In milling process, cutting force is the main cause of machining deformation, and in machining of thin-walled parts, machining deformation is the major factor for machining error. In this paper, through finite element analysis software ABAQUS, three-dimensional simulation analysis on the machining of SiCp/Al composite thin-walled parts with a polycrystalline diamond tool have been carried out. It reveals the influence of radial depth of cut, cutting speed, and feed per tooth on cutting force. Analysis results show that: higher speed, small radial depth of cut and moderate feed per tooth can effectively reduce cutting force and inhibit deformation. In addition, a comparison is made between analysis results of milling force and high accuracy milling force prediction model, results from the two methods are similar.

Thin walled titanium alloys are mostly applied in the aerospace industry owing to their favorable characteristic such as high strength-to-weight ratio. Besides vibration, the friction at the cutting zone in milling of thin-walled Ti6Al4V will create inconsistencies in the cutting force and increase the surface roughness. Previous researchers reported the use of vegetable oils in machining metal as an effort towards green machining in reducing the undesirable cutting friction. Machining experiments were conducted under Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) using coconut oil as cutting fluid, which has better oxidative stability than other vegetable oil. Uncoated carbide tools were used in this milling experiment. The influence of cutting speed, feed and depth of cut on cutting force and surface roughness were modeled using response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN). Experimental machining results indicated that ANN model prediction was more accurate compared to the RSM model. The maximum cutting force and surface roughness values recorded are 14.89 N, and 0.161 µm under machining conditions of 125 m/min cutting speed, 0.04 mm/tooth feed, 0.25 mm radial depth of cut (DOC) and 5 mm axial DOC.

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.

The Cutting force and cutting temperature are the important factors which can affect the quality and accuracy of the aluminum alloy work-pieces. Based on the theoretical analysis of the cutting force and cutting temperature, the three-dimensional Finite Element Model (FEM) with the overall tool is established. The corresponding results of the digital simulation were researched, and the cutting force and cutting temperature were analyzed. The cutting temperature and cutting force changes were compared by altering the axial depth of cut and the feed rate.

A three dimensional fully thermal-mechanical coupled finite element model had been presented to simulate and analyze the cutting temperature for high speed milling of TiAl6V4 titanium alloy. The temperature distribution induced in the tool and the workpiece was predicted. The effects of the milling speed and radial depth of cut on the maximum cutting temperature in the tool was investigated. The results show that only a rising of temperature in the lamella of the machined surface is influenced by the milling heat. The maximum temperature in the tool increases with increasing radial depth of cut and milling speed which value is 310°C at a speed of 60 m/min and increases to 740°C at 400m/min. The maximum temperature is only effective on a concentrated area at the cutting edge and the location of the maximum temperature moves away from the tool tip for higher radial depths of milling. The predicted temperature distribution during the cutting process is consistent with the experimental results given in the literature. The results obtained from this study provide a fundamental understanding the process mechanics of HSM of titanium alloys.

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%.
