Influence Characteristics of Cutting-Contact Stress on the Wear of Milling Cutter in High Speed Ball-End Milling Hardened Steel

Abstract

Adopted the cutting-contact model of high speed ball-end milling hardened steel surfaces, researched distribution characteristics of cutting-contact stress; by researching the influence of the distribution of this stress on cutter wear, clarified the influence theory of milling pattern and cutting parameters on initial wear of milling cutter. By using the method of climbing, conventional milling alternating and changing cutting parameters, verified the influence of milling pattern and cutting parameters on initial wear pattern. The result showed that, initial wear mechanism of high speed milling hardened steel is an interaction of multiple wear mechanisms under the effect of friction and alternating pressure stress, by using conventional milling can significantly reduce concave curvature radius of hardened steel, the contact stress of blade area and front, rear flank, inhibit crushing and wear rate of the milling cutter surfaces. Under this condition, by increasing rotation speed and reducing the feed per blade, will further increase the strength of this effect, and achieve the purpose of reducing the initial wear, inhibiting the wear rate and extending the cutters life.
