Abstract: Plunge milling cutter withstanding greater loads in heavy milling can cause tool breakage, cutting vibration, even chatter. Firstly, geometric model of plunge milling cutter on various combinations of axial rake angle and radial rake angle are established. Secondly, with combination different axial rake angle and radial rake angle of plunge milling cutter under static load, the amount of deformation plunge milling cutter are calculated by finite element analysis. Finally, the plunge milling cutter first six natural frequencies are given in plunge milling cutter modal analysis with finite element analysis. The results show that minimum total deformation of plunge milling cutter is given with the axial rake angle 5° and radial rake angle-5 ° of the cutter and when the tool working at frequencies up to 10012HZ has caused vibration within the XY plane.

Abstract: The three-dimensional finite element modeling and experimental validation of plunge milling of stainless steel (1Cr13) are presented. The commercial software Deform 3D applied for the finite element modeling is studied the effect of feed rate per tooth (f_z) on the cutting forces and the temperature fields. The formation of chip in the finite element model is formed by local adaptive remeshing technique. The feed rate per tooth (f_z) significantly affects the cutting forces, but slightly influences the maximum temperature of the chip.

Abstract: In this paper, numerical simulation method is used to study the turning tool strength by Deform 3D in the process of rough machining high strength steel (2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V).It mainly studies the effect of the feed rate on the cutting force. At the same time, non-uniform distribution cutting force got from the simulation results is taken as the numerical simulation mechanical load of turning tool blade strength to study the influence of feed rate on the turning tool strength. The simulation results show that: with the feed increasing, the mechanical load that turning tool blade bears increases. The maximum effective stress and displacement of the turning tool blade is also increased.

The change rules of cutting temperature and force under different cutting parameters are obtained in this study. The reasonable parameter ranges of high efficiency cutting are proposed in cutting parameter optimization, in order to provide a reference for high efficiency machining of super-alloy GH4169 with PCBN tool.

Abstract: The finite element modeling and experimental validation of three-dimensional heavy cutting of high strength steel (2.25Cr-1Mo-0.25V) are presented. The commercial software Deform 3D applied for the finite element modeling is studied the effect of feed rate on the principal cutting forces and the temperature fields. The friction between the tool and the chip is assumed to follow a shear model and the local adaptive remeshing technique is used for the formation of chip. The feed rate significantly affects the cutting forces, but slightly influences the maximum temperature of the chip. The simulation results are compared with experimental data and found to be in good agreement.

The results showed that reasonable choice of cutting parameters can effective reduction of cutting force and cutting temperature, and improve the machining surface roughness. Thus realizing clean production mode.

Abstract: In this paper, the effects of cutting parameters and tool geometry parameters on the damaged layer were investigated with precision cutting of high strength alloy experiments. The mechanical and thermal effects on microstructure of sub-surfaces in precision turning high strength alloy are studied with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. A thin disturbed or plastically deformed layer is distinguished by the presence of grains that are elongated and rotated in the direction of cutting. No significant heat affected layer and phase transformation is found below the machined surface in all the tests. It also implies that mechanical deformation plays a larger role during precision turning.

Abstract: Analyzing and researching the main failure forms of the hard alloy turning tool in rough machining process of the hydrogenated cylindrical shell’s blank. Then the cutting experiments were done at the site, and the results showed that the main failure forms of the hard alloy turning tool in rough machining process of the blank were tools’ fracture. However the main reason leading into this phenomenon was the mechanical impact of variable frequency and variable load which was caused by the dynamic change of cutting dosage. Integrating the experiment results, and combining the principles of elasticity and the principles of fracture toughness of hard alloy, the measures of protecting the tools from being fractured prematurely in heavy cutting process were worked out, then the research result would provide reference database for practical production.
