Feedrate optimization and tool profile modification for the high-efficiency ball-end milling process

Trend in die/mold machining is to produce highly quailed surface using the high-speed hard machining with the ball-end cutter. The ball-end milling is, however, less efficiency than the flat end milling. It is important to optimize the feedrate that gives the maximum material removal rate constrained by an allowable surface roughness. The state-of-art of the CBN ball-end cutter technology allows increasing the tooth feed for high-speed and high-efficiency machining. However, because the spherical shape of the cutter can result in the scallop-liked cusps on the machined surface, the surface roughness consideration makes a feedrate limitation to the CBN cutter. In this paper, the optimization of the feedrate by considering the generated-scallop effect of the ball-end cutter has been studied. It was found that the tooth feed must be kept within one third of the path pick in order to keep the feed-interval scallop height not over the path-interval scallop height. Therefore, the potential capability of the CBN cutter for the larger tooth feed (i.e. high efficient) machining can not be fully exploited. It was found a notch-cut on the center of the ball-end cutter reduced the feed-interval cusp height, thus allowing an increased feedrate of more than 50% compared with the standard ball-end cutter. If the parameters of the notch-cut profile can be optimized, it is believed that the feedrate can be further increased.     

An improved cutting force and surface topography prediction model in end milling

During the milling operation, the cutting forces will induce vibration on the cutting tool, the workpiece, and the fixtures, which will affect the surface integrity of the final part and consequently the product's quality. In this paper, a generic and improved model is introduced to simultaneously predict the conventional cutting forces along with 3D surface topography during side milling operation. The model incorporates the effects of tool runout, tool deflection, system dynamics, flank face wear, and the tool tilting on the surface roughness. An improved technique to calculate the instantaneous chip thickness is also presented. The model predictions on cutting forces and surface roughness and topography agreed well with experimental results.

Structural and electrochemical characterization of mechanochemically synthesized calcium zincate as rechargeable anodic materials

Hydrated calcium zincate was synthesized by mechanical ball milling of ZnO and Ca(OH)₂ in water at room temperature. The structural and electrochemical properties of this material used as rechargeable anodic material were examined by microelectrode voltammetry, charge–discharge measurements and structural analysis. The results showed that during mechanical milling, ZnO, Ca(OH)₂ and H₂O reacted rapidly to form Ca[Zn(OH)₃]₂ · 2H₂O which was subsequently transformed to a stable structure CaZn₂(OH)₆ · 2H₂O. Since this composite oxide has lower solubility in KOH solution (<35 wt %) and better electrochemical reversibility than ZnO-based negative materials, the zinc anodes using this material can overcome the problems of shape changes and dendritc formation, and therefore exhibit improved cycling life.
