Structural Design of Groove and Micro-Blade of the End Mill Based on Bionics

Article Preview

Abstract:

The existing end mill is hard to balance the tool rigidity, heat dissipation and chip evacuation. In this study, the geometries of groove and micro-blade of the end mill machining titanium are optimized, through imitating the corn leaf’s tooth based on bionics. The peripheral cutting edge is composed of linear first rake, parabolic second rake and rear face. The chip-hold groove is composed of parabolic main groove and cubic curve vice groove. The cutting process of straight tooth and designed composite tooth are simulated by constructing the two-dimensional orthogonal cutting model using ABAQUS. The results show that: compared to the straight tooth, the designed composite tooth inhibits the generation of serrated chip, and the fluctuations of cutting force are smaller, the squeezing effect on the machined surface is weaker.
