Order Of Magnitude

The cutting edge radius and cutting thickness as well as feed rate are in the same order of magnitude in micro-cutting. So it will appear a situation that the chip cannot be formed when the cutting thickness is less than a certain value which is the minimum cutting thickness. It is possible to find a method that can determine the minimum cutting thickness in the finite element simulation of micro-cutting according. In this paper, a series of finite element simulations of different workpiece materials in micro-cutting are carried out and several different minimum cutting thicknesses are obtained. It is shown that the minimum cutting thickness is related to the workpiece material in micro-cutting. When the workpiece materials are different, the minimum cutting thicknesses obtained are also different in micro-cutting.

Elgiloy is a cobalt-based alloy with excellent physical and chemical performance, which is used widely in medical and industrial applications. In this paper, the professional finite element analysis software for metal cutting is used to establish the finite element simulation model of micro cutting this kind of cobalt-based alloy, and the effect of feed rate, which is considered as the most important processing parameter, on the cutting force of micro cutting Elgiloy is analyzed. The cutting force measurement system based on ultra-precision micro milling machine tool is established for experimental study on the cutting force of micro milling Elgiloy by using ultra-fine gain tungsten carbide micro milling tool. The cutting force is measured with different feed rate parameters and the influence of the parameters on the cutting force is analyzed. The simulation and experimental results show that the trends observed at the micro scale are the same as the trends for machining at the macro scale, which implies that the Elgiloy material behaves in a similar manner at both length scales.

Inconel 718 alloy is a typical difficult-to-cut material and widely used in the aerospace industry. Finite element simulation is an efficient method to investigate the cutting process, whereby a work material constitutive model plays an important role. In this paper, finite element simulation of the cutting process for Inconel 718 alloy using a new material constitutive model for high strain rates is presented. The effect of tool cutting edge radius on the cutting forces and temperature is then investigated with a view to facilitate cutting tool design. It is found that as the cutting edge radius increases, the characteristics of tool-work friction and the material removal mechanisms change, resulting in variation in cutting forces and temperature. It is shown that a smaller cutting edge radius is preferred to reduce the cutting forces and cutting temperature.

In order to determine the minimum thickness of cutting under different cutting condition of aluminum alloy materials 2A12 of micro-milling, research the size effect caused by the cutting edge radius and few microns per tooth in micro-milling process. Using thermal coupling model of Johnson-Cook as a material model of the workpiece, using Johnson-Cook shear failure of the law as part of the failure criteria, using coupled plane strain thermal units and hybrid adaptive grid technology to mesh, the friction between the tool and workpiece take the amendment Coulomb's law that combine with the sliding friction areas and areas of the adhesive friction, to the micro-milling by nonlinear and elastic-plastic finite element simulation. Through finite element analysis, the ratio of minimum radius of thickness to the cutting edge tool radius under different conditions of cutting speed and cutter blade was got, the size effect, stress field and cutting force under different cutting depth was got, and comparing and analysis the results, getting the various factors impact on the size effect of micro-milling, it provide a basis for the actual processing.

Surface Work

As the service life of components is significantly influenced by the surface layer properties, namely surface roughness, surface work hardening and residual stresses, these are the focus of many investigations. As these properties can be measured experimentally in many cases only after finish of the process, simulation models can be used to explain the final process results by the interpretation of the development of the result quantities during the loading and unloading state. The developed and validated simulation model and the extended process knowledge can be used afterwards to predict process parameter combinations with optimal process results for other cutting tool-workpiece combinations without performing large and costly experimental investigations. In the present study, the dependences of surface work hardening and residual stresses on process parameters of micro-cutting, namely cutting depth, cutting velocity and cutting edge radius are investigated by 2D finite element simulations using ABAQUS/Standard. The material behaviour of normalized AISI 1045 is described in dependence of strain, strain rate, and temperature. Chip formation is modelled by continued remeshing of the work piece. The simulation results are validated by the comparison with experimentally determined integral width and residual stress depth profiles, using x-ray diffraction method. The influence of the ploughing process, characterized by the ratio of cutting edge radius to cutting depth, on surface characteristics is well described by the simulation model.

Micro End Milling

Previous studies found that the peripheral cutting edge and end cutting edge in micro end milling had different cutting phenomena considering the size effect in micro cutting processes. This paper is a further study on this point considering different workpiece materials and cutting edge radii. Finite element simulations have been conducted to determine the minimum undeformed chip thickness (MUCT) by the chip morphology and the results are verified by micromilling experiments. Both the simulations and experiments show that the MUCT of the peripheral cutting edge and the end cutting edge are different even if the cutting edge radii remain unchanged. The MUCT is directly proportional to the cutting edge radius. Material properties also have some effects on the MUCT of the peripheral cutting edge. But it has limited effects on that of the end cutting edge. The results indicate that the feed engagement other than the axial depth of cut should be carefully selected in micro end milling when considering different workpiece materials.
