Cutting Force Prediction in Drilling of Anisotropic Materials

Abstract:

The paper presents a predictive cutting force model in drilling of anisotropic materials. Three dimensional chip flow in drilling is interpreted as a piling up of the orthogonal cuttings in the planes containing the cutting velocities and the chip flow velocities. The cutting models in the chip flow are determined to calculate the cutting energy using the orthogonal cutting data. Then, the chip flow direction is determined to minimize the cutting energy. The cutting force can be predicted in the determined chip flow model. The cutting force with anisotropy in the material is modeled as the change in the shear stress on the shear plane. The shear stress changes with the rotation angle of the cutter. The cutting force prediction is verified in drilling of a titanium alloy. The anisotropic parameters are identified to minimize the model error between the measured and the predicted cutting forces. The periodical oscillation of the cutting force is also predicted by anisotropy in the shear stress.
