In this paper, the specific shear energy in high-speed machining 7050-T7451 from 100m/min to 3000m/min is measured and compared with the theoretical value evaluated by the method proposed by Pawade et al. (2009). The influences of cutting speed, rake angle of cutting tool, and uncut chip thickness are also investigated and discussed. Results show that the specific shear energy decreases with the increase of cutting speed, rake angle, and uncut chip thickness. The higher thermal softening makes the specific shear energy lower.

In this study, the slip-line field model developed for orthogonal machining with a worn cutting tool was experimentally investigated. Minimum and maximum values of five slip-line angles ( θ1, θ2, δ2, η and ψ) were calculated. The friction forces that were caused by flank wear land, chip up-curl radii and chip thicknesses were calculated by solving the model. It was specified that the friction force increased with increase in flank wear rate and uncut chip thickness and it decreased a little with increase in cutting speed and rake angle. The chip up-curl radius increased with increase in flank wear rate and it decreased with increase in uncut chip thickness. The chip thickness increased with increase in flank wear rate and uncut chip thickness. Besides, the chip thickness increased with increase in rake angle and it decreased with increase in cutting speed.

The tool-chip contact length, as an important parameter controlling the geometry of tool crater wear and understanding chip formation mechanism, is widely investigated in machining. The aim of this paper is to study the influence of chip curl on tool-chip contact length by means of experimental observations with high cutting speed. The relationship between tool-chip contact length, chip radius of curvature and uncut chip thickness was investigated. Experimental results show the effect of increasing spiral chip radius on tool-chip contact length with low uncut chip thickness in high speed machining.

As cutting tool penetrates into workpiece, stress waves is induced and propagates in the workpiece. This paper aims to propose a two-dimensional discrete element method to analyze the stress waves effects during high speed milling. The dependence of the stress waves propagation characteristics on rake angle and cutting speed was studied. The simulation results show that the energy distribution of stress waves is more concentrated near the tool tip as the rake angle or the cutting speed increases. In addition, the density of initial cracks in the workpiece near the cutting tool increases when the cutting speed is higher. The high speed milling experiments indicate that the chip size decreases as the cutting speed increases, which is just qualitatively consistent with the simulation.

The dynamic response of the shear plane and the variations of the dynamic cutting coefficients are experimentally investigated at various values of feed, cutting speed, rake angle, clearance angle, frequency, and amplitude of chip thickness modulation. Wave generating and wave removing cutting tests, in which high-speed photography is used to investigate the geometry of chip formation, are carried out. The theoretical model of dynamic cutting developed in [1] is assessed with reference to these experimental results. A comparison between this model and previous models in relation to the experimental results is also presented.

Determination of the surface integrity is of particular importance because of its influence on workpiece service life. The microstructure of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy under the cutting speed of 3000~5000m/min was observed in this paper. With the increase of cutting speed, microhardness was analyzed to investigate the thermal softening phenomenon engendered, which would affect the surface performance in return. According to the results, influences of cutting speed on microstruceture and microhardness in high speed were explored and further research on temperature in high speed is suggested.

High-speed machining (HSM) has received great interest because it leads to an increase of productivity and a better workpiece surface quality. However, tool wear increases dramatically due to the high temperature at the tool/workpiece interface. Proper selection of cutting tool and cutting parameters is the key process in high-speed machining. In this paper, experiments have been conducted to high speed milling pearlitic cast iron with different tool materials, including polycrystalline cubic boron nitrogen, ceramics and coated cemented carbides. Wear curves and tool life curves have been achieved at various cutting speeds with different cutting tools. If efficiency is considered, Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitrogen cutting tool materials are preferred in finish and semi-finish machining. According to the different hardness of cast iron, the appropriate range of cutting speed is from 850 m/min to 1200m/min.

In this study, to simulate the grinding process for rolled homogeneous armor steel (RHA) 4043, a single-grain cutting process is modeled using a three-dimensional (3-D) numerical model, which is developed using a coupled finite element (FE) - smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach. The proposed numerical model is then employed to investigate the influences of grain negative rake angle (-22°, -31°, and-45°) as well as high and super-high cutting speed ranged from 100 m/s to 260 m/s in the cutting processes. The numerical results show the cutting forces are much lower and the maximum chip thickness is much larger when using a smaller grain negative rake angle.

Tool life and the rationality of cutting parameter setting are evaluated directly by cutting force. In order to predict cutting force, and then to optimize the tooth cutting condition for dry high-speed spiral bevel and hypoid gear cutting, this study has established a 2D cutting FEM simulation platform by using DEFORM-2D based on the 2D orthogonal slot milling experiment. Through the platform, using the method of combining single-factor experiment and multi-factor orthogonal experiment, this study has explored the influence of cutting/tool parameters on cutting force in the dry high-speed cutting process of 20CrMnTi spiral bevel and hypoid gear (face hobbing dry cutting process). The results show that from high degree to low degree, the influence of each parameter on cutting force is as follows: feed > cutting speed > relief angle(P.A.side) >blade rake angle, and the influence of the first three parameters is significant, the influence of blade rake angle is not significant; the optimized condition for dry high-speed spiral bevel and hypoid gear cutting is suggested to be: the cutting speed is 300 m/mim, the feed is 0.06 mm/r, the blade rake angle is 14° and the relief angle(P.A.side) is 10°; the cutting edge can be honed moderately, but the hone radius is not bigger than 0.1 mm.

A new high speed machining experiment is designed to obtain orthogonal cutting in a wide range of cutting speeds from 7 m/s to 100 m/s. Quasi-stationary cutting conditions are obtained. The measurement of the longitudinal cutting force reveals the existence of an optimal cutting speed for which the energy consumption is minimum. The genuine tool-workpiece material interaction can be analyzed with that experimental device.

The FEM simulation was developed to investigate the influences of cutting speed, uncut chip thickness and tool rake angle on the cutting performance of TiAl6V4. The FEM simulation was validated using experimental results and good agreement was obtained. The simulation results indicate that the transition from continuous to saw-tooth chip formation is favored by increases in cutting speed and uncut chip thickness and a decrease in tool rake angle. The existence of Salomon’s assumption was further discussed, which shows that the Salomon’s assumption is not valid for the tool-chip interface temperature, but could be true for the surface temperature of the workpiece. In addition, decreasing the uncut chip thickness leads to an increase of the specific cutting energy, which could be primarily caused by an increase in the shear strength of the workpiece material due to a decrease in the PSZ temperature.
