Whirling is a cutting process in which a series of cutting edges remove material by turning over the rotating workpiece. In this process, the whirling ring with a number of cutting teeth combined with the rotation and advancement of workpiece, produces pitches of worm. Mechanics of chip formation of the process, however, has not been fully estabilished. To estimate the cutting force during the process, the kinematics and the maximum undeformed chip thickness to be removed by each cutting edge should be thoroughly analyzed. In this study, using the recently developed model of undeformed chip thickness and the DEFORM software, cutting forces of the whirling process are estimated. The effects of cutting forces on tool are analyzed using the ADAMS software. The validity of the simulations has been verified with a series of cutting experiments.

High Speed Cutting

The Finite Element Method (FEM) has proven to be an effective technique to investigate cutting process so as to improve cutting tool design and select optimum cutting conditions. The present work focuses on the FEM simulation of cutting forces in high speed cutting by using an orthogonal cutting model with variant undeformed chip thickness under plane-strain condition to mimic intermittent cutting process such as milling. High speed cutting of 45%C steel using uncoated carbide tools are simulated as the application of the proposed model. The updated Lagrangian formulation is adopted in the dynamic FEM simulation in which the normalized Cockroft and Latham damage criterion is used as the ductile fracture criterion. The simulation results of cutting force components under different cutting conditions show that both the thrust cutting force and the tangential cutting force increase with the increase in undeformed chip thickness or feed rate, whereas decrease with the increase in cutting speed. Some important aspects of modeling the high speed cutting are discussed as well to expect the future work in FEM simulation.

Tool edge radius has obvious influences on micro-cutting process. It considers the ratio of the cutting edge radius and the uncut chip thickness as the relative tool sharpness (RST). FEM simulations of orthogonal cutting processes were studied with dynamics explicit ALE method. AISI 1045 steel was chosen for workpiece, and cemented carbide was chosen for cutting tool. Sixteen cutting edges with different RTS values were chosen for analysis. Cutting forces and temperature distributions were calculated for carbide cutting tools with these RTS values. Cutting edge with a small RTS obtains large cutting forces. Ploughing force tend to sharply increase when the RTS of the cutting edge is small. Cutting edge with a reasonable RTS reduces the heat generation and presents reasonable temperature distributions, which is beneficial to cutting life. The force and temperature distributions demonstrate that there is a reasonable RTS range for the cutting edge.

Meso Scale

This paper develops a three-axis micro milling machine for manufacturing meso-scale components and products. This machine utilizes high-speed miniature spindle to obtain appropriate cutting velocities, and three precision linear stages with 50 nm feed resolution to supply the relative motion. The PMAC2 controller is used to control three axes simultaneously, and a piezoelectric dynamometer is mounted on the X-Y stages to measure three-dimensional cutting forces for the real-time measurement and feedback. More than 200 cutting experiments of end milling operations are performed on the developed machine. When the machined feature ranges at meso scale, the characteristics and phenomena in milling process will heavily differ from those of conventional scale milling due to the size effects. The critical differences at meso scale arise from the breakdown of the assumptions of negligible edge radius effects. The roundness of cutting edge and the runout of spindle have a crucial impact on the chip formation process and the characteristics of cutting forces. The roundness of cutting edge also induces the existence of the minimum chip thickness and the intermittency of the chip formation at a low feed per tooth.

Five Axis

The prediction of five-axis ball-end milling forces is quite a challenge due to difficulties of determining the underformed chip thickness and engaged cutting edge. To solve these concerns, this paper presents a new mechanistic model of cutting forces based on tool motion analysis. In the model, for undeformed chip thickness determination, an analytical model is first established to describe the sweep surface of cutting edge during the five-axis ball-end milling process of curved geometries. The undeformed chip thickness is then calculated according to the real kinematic trajectory of cutting edges under continuous change of the cutter axis orientation. A Z-map method is used to verify the engaged cutting edge and cutting coefficients are subsequently calibrated. The mechanistic method is applied to predict the cutting force. Validation tests are conducted under different cutter postures and cutting conditions. The comparison between predicted and measured values demonstrates the applicability of the proposed prediction model of cutting forces.

Improved Model

An improved model of the milling process is presented. The model proposes a method of determining cutting forces in five distinct regions where the cutting edge travels during dynamic milling. Trochoidal motion of the milling cutter is used in determining uncut chip thickness. The kinematics of the cutter and workpiece vibrations are modelled, which identifies the orientation and velocity direction of the cutting edge during dynamic cutting. The model allows the prediction of forces and surface finish under rigid or dynamic cutting conditions. The proposed mechanism of chip thickness, force and surface generation is proven with simulation and experimental results. It is found that when the tooth passing frequency is selected to be an integer ratio of a dominant frequency of tool-workpiece structure in milling imprint of vibrations on the surface finish is avoided.

Tooth Cutting

Instantaneous undeformed chip thickness is one of the key parameters in modeling of micro-milling process. Most of the existing instantaneous undeformed chip thickness models in meso-scale cutting process are based on the trochoidal trajectory of the cutting edge, which neglect the influences of cutter installation errors, cutter-holder manufacturing errors, radial runout of the spindle and so forth on the instantaneous undeformed chip thickness. This article investigates the tooth trajectory in micro-milling process. A prediction model of radial runout of cutting edge is built, with consideration of the effects of the extended length of micro-milling cutter and the spindle speed. Considering the effects of cutting-edge trochoidal trajectory, radial runout of cutting edge and the minimum cutting thickness, a novel instantaneous undeformed chip thickness model is proposed, and the phenomenon of single-tooth cutting in micro-milling process is analyzed. Comparisons of cutting forces under different chip thickness models and experimental data indicate that this new model can be used to predict cutting forces.

Abstract Everyday practice of cutting process planning requires reliable chipbreacking and this is particularly true when machining difficult-ti-machine materials as austenitic stainless steels. The use of pressed-groove type of chipbreakers prove to provide a partly solution of the problem since their utilization unavoidably leads to increasing cutting force and chipping of the cutting edge. The use of clapped-on chipbreaker seems to solve these problems. However new design and application problem arise. This paper deals with the analysis of these problema and offers a methodology for it resolving. As a result, a new type of a clamped-on chipbreaker has been developed.

This work studies the effect of heat treatment and cutting velocities on machining cutting forces in turning of a Cu-11.8%Al-0.55%Be shape memory alloys. The heat treatment was performed to obtain samples with austenite and martensite microstructures. Cutting force was investigated using a 3-component dynamometer in several revolutions and data were analyzed using statistic tools. It was found that the resultant forces were higher in quenched alloy due to the presence of Shape Memory Effect. Chip formation occurred in a shorter time in the sample without the Shape Memory Effect.

A new method, which accurately predicts cutting force in ball end milling considering cutting edge around center web, has been proposed. The new method accurately calculates the uncut chip thickness, which is required to estimate the cutting force by the instantaneous rigid force model. In the instantaneous rigid force model, the uncut chip thickness is generally calculated on the cutting edge in each minute disk element piled up along the tool axis. However, the orientation of tool cutting edge of ball end mill is different from that of square end mill. Therefore, for the ball end mill, the uncut chip thickness cannot be calculated accurately in the minute disk element, especially around the center web. Then, this study proposes a method to calculate the uncut chip thickness along the vector connecting the center of the ball and the cutting edge. The proposed method can reduce the estimation error of the uncut chip thickness especially around the center web compared with the previous method. Our study also realizes to calculate the uncut chip thickness discretely by using voxel model and detecting the removal voxels in each minute tool rotation angle, in which the relative relationship between a cutting edge and a workpiece, which changes dynamically during tool rotation. A cutting experiment with the ball end mill was conducted in order to validate the proposed method. The results showed that the error between the measured and predicted cutting forces can be reduced by the proposed method compared with the previous method.
