In this paper Finite element methods (FEM) and cutting experiment were used to investigate the machinability of titanium alloy ZTC4 (cast Ti6Al4V). Machinability was evaluated as cutting force, temperature, and surface roughness. Two-dimension (2D) and three-dimension (3D) machining process FEM models were established. Material constitutive applied Johnson-Cook model synthesizing elastic and plastic deformation. Chip separated criteria adopted arbitrary Lagrangian Euler (ALE) algorithm. Heat generation source included the rake face chip flow under conditions of seizure and chip/tool friction, clearance face tool/workpiece friction. 3D discrete milling tool was modeled and the milling process was simulated. The ZTC4 milling experiments were designed and carried out with same cutting conditions of the 3D FEM simulation. The results of FEM simulation and the experiment were compared and analysed. The influences of the machining variables to the machinability of ZTC4 were discussed.

Cutting forces modeling is the basis to understand, simulate milling process and further to control milling process parameters for obtaining higher precision workpieces. With the development of engineering technology, FEM can be used to simulate metal machining process and gain better understanding of material flow within dies, so as to optimize tooling to eliminate tears, laps and other forging defects. In this paper, the calculated cutting force increases approximately logarithmically with the cutting speed, as should be expected from the logarithmic rate dependence.

Gyroscope is the core of an inertia system and made by machining process. Machining process imports large residual stress. The residual stress will be released and induces large deformation of gyroscope frame. In this paper, the effects of residual stress on deformation of gyroscope frame were simulated by finite element method. Different stress distribution leads different deformation. Compressive stress can make sample long and tensile stress make sample short. The stress released in deformation process which reduced about 90%.

This paper primarily deals with suppression of chatter in end-milling process. Improving the damping is one way to achieve higher stability for machining process. For this purpose a damper is proposed that is composed of a core and a multi fingered hollow cylinder which are shrink fitted in each other and their combination is shrink fitted inside an axial hole along the tool axis. This structure causes a resisting friction stress during bending vibration. Using FEA-ANSYS the structure is simulated. Then a parameter study is carried out where the frequency response and the depth of cut are calculated and tabulated to obtain the most effective configuration. The optimal configuration of tool is fabricated and finite element results are validated using modal test. The results show a high improvement in performance of the tool with proposed damper. Good agreement between experiments and modeling is obtained.

This paper identifies and investigates the influence of technological defects of manufacturing process on the dynamic behavior of thin chromium microbeam. The analytical models will be analyzed and corrected using finite element method (FEM) to determine their validity under influence of technological defects. A semi-analytical model will be proposed for the extraction of corrective factors from 3D FEM simulation of dynamic behavior of microbeam. Final results indicate that the correction of technological defects is very significant for Cr microbeam 80x2x0.95μm3. In other hand, the corrected value of Young’s modulus is very close to the experimental results and it is about 279.1GPa.

This paper presents a modeling and simulation of micro-milling process with finite element modeling (FEM) analysis to predict cutting forces. The micro-milling of Inconel 718 is conducted using high-speed steel (HSS) micro-end mill cutter of 1mm diameter. The machining parameters considered for simulation are feed rate, cutting speed and depth of cut which are varied at three levels. The FEM analysis of machining process is divided into three parts, i.e., pre-processer, simulation and post-processor. In pre-processor, the input data are provided for simulation. The machining process is further simulated with the pre-processor data. For data extraction and viewing the simulated results, post-processor is used. A set of experiments are conducted for validation of simulated process. The simulated and experimental results are compared and the results are found to be having a good agreement.
