Systematic Evaluation of Influence of Process Parameters on Surface Texture in Flank Milling

Abstract:

Machined surface texture is a very critical factor since it directly affects the surface quality and part mechanical behavior. In modern manufacturing system, it is necessary to develop systematic models, which can represent a realistic picture how the machined surface is produced during milling process. In this paper, a general geometric kinematic model is presented to build kinematic relationship between the arbitrary point of the cutter flute and the arbitrary point of the machining surface. And then, a nonlinear programming problem is constructed to calculate a scallop height along a normal direction of an arbitrary point on nominal part surface, three dimension profiles can also be simulated, a case is utilized to validate the feasibility of the proposed model.
