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.

Ball-end milling tools have been widely used in machining of complex freeform surfaces. The precision and efficiency of ball-end milling process can be improved by an accurate modeling of the tools, the tools' paths and the machining conditions. However, only rough geometric models have been applied so far, which do not consider the machining conditions and the physical changes. To achieve the best results, an accurate modeling of the cutting edge and the physical behavior of the entire cutter is needed. This paper proposes an articulated model that enumerates both the geometric characteristics and the physical effects acting on the cutting edge-segment of a ball-end milling cutter. The model considers the deformations caused by the milling forces, vibration, spindle eccentricity, together with thermal deformation and wear of the cutter. The mathematical description of the behavior has been transferred into a computational model. The pilot implementation has been tested in a practical application. The first findings show that the proposed theoretical model and implementation provide sufficiently precise information about the behavior of the cutter in virtual simulations; hence it can be the basis of a fully fledged and more efficient planning of milling processes.

The ball end milling process, commonly used for generating complex shapes, involves continuous variation in the uncut chip dimensions, which depends on the cutter geometry and the machining parameters. The proposed analytical model evaluates the undeformed and the deformed chip dimensions including chip length, width and thickness. The undeformed and deformed chip dimensions, is a function of cutter rotation angle, instantaneous cutter radius, helix angle, and other processing parameters. The surface quality, in the form of surface roughness, during high-speed ball end milling of Inconel 718 is also analysed in this paper.

Cutting Model

When milling the complex surface with the ball-end milling cutter, the cutting thickness always changes in ball-end milling process. At present, many milling models are actually simplified with unchanged cutting thickness, which ignores the ball-end milling cutting with complex tool-work piece relationship. According to the characteristics of the ball-end milling, orthogonal variable thickness cutting model is established based on the study of three-dimensional contact relationship of tool-work piece. The simulation of the stress field and the temperature field in hardened steel Cr12MoV orthogonal variable thickness cutting process is conducted, and comparative analysis of stress and temperature field distribution of high-speed milling and conventional milling is made. The cutting model of orthogonal variable thickness cutting can reflect the characteristics of surface milling accurately, which can be further used in the study of changing characteristics of physical fields and the optimization of cutting and tool parameters to improve the machining efficiency and quality.

Based on the experiment of high speed milling ball-end milling forces, the model of ball-end milling force is established for high speed machining complex surface by differential method, and research on the principle of high speed ball-end milling force. Results show that the parameters of cutting layer are subjected to varying curvature of complex surface, and place in the unstable state, cutting force decreases as the curvature and the inclination angle increase. By means of lessening cutting speed’s grads and adjusting the inclination angle and the path interval of cutter to the variety of curvature, cutting force and its fluctuation can be depressed availably; the process of high speed ball-end milling can be obviously improved.

Five Axis

Being one of the most important problems in machining, chatter vibrations must be avoided as they result in high cutting forces, poor surface finish, and unacceptable part quality. Using stability diagrams is an effective method to predict chatter free cutting conditions. Although there have been numerous works in milling dynamics, the stability of five-axis ball-end milling has not been studied in detail. In this paper, the stability of the five-axis ball-end milling is analyzed using analytical (frequency domain), numerical (time-domain), and experimental methods. The models presented consider 3D dynamics of the five-axis ball-end milling process including the effects of all important process parameters such as the lead and tilt angles. Both single- and multi-frequency solutions are presented. Unlike other standard milling cases, it is observed that adding multi-frequency effects in the solution has marginal influence on the stability diagrams for five-axis ball-end milling operations due to effects of the ball-end milling geometry on the engagement region, thus, on the directional coefficients. The stability limits predicted by single- and multi-frequency methods are compared with time-domain simulations and experiments. Using the models and experimental results, the effects of the lead and tilt angles on the stability diagrams are also shown. The presented models can be used in analysis of five-axis ball-end milling dynamics as well as in the selection of the milling conditions for increased stability.

In a systematic manner, this paper investigates the effects of harmonic force components on the regenerative stability of an end milling process. By representing the milling force pulsation in a Fourier series expansion form, the dynamic force components and the average forces due to bi-directional dynamic feed rates are both included in the generalized system dynamics formulation. In the resulting expression for the stability criterion, the spectral features of the milling forces are integrated with the dynamics of the structure, showing the significance or insignificance of the dynamic components of the milling forces in affecting the stability of the milling process. Key system parameters discussed include the magnitude of the average and harmonic forces, the cutter helix angle and the spindle speed. It is shown that a low helix angle and a smaller number of cutting flutes increase the effect of dynamic forces on the system stability. The significance of the harmonic forces is exemplified by the special cutting conditions where the average force becomes zero and the stability limits would be infinite as predicted by models using the average force alone. Improvements in the accuracy of stability lobes resulting from the inclusion of the dynamic forces and the validity of the presented model in general will be illustrated by numerical simulation and verified by experiments as well as by comparison with published results.

Improving the cutting efficiency is the major factor for improving the processing of nickel-based alloys. The novelty of this research is the calibrated SiAlON ceramic tool dry milling nickel-based alloy process. Firstly, the nickel-based alloy dry milling process was analyzed through the finite element method, and the required milling force and temperature were deduced. Then, several dry milling experiments were conducted with the milling temperature, and the milling force was monitored. The change in cutting speeds was from 400 m/min to 700 m/min. Experimental results verified the reduction of the dry milling force hypothesized by the simulation. The experiment also indicated that with a cut depth of 0.3 mm, cut width of 6 mm, and feed per tooth of 0.03 mm/z, when milling speed exceeded 527.52 m/min, the milling force began to decrease, and the milling temperature exceeded the nickel-based alloy softening temperature. This indicated that easy cutting could be realized under high-speed dry milling conditions. The interpolation curve about average temperature and average milling forces showed similarity to the tensile strength reduction with the rise of temperature.
