Three-Dimensional Finite Element Simulation Analysis of Cutting Force of SiCp/Al Composite Thin-Walled Parts

Abstract:

In milling process, cutting force is the main cause of machining deformation, and in machining of thin-walled parts, machining deformation is the major factor for machining error. In this paper, through finite element analysis software ABAQUS, three-dimensional simulation analysis on the machining of SiCp/Al composite thin-walled parts with a polycrystalline diamond tool have been carried out. It reveals the influence of radial depth of cut, cutting speed, and feed per tooth on cutting force. Analysis results show that: higher speed, small radial depth of cut and moderate feed per tooth can effectively reduce cutting force and inhibit deformation. In addition, a comparison is made between analysis results of milling force and high accuracy milling force prediction model, results from the two methods are similar.
