Influence of Cutting Dynamic on the Selection of the Technological Regimes to Ensure Minimal Wear of Cutting Tools

Abstract

Introduction. The intensity of tool wear, as an increment of wear to the cutting path, characterizes one of the important processing indicators. It is used in the development of algorithms for controlling the cutting process, including the calculation of trajectories in CNC machines. As the cutting speed increases, there is a value at which the wear rate is minimal. It corresponds to the optimal value of heat production in the cutting zone, that is, the power of irreversible transformations of the energy supplied to cutting. Heat production depends on the dynamic system parameters that change along the tool path. In this regard, at the initial stage and during processing, it is necessary to coordinate the control with the properties of the dynamic cutting system. Subject. The paper offers a study and analysis of the relationship between the tool wear rate and the dynamic properties of the cutting process, and on this basis, the definition of technological modes in which the wear rate is minimal. The purpose of this work is to study the dependence of the tool wear rate on the initial and changing dynamic properties of processing along the path, and to create on this basis methods for matching technological modes with the current cutting dynamics to reduce the wear rate. Method and methodology of the work. In this paper, experimental and analytical methods are used to study the evolutionary changes in the properties of the system in relation to the development of tool wear. The developed mathematical models of the cutting system are presented, which differ from the known ones in that the power of irreversible energy transformations of the mechanical system in the interface of the back faces of the tool with the workpiece is additionally modeled. The dependence of the wear rate on the power of irreversible transformations, that is, on a given time interval in the increment of wear, is given. This takes into account the dependence of wear on the dynamic properties of the cutting system, including during its evolution. Results and discussions. It is shown that the properties of evolution are sensitive to small variations in the parameters of the dynamical system. These variations make significant changes in the wear rate. The paper reveals the dependence of wear on the properties of a dynamic system, that is, on its parameters, technological modes, beats, and other perturbations. Conclusions. The disclosure of the dependence of wear resistance on the dynamic properties of the cutting process characterizes new ideas about the factors that affect wear resistance.
