Safety and Reliability of High-Speed Milling Cutter's Evaluation and Control Methods

Abstract

The existing safety evaluation of high-speed milling cutter mainly based on ISO15641 standards, which by idling experiments, then analysis and determine centrifugal force conditions what cause permanent deformation and fracture destructive of cutter, this method cannot be forecast and control the dynamic evolution of the milling cutter's safety and reliability, when cutting load changed suddenly.This paper using the high speed milling cutter's failure criteria and safety margin model of cutting hardened steel, analysed and evaluated coupled thermal field distribution caused by hardened steel surface feature that changed frequently and cutter's impact, fatigue, strength, stiffness, safety margin which cuased by mutated shock load of cutter, then forecast safety and reliability of high-speed milling cutter, and proposed the control method of safety and reliability that could milled hardened steel in high speed.
