Analytical modelling of slot milling exit burr size

A computational model was recently proposed by authors to approximate the tangential cutting force and consequently predict the thickness of the exit up milling side burr. To calculate the cutting force, the specific cutting force coefficient with respect to material properties was used. The model was sensitive to material yield strength and few cutting and tool geometrical parameters. However, the effects of cutting speed, tool coating, and tool rake angle on burr size were neglected. Other phenomena that could affect the burr size such as friction and abrasion were not taken into account either. Therefore, in the current work, a mechanistic force model is incorporated to propose a burr size prediction algorithm. The tangential and radial forces are calculated based on using specific cutting force coefficients in each direction. Furthermore, using the new approach, the burr size is predicated and the effects of a broad range of cutting parameters on burr size and friction angle are evaluated. Experimental values of burr size correlated well with prediction. It was found that the cutting speed has negligible effects on force and burr size. Lower friction angle was recorded when using larger feed per tooth. Consequently, thinner exit up milling side burr was obtained under high friction angle.     

Development of cutting tools with microscale and nanoscale textures to improve frictional behavior

We developed novel cutting tools that had either microscale or nanoscale textures on their surfaces. Texturing microscale or nanoscale features on a solid surface allowed us to control the tribological characteristics of the tool. The textures, which had pitches and depths ranging from several hundreds of nanometers to several tens of micrometers, were fabricated utilizing the ablation and interference phenomena of a femtosecond laser. The effect of the texture shape on the machinability of an aluminum alloy was investigated with a turning experiment applying the minimum quantity lubrication method. The texture decreased the cutting force due to the corresponding reduction in the friction on the rake face. This effect strongly depended on the direction of the texture; lower cutting forces were achieved when the texture was perpendicular to the chip flow direction rather than parallel. This effect was only observed at high cutting speeds over 420 m/min. These results indicate that the developed tools effectively improved the machinability of the alloy.     

纳米切削过程中刀-屑接触区应力分布研究

高速切削时刀屑接触区的应力分布直接影响切削过程、切削温度及刀具磨损。利用分子动力学技术对纳米切削过程中刀屑接触区的应力分布特征进行研究,分别采用EAM势、Tersoff 势及Morse势计算单晶铜原子间、单晶硅原子间、工件原子与刀具原子间的相互作用力。分析纳米尺度下刀屑接触长度随切削距离变化的规律,探讨刀具前角对刀屑接触区应力分布的影响,通过描述刀屑接触区切屑原子的运动情况,为阐释刀屑接触区的应力分布特征提供依据。研究结果表明在刀-铜屑接触区,正应力在切削刃处最大,随着到切削刃距离的增大而减小,在刀-硅屑接触区,正应力以规则的波动形式逐渐减小。而切应力在切削刃处为负值,随着到切削刃距离的增大,切应力在刀屑接触长度的三分之二处增大到最大值后逐渐减小至零。

A NEW METHOD FOR CUTTING TOOL TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT USING CCD INFRARED TECHNIQUE: INFLUENCE OF TOOL AND COATING

ABSTRACT

Machining presents strongly-coupled thermal, mechanical, and metallurgical phenomena, such as friction, plasticity, and wear. A knowledge of the temperature at any point in the cutting zone is consequently essential to understanding the cutting process. A method using infrared analysis with CCD (silicon) sensors, which can directly provide the entire thermal map of the surfaces in the cutting zone is presented. This method can validate numerical models and can provide information on the influence of different cutting parameters and conditions. The influence of the tool and the coating on the temperature distribution is also discussed.     

Indirect Cutting Force Measurement Considering Frictional Behaviour in a Machining Centre Using Feed Motor Current

In machine tools, friction exists between the table and the guideways, and in ballscrews. In this paper, feed motor current is measured by a hall effect current sensor. It is used to calculate the motor torque which, in turn, is the frictional torque at steady state. Some frictional phenomena are studied in feed drive systems of a horizontal machining centre, such as the relationship between feedrate and frictional torque, the relationship between frictional torque and table feed position, and the slideway cover effects on frictional torque. Considering all these frictional phenomena, the relationship between the feed force and the feed motor current is obtained. Feed force can be estimated well from the feed motor current considering frictional behaviour. The relationship between the cutting force and the feed motor current is slightly different during up milling and down milling, because y(vertical) directional cutting force changes the frictional force.     

Friction in machining — Comparison of rake and flank wear-land friction

Metal cutting studies were carried out to study the nature of the friction present at the tool-chip and tool-work contact surfaces in the presence of progressing flank wear. The distribution of the friction stresses was obtained during the machining of metallic lead with photoelastic model tools having a prehoned land simulating flank wear. The validity of the binomial law of friction along the rake contact surfaces and along the flank contact surfaces was verified and compared. The effects of increasing wearland upon the rake and flank contact phenomena were studied for correct evaluation of the role of friction upon the flank wear of tools. The studies have indicated the dominant influence of flank wear (particularly in the early stages) upon the two contact processes. It was found that the proportional contribution of the adhesive component of the friction coefficient was greater in the case of tool-chip contact, although the overall average coefficient of friction was higher along the flank wear-land.

A numeric investigation of friction behaviors along tool/chip interface in nanometric machining of a single crystal copper structure

The interaction between the tool rake face and the chip is critical to chip morphology, cutting forces, surface quality, and other phenomena in machining. A large body of existing literature on nanometric machining or nano-scratching only considers the overall friction behavior by simply regarding the total force along tool movement direction as the friction force, which is not suitable for describing the intriguing friction phenomena along the tool/chip interface. In this study, the molecular dynamic (MD) simulation is used to model the nanometric machining process of single crystal copper with diamond tools. The effects of three factors, namely, tool rake angle, depth of cut, and tool travel distance, are considered. The simulation results reveal that the normal force and friction force distributions along tool/chip interface for all cases investigated are similarly shaped. It is found that the normal force consistently increases along the entire tool/chip interface when a more negative rake angle tool is used. However, the friction force increases as the rake angle becomes more negative only in the contact area close to the tool tip, and it reverses the trend in the middle of tool/chip interface. Meanwhile, the increase of depth of cut overall increases the normal force along the tool/chip interface, but the friction force does not necessarily increase. Also, the progress of tool into the work material does not change the patterns of normal force, friction force, or friction coefficient distributions to a great extent. More importantly, it is discovered that the traditional sliding model with a constant friction coefficient can be used to approximate the later section of friction distributions. However, no friction model for traditional machining is appropriate to describe the first section of friction distributions obtained from the MD simulation.     

Modeling of the minimum cutting thickness in micro cutting with consideration of the friction around the cutting zone

Friction modeling between the tool and the workpiece plays an important role in predicting the minimum cutting thickness during TC4 micro machining and finite element method (FEM) cutting simulation. In this study, a new three-region friction modeling is proposed to illustrate the material flow mechanism around the friction zone in micro cutting; estimate the stress distributions on the rake, edge, and clearance faces of the tool; and predict the stagnation point location and the minimum cutting thickness. The friction modeling is established by determining the distribution of normal and shear stress. Then, it is applied to calculate the stagnation point location on the edge face and predict the minimum cutting thickness. The stagnation point and the minimum cutting thickness are also observed and illustrated in the FEM simulation. Micro cutting experiments are conducted to validate the accuracy of the friction and the minimum cutting thickness modeling. Comparison results show that the proposed friction model illustrates the relationship between the normal and sheer stress on the tool surface, thereby validating the modeling method of the minimum cutting thickness in micro cutting.

超声振动和切削液联合作用下的刀刃非物理锐化

超声辅助切削和切削液的联合使用能减小切削力和降低表面粗糙度,试图说明其机理,目的是为开发精密和超精加工技术打下基础。超声辅助切削和切削液的联合使用,从性质上改变了刀刃施加给工件表面的作用力,包括摩擦力和压力：在无切削液情况下,刀刃切入时,前刀面和后刀面施加给被切削面的摩擦力方向是指向刀刃;在有切削液情况下,刀刃切入时,前刀面和后刀面施加给被切削面的摩擦力方向是背向刀刃。背向刀刃的摩擦力,相对于指向刀刃的摩擦力而言,会导致剪切角增大,等效于更锋利的刀刃所产生的剪切角;切削液的存在使得刀刃施加给工件的力更加集中,等效于圆角半径更小的刀刃所能达到的效果;切削液在刀尖部位的压力分布不利于工件表面产生微裂纹。也就是说,超声辅助切削和切削液的联合使用起到了更锋利即更小圆角半径刀刃所起的效果,称之为非物理锐化。
