Abstract: Work hardening is an important index for the evaluation of the machined surface quality in high-speed milling. The morphology of work hardening can be visually observed by the metallographic pictures of high-speed milling gained from the scanning electron microscope which includes the lattice distortion and cracks etc. Forming mechanism of lattice distortion and micro crack of micro morphology under the workpiece surface is analyzed according to the dislocation theory; meanwhile, the effects on surface quality of the microstructure of the work hardening layer are discussed, which have important guiding significances on improving the surface quality and prolonging the service life of the parts.

Abstract: Work hardening reserches in metal cutting has an important significance in improving surface quality of the workpiece and the service performance of parts. The paper introduces current researches of the work hardening in metal cutting process, analyses the forming mechanism and influencing factors of the work hardening and discusses the effects of the work hardening on workpiece service performance. At last, the new trends of work hardening researches in metal cutting process are conclusively predicted.

Abstract: A mechanical model of surface roughness is established based on the Kragelskii-Drujanov theory of friction and wear and Hertz elastic contact theory. Effect of material flow stress on remnant height of the machined surface was investigated. Test showed that the machined surface morphology provides the phenomena of the side flow in the vertical direction of ploughing in high-speed machining. The remnant height values on the machined surface of the high-speed machining are obtained by DEFORM-3D simulation. Based on the results it can be concluded that the surface roughness values of the workpiece increase with material flow stress.

Abstract: Surface roughness is an important parameter to evaluate the quality of high-speed machining (HSM). This paper establishes a mechanical model based on the molecular-mechanical theory of friction to study factors that influence the surface roughness in HSM. The relationship between flow stress and the remnant height on the machined surface is obtained. The HSM process of AISI-1045 steel is simulated by using finite element method (FEM) based on DEFORM-2D and the flow stress is obtained. The surface roughness of workpiece machined by HSM is calculated based on the value of flow stress and the mechanical model. The result shows that the surface roughness of workpiece in HSM is acceptable, and the mechanical model supplies a method to study the surface roughness in HSM.

Abstract: The gear honing process is a widely used process for gear finishing after heat-treated. The honing ring is profiled by diamond dressing gear, which have the profile of the workpiece to be machined and bonded a single layer of diamond particles. The paper has inroduced the traditional manufacturing methods of diamond dressing gears, positive electroplating and negative electroplating. Then put forward a new manufacturing method, Electroless nickel coating. Composition and condition of electroless composite plating solution, process steps are given. Several diamond dressing gears are made by this new method. Honing experiment testified that it is an applied method and has many advantages.

Abstract: The gear honing process is a widely used process for gear finishing after heat-treated, and may be divided into the variants “internal-tooth honing” and “external-tooth honing”. External- tooth honing is seldom used in gear finishing due to lower overlapping ratio and relatively low precision. But its process cost is much lower than internal-tooth honing and gear grinding. The paper puts forward a new method to improve the precision of external-tooth honing, i.e. honing ring is profiled by diamond dressing gears, which have the profile of the workpiece to be machined. Meshing and Tooth contact analysis of honing ring profiling has been considered. Meshing equation of profiling process and equation of honing ring tooth flank after profiling are obtained. Experiment testified that it is an applied method and has many advantages.

Abstract: The gear plunge shaving process is a widely used process for soft finishing of gears in the gear manufacturing industry. But it is difficult and expensive to profile plunge shaving cutter, because the cutter must be ground by a cone grinding wheel on a special grinder. A new method, profiling gear shaving cutter on the shaving machine, i.e. a CBN dressing gear which has the same parameters with the machined gear is clamped in place of the workpiece on the shaving machine and profiling the cutter in shaving process, is put forward. Meshing and Tooth contact analysis of shaving cutter profiling has been considered. Meshing equation of profiling process and equation of shaving cutter gear blank after profiling are obtained. Experiment testified that it is an applied method and has many advantages.

Abstract: Predictive models are presented for the surface roughness in high-speed end milling of 0.45%C steel and P20 die-mould steel based on statistical test and multiple-regression analysis. The data for establishing model is derived from experiments conducted on a high-speed machining centre by factorial design of experiments. The significances of the regression equation and regression coefficients are tested in this paper. The effects of milling parameters on surface roughness are investigated by analyzing the experimental curves.

Abstract: This paper focuses on developing an empirical model for the prediction of milling forces in high-speed end milling of P20 die-mold steel. The spindle speed, feed rate, axial and radial depth of cut are considered as the affecting factors. The data for establishing the model are derived from high-speed end milling experiments conducted on a 5 axis machining center according to the principles of DOE (design of experiments) method. The influences of milling parameters on milling forces are investigated by analyzing the experimental curves. Consequently, multiple-regression analysis is applied in developing the empirical model. Furthermore, the significances of the regression equation and regression coefficients are statistically tested in this paper to validate the model.

Abstract: An orthogonal cutting model was presented to simulate high-speed machining (HSM) process based on metal cutting theory and finite element method (FEM). The residual stresses in the machined surface layer were obtained with various cutting speeds using finite element simulation. The variations of residual stresses in the cutting direction and beneath the workpiece surface were studied. It is shown that the thermal load produced at higher cutting speed is the primary factor affecting the residual stress in the machined surface layer.
