Identification Method for Instantaneous Friction and Wear Energy Density Variation of High-Feed Milling Tool Flank

Abstract

Instantaneous friction and wear energy density are important indicators of the friction and wear state of the tooth flank of the milling cutter. Existing methods for identifying the friction and wear on the tooth flank of milling cutters mainly focus on the overall level of friction energy consumption and the maximum width of the accumulated wear on the teeth flanks, ignoring the unevenness and variability of the friction energy consumption and wear volume distribution of the tool flank, and the dynamic relationship between the instantaneous friction and wear on each tooth flank of the milling cutter is to be revealed. Transient cutting position of a high feed milling cutter tooth under milling vibration, and the use of the micro-element method to construct a model for solving the transient wear volume on the tool flank. A method of transient friction energy consumption on the cutter flank was proposed. The variation property of the instantaneous friction and wear energy density on the flank was exposed. The identification method of the variation property of the energy density was proposed according to different analysis results of the distribution of friction and wear energy density and verified by experiments. The outcomes indicated the maximum and mean of the energy density at different positions on the flank had a high similarity with the wear depth distribution on the flank. Using this method, the influence property of the friction and wear state and the cutting parameters under the milling vibration of the milling cutter tooth can be identified.
