An analytical approach to cutting force prediction in milling of carbon fiber reinforced polymer laminates

ABSTRACT

A prediction model of cutting force for milling multidirectional laminate of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites was developed in this article by using an analytical approach. In the predictive model, an equivalent uniform chip thickness was used in the case of orthogonal plane cutting, and the average specific cutting energy was taken as an empirical function of equivalent chip thickness and fiber orientation angle. The parameters in the model were determined by the experimental data. Then, the analytical model of cutting force prediction was validated by the experimental data of multidirectional CFRP laminates, which shows the good reliability of the model established. Furthermore, the cutting force component of flank contact force was correlated with the surface roughness of workpiece and the flank wear of tool in milling UD-CFRP composites. It was found that surface quality as well as flank wear has a co-incident varying trend with the flank contact force, as confirmed by the observations of the machined surfaces and tool wear at different fiber orientations. So, it can be known that low flank contact force be required to reduce surface damage and flank wear.     

Fundamental modeling for oblique cutting by thermo-elastic-plastic FEM

In this paper, the finite deformation theory and updated Lagrangian formulation were used to describe the oblique cutting process. Either the tool geometrical location condition or the strain energy density constant was combined with the twin node processing method to act as the chip separation criterion. An equation of three-dimensional tool face geometrical limitation was first established to inspect and correct the relation between the chip node and the tool face. And, a three-dimensional finite-difference heat transfer equation was derived. Based on this approach, tool advancement was achieved in displacement increment step by step from the initial tool contact with the workpiece till the formation of steady cutting force. In this case, a large deformation thermo-elastic–plastic finite element model for oblique cutting was established. The mild steel was used as the workpiece, the tool was P20 and the cutting speed was 274.8 mm/s in this article. The chip deformation process and temperature effect on the strain energy density, chip flow angle, cutting force and specific cutting energy were studied first. Finally, the integrity on machined workpiece surface was explored from the variation of residual stresses and temperature distribution on it after cutting. During the chip deformation process, the chip flow angle obtained by this simulation result was approximately equal to the tool inclination angle, which confirmed with the geometrical requirement of Stabler’s criterion. Besides, the simulated specific cutting energy was compared with the experimental specific cutting energy value, the result of which was within acceptable range. It is obvious from the above findings that the model presented in this paper is consistent with the geometrical and mechanical requirements, which verifies the proposed model is acceptable.     

Slip-line solution for orthogonal cutting with a chip breaker and flank wear

A slip-line field model for orthogonal cutting with chip breaker and flank wear has been developed. For a worn tool, this slip-line field includes a primary deformation zone with finite thickness; two secondary shear zones, one along the rake face and the other along the flank face; a predeformation zone; a curled chip; and a flank force system. It is shown that the cutting geometry is completely determined by specifying the rake angle, tool-chip interface friction and the chip breaker constraint. The chip radius of curvature, chip thickness, and the stresses and velocities within the plastic region are readily computed. Grid deformation patterns, calculated with the velocity field determined, demonstrate that the predicted effects of changes in frictional conditions at the tool-chip interface and of the rake angle on chip formation are in accord with experimental observations. The calculated normal stress distribution at the tool-chip interface is in general agreement with previously reported experimental measurements. The model proposed predicts a linear relationship between flank wear and cutting force components. The results also show that non-zero strains occur at and below the machined surface when machining with a worn tool. Severity and depth of deformation below the machined surface increases with increasing flank wear. Forces acting on the chip breaker surface are found to be small and suggest that chip control for automated machining may be feasible with other means.     

Tool wear and its effect on surface roughness in diamond cutting of glass soda-lime

For the technology of diamond cutting of optical glass, the high tool wear rate is a main reason for hindering the practical application of this technology. Many researches on diamond tool wear in glass cutting rest on wear phenomenon describing simply without analyzing the genesis of wear phenomenon and interpreting the formation process of tool wear in mechanics. For in depth understanding of the tool wear and its effect on surface roughness in diamond cutting of glass, experiments of diamond turning with cutting distance increasing gradually are carried out on soda-lime glass. The wear morphology of rake face and flank face, the corresponding surface features of workpiece and the surface roughness, and the material compositions of flank wear area are detected. Experimental results indicate that the flank wear is predominant in diamond cutting glass and the flank wear land is characterized by micro-grooves, some smooth crater on the rake face is also seen. The surface roughness begins to increase rapidly, when the cutting mode changes from ductile to brittle for the aggravation of tool wear with the cutting distance over 150 m. The main mechanisms of inducing tool wear in diamond cutting of glass are diffusion, mechanical friction, thermo-chemical action and abrasive wear. The proposed research makes analysis and research from wear mechanism on the tool wear and its effect on surface roughness in diamond cutting of glass, and provides theoretical basis for minimizing the tool wear in diamond cutting brittle materials, such as optical glass.     

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.

The monitoring of flank wear on the CBN tool in the hard turning process

In precision hard turning, tool flank wear is one of the major factors contributing to the geometric error and thermal damage in a machined workpiece. Tool wear not only directly reduces the part geometry accuracy but also increases the cutting forces drastically. The change in cutting forces causes instability in the tool motion, and in turn, more inaccuracy. There are demands for reliably monitoring the progress of tool wear during a machining process to provide information for both correction of geometric errors and to guarantee the surface integrity of the workpiece. A new method for tool wear monitoring in precision hard turning is presented in this paper. The flank wear of a CBN tool is monitored by feature parameters extracted from the measured passive force, by the use of a force dynamometer. The feature parameters include the passive force level, the frequency energy and the accumulated cutting time. An ANN model was used to integrate these feature parameters in order to obtain more reliable and robust flank wear monitoring. Finally, the results from validation tests indicate that the developed monitoring system is robust and consistent for tool wear monitoring in precision hard turning.

Residual stress fluctuates periodically via the workpiece rotation phase during low frequency vibration cutting

The turning process is a standard machining process employed in diverse sectors. However, it produces long continuous chips that can affect the efficiency of the process, accelerate the tooling's wear, or damage the machined surface. As a solution, low frequency vibration cutting synchronizing with the spindle rotation has recently been developed as a new machining method in turning operation. It applies vibrations in the tool feed direction and can synchronously control the applied vibrations and the spindle rotation. It can also effectively divide the long continuous chips generated by the turning process and has the potential to reduce thermo-mechanical load on the tool by periodically enabling the tool to leave the workpiece due to the vibrations. Low frequency vibration cutting, the cutting characteristics of which differ from those of conventional turning, induces residual stresses in the machined surface; however, the properties of these stresses have not yet been studied. Residual stress can have both beneficial and negative effects on the fatigue life of products. While compressive residual stress increases the fatigue life of the product, tensile residual stress facilitates the growth of fine cracks on the product's surface and reduces fatigue life. Therefore, it is important to understand the characteristics of the residual stress developed on a machined surface. In this study, an annealed 0.45% C steel bar was machined via straight turning of the vibration cutting process synchronizing with the spindle rotation, and the residual stress on the finished surface was measured. Particular focus was placed on analyzing the effects of the spindle phase on the characteristics of the residual stress inside the machined surface, especially the effects of the number of vibrations per spindle rotation, D, which is a unique parameter defining the vibration condition. Our results revealed that the residual stress varied depending on the position of the finished surface owing to the change in feed with the spindle phase during the process. Furthermore, D was observed to heavily influence the distribution of the residual stress on the finished surface. By means of adjusting its value, the residual stress value could either fluctuate periodically according to the phase of the workpiece or not fluctuate.     

Development of a cutting tool condition monitoring system for high speed turning operation by vibration and strain analysis

Cutting tool wear is a critical phenomenon which influences the quality of the machined part. In this paper, an attempt has been made to create artificial flank wear using the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process to emulate the actual or real flank wear. The tests were conducted using coated carbide inserts, with and without wear on EN-8 steel, and the acquired data were used to develop artificial neural networks model. Empirical models have been developed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). In order to analyze the response of the system, experiments were carried out for various cutting speeds, depths of cut and feed rates. To increase the confidence limit and reliability of the experimental data, full factorial experimental design (135 experiments) has been carried out. Vibration and strain data during the cutting process are recorded using two accelerometers and one strain gauge bridge. Power spectral analysis was carried out to test the level of significance through regression analysis. Experimental results were analyzed with respect to various depths of cut, feed rates and cutting speeds.

Improved analytical model for residual stress prediction in orthogonal cutting

The analytical model of residual stress in orthogonal cutting proposed by Jiann is an important tool for residual stress prediction in orthogonal cutting. In application of the model, a problem of low precision of the surface residual stress prediction is found. By theoretical analysis, several shortages of Jiann’s model are picked out, including: inappropriate boundary conditions, unreasonable calculation method of thermal stress, ignorance of stress constraint and cyclic loading algorithm. These shortages may directly lead to the low precision of the surface residual stress prediction. To eliminate these shortages and make the prediction more accurate, an improved model is proposed. In this model, a new contact boundary condition between tool and workpiece is used to make it in accord with the real cutting process; an improved calculation method of thermal stress is adopted; a stress constraint is added according to the volume-constancy of plastic deformation; and the accumulative effect of the stresses during cyclic loading is considered. At last, an experiment for measuring residual stress in cutting AISI 1045 steel is conducted. Also, Jiann’s model and the improved model are simulated under the same conditions with cutting experiment. The comparisons show that the surface residual stresses predicted by the improved model is closer to the experimental results than the results predicted by Jiann’s model.

Visualization of fluctuations in internal stress distribution of workpiece during ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting

The aim of this study is to construct visualization system of stress distribution under ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting condition in order to investigate the cutting phenomenon. The vibrating cutting edge is considered to be cause of dynamic change of cutting force at ultrasonic frequency. However, many researchers have explained the effect of ultrasonic vibration-assisted cutting by evaluating the time-averaged cutting force, because it is difficult to measure the dynamic cutting force by using dynamometers. In this study, the instantaneous stress distribution on workpiece was visualized by photoelastic method in combination of pulse laser emission synchronized with vibration of cutting edge. Orthogonal cutting test was carried out at low cutting speed relative to vibration speed of insert. A constructed photographic system divided the ultrasonic vibration period of 36.2 μs into 360 points and took one photograph frame at each point. By counting the number of criteria pixels which images the cutting stress, the intermittent cutting condition was evaluated. It was experimentally confirmed that the stress distribution under vibration-assisted condition showed the periodical change synchronized with insert vibration. Because these results are compatible with well-known vibration cutting theories, the imaging system is able to show the periodic change of stress distribution in ultrasonic frequency band. The intermittent cutting condition was affected not only feed speed but also depth of cut. The theory of relative motion between tool and workpiece is insufficient to explain these results. Therefore, remnants formed due to elastic deformation of the workpiece were examined. The vibration cutting dramatically reduced the elastic deformation and the vibration amplitude had effect on the amount of remnant thickness.

The effect of cutting parameters and cutting tools on machining performance of carbon graphite material

Abstract

The present study focuses on the effects of cutting speed, feed rate and cutting tool material on the machining performance of carbon graphite material. Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) cutting tools are used in machining experiments and its performance is compared with the tungsten carbide (WC) and Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) tools. Machining performance criteria such as flank and nose wear and resulting surface topography and roughness of machined parts were studied. This study illustrates that feed rate and cutting tool material play a dominant role in the progressive wear of the cutting tool. The highest feed rate and cutting speed profoundly reduce the tool wear progression. The surface roughness and topography of specimens are remarkably influenced from the tool wear. Major differences are found in the wear mechanisms of PCD and WC and CBN cutting tools.
