A Unified Cutting Force Model for Flat End Mills Based on Cutter Geometry and Material Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

A unified oblique cutting force model for flat end mills is developed. In this model, the cutting force is bridged among cutter geometry, material properties and cutting parameters. The cutter angles, material parameters and cutting parameters are the only inputs so that the model is applicable for different cutter-workpiece combinations and cutting parameters. The parameters in the model are solved by the geometric relations, applying Maximum Shear Stress Principle and Stabler’s chip flow rule. The material parameters are identified in a new method with orthogonal milling tests. The simulation results of the proposed model are in good agreement with experiments.
