Abstract: | A new mechanistic model is presented for the prediction of a cutting force system in ball-end milling of sculpture surfaces. The model has the ability to calculate the workpiece/cutter intersection domain automatically for a given cutter location (CL) file, cutter and workpiece geometries. Furthermore, an analytical approach is used to determine the instantaneous chip load (with and without runout) and cutting forces. In addition to predicting the cutting forces, the model also employs a Boolean approach for a given cutter, workpiece geometries, and CL file to determine the surface topography and scallop height variations along the workpiece surface which can be visualized in 3-D. The results of model validation experiments on machining Ti-6A1-4V are also reported. Comparisons of the predicted and measured forces as well as surface topography show good agreement. |
