Abstract: A three dimensional fully thermal-mechanical coupled finite element model had been presented to simulate and analyze the cutting temperature for high speed milling of TiAl6V4 titanium alloy. The temperature distribution induced in the tool and the workpiece was predicted. The effects of the milling speed and radial depth of cut on the maximum cutting temperature in the tool was investigated. The results show that only a rising of temperature in the lamella of the machined surface is influenced by the milling heat. The maximum temperature in the tool increases with increasing radial depth of cut and milling speed which value is 310°C at a speed of 60 m/min and increases to 740°C at 400m/min. The maximum temperature is only effective on a concentrated area at the cutting edge and the location of the maximum temperature moves away from the tool tip for higher radial depths of milling. The predicted temperature distribution during the cutting process is consistent with the experimental results given in the literature. The results obtained from this study provide a fundamental understanding the process mechanics of HSM of titanium alloys.

Abstract: The Composites are difficult machining materials which widely used in aerospace industry due to their excellent mechanical properties. Tool wear and delamination are considered the major concern in manufacture the parts and assembly. The orthogonal experiment method was used to investigate the milling force of carbon fibred composite with diamond mill tool. The experiments were carried out under air cooling cutting conditions. The experimental results indicated that the feed rate was the most significant fact which affect the average peak value of the milling force. the average milling force decreased with the cutting speed increased and increased with the feed rate and width of cut increased.

Abstract: In order to depress cutter vibration caused by high hardness and periodic change of cutting force in high speed milling complex surface, investigated the modal characteristics of ball-end milling cutter through the modal analysis and transient analysis. Using the models of dynamic cutting force and cutting vibration, acquired dynamics characteristics of high speed ball-end milling cutter by the spectrum analysis of dynamic cutting force, simulation analysis of cutting vibration and experiment of high speed milling hardened steel. Results indicate that high speed ball-end milling energy concentrates in few special frequencies, the rotational speed and the numbers of cutter teeth determine the fundamental frequency. High speed ball-end milling cutter easily makes radial bending vibration by the lower modal characteristics, the overhang and inclination angle of cutter affect its dynamics characteristics significantly, and the modal parameters and vibration model of cutter acquired by step response method have higher credibility.

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental study in high speed milling of SiCp/Al composites. Machining tests were carried out on a high speed milling machine by using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) diamond coated tools. The surface micro-topography was tested by the OLS3000 Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope. The Gaussian filtering method and the least square fitting method were used to treat the measured results. Two methods are compared according to the effect on keeping important original surface’s character. The results showed that the least square fitting method is suitable due to its good accordance to the original surface’s character.

Abstract: In this paper, on the aim of control the fluctuation of cutting force, five kind of commonly used tool paths which were used to milling curved surface were selected to study the optical cutting tool path of high speed milling al-alloy, the results showed that in order to make the fluctuation of cutting force smallest, the tool path which had the more even line spacing along the Machining surface should be chosen according to the characteristic of the Machining surface. In order to minimize the cutting force, the direction with the biggest surface curvature should be chosen, and the direction with the smallest change rate of the surface curvature should be chosen in order to minimize the fluctuations of cutting force.
