Under most processing conditions, the milling force is expected to be stable and not to fluctuate, in order to improve the processing quality. This study focuses on analyzing the force fluctuation characteristics under conditions of different processing and cutter parameters. An original model is proposed to predict the force fluctuation during the milling process of a helical-edge cutter. At the same time, three force fluctuation characteristics related to the axial cutting depth and cutter parameters are determined: uniformity, periodicity and symmetry. The corresponding mathematical derivation and proof method are given for the first time through a force transformation of projecting the superposition chip thickness on a virtual cutting edge. On this basis, a fast estimation method and an accurate simulation method for force fluctuation prediction are established to quantify the intensity of force fluctuations under different parameters. Both two prediction methods and the experimental cutting tests validate the proposed theory effectively. The result shows a high potential of the proposed theory for studying the force behavior under different milling parameters or cutter parameters and at least 75% of the test workload can be reduced.

In the design phase of the milling process, there is a great need for the prediction of the cutting force, the required torque and power of the spindle. These informations could be used to optimize the tool path and improve the material removal rate. In this work, we present our dexel based simulation software, its modules, calculations steps and the simulation method. Different force models were analysed to describe the specific force as a function of the local chip thickness. The models were fitted to the measured force data. Then the selected force model was validated in case of a complex tool path.

The milling process is always required to achieve dimensional tolerance for the near-net-shape carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) parts. However, delamination and cracking are inevitably induced in milling CFRP due to the excessive milling forces. The milling forces should be thereby well controlled to reduce damages of CFRP parts. Developing a theoretical milling force model is an effective approach to understand the mechanism of milling force generation. Recent studies have established the predictive models; however, the interlaminar effect impacting the material removal process is not considered during milling multidirectional CFRP laminate, limiting the predictive model accuracy. In this work, a model of dynamic milling force for multidirectional CFRP laminate was developed by considering the interlaminar effect for the first time. The specific cutting energy predicted by the artificial neural network methodology was employed to calculate the milling forces during milling a single CFRP layer. Meantime, the support of the layer was enhanced due to the interlaminar effect, and the correction coefficients for each type of support were proposed to reflect the role of this effect. Then, the overall milling forces for multidirectional CFRP laminate can be obtained via the superposition principle, which agreed well with the experimentally measured results.

As cutter radial runout and deformation play a main role in processing precision, surface roughness and cutter wear during hard milling, the effects of the former two factors on actual cutting radius and cutting chip thickness are analyzed during milling process briefly in this paper. The vector direction of radius runout and deformation are assumed to be the same. Then, the milling force of cutting cutter whirling a circle is simulated under the three-dimensional feed motion, and the simulation result agrees well with the experimental result.

This milling force model is verified through simulation and analysis of milling forces.

The instantaneous uncut chip thickness is an important parameter in the study of milling force model. By analyzing the real tooth trajectory in milling process, accurate instantaneous uncut chip thickness can be obtained to solve the complex transcendental equation. Traditional chip thickness models always simplify the tooth trajectory to get approximate solution. A new instantaneous uncut chip thickness model is proposed in this paper. Based on real tooth trajectory of general end milling cutter, a Taylor's series is used to approximate the involved infinitesimal variable in the transcendental equation, which results in an explicit expression for practical application of the uncut chip thickness with higher accuracy compared to the traditional model.

A parameter equation based on cutting edge of ball-end mill is set up by analyzing the parameters of ball-end mill influence the milling force in virtual NC milling process. The relationship among elemental cutting force, instantaneous radial chip thickness and cutting edge length is analyzed, and the dynamic milling force of ball-end mill at arbitrary feed direction is established. The milling force parameter model by quadratic regression equation in different cutting conditions is built. Through experiments in NC machining center and using orthogonal combination and principal components analysis, the regression coefficients are calculated. The correctness of milling force model is testified by experiments. All these can provide theoretical basis for physics modeling and simulation of virtual numerical control milling.

AbstractWe present detailed experimental results with cryogenic Yb:YLF gain media in rod-geometry. We have comparatively investigated continuous-wave (cw) lasing and regenerative amplification performance under different experimental conditions. In the cw lasing experiments effect of crystal doping, cw laser cavity geometry and pump wavelength on lasing performance were explored. Regenerative amplification behavior was analyzed and the role of depolarization losses on performance was investigated. A recently developed temperature estimation method was also employed for the first time in estimating average crystal temperature under lasing conditions. It is shown that the thermal lens induced by transverse temperature gradients is the main limiting factor and strategies for future improvements are discussed. To the best of our knowledge, the achieved results in this study (375 W in cw, and 90 W in regenerative amplification) are the highest average powers ever obtained from this system via employing the broadband E//a axis.

Improving the cutting efficiency is the major factor for improving the processing of nickel-based alloys. The novelty of this research is the calibrated SiAlON ceramic tool dry milling nickel-based alloy process. Firstly, the nickel-based alloy dry milling process was analyzed through the finite element method, and the required milling force and temperature were deduced. Then, several dry milling experiments were conducted with the milling temperature, and the milling force was monitored. The change in cutting speeds was from 400 m/min to 700 m/min. Experimental results verified the reduction of the dry milling force hypothesized by the simulation. The experiment also indicated that with a cut depth of 0.3 mm, cut width of 6 mm, and feed per tooth of 0.03 mm/z, when milling speed exceeded 527.52 m/min, the milling force began to decrease, and the milling temperature exceeded the nickel-based alloy softening temperature. This indicated that easy cutting could be realized under high-speed dry milling conditions. The interpolation curve about average temperature and average milling forces showed similarity to the tensile strength reduction with the rise of temperature.
