Modeling of cutting force coefficients in cylindrical turning process based on power measurement

The cutting force is an important physical quantity in metal cutting, and the cutting force coefficients are the basis for establishing the cutting force model. In this paper, the relation between the cutting power and the cutting force coefficients is established. A cutting power model was established with a linear relationship between the spindle power and material removal rate (MRR). The power-based model of the main cutting force coefficients is proposed by extracting the linear equation coefficients of the power-MRR function. The power-based model of feed force coefficients is established as a quadratic polynomial equation between the motor power of the feed axis and feed rate. And the cutting force coefficients and the edge force coefficients of feed force are expressed respectively by the two orders of coefficients of the equation. The thrust force coefficients are indirectly calculated from the relation between tangential cutting force and thrust force with friction angle of tool-chip. The power-based models were verified by a series of cutting tests regarding material properties, cutting parameters, and axial directions. The results show that the cutting force coefficients obtained by measuring the cutting power have good correspondence with that identified by dynamometer.     

High-speed milling of CFRP composites: a progressive damage model of cutting force

Three-dimensional Hashin failure criterion and material stiffness degradation model were compiled by VUMAT subroutine. The Abaqus/Explicit solver was performed to establish progressive damage model of cutting force for CFRP high-speed milling, and high-speed milling experiments with different cutting parameters were carried out. Further, the impact mechanism of fiber cutting angle and cutting parameters on cutting force, stress, and material failure during milling was explored, and the material removal mechanism in high-speed milling of CFRP was revealed. The results show that the error between the experimental and simulated of cutting forces is less than 5%, which indicates that the progressive damage model is feasible. The fiber cutting angle has significant influence on cutting force and stress in cutting process, and the cutting direction has a significant influence on cutting force. In addition, cutting parameters play a critical role in cutting force, and the feed per tooth is the most significant factor affecting the cutting force. Simultaneously, the progressive damage model predicts that the shear failure of materials mainly concentrates in the cutting area and extends along the feed direction. Finally, the material removal mechanism of CFRP in high-speed milling was revealed combining cutting force experiment.

An experimental investigation of oblique cutting mechanics

In this study, an experimental investigation of oblique cutting process is presented for titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V, AISI 4340, and Al 7075. Important process parameters such as shear angle, friction angle, shear stress, and chip flow angle are analyzed. Transformation of the data from the orthogonal cutting test results to oblique cutting process is applied, and the results are compared with actual oblique cutting tests. Effects of hone radius on cutting forces and flank contact length are also investigated. It is observed that the shear angle, friction angle, and shear stress in oblique cutting have the same trend with the ones obtained from the orthogonal cutting tests. The transformed oblique force coefficients from orthogonal tests have about 10% discrepancy in the feed and tangential directions. For the chip flow angle, the predictions based on kinematic and force balance results yield better results than Stabler's chip flow law. Finally, it is shown that the method of oblique transformation applied on the orthogonal cutting data yields more accurate results using the predicted chip flow angles compared to the ones obtained by the Stabler's rule.     

Prediction model and simulation of cutting force in turning hard-brittle materials

The removal mechanism of hard-brittle material was studied in this paper. The shear strain and specific shear work of brittle material cutting were analyzed. The cutting force model of hard-brittle material was developed based on the fracture mechanics. Johnson-Cook model was modified and applied to finite element simulation of hard-brittle material cutting. The cutting force of machinable ceramics was predicted by BP neural network. The turning experiments of machinable ceramics were carried out. The influence of processing parameters on cutting force was investigated. The results show that the modified constitutive model well reflects the fracture removal process of brittle material. The simulation results are in well agreement with experimental data and theoretical data. The effects of cutting depth and feed speed on cutting force are larger than those of cutting speed and tool cutting edge angle.     

Multi-objective optimization of cutting parameters in high-speed milling based on grey relational analysis coupled with principal component analysis

This paper investigates optimization problem of the cutting parameters in high-speed milling on NAK80 mold steel. An experiment based on the technology of Taguchi is performed. The objective is to establish a correlation among spindle speed, feed per tooth and depth of cut to the three directions of cutting force in the milling process. In this study, the optimum cutting parameters are obtained by the grey relational analysis. Moreover, the principal component analysis is applied to evaluate the weights so that their relative significance can be described properly and objectively. The results of experiments show that grey relational analysis coupled with principal component analysis can effectively acquire the optimal combination of cutting parameters and the proposed approach can be a useful tool to reduce the cutting force.     

Integration of cutting force control and chatter suppression control into automatic cutting feed adjustment system design

Abstract

This study designed an automatic cutting feed adjustment system for computer numerical control (CNC) turning machine tools, which integrate the operational characteristics of cutting force control and chatter suppression control to shorten the machining time and maintain the quality of workpieces. The setting of appropriate machining conditions (such as cutting feed, spindle speed and depth of cut) to consider both machining quality and efficiency often causes difficulties for machine tool operators. Therefore, this study uses cutting force control to design an automatic cutting feed adjustment method for cutting tools, and then, the chatter suppression control design is used to modify the cutting force command to suppress cutting chatter. The experimental results of the CNC turning machine tool show that the use of the cutting force control to adjust the cutting feed can shorten the machining time; however, the cutting chatter results in larger surface waviness on the workpiece surface. When the cutting force command is properly modified by actuating the chatter suppression control, the workpiece shows better surface roughness with prolonged machining time. Therefore, the cutting tests demonstrate that the proposed system is feasible for satisfying the machining requirements of the manufacturing processes of mechanical parts for high speed and high accuracy.     

Improved dynamic cutting force model in peripheral milling. Part II: experimental verification and prediction

Cutting trials reveal that a measure of cutter run-out is always unavoidable in peripheral milling. This paper improves and extends the dynamic cutting force model of peripheral milling based on the theoretical analytical model presented in Part I [1], by taking into account the influence of the cutter run-out on the undeformed chip thickness. A set of slot milling tests with a single-fluted helical end-mill was carried out at different feed rates, while the 3D cutting force coefficients were calibrated using the averaged cutting forces. The measured and predicted cutting forces were compared using the experimentally identified force coefficients. The results indicate that the model provides a good prediction when the feed rate is limited to a specified interval, and the recorded cutting force curves give a different trend compared to other published results [8]. Subsequently, a series of peripheral milling tests with different helical end-mill were performed at different cutting parameters to validate the proposed dynamic cutting force model, and the cutting conditions were simulated and compared with the experimental results. The result demonstrates that only when the vibration between the cutter and workpiece is faint, the predicted and measured cutting forces are in good agreement.     

Study on cutting force and surface micro-topography of hard turning of GCr15 steel

This work investigates the cutting force and surface micro-topography in hard turning of GCr15 bearing steel. A series of experiments on hard turning of GCr15 steel with polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tools are performed on a CNC machining center. Experimental measurements of cutting force, 3D surface micro-topography, and surface roughness of the workpiece are performed. The 3D surface micro-topography of the workpiece is discussed, and the formation mechanism of the 3D surface is analyzed. The influence of cutting speed and feed rate on cutting force and surface roughness are discussed. The 2D and 3D surface roughness parameters are compared and discussed. It is found that feed rate has greater influence on cutting force and surface roughness than cutting speed and there exists the most appropriate cutting speed under which the minimum surface roughness can be generated while a relatively small cutting force can be found. Recommendations on selecting cutting parameters of hard turning of GCr15 steel are also proposed.     

Analysis of CNC machining based on characteristics of thermal errors and optimal design of experimental programs during actual cutting process

The compensation of thermal errors plays a critical role in developing the machine tools of intelligent computer numerically controlled (CNC). According to the international standards, the testing, modeling, and compensation of thermal error of CNC machine tools are carried out only in a so-called idling state where the spindle is free running without any workload. However, in practical applications, machine tools are often applied in the actual cutting state with more influence factors, such as cutting parameters, cooling liquid, and cutting force. Subsequently, the thermal characteristics at idling state and actual cutting state are compared and analyzed in this paper. It was found that the thermal error compensation model under idling state is not precise enough to be applied in actual cutting state. Also, further research finds that different combinations of cutting parameters, such as spindle speed and feed rate, also have influences on the accuracy of prediction and robustness of thermal error model under actual cutting state. Therefore, the cutting parameters of spindle speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and ambient temperature are studied with the usage of the Taguchi method. Through calculating signal-to-noise ratio (SN) of each combination through residual standard deviation of thermal error model, the combination of optimal cutting parameters can be obtained. The resultant analysis shows that the thermal error model under the combination of optimal cutting parameters demonstrates higher accuracy of prediction and better robustness.     

Effects of the cutting feed, depth of cut, and workpiece (bore) diameter on the tool wear rate

Most published studies on metal cutting regard the cutting speed as having the greatest influence on tool wear and, thus, tool life, while other parameters and characteristics of the cutting process have not attracted as much attention in this respect. This is because of the existence of a number of contradicting results on the influence of the cutting feed, depth of cut, and workpiece (bore) diameter. The present paper discusses the origin of the aforementioned contradicting results. It argues that, when the optimal cutting temperature is considered, the influence of the aforementioned parameters on tool wear becomes clear and straightforward. The obtained results reveal the true influence of the cutting feed, diameter of the workpiece, and diameter of the hole being bored on the tool wear rate. It was also found that the depth of cut does not have a significant influence on the tool wear rate. The obtained results provide methodological help in the experimental assessment and proper reporting of the tool wear rates studied under different cutting conditions.

Micro cutting of tungsten carbides with sem direct observation method

This paper describes the micro cutting of wear resistant tungsten carbides using PCD (Poly-Crystalline Diamond) cutting tools in performance with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) direct observation method. Turning experiments were also carried out on this alloy (V50) using a PCD cutting tool. One of the purposes of this study is to describe clearly the cutting mechanism of tungsten carbides and the behavior of WC particles in the deformation zone in orthogonal micro cutting. Other purposes are to achieve a systematic understanding of machining characteristics and the effects of machining parameters on cutting force, machined surface and tool wear rates by the outer turning of this alloy carried out using the PCD cutting tool during these various cutting conditions. A summary of the results are as follows : (1) From the SEM direct observation in cutting the tungsten carbide, WC particles are broken and come into contact with the tool edge directly. This causes tool wear in which portions scrape the tool in a strong manner. (2) There are two chip formation types. One is where the shear angle is comparatively small and the crack of the shear plane becomes wide. The other is a type where the shear angle is above 45 degrees and the crack of the shear plane does not widen. These differences are caused by the stress condition which gives rise to the friction at the shear plane. (3) The thrust cutting forces tend to increase more rapidly than the principal forces, as the depth of cut and the cutting speed are increased preferably in the orthogonal micro cutting. (4) The tool wear on the flank face was larger than that on the rake face in the orthogonal micro cutting. (5) Three components of cutting force in the conventional turning experiments were different in balance from ordinary cutting such as the cutting of steel or cast iron. Those expressed a large value of thrust force, principal force, and feed force. (6) From the viewpoint of high efficient cutting found within this research, a proper cutting speed was 15 m/min and a proper feed rate was 0.1 mm/rev. In this case, it was found that the tool life of a PCD tool was limited to a distance of approximately 230 m. (7) When the depth of cut was 0.1 mm, there was no influence of the feed rate on the feed force. The feed force tended to decrease, as the cutting distance was long, because the tool was worn and the tool edge retreated. (8) The main tool wear of a PCD tool in this research was due to the flank wear within the maximum value of V_max being about 260 μ.     

Finite element modeling of ultrasonic-assisted turning: cutting force and heat generation

Abstract

Adding ultrasonic vibrations to conventional turning can improve the process in terms of cutting force, surface finish and so on. One of the most important factors in machining is the heat generation during the cutting process. In ultrasonic-assisted turning (UAT) the tool tip also vibrates at very high frequency and this sinusoidal motion causes complexity in heat modeling of the cutting system. Modeling and simulation of cutting processes can help to understand the nature of process and provides information to select optimum conditions and machining parameters. In this article, a finite element model has been developed for predicting tool tip temperature in UAT. The effect of machining parameters including cutting speed, feed rate and amplitude of vibration on the tool tip temperature has been investigated. In order to simplify the machining process, the cutting experiment has been carried out in dry condition. The results showed that by applying ultrasonic vibration to the cutting tool, the tool tip flash temperature increases but in some condition its average value could be less than the conventional machining.

Experimental investigations of cutting parameters influence on cutting forces in turning of Fe-based amorphous overlay for remanufacture

Fe-based amorphous alloy is a new-type material dedicated to the remanufacture due to its unique property. Fe-based amorphous alloy is deposited on the abrased, fatigued, and fractured surface for resuming and upgrading its performance. In the present research, properties of amorphous alloy overlay, such as the microstructure, the phase content, thermal behavior, and mechanical property were evaluated and its machinability with respect to machining forces was experimentally investigated. Based on the response surface methodology and Box–Behnken design, four-factor (cutting speed, feed, depth of cut, and rake angle) three-level experiments were applied and analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed. It is found that depth of cut is the dominant cutting parameter that affects the machining force components. Rake angle and interaction of feed rate and depth of cut can provide secondary significance to machining forces. Cutting speed, alone, has insignificant influence on machining force components. Predicting model for machining forces is established. ANOVA indicates that a linear model best fits the radial force and while a quadratic model best describes the axial force and cutting force. The optimal cutting parameters under these experimental conditions are searched.
