Chatter Marks

Chatter vibration in end milling remains a serious problem for manufacturing engineers. Chatter vibration often leaves a characteristic pattern or chatter mark on the machined surface. Chatter marks are generated by the relative displacement of the tool and the workpiece. Closer observation of chatter marks may prove useful in understanding chatter vibration. In this study, we investigated chatter mark patterns on end-milled surfaces. Based on these observations, we proposed and demonstrated the effectiveness of an iterative analysis method to identify stable machining conditions and minimize chatter vibration in various operations without use of sensors under specific conditions.

Abstract In this study, a new analysis method using a wavelet transform was considered to evaluate the chatter vibration generated during end milling. End milling often generates vibrations between the tool and work material, called chatter vibration, which causes deterioration of the finished surface and breakage of the tool. Therefore, countermeasures to detect chatter vibration at an early stage have been attempted in the past by using fast Fourier transform (FFT) and short-time Fourier transform (STFT) methods and monitoring the dynamic stability of the cutting process. However, the FFT analysis method assumes steady-state vibration, and the STFT method does not have sufficient frequency resolution. In contrast, the wavelet transform is excellent for analyzing non-stationary vibrations and has a high noise separation capability. To fully validate the analysis method, a groove was added to the machined surface, so that the cutting condition changed with time, and the cutting vibration under the condition where the disturbance was involuntary was analyzed. As a result, it was possible to identify minute fluctuations in chatter vibration, which could not be obtained using the STFT method.

Milling Chatter

Chatter vibration generated by coupling a work-piece, machine tools, and cutting tool is a serious problem for engineers. A regular pattern forms the machined surface when chatter vibration occurs. There must be a direct relationship between the relative displacement and machined surface. We propose a method for controlling chatter vibration of end-milling from a machined surface. Hammering tests were first carried out to determine the natural frequencies of machine tools and the tool system, which are likely to be the cause of vibration. We also propose a technique of applying reverse analysis to end-milling surfaces. The machined surface is assumed to include an essential index to easily control chatter vibration at the factory. We found that chatter vibration occurs near the frequency of the cutting tool, tool holder, and their coupling, not at the natural frequency, and the chatter vibration frequency can be calculated by analyzing the surface pattern and cutting conditions. Moreover, the proposed method was effective in analyzing chatter vibrations including more than two kinds of natural frequencies at the same time.

AbstractMicrowave absorbers using conductive ink are generally fabricated by printing an array pattern on a substrate to generate electromagnetic fields. However, screen printing processes are difficult to vary the sheet resistance values for different regions of the pattern on the same layer, because the printing process deposits materials at the same height over the entire surface of substrate. In this study, a promising manufacturing process was suggested for engraved resistive double square loop arrays with ultra-wide bandwidth microwave. The developed manufacturing process consists of a micro-end-milling, inking, and planing processes. A 144-number of double square loop array was precisely machined on a polymethyl methacrylate workpiece with the micro-end-milling process. After engraving array structures, the machined surface was completely covered with the developed conductive carbon ink with a sheet resistance of 15 Ω/sq. It was cured at room temperature. Excluding the ink that filled the machined double square loop array, overflowed ink was removed with the planing process to achieve full filled and isolated resistive array patterns. The fabricated microwave absorber showed a small radar cross-section with reflectance less than − 10 dB in the frequency band range of 8.0–14.6 GHz.

Vibration Signals

The study presented involves the identification of surface roughness in Aluminum work pieces in an end milling process using fuzzy clustering of vibration signals. Vibration signals are experimentally acquired using an accelerometer for varying cutting conditions such as spindle speed, feed rate and depth of cut. Features are then extracted by processing the acquired signals in both the time and frequency domain. Techniques based on statistical parameters, Fast Fourier Transforms (FFT) and the Continuous Wavelet Transforms (CWT) are utilized for feature extraction. The surface roughness of the machined surface is also measured. In this study, fuzzy clustering is used to partition the feature sets, followed by a correlation with the experimentally obtained surface roughness measurements. The fuzzifier and the number of clusters are varied and it is found that the partitions produced by fuzzy clustering in the vibration signal feature space are related to the partitions based on cutting conditions with surface roughness as the output parameter. The results based on limited simulations are encouraging and work is underway to develop a larger framework for online cutting condition monitoring system for end milling.

Abstract Recently, the demand of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) has been rapidly increased in various fields. In most cases, CFRP products requires a finish machining like cutting or grinding. In the case of an end-milling, burrs and uncut fibers are easy to occur. On the other hand, a precise machined surface and edge will be able to obtain by using the grinding tool. Therefore, this research has been developed a novel the cBN electroplated end-mill that combined end-mill and grinding tool. In this report, the effectiveness of developed tool was investigated. First, the developed tool cut the CFRP with side milling. As the result, the cBN abrasives that were fixed on the outer surface of developed tool did not drop out. Next, the end-milled surface of CFRP was ground with the developed tool under several grinding conditions based on the Design of Experiment. Consequently, the optimum grinding condition that can obtain the sharp edge which does not have burrs and uncut fibers was found. However, surface roughness was not good enough. Thus, an oscillating grinding was applied. In addition, the theoretical surface roughness formula in case using the developed tool was formularized. As the result, the required surface roughness in the airplane field was obtained.

Integrity Analysis

The paper presents the surface integrity analysis in ball end milling of thin shaped cantilever plate of Inconel 718. It is noticed that the workpiece deflection has significantly contributed to machined surface integrity in terms of surface topography and subsurface microhardness. The ball end milling performed with 15° workpiece inclination with horizontal tool path produced higher surface integrity which varies with the location of machined surface region. In general, the mid portion of the machined plate shows lower surface roughness and microhardness with less surface defects.

Avoidance Strategy

Chatter vibration frequently occurs in ball end milling. If the characteristics of the cutting tool system and cutting process are known, chatter stability in ball end milling can be evaluated. Hence, in this paper, a chatter-avoidance strategy based on a regenerative chatter theory is proposed to prevent the occurrence of chatter. This consists of a simulation of chatter stability and cutting condition control. When the characteristics of a vibration system change, this chatter-avoidance strategy cannot cope with it. Therefore, another chatter-avoidance control algorism that changes cutting parameters on a machining center is proposed. This can adapt to the change in the characteristics of the vibration systemduring cutting. The effectiveness of the two chatter-avoidance methods proposed is examined through experiments.
