Cutting Vibration

A series of research on the interactions among tool wear, cutting force and cutting vibration were conducted through high speed milling experiment in this paper, which objected the titanium alloy as difficult-to-cut materials. The results showed that the increasing of tool wear led to enlarging the cutting force and cutting vibration; and vice versa, the increasing of cutting force and cutting vibration aggravated the tool wear in the process of machining. Besides, the variation trend of tool wear with cutting was similar to the trend of cutting force, while the variation trend between cutting vibration and tool wear was different. Especially in the sharply cutting tool wear stage, the influence of tool wear on cutting vibration became more complicated.

Coated Carbide

Tool coatings can improve the machinability performance of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys. Therefore, in the current work, high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy was carried out to determine the performance of various coated cutting tools. Five types of coated carbide inserts – monolayer TiCN, AlTiN, TiAlN and two layers TiCN + TiN and AlTiN + TiN, which were deposited by physical vapour deposition – were employed in the experiments. Tool wear, cutting force, surface roughness and chip morphology were evaluated and compared for different coated tools. To understand the tool wear modes and mechanisms, detailed scanning electron microscope analysis combined with energy dispersive X-ray of the worn inserts were conducted. Abrasion, adhesion, chipping and mechanical crack on flank face and coating delamination, adhesion and crater wear on rake face were observed during high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. In terms of tool wear, the lowest value was obtained with TiCN-coated insert. It was also found that at the beginning of the machining pass TiAlN-coated insert and at the end of machining TiCN-coated insert gave the lowest cutting force and surface roughness values. No change in chip morphology was observed with different coated inserts.

High Speed Milling

High-speed machining provides an efficient approach for machining Inconel 718 with high quality and high efficiency. For high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface, the geometrical characteristics are changing continuously leading to a sharp fluctuation of cutting force, which will aggravate the tool wear. As the wear mechanism of coated cutting tool is seriously affected by the cutting tool geometrical parameters, suitable geometrical parameters of cutting tool should be selected to avoid the cutting tool from being worn out very quickly. In this study, the influence of cutting tool geometrical parameters on tool wear in high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface is investigated with coated cutting tool, and the cutting force in milling process is also analyzed. The results show that the cutting force variation can manifest the tool wear degree, and the failure type of coated cutting tool in plane milling and curved surface milling after the same cutting length is different. Furthermore, the cutting tool geometrical parameters seriously affect the tool wear and the tool life in high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface. Concretely, the small rake angle has greater strength and has superiority, the relief angle increasing can enhance the tool life, and the tool life is decreased with the increasing of helix angle for the cutting tool, whose helix angle is larger than 30°. This study provides a theoretical basis for cutting tool wear mechanism and cutting tool geometrical parameter selection in high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface, so as to guarantee the machining efficiency in high-speed milling of Inconel 718 curved surface.

The wear of cutting tool degrades the quality of the product in the manufacturing processes. The on line monitoring of the cutting tool wear level is very necessary to prevent the deterioration of the quality of machining. Unfortunately there is not a direct manner to measure the cutting tool wear on line. Consequently we must adopt an indirect method where wear will be estimated from the measurement of one or more physical parameters appearing during the machining process such as the cutting force, the vibrations, or the acoustic emission etc.... In this work, a neural network system is elaborated in order to estimate the flank wear from the cutting force measurement and the cutting conditions

Abstract Large-scale slender beam structures with weak stiffness are widely used in the aviation field. There will be a great deformation problem in machining because the overall stiffness of slender beam parts is lower. Firstly, the cutting mechanism and stability theory of the Ti6Al4V material are analyzed, and then the auxiliary support is carried out according to the machining characteristics of the slender beam structure. The feasibility of the deformation suppression measures for the slender beam is verified by experiments. The experimental analysis shows that on the basis of fulcrum auxiliary support, the filling of paraffin melt material is capable of increasing the damping of the whole system, improving the overall stiffness of the machining system, and inhibiting the chatter effect of machining. This method is effective to greatly improve the accuracy and efficiency during machining of slender beam parts. On the premise of the method of processing support with the combination of fulcrum and paraffin, if the tool wear is effectively controlled, the high precision machining of large-scale slender beams can be realized effectively, and the machining deformation of slender beams can be reduced. Although high speed milling has excellent machining effect on the machining accuracy of titanium alloy materials, severe tool wear is observed during high-speed milling of titanium alloy materials. Therefore, high-speed milling of titanium alloy slender beam is suitable to be carried out in the finishing process, which can effectively control tool wear and improve the machining accuracy of parts. Finally, the process verification of typical weak stiffness slender beam skeleton parts is carried out. Through the theoretical and technical support of the experimental scheme, the machining of large-scale slender beam structure parts with weak stiffness is realized.

Aisi 4340

The cutting performance of cutting tools in high-speed machining (HSM) is an important factor restricting the machined surface integrity of the workpiece. The HSM of AISI 4340 is carried out by using coated tools with TiN/TiCN/TiAlN multi-coating, TiAlN + TiN coating, TiCN + NbC coating, and AlTiN coating, respectively. The cutting performance evaluation of the coated tools is revealed by the chip morphology, cutting force, cutting temperature, and tool wear. The results show that the serration and shear slip of the chips become more clear with the cutting speed. The lower cutting force and cutting temperature are achieved by the TiN/TiCN/TiAlN multi-coated tool. The flank wear was the dominant wear form in the milling process of AISI 4340. The dominant wear mechanisms of the coated tools include the crater wear, coating chipping, adhesion, abrasion, and diffusion. In general, a TiN/TiCN/TiAlN multi-coated tool is the most suitable tool for high-speed milling of AISI 4340, due to the lower cutting force, the lower cutting temperature, and the high resistance of the element diffusion.

Toolpath Generation

A strategy of toolpath generation based on Tool-Zmap geometric model has been proposed to achieve efficient finish machining of mold cavity. Considering cutting tool wear, the finish machining of mold cavity was performed using variable cutting tools of different diameter. Each cutting tool only cuts the corresponding area to avoid identifying machining characteristic and poor rigidity of cutting tool during high speed machining. Finally, the validity of presented strategy was experimentally affirmed by a machining example.
