Abstract: Performance-based parametric design method for improving the face milling cutter design efficiency and ensuring the use of performance has an important significance. Three kinds of parameter design method are described in this paper, and parametric design of series of layer milling cutter is completed by modeling parametric design method with UG software. Also, modal analysis is made with FEM. Therefore the study results provide examples for optimization of tool structural and analysis of restrain vibration.

Abstract: The generation procedure of saw tooth chip when PCBN tools orthogonal cutting hard steel GCr15 is emulated by FEM software ABAQUS in this study. The model effectively overcomes serious element distortions and cell singularity in high strain domain caused by large material deformation. The effects of cutting edge preparation on cutting force, cutting temperature and residual stress are analyzed. Results of FEM show that cutting edge preparation has a great impact on cutting procedure. Under the same cutting condition, cutting force, temperature and residual stress of sharp edge, honed edge and chamfered edge increases in turn, and three kinds of cutting edge have the same change rule in residual stress. Chamfered edge has a good temperature distributing, and it is the best edge preparation in hard cutting.

Abstract: Tool wear plays an important part during cutting process, and wear loss has a close relationship with cutting condition, which affects machined surface mostly. In order to accomplish tool wear prediction in way of FEM, based on founding of cutting model under steady state, interrelated parameters needed for tool wear prediction, such as cutting temperature, contact pressure and raletive sliding velocity are extracted. By compiling Python subprogram and using Abaqus tool in hard cutting process PCBN tool wear is predicted, which provide foundation for optimizing cutting condition.
