Determination of a coupling equation for milling parameters based on optimal cutting temperature

Nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (NMQL) is one of the main modes of sustainable manufacturing. It is an environment-friendly, energy-saving, and highly efficient lubrication method. With the use of nanoparticles, the tribological properties of debris–tool and workpiece–tool interfaces will change. However, spectrum analyses of force and power spectral density (PSD) of surface microstructures are limited. In the present work, the milling force, friction coefficient, specific energy, surface roughness, and surface microstructure of debris were evaluated in milling of 45 steel for different lubrication conditions, namely, dry, flood, minimum quantity lubrication, and Al₂O₃ NMQL. Results demonstrated that compared with other lubrication conditions, NMQL achieves minimum milling force peak (F_x?=?270 N, F_y?=?160 N, F_z?=?50 N), friction coefficient (μ?= 1.039), specific energy (U?= 65.5 J/mm³), and surface roughness value (R_a?=?2.254 μm, RS_m?=?0.0562 mm). Furthermore, a spectrum analysis of the milling force and PSD of the surface microstructure was conducted for validation. The spectral analysis of milling force revealed that NMQL obtained the lowest milling force and amplitude in the middle-frequency region, thereby indicating the minimum abrasion loss of the tool. Meanwhile, the PSD analysis indicated that NMQL had the lowest proportional coefficient in the low-frequency region (0.4766) and the highest proportional coefficient in the high-frequency region (0.0569). These results revealed that the workpiece surface gained by Al₂O₃ NMQL obtained higher wave fineness than other working conditions. By combining with the lowest R_a, NMQL contributes the best workpiece surface quality. Therefore, machining experiments using NMQL showed the best lubrication performance.     

Milling Force Model for Aviation Aluminum Alloy:Academic Insight and Perspective Analysis

Aluminum alloy is the main structural material of aircraft,launch vehicle,spaceship,and space station and is pro-cessed by milling.However,tool wear and vibration are the bottlenecks in the milling process of aviation aluminum alloy.The machining accuracy and surface quality of aluminum alloy milling depend on the cutting parameters,material mechanical properties,machine tools,and other parameters.In particular,milling force is the crucial factor to determine material removal and workpiece surface integrity.However,establishing the prediction model of milling force is important and difficult because milling force is the result of multiparameter coupling of process system.The research progress of cutting force model is reviewed from three modeling methods:empirical model,finite element simulation,and instantaneous milling force model.The problems of cutting force modeling are also determined.In view of these problems,the future work direction is proposed in the following four aspects:(1)high-speed milling is adopted for the thin-walled structure of large aviation with large cutting depth,which easily produces high residual stress.The residual stress should be analyzed under this particular condition.(2)Multiple factors(e.g.,eccentric swing milling parameters,lubrication conditions,tools,tool and workpiece deformation,and size effect)should be consid-ered comprehensively when modeling instantaneous milling forces,especially for micro milling and complex surface machining.(3)The database of milling force model,including the corresponding workpiece materials,working condi-tion,cutting tools(geometric figures and coatings),and other parameters,should be established.(4)The effect of chatter on the prediction accuracy of milling force cannot be ignored in thin-walled workpiece milling.(5)The cutting force of aviation aluminum alloy milling under the condition of minimum quantity lubrication(mql)and nanofluid mql should be predicted.

A new method for cutting force prediction in peripheral milling of complex curved surface

The instantaneous uncut chip thickness and entry/exit angle of tool/workpiece engagement vary with tool path, workpiece geometry and cutting parameters in peripheral milling of complex curved surface, leading to the strong time-varying characteristic for instantaneous cutting forces. A new method for cutting force prediction in peripheral milling of complex curved surface is proposed in this paper. Considering the tool path, cutter runout, tool type(constant/nonconstant pitch cutter) and tool actual motion, a representation model of instantaneous uncut chip thickness and entry/exit angle of tool/ workpiece engagement is established firstly, which can reach better accuracy than the traditional models. Then, an approach for identifying of cutter runout parameters and calibrating of specific cutting force coefficients is presented. Finally, peripheral milling experiments are carried out with two types of tool, and the results indicate that the predicted cutting forces are highly consistent with the experimental values in the aspect of variation tendency and amplitude.

Analysis of cutting force coefficients in high-speed ball end milling at varying rotational speeds

In high-speed ball end milling, cutting forces influence machinability, dimensional accuracy, tool failure, tool deflection, machine tool chatter, vibration, etc. Thus, an accurate prediction of cutting forces before actual machining is essential for a good insight into the process to produce good quality machined parts. In this article, an attempt has been made to determine specific cutting force coefficients in ball end milling based on a linear mechanistic model at a higher range of rotational speeds. The force coefficients have been determined based on average cutting force. Cutting force in one revolution of the cutter was recorded to avoid the cutter run-out condition (radial). Milling experiments have been conducted on aluminum alloy of grade Al2014-T6 at different spindle speeds and feeds. Thus, the dependence of specific cutting force coefficients on cutting speeds has been studied and analyzed. It is found that specific cutting force coefficients change with change in rotational speed while keeping other cutting parameters unchanged. Hence, simulated cutting forces at higher range of rotational speed might have considerable errors if specific cutting force coefficients evaluated at lower rotational speed are used. The specific cutting force coefficients obtained analytically have been validated through experiments.

Temperature field model and experimental verification on cryogenic air nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication grinding

Considering the poor lubricating effect of cryogenic air (CA) and inadequate cooling ability of nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (NMQL), this work proposes a new manufacturing technique cryogenic air nanofluid minimum quantity lubrication (CNMQL). A heat transfer coefficient and a finite difference model under different grinding conditions were established based on the theory of boiling heat transfer and conduction. The temperature field in the grinding zone under different cooling conditions was simulated. Results showed that CNMQL exerts the optimal cooling effect, followed by CA and NMQL. On the basis of model simulation, experimental verification of the surface grinding temperature field under cooling conditions of CA, MQL, and CNMQL was conducted with Ti–6Al–4V as the workpiece material. Simultaneously, CNMQL exhibits the smallest specific tangential and normal grinding forces (2.17 and 2.66 N/mm, respectively). Further, the lowest grinding temperature (155.9 °C) was also obtained, which verified the excellent cooling and heat transfer capabilities of CNMQL grinding. Furthermore, the experimental results were in agreement with theoretical analysis, thereby validating the accuracy of the theoretical model.

The vibration behavior of impeller blades in the five-axis CNC flank milling process

Today, in most cases, impellers of centrifugal compressors are produced by flank milling on five-axis CNC milling machines. The complex three-dimensional geometry of the very thin blades consists of ruled surfaces. The flank milling process allows a fast production of the impellers and the surface of the blades is of high quality. The limited strength of the very thin blades and also the thin outer radial part of the disk lead to a high sensitivity to static and especially dynamic forces that are caused by the instationary flow in the impeller. The dynamic forces of rotating stall and surge are the most dangerous excitations of the bladed disk. Coupled vibrations may occur and damage the impeller. The highest static load is caused by the centrifugal forces. Therefore, most of the high-loaded impellers are manufactured from aluminum alloy or titanium because of the low density of this light metals and the relatively high strength. Most of the interests and the investigations in the last years are paid to the vibration behavior and the dynamic loads of the impeller during operation. But sometimes, the highest stress may occur during the production process and damage the impeller or weaken the strength and so cause later problems. Especially, excitations from the dynamic forces during the flank milling process have to be taken under consideration. The vibration behavior of the impeller is very complex and is affected by the vibration behavior of the cutter and the milling machine. In this paper, the change of the vibration behavior of centrifugal compressor impeller blades during the manufacturing process is investigated. During the finishing of the thin blades, the blade thickness is continuously changing and also the strength and the corresponding eigenfrequencies of the blade. The dynamic forces acting on the blades are caused by the cutter, the milling machine, and the cutting process. The quantity of the forces and the frequency of the excitation are determined by the rotational speed of the cutter, the feed, the number of edges, and the chip thickness. The results described in this paper give useful information about the change of the vibration behavior of the centrifugal impeller blades during the flank milling process and possible interaction with the cutter and the machine.

Identification of instantaneous cutting force coefficients using surface error

Cutting force coefficients are the key factors for efficient and accurate prediction of instantaneous milling force. To calibrate the coefficients, this paper presents an instantaneous milling force model including runout and cutter deformation. Also, forming of surface error is analyzed, and a surface error model considering runout is proposed. Using surface errors of two experiments completed with the same cutting conditions but different axial depth only, cutter deformation is obtained. Then, a new approach for the determination of instantaneous cutting force coefficients is provided. The method can eliminate influences of the other factors except cutter deformation and runout. A series of experiments are designed, and the results are used to identify the parameters. With the evaluated coefficients and runout parameters, the instantaneous milling force and surface error are predicted. A good agreement between predicted results and experimental results is achieved, which shows that the method is efficient, and effect of runout on surface error is not negligible.
