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%.

Taguchi design methodology is applied to experiments of flank mill machining parameters of titanium alloy TC11 (Ti6.5A13.5Mo2Zr0.35Si) in conventional and high speed regimes. This study includes three factors, cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut, about two types of tools. Experimental runs are conducted using an orthogonal array of L9(33), with measurement of cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness. The analysis of result shows that the factors combination for good surface roughness, low cutting temperature and low resultant cutting force are high cutting speed, low feed rate and low depth of cut.

High-speed milling tests were performed on SiCp/2009Al composites in the speed range of 600-1200m/min using PCD tools to investigate the cutting temperatures and the influence factors. The results showed that the cutting temperature could reach 580°C under the given cutting conditions. Graphitization took place on the PCD tools under the high cutting temperature coupled with the effects of abrasive wear of SiC particles and catalysis of copper in the 2009 aluminum matrix. Cutting parameters, tool materials, workpiece materials and tool wear condition had significant effect on the high speed milling temperature while tool geometries had the minor effect. Among these influence factors, cutting speed was the most significant factor. Reinforcement volume fraction was the less significant factor and followed by radial depth of cut, feed rate and tool materials.

High speed milling hardened mould steel (above HRC50) at pocket corner generates the cutting forces increase and vibration gets fiercely because of the sudden change of cutting direction. It will cause serious wear and possible breakage of cutting tool, and poor quality of parts. Hence, the need to select reasonable cutting parameters and adopt appropriate cutting strategies will help them to achieve their goal. In this paper, the effects cutting parameters including cutting speed, pocket corner angle, feed rate per tooth and radial depth of cut on cutting force and vibration are studied. The results show that sharper pocket corner results in the increase of cutting force and makes vibration strong. Cutting force increase with the increase of cutting speeding, feed per tooth and radial depth of cut. The optimum of cutting speed leads to the decrease of vibration. It is proposed that cutting parameters should be optimized to improve tool life and processing efficiency.

The method to measure the cutting speed when high speed milling nickel alloy Inconel 718 based on semi-artificial thermocouple. The cutting parameters, tool wear and so on the cutting temperature were analyzed. The tests showed that the temperature was gradually increased with the increase of cutting speed. The cutting speed must be more than 600m/min, when the ceramic tools would perform better cutting performance in the high-speed milling nickel-based superalloy. In order to achieve more efficient machining, milling speed can be increased to more than 1000m/min. The impact amount of Radial depth of cut and feed per tooth were relatively small.

Pocket corner in the high-speed milling (HSM) often occur under-cut, over-cut, vibration and other phenomena. This not only reduces tool life, seriously affected the work-piece machining accuracy and processing efficiency. In the paper, the impact of cutting speed on cutting forces is studied in the pocket corner based on the high-speed milling experiments. The results show that cutting force increased slightly with the increase in cutting speed, and that cutting force no significant change with the increase in radial depth of cut.

High speed milling tests were performed on the SiCp/2009Al composites to investigate the cutting forces by using PCD tools in the speed range of 600-1200m/min. The results showed that the peak value of the cutting force Fy (in the tool radial direction) was in the range of 700-1450N under the present cutting condition. The maximum amplitude of cutting force vibration in the tool radial direction can reach 700N. Cutting forces increased with increasing feed rate or radial depth of cut and decreased with increasing cutting speed. Negative rake angle and relatively large tool nose radius were recommended as far as cutting forces was concerned. Materials with higher volume fraction or smaller reinforcement particle size had the bigger cutting forces. T6 heat treatment can increase the cutting forces significantly but the using of coolant can decrease the cutting forces evidently.

High speed milling experiments using nitrogen-oil-mist as cutting medium were undertaken to investigate the characteristics of tool wear for Ti-6Al-4V Alloy, a kind of important and commonly used titanium alloy in the aerospace and automobile industries. Uncoated carbide tools have been applied in the experiments. The cutting speed was 300 m/min. The axial depth of cut and the radial depth of cut were kept constant at 5.0 mm and 1.0 mm, respectively. The feed per tooth was 0.1 mm/z. Optical and scanning electron microscopes have been utilized to determine the wear mechanisms of the cutting tools, and energy spectrum analysis has been carried out to measure the elements distribution at the worn areas. Meanwhile, comparisons were made to discuss the influence of different cutting media such as nitrogen-oil-mist and air-oil–mist upon the tool wear. The results of this investigation indicate that the tool life in nitrogen-oil-mist is significantly longer than that in air-oil-mist, and nitrogen-oil-mist is more suitable for high speed milling of Ti-6Al-4V alloy than air-oil-mist.

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.
