Cutting Force Changes during One Cut in End Milling with a Throw-Away Insert - Difference between Up-Cut and Down-Cut -

摘要

In this study, the transition of cutting force in the tangential and radial direction during one cut was investigated in milling of AISI-1045, AISI-304, and Ti-6Al-4V with a TiN coated carbide throw-away insert. In the case of AISI-1045 and Ti-6Al-4V, there was not obvious difference in tangential forces between up-cut and down-cut. However, up-cut showed larger radial force than down-cut in any material. In down-cut, tangential force showed almost the same regardless of radial depth of cut. AISI-304 and Ti-6Al-4V caused larger radial force with the increase of radial depth of cut at the same uncut chip thickness.
