed to reflect the role of this effect. Then, the overall milling forces for multidirectional CFRP laminate can be obtained via the superposition principle, which agreed well with the experimentally measured results.

Abstract In this paper, surface accuracy of the work-piece was improved by mining large amounts of machining data and obtaining potentially valuable information. By using data mining technology, a dynamic milling force prediction model has been established to keep with its working. The model was developed by a combination of Regression Analysis and RBF Neural Network. The internal relation of the data were analyzed in this study, such as milling force, cutting parameters, temperature, vibration and surface quality et.al, and the methods of Cluster Analysis and Correlation Analysis was used to extract and induct dynamic milling force variations on the effects with different situations. The results suggest that the proposed dynamic milling force model had a better prediction effect, which ensure production quality, reduce the occurrence of chatter and provide a more accurate basis for selecting process parameters.

A novel milling force model for cutting aviation aluminum alloy 7075 using carbide end mill is established in this article. A two-dimensional end-milling model is set up to investigate the influence of tool geometric parameters on milling force with the single-factor analysis. The relationship between milling forces and tool geometric parameters is obtained by nonlinear regression fitting method. Based on the existing empirical model of milling force, quadratic polynomial factor is taken into consideration to explore the influence of tool geometric parameters on milling force. Thus, a novel milling force model is built up which includes tool geometric parameters and milling parameters. The coefficients of the novel model are identified by the direct method and the loop method. The precisions of the coefficients obtained by the two methods are compared between prediction values and experiment values. After comparison, the model whose coefficients are obtained by loop method has higher prediction ability. End-milling experiments were carried out to verify the prediction accuracy of the novel milling force model. The result shows that the novel model of milling force has high accuracy in prediction. The method of building the milling force model proposed in this article can be applied to other types of milling cutter.

For a generalized helical end mill, this paper presents a frequency domain force model considering the ploughing as well as the shearing mechanisms. The differential chip load and the corresponding cutting forces are first formulated through differential geometry for a general helical cutting edge. The differential cutting force is assumed to be a linear function of the chip load with a proportional shearing force and a constant ploughing force. The total milling force in the angle domain is subsequently composed through convolution integration and analyzed by Fourier analysis. The frequency domain model has the parameters of a general milling process all integrated in a single framework with their roles clearly defined so that Fourier coefficients of the milling force can be obtained for any analytically definable helical cutter. Applications are illustrated for three common helical cutters: the cylindrical, taper, and ball end mills. Furthermore, as an inverse application, a linear algebraic equation is formulated for the identification of six cutting constants from the average forces of two slot milling tests. Demonstration and verification of the milling force model as well as the identification of cutting constants are carried out through experiments with three types of milling cutters.
