A new milling system is proposed for ductile materials and materials that become stronger on deformation, as well as new mill designs, such that the mill tooth’s cutting edge is in continuous contact...

This article presents ANSYS WB-based mathematical modelling of the thermofrictional milling process, which allowed studying the dynamics of thermal and physical processes occurring during the processing. The technique used also allows determination of the optimal cutting conditions of thermofrictional milling for processing various materials, in particular steel 40CN2MA, 30CGSA, 45, 3sp. In our study, from among a number of existing models of cutting fracture, we chose the criterion first proposed by prof. V. L. Kolmogorov. In order to increase the calculations performance, a mathematical model was proposed, that used only two objects: a parallelepiped-shaped workpiece and a cutting insert in the form of a pentagonal prism. In addition, the work takes into account the friction coefficient between a cutting insert and a workpiece taken equal to 0.4 mm. To determine the temperature in the subcontact layer of the workpiece, we introduced the coordinates of nine characteristic points with the same interval in the local coordinate system. As a result, the temperature values were obtained for different materials at the studied points during the cutter speed change. The research results showed the possibility of controlling thermal processes during processing by choosing the optimum cutting modes.

When producing large-dimensional parts of heavy machines, the largest specific weight in the general labour input is made by the operations, connected with machining the main holes, i. e. holes of large diameter. To the holes of large diameter of large-dimensional parts, there are specified high requirements in the aspect of accuracy of the size, shape and arrangement. Machining of holes still remains one of the topical problems of present day mechanical engineering, in particular machine-building enterprises of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Solving the problem of ensuring accuracy and quality of machining large holes of large-dimensional parts requires the development of new resource-saving technologies of machining. In this work there are presented the results of studying a resource-saving method of rotation-friction boring of large diameter holes. There has been achieved good results in providing the quality indicators, when machining by the proposed method of rotation-friction boring with the use of the tool (a disk cutter) made of steel 90CrSi5 in comparison with well-known boring of holes. The diagram of chip formation of cutting and the results of studying the zone of chip formation by the metallographic method is also presented.
