In order to improve the machining quality and efficiency and optimize NC machining programming, based on the existing cutting force models for ball-end, a cutting force prediction model of free-form surface for ball-end was established. By analyzing the force of the system during the cutting process, we obtained the expression equation of the instantaneous undeformed chip thickness during the milling process and then determined the rule of the influence of the lead angle and the tilt angle on the instantaneous undeformed chip thickness. It was judged whether the cutter edge microelement is involved in cutting, and the algorithm flow chart is given. After that, the cutting force prediction model of free-form surface for ball-end and pseudocodes for cutting force prediction were given. MATLAB was used to simulate the prediction force model. Finally, through the comparative analysis experiment of the measured cutting force and the simulated cutting force, the experimental results are basically consistent with the theoretical prediction results, which proves that the model established in this paper can accurately predict the change of the cutting force of the ball-end cutter in the process of milling free-form surface, and the error of the cutting force prediction model established in this paper is reduced by 15% compared with the traditional cutting force prediction model.

Elastomer end-milling is attracting attention for its role in the small-lot production of elastomeric parts. In order to apply end-milling to the production of elastomeric parts, it is important that the workpiece be held stably to avoid deformation. To evaluate the stability of workholding, it is necessary to predict cutting forces in elastomer end-milling. Cutting force prediction for metal workpiece end-milling has been investigated for many years, and many process models for end-milling have been proposed. However, the applicability of these models to elastomer end-milling has not been discussed. In this paper, the characteristics of the cutting force in elastomer end-milling are evaluated experimentally. A standard cutting force model and its parameter identification method are introduced. By using this cutting force model, measured cutting forces are compared against the calculated results. The comparison makes it clear that the standard cutting force model for metal end-milling can be applied to down milling for a rough evaluation.

The article presents the changing of the working diameter (effective diameter) and its effect to the surface roughness based on milling experiments of a test part in 3D milling of free-form surfaces. The position of the surface and the step depth determine the effective diameter, in case of constant revolution of the tool, the actual cutting speed and the minimal removable chip thickness will change. The article presents the result of the application of the constant cutting speed and feed per tooth.

In Part II of this paper, a cutting force model for the micro-endmilling process is developed. This model incorporates the minimum chip thickness concept in order to predict the effects of the cutter edge radius on the cutting forces. A new chip thickness computation algorithm is developed to include the minimum chip thickness effect. A slip-line plasticity force model is used to predict the force when the chip thickness is greater than the minimum chip thickness, and an elastic deformation force model is employed when the chip thickness is less than the minimum chip thickness. Orthogonal, microstructure-level finite element simulations are used to calibrate the parameters of the force models for the primary metallurgical phases, ferrite and pearlite, of multiphase ductile iron workpieces. The model is able to predict the magnitudes of the forces for both the ferrite and pearlite workpieces as well as for the ductile iron workpieces within 20%.

Probabilistic sequential prediction of cutting forces is performed applying Bayesian inference to Kienzle force model. The model uncertainties are quantified using the Metropolis algorithm of the Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach. Prior probabilities are established and posteriors of the models parameters and force predictions are completed using the results of orthogonal turning experiments. Two types of tools with chamfer (rake) angles of 0 deg and −10 deg are tested under various cutting speed and feed per revolution values. First, Bayesian inference is applied to two force models, Merchant and Kienzle, to investigate the cutting force prediction at the low feed values for the 0 deg rake angle tool. Second, the results of the posteriors of the Kienzle model parameters are used as prior probabilities of the −10 deg rake angle tool. The simulation results of the 0 deg and −10 deg tool rake angle are compared with the experiments which are obtained under other cutting conditions for model verification. Maximum prediction errors of 7% and 9% are reported for the tangential and feed forces, respectively. This indicates a good capability of the Bayesian inference for model parameter identification and cutting force prediction considering the inherent uncertainty and minimum input experimental data.

The friction behavior in the tool-chip interface is an essential issue in aluminum matrix composite material (AMCM) turning operations. Compared with conventional cutting, the elliptical vibration (EVC) cutting AMCM has attractive advantages, such as low friction, small cutting forces, etc. However, the friction mechanism of the EVC cutting AMCM is still inadequate, especially the model for cutting forces analyzing and predicting, which hinders the application of EVC in the processing of AMCM. In this paper, a cutting force prediction model for EVC cutting SiCp/Al is established, which is based on the three-phase friction (TPF) theory. The friction components are evaluated and predicted at the tool-chip interface (TCI), tool-particle interface (TPI) and tool-matrix (TMI), respectively. In addition, the tool-chip contact length and SiC particle volume fraction were defined strictly and the coefficient of friction was predicted. Based on the Johnson-Cook constitutive model, the experiment was conducted on SiCp/Al. The cutting speed and tool-chip contact length were used as input parameters of the friction model, and the dynamic changes of cutting force and stress distribution were analyzed. The results shown that when cutting speed reaches 574 m/min, the tool-chip contact length decreases to 0.378 mm. When the cutting speed exceeds 658 m/min, the cutting force decreases to a minimum of 214.9 N and remains stable. In addition, compared with conventional cutting, the proposed prediction model can effectively reduce the cutting force.

The machining process of SiCp/Al composites is considerably difficult because of the addition of ceramic particles. As an effective machining method, ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning is used to process SiCp/Al composites, which can effectively reduce the cutting force, improve the surface quality, and reduce the tool wear. This study developed a cutting force prediction model for ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning of SiCp/Al composites, which comprehensively considers the instantaneous depth of cut and the instantaneous shear angle. This model divides the cutting force into the chip formation force considering the instantaneous depth of cut, the friction force considering the influence of SiC particles at tool-chip interface, the particle fracture force, and the ultrasonic impact force in the cutting depth direction. By comparing the predicted value of the main cutting force with the experimental values, the results present the same trend, which verifies the feasibility of the cutting force prediction model. In addition, the influence of vibration amplitude, depth of cut, and cutting speed on the main cutting force is analyzed. The systematic cutting experiments show that ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning can significantly reduce the cutting force and improve the machinability of SiCp/Al composites.
