This paper describes machining trajectory generation and simulation of miniature integral impeller. Taking into account the closed and miniature of integral impeller, and low stiffness of the micro-milling tool, in order to avoid interference in the processing, through reasonably division of the impeller blade surface, generate the miniature integral impeller machining trajectory. Then impeller machining NC code is generated, and is simulated in Vericut software. Simulation result shows that the machining programs generated in this paper are effective, and the simulation machined workpiece surface is relatively smooth.

Micro-milling tool breakage has become a bottleneck for the development of micro-milling technology. A new method to predict micro-milling tool breakage based on theoretical model is presented in this paper. Based on the previously built micro-milling force model, the bending stress of the micro-milling cutter caused by the distributed load along the spiral cutting edge is calculated; Then, the ultimate stress of carbide micro-milling tool is obtained by experiments; Finally, the bending stress at the dangerous part of the micro-milling tool is compared with the ultimate stress. Tool breakage curves are drawn with feed per tooth and axial cutting depth as horizontal and vertical axes respectively. The area above the curve is the tool breakage zone, and the area below the curve is the safety zone. The research provides a new method for the prediction of micro-milling tool breakage, and therefore guides the cutting parameters selection in micro-milling.

Tool wear is a significant issue for the application of micro end mills. This can be significantly improved by coating materials on tool surfaces. This paper investigates the effects of different coating materials on tool wear in the micro milling of Ti-6Al-4V. A series of cutting experiments were conducted. The tool wear and workpiece surface morphology were investigated by analyzing the wear of the end flank surface and the total cutting edge. It was found that, without coating, serious tool wear and breakage occurred easily during milling. However, AlTiN-based and AlCrN-based coatings could highly reduce cutting edge chipping and flank wear. Specifically, The AlCrN-based coated mill presented less fracture resistance. For TiN coated micro end mill, only slight cutting edge chipping occurred. Compared with other types of tools, the AlTiN-based coated micro end mill could maximize tool life, bringing about an integrated cutting edges with the smallest surface roughness. In short, the AlTiN-based coating material is recommended for the micro end mill in the machining of Ti-6Al-4V.

The 21st century manufacturing technology is unimagined without the various CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) toolpath generation programs. The aims of developing the toolpath strategies which are offered by the cutting control software is to ensure the longest possible tool lifetime and high efficiency of the cutting method. In this paper, the goal is to compare the efficiency of the 3 types of tool path strategies in the very special field of micro-milling of ceramic materials. The dimensional distortion of the manufactured geometries served to draw the Taylor curve for describing the wearing progress of the cutting tool helping to determine the worn-in, normal and wear out stages. These isolations allow to separate the connected high-frequency vibration measurements as well. Applying the novel feature selection technique of the authors, the basis for the vibration based micro-milling tool condition monitoring for ceramics cutting is presented for different toolpath strategies. It resulted in the identification of the most relevant vibration signal features and the presentation of the identified and automatically separated tool wearing stages as well.

Micro milling is most flexible to create 3D features for application. However, how to design and fabrication of high precision micro milling tools are one of big challenges for mechanical micro milling. Commercially available micro milling tools are usually simply made from downsizing of macro milling tools, which have negative impact on milling performance. Therefore, in this paper, firstly, various structural of micro milling tools were optimized with abaqus that investigated stress and strain under certain static load on the cutting edges. Then, results showed the minimum stress and strain was a micro hexagonal end mill. Finally, a Ti (C7N3) cermet micro hexagonal end mill with a radius of 0.5mm was fabricated by wire electrical discharge machining, and the evaluation experiments for the hexagonal mill have been processed on a micro milling centre.

Abstract In the micro-milling process, the minimization of tool chatter is critical for good surface finish quality. The analysis of chatter requires an understanding of the milling tool as well as the dynamics of milling system structure. Frequency response function (FRF) at the micro-milling tool point reflects dynamic behavior of the whole micro-milling machine–spindle–tool system. However, the tool point FRF of micro-milling cannot be obtained directly through the hammering test. To solve the problem, the authors get the FRF of the spindle system based on the rotating Timoshenko beam theory and the receptance coupling substructure analysis (RCSA), and the bearing characteristics are added into the spindle model through structural modification. Then, the centrifugal force and gyroscopic effect caused by the high-speed rotation of the micro-milling spindle are considered to better simulate the real scenario and increase the accuracy of modal parameters. The method has general usage and can be applied to all the micro-milling tools under which only the spindle dimension, bearing characteristics, and contact parameters need to be changed.

The Moment

A computational evaluation of impeller blade moment during the impeller-diffuser interaction is performed. The moment calculated is based on the axial moment generated by fluid forces acting on a control volume surrounding an impeller blade passage. Included in the computations are unsteady flow field contributions to the unsteady impeller moment. Results are compared to numerical predictions of the impeller blade moment based on pressure and shear stress terms integrated over the blade surface. A comparison is also made to the Euler turbomachinery equation often used for calculating blade moment and energy transfer in simplified design procedures.

Micro milling tools made of Single Crystalline Diamond (SCD) have been developed to machine micro dies and molds made of ceramics. The milling tools of a cylindrical SCD having many sharp cutting edges are fabricated 3-dimensionally by scanning a laser beam. Flat shape of binder-less tungsten carbide mold was cut with the developed milling tool to evaluate the tool wears and its life. Some micro aspheric molds of tungsten carbide were cut with the milling tool at a rotational speed of 50,000 min-1. The ceramic molds were cut in the ductile mode. By cutting with the milling tool, the form accuracy obtained was about 100 nm P–V and the surface roughness 8 nm Rz.
