Numerical Investigations on the Mechanical Properties of Dry End Milling

Abstract

The stress and deformation of end mill in dry milling process have been simulated by using the FEM (Finite Element Method). Meanwhile, the influence of normal-rake-angle variation to strength and deformation of end mill has been analyzed by developing stress nephogram. The obtained results provide crucial foundation for study on optimal structural design, cutting property and tool life of end mill.

Effect of High Speed Dry End Milling on Surface Roughness and Cutting Forces of Ti-6Al-4V ELI

“…Therefore, controlling the machining process parameters is essential to produce acceptable quality of the machined surface. Recently, dry machining is progressively becoming more popular as it contributes to cleaner environment and reduces manufacturing cost [4,5]. However, the absence of cutting fluids results in high mechanical and thermal loads at the cutting tool-workpiece interface.…”
