In order to depress cutter vibration caused by high hardness and periodic change of cutting force in high speed milling complex surface, investigated the modal characteristics of ball-end milling cutter through the modal analysis and transient analysis. Using the models of dynamic cutting force and cutting vibration, acquired dynamics characteristics of high speed ball-end milling cutter by the spectrum analysis of dynamic cutting force, simulation analysis of cutting vibration and experiment of high speed milling hardened steel.

Ball End Milling

In this paper, a revolving cycloid milling cutter was designed with a larger effective cutting helix angle and rake angle than a ball end milling cutter of the same diameter. This new type of milling cutter can solve the problems of low machining efficiency, severe tool wear, and low surface quality in titanium alloy processing. A comparison of the cutting performance of titanium alloys processed by the revolving cycloid milling cutter and the ball end milling cutter was carried out to obtain the variation laws of the cutting force and the processing surface quality under different tool wear conditions. The result shows that the wear zone of the revolving cycloid milling cutter is shallow and wide compared to that of the ball end milling cutter. As the wear speeds up, the spoon-shaped wear gathering zone found in the ball end milling cutter does not happen with the revolving cycloid milling cutter. The revolving cycloid milling cutter can significantly lower the axial force, the tangential force, and the ratio of the axial force to the tangential force with a stable cutting process.

The Impact

For the instability of ball-end milling cutter in high speed milling, instantaneous cutting process of high speed milling hardened steel was studied. The model of instantaneous cutting layer parameters of high speed ball-end cutter was established, and the influence of cutting speed and inclination angles on instantaneous cutting layer parameters were obtained. Using the model, instantaneous cutting force was studied, and high speed milling experiment was processed. Results show that the increase of cutting speed makes the change rate of cutting layer parameters increasing, leads to the energy concentration in cutting process, and increases the impact on milling cutter. The increase of inclination angle makes the instantaneous cutting layer parameters show a trend of decrease and the decrease of cutting thickness more rapidly, which caused instantaneous unit cutting force to increase and the instantaneous main cutting force appears increasing trend, and the cutting process become unstable.

The ball end milling process, commonly used for generating complex shapes, involves continuous variation in the uncut chip dimensions, which depends on the cutter geometry and the machining parameters. The proposed analytical model evaluates the undeformed and the deformed chip dimensions including chip length, width and thickness. The undeformed and deformed chip dimensions, is a function of cutter rotation angle, instantaneous cutter radius, helix angle, and other processing parameters. The surface quality, in the form of surface roughness, during high-speed ball end milling of Inconel 718 is also analysed in this paper.

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.

Adopted the cutting-contact model of high speed ball-end milling hardened steel surfaces, researched distribution characteristics of cutting-contact stress; by researching the influence of the distribution of this stress on cutter wear, clarified the influence theory of milling pattern and cutting parameters on initial wear of milling cutter. By using the method of climbing, conventional milling alternating and changing cutting parameters, verified the influence of milling pattern and cutting parameters on initial wear pattern. The result showed that, initial wear mechanism of high speed milling hardened steel is an interaction of multiple wear mechanisms under the effect of friction and alternating pressure stress, by using conventional milling can significantly reduce concave curvature radius of hardened steel, the contact stress of blade area and front, rear flank, inhibit crushing and wear rate of the milling cutter surfaces. Under this condition, by increasing rotation speed and reducing the feed per blade, will further increase the strength of this effect, and achieve the purpose of reducing the initial wear, inhibiting the wear rate and extending the cutters life.
