Abstract:Self-excited vibrations of the face milling process can result in instability, poor surface finish and machine tool failure. In order to avoid chatter vibrations, this article develops an algorithm for predicting the stability lobes for face milling processes. It considers the factors including radial instantaneous chip thickness, entry and exit angles and the dynamic interaction between cutting tool and workpiece which is often neglected by many researchers. An electronic impact hammer is used to identify the… Show more
Fast and accurate cutting force prediction is still one of the most complex problems and challenges in the machining research community. In this study, a modified finite element model is presented to predict cutting force and cutting length in turning operations of AISI 1018. Unlike the existing research, in which the mean friction coefficient μ was taken, a variable friction coefficient μ involving the sliding velocity between chip and tool is presented in this article. The sticking–sliding friction model is adopted, and the maximum limiting stress in sticking region is calculated by considering the thermal softening and normal stress distribution. Experiments have been performed for machining AISI 1018 using tungsten carbide tool, and simulation results have been compared to experiments. The simulation results of the modified finite element model have shown better outputs in predicting cutting force, tangential force, and tool–chip contact length on the rake face. The results of this article not only are meaningful to optimize tool design and cutting parameters but also can provide a clear understanding of contact behavior between tool rake face and chip.

Section: Dynamic Model Of Peripheral Millingand the Numerical Solutionmentioning
Based on the Z-map model of a workpiece and the dynamic cutting forces model of peripheral milling in which the regenerative effect of tool radial runout and axial drift are considered, a model for the prediction of surface topography in peripheral milling operations is presented. According to the stability lobe diagram obtained by the zero-order analytical method, the relationship between spindle speed and surface topography, the tool radial runout, and the axial drift following the chatter are studied. The results show that a stable cutting status but a poor surface finish is obtained at the spindle speeds at which the dominant frequency of the milling system is integral multiples of the selected machining frequency, and a stable cutting status with a good surface finish can be obtained near and on the left side of the resonant spindle speeds determined by the predicted stability lobe diagram. The motion equations of any tooth end mill for peripheral milling are established, and these equations are based on the transformation matrix and the vector operation principle of motion-homogeneous coordinates. In addition, the simulation algorithm and the system of surface topography generated in peripheral milling are given based on the Z-map model. Cutting tests are carried out, and good agreement between the measured surface topographies and the topographies predicted by the model in this study is found in terms of their shape, magnitude, feed mark, profile height of cross-section, and surface roughness. The simulation results show that the milling surface roughness increases with the increase in feed per tooth, which further shows that this simulation system has high credibility. Thus, the simulation and experimental results can provide some practical instructions for the actual peripheral milling in determining the optimal machining conditions.

Together with machining chatter, surface location error induced by forced vibration may also inhibit productivity and affect workpiece surface quality in milling process. Addressing these issues needs the combined consideration of stability lobes diagram and surface location error predictions. However, mode coupling and process damping are seldom taken into consideration. In this article, an extended dynamic milling model including mode coupling and process damping is first built based on classical 2-degree-of-freedom dynamic model with regeneration. Then, a second-order semi-discretization method is proposed to simultaneously predict the stability lobes diagram and surface location error by solving this extended dynamic model. The rate of convergence of the proposed method is also investigated. Finally, a series of experiments are conducted to verify the veracity of the extended dynamic model. The modal parameters including direct and cross terms are identified by impact experiments. Via experimental verification, the experimental results show a good correlation with the predicted stability lobes diagram and surface location error based on the extended dynamic model. Also, the effects of mode coupling and process damping are revealed. Mode coupling increases the whole stability region; however, process damping plays a vital role in stability improvement mainly at low spindle speeds.
