Abstract

To optimize milling force and machining accuracy quality in corner milling process, the changing law of milling force is revealed by Finite Element Method(FEM). Based on DEFORM software a serial of 3D FEM models for corner milling process are devloped. Tool curved trajectory is achieved by establishing accurate relationship of tool location with milling time. Adaptive remeshing technique and iterative algorithm are adopted to ensure convergence of FEM model. Component force characteristics are revealed by analyzing FEM simulation results. It indicates that the milling force in Y direction becomes negative comparing with forces in X and Z direction. Magnitude of forces in three directions decreases with increase of spindle speed, while it increases with increase of milling feedrate. The simulation results for cutting force are in good agreement with those obtained from experiment. The FEM simulation model is first successfully established for corner milling process in this study, and the results provide a guide for optimizing cutting parameters in cutting process.
