This paper presents the experimental results of cutting force and surface roughness of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy under the cutting speed of 3000~5000m/min. The cutting forces and surface roughness with different cutting parameters were analyzed. Experimental results suggested that increasing cutting speed would engender thermal softening, which would in return affect the cutting force and surface roughness in high speed milling. The cutting force and surface roughness were affected by cutting depth and feed rate obviously. Surface roughness was also affected by cutting width which changed the cutting force slightly. According to the results, proper parameters could be selected and thermodynamic relationship needed to be discussed for further research.

The Impact

Most aerospace parts are thin walled and made of aluminum or titanium alloy that is machined to the required shape and dimensions. Deformation is a common issue. Although the reduced cutting forces used in high-speed milling generate low residual stress, the problem of deformation cannot be completely resolved. In this work, we emphasized that choosing the correct cutting parameters and machining techniques could increase the cutting performance and surface quality and reduce the deformation of thin plates. In this study, a part made of a thin 6061 aluminum alloy plate was machined by high-speed milling (HSM), and a Taguchi L16 orthogonal array was used to optimize the following parameters: linear velocity, feed per tooth, cutting depth, cutting width, and toolpath. The impact of cutting parameters on the degree of deformation, surface roughness, as well as the cutting force on the thin plate were all investigated. The results showed that the experimental parameters for the optimal degree of deformation were A1 (linear velocity 450 mm/min), B1 (feed per tooth 0.06 mm/tooth), C1 (cutting depth 0.3 mm), D4 (cutting width 70%), and E4 (rough zigzag). Feed per tooth was the most significant control factor, with a contribution as high as 63.5%. It should also be mentioned that, according to the factor response of deformation, there was a lower value of feed per tooth and less deformation. Furthermore, the feed per tooth and the cutting depth decreased and the surface roughness increased. The cutting force rose or fell with an increase or decrease of cutting depth.

Optimization Of Cutting Parameters

The measurement method and apparatus of cutting force by high speed milling is introduced. The high speed milling force of wrought aluminum alloy is measured and analyzed through separately examining the influences of various factors, such as cutting speed, cutting depth, milling width, feed per cutting tooth, down or up milling, cooling and lubricating. The results match with outcomes from other’s tests and the theory of metal cutting, and are close to the calculated force values, so that the test can be regarded as positive. It is pointed out that high cutting speed, little cutting depth, properly great working engagement and feed per tooth, high feed rate, down milling and efficient cooling and lubricating should be used to reduce cutting force and deformation, to improve milling accuracy and efficiency, which can be helpful to the spread applications of High Speed Machining.

An experimental study was conducted to determine cutting parameters of high-speed milling of Ti-17 according to their effects on residual stresses. First, three groups of single factor experiments were carried out to reveal the effects of cutting parameters on residual stresses. Then sensitivity models were established to evaluate the influence degrees of cutting parameters on residual stresses. After that, three criteria were proposed to determine cutting parameters from experimental parameter ranges. In the experiments, the cutting parameter ranges are recommended as [371.8, 406.8] m/min, [0.363, 0.412] mm and [0, 0.018] mm/z for cutting speed, cutting depth and feed per tooth, respectively.

In recent years, most of nickel-based materials have been used in aircraft engines. Nickel-based materials applied in the aerospace industry are used in a wide range of applications because of their strength and rigidity at high temperature. However, the high temperatures and high strength caused by the nickel-based materials during cutting also reduce the tool lifetime. This research aims to investigate the tool wear and the surface roughness of Waspaloy during cutting with various cutting speeds, feed per tooth, cutting depth, and other cutting parameters. Then, it derives the formula for the tool lifetime based on the experimental results and explores the impacts of these cutting parameters on the cutting of Waspaloy. Since the impacts of cutting speed on the cutting of Waspaloy are most significant in accordance with the experimental results, the high-speed cutting is not recommended. In addition, the actual surface roughness of Waspaloy is worse than the theoretical surface roughness in case of more tool wear. Finally, a set of mathematical models can be established based on these results, in order to predict the surface roughness of Waspaloy cut with a worn tool. The errors between the predictive values and the actual values are 5.122%∼8.646%. If the surface roughness is within the tolerance, the model can be used to predict the residual tool lifetime before the tool is damaged completely. The errors between the predictive values and the actual values are 8.014%∼20.479%.

Milling Forces

Cutting forces is one of the important physical phenomena in metal cutting process. It directly affects the surface quality of machining, tool life and cutting stability. The orthogonal experiments of cutting forces and influence factors with indexable and solid end mill were accomplished and the predictive model of milling force was established during high speed end milling 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy. The paper makes research mainly on the influence which the cutting speed, cutting depth and feed have on the cutting force. The experimental results of single factor showed that the cutting forces increase earlier and drop later with the increase of cutting speed, and the cutting speed of inflexion for 7050-T7451 is 1100m/min. As axial cutting depth, radial cutting depth and feed rate increase, the cutting force grows in different degree. The cutting force is particularly sensitive to axial cutting depth and slightly to the radial cutting depth.

A series of milling experiments with and without cutting fluid, arranged by uniform design method, were carried out on rotor material. The influence of cutting fluid on cutting force and surface roughness was explored and compared for the two kinds of conditions. The associated model was established between cutting force & surface roughness and cutting parameters according to the linear multivariable regression method. The results show that the cutting force deceases with the increase of the cutting speed or with the decrease of the feed per tooth and the cutting depth. Cutting fluid has little effect on cutting force, and for surface roughness, the influence of cutting fluid is uncertain.

In this study, the influence of cutting parameters and machining time on the tool wear and surface roughness was investigated in high-speed milling process of Al6061 using face carbide inserts. Taguchi experimental matrix (L9) was chosen to design and conduct the experimental research with three input parameters (feed rate, cutting speed, and axial depth of cut). Tool wear (VB) and surface roughness (Ra) after different machining strokes (after 10, 30, and 50 machining strokes) were selected as the output parameters. In almost cases of high-speed face milling process, the most significant factor that influenced on the tool wear was cutting speed (84.94 % after 10 machining strokes, 52.13 % after 30 machining strokes, and 68.58 % after 50 machining strokes), and the most significant factors that influenced on the surface roughness were depth of cut and feed rate (70.54 % after 10 machining strokes, 43.28 % after 30 machining strokes, and 30.97 % after 50 machining strokes for depth of cut. And 22.01 % after 10 machining strokes, 44.39 % after 30 machining strokes, and 66.58 % after 50 machining strokes for feed rate). Linear regression was the most suitable regression of VB and Ra with the determination coefficients (R2) from 88.00 % to 91.99 % for VB, and from 90.24 % to 96.84 % for Ra. These regression models were successfully verified by comparison between predicted and measured results of VB and Ra. Besides, the relationship of VB, Ra, and different machining strokes was also investigated and evaluated. Tool wear, surface roughness models, and their relationship that were found in this study can be used to improve the surface quality and reduce the tool wear in the high-speed face milling of aluminum alloy Al6061

Because of the massive work and high cost of milling experiments, finite element analysis technology (FEA) was used to analyze the milling process of ADC12 aluminum alloy. An improved Johnson–Cook (J–C) constitutive equation was fitted by a series of dynamic impact tests in different strain rates and temperatures. It found that the flow stress gradually increases as the strain rate rises, but it decreases as the test temperature rises. Compared with the J–C constitutive model, the predicted flow stress by the improved J–C constitutive model was closer to the experimental results when the strain rate was larger than 8000 s−1 and the temperature was higher than 300 °C. A two-dimensional cycloidal cutting simulation model was constructed based on the two J–C constitutive equations which was validated by milling experiments at different cutting speeds. The simulation results based on the improved J–C constitutive equation were closer to the experimental results and showed the cutting force first increased and then decreased, with cutting speed increasing, reaching a maximum at 600 m/min.

This study was carried out to investigate how the high-speed milling of Inconel 718 using ball nose end mill could enhance the productivity and quality of the finish parts. The experimental work was carried out through Response Surface Methodology via Box-Behnken design. The effect of prominent milling parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut (DOC), and width of cut (WOC) were studied to evaluate their effects on tool life, surface roughness and cutting force. In this study, the cutting speed, feed rate, DOC, and WOC were in the range of 100 - 140 m/min, 0.1 - 0.2 mm/tooth, 0.5 - 1.0 mm and 0.2 - 1.8 mm, respectively. In order to reduce the effect of heat generated during the high speed milling operation, minimum quantity lubrication of 50 ml/hr was used. The effect of input factors on the responds was identified by mean of ANOVA. The response of tool life, surface roughness and cutting force together with calculated material removal rate were then simultaneously optimized and further described by perturbation graph. Interaction between WOC with other factors was found to be the most dominating factor of all responds. The optimum cutting parameter which obtained the longest tool life of 60 mins, minimum surface roughness of 0.262 μm and resultant force of 221 N was at cutting speed of 100 m/min, feed rate of 0.15 mm/tooth, DOC 0.5 m and WOC 0.66 mm.
