Modeling and Simulation of Cutting Forces in Side Milling

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to acquire high machining quality and minimum machining time, cutting forces are usually modeled to understand the milling process, simulate or predict cutting forces, and optimize the machining parameters. In this paper, side milling tests were conducted on superalloy Inconel 718 with a solid carbide end mill, and the cutting forces vs. cutting time were measured. The average cutting forces were extracted from the measured instantaneous cutting forces under different feed rates of experiments, and the components of the shear forces and edge forces were determined by using the linear regression of the experimental data. The cutting force coefficients, including shear force coefficients and edge force coefficients, were identified. In addition, the algorithms of the mathematical model were implemented in Matlab. The predicted cutting forces were in good agreement with the experimentally measured forces, and the validation of the cutting force model was demonstrated.
