AN ANALYTICAL MODEL OF OBLIQUE CUTTING WITH APPLICATION TO END MILLING

摘要

A new analytical cutting force model is presented for oblique cutting. Orthogonal cutting theory based on unequal division shear zone is extended to oblique cutting using equivalent plane approach. The equivalent plane angle is defined to determine the orientation of the equivalent plane. The governing equations of chip flow through the primary shear zone are established by introducing a piecewise power law distribution assumption of shear strain rate. The flow stress is calculated from Johnson-cook material constitutive equation. The predictions were compared with test data from the available literature and showed good correlation. The proposed model of oblique cutting was applied to predict the cutting forces in end milling. The helical flutes are decomposed into a set of differential oblique cutting edges. To every engaged tooth element, the differential cutting forces are obtained from oblique cutting process. Experiments on machining AISI 1045 steel under different cutting conditions were conducted to validate the proposed model. It shows that the predicted cutting forces agree with the measurements both in trends and values.View full textDownload full textKeywordsanalytical model, cutting force, end milling, flow stress, oblique cuttingRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10910344.2011.620920
