6、the material being machined adheres to the tool cutting edge. This condition rapidly degrades the cutting ability of the tool. The built-up edge that is generated by the adhering aluminum dulls the tool so it can no long

8、carbide material requires a high cobalt concentration to achieve the fine grain structure and the material’s strength properties. Cobalt reacts with aluminum at elevated temperatures, which causes the aluminum to chemica

9、lly bond to the exposed cobalt of the tool material. Once the aluminum starts to adhere to the tool, it quickly forms a built-up edge on the tool rendering it ineffective.</p><p>　　The secret is to find the

10、right balance of cobalt to provide adequate material strength, while minimizing the exposed cobalt in the tools for aluminum adherence during the cutting process. This balance is achieved using coarse-grained carbide tha

11、t provides a tool of sufficient hardness so as to not dull quickly when machining aluminum while minimizing adherence.</p><p>　　Tool coatings</p><p>　　The second tool design element that must be

12、 considered when trying to minimize the built-up edge is the tool coating. Tool coating choices include TiN, TiAIN, AITiN, chrome nitrides, zirconium nitrides, diamond, and diamond-like coatings(DLC). With so many choice

13、s, aerospace milling shops need to know which one works best in an aluminum high-speed machining application.</p><p>　　The Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coating application process on TiN, TiCN, TiAIN, and

14、 AITiN tools makes them unsuitable for an aluminum application. The PVD coating process creates two modes for aluminum to bond to the tools――the surface roughness and the chemical reactivity between the aluminum and the

15、tool coating.</p><p>　　The PVD process results in surface that is rougher that the substrate material to which it is app</p><p>　　lied. The surface”peaks and valleys” created by this process cau

16、ses aluminum to rapidly collect in the valleys on the tool. In addition, the PVD coating is chemically reactive to the aluminum due to its metallic crystal and ionic crystal features. A TiAIN coating actually contains al

17、uminum, which easily bonds with a cutting surface of the same material. The surface roughness and chemical reactivity attributes will cause the tool and work piece to stick together, thus creating the built-up edge. <

18、/p><p>　　In testing performed by OSG Tap and Die, it was discovered that when machining aluminum at very high speeds, the performance of an uncoated coarse-grained carbide tool was superior to that of one coate

19、d with TiN, Ticn, TiAIN, or ALTiN. This testing does not mean that all tool coatings will reduce the tool performance. The diamond and DLC coatings result in a very smooth chemically inert surface. These coatings have be

21、 of coating. The DLC coatings provide the best cost for performance value, adding about 20%-25%to the total tool cost. But, this coating extends the tool life significantly as compared to an uncoated coarse-grained carbi

23、 very soft material, and the federate is usually increased which creates more and bigger chips.</p><p>　　The Makino MAG-Series aerospace milling machines, such as the MAG4, require an additional consideratio

24、n for tool geometry-tool strength. The MAG-Series machines with their powerful 80-hp spindles will snap the tools if they are not designed with sufficient core strength.</p><p>　　In general, sharp cutting ed

25、ges should always be used to avoid aluminum elongation. A sharp cutting edge will create high shearing and also high surface clearance, creating a better surface finish and finish and minimizing chatter or surface vibrat

26、ion. The issue is that it is possible to achieve a sharper cutting edge with the fine-grained carbide material than the coarse grained material. But due to aluminum adherence to the fine-grained material, it is not possi

27、ble to maintain that edge for ve</p><p>　　Coarse compromise</p><p>　　The coarse grained material appears to be the best compromise. It is a strong material that can have a reasonable cutting edg

28、e. Test results show it is able to achieve a very long tool life with good surface finish. The maintenance of the cutting edge is improved using an oil mist coolant through the tool. Misting gradually cools down the tool

29、s, eliminating thermal shock problems.</p><p>　　The helix angle is an additional tool geometry consideration. Traditionally when machining aluminum a fool with a high helix angle has been used. A high helix

30、angle lifts the chip away from the pa</p><p>　　rt more quickly, but increases the friction and heat generated as result of the cutting action. A high helix angle is typically used on a tool with a higher num

31、ber of flutes to quickly evacuate the chip from the part. </p><p>　　When machining aluminum at very high speeds the heat created by the increased friction may cause the chips to weld to the tool. In addition

32、, a cutting surface with a high helix angle will chip more rapidly that a tool with a low helix angle. A tool design that utilizes only two flutes enables both a low helix angle and sufficient chip evacuation area. This

34、，我們主要關(guān)心的是：鋁粘住加工切削邊緣的傾向；保證有好的碎片排屑形成切削邊緣；和保證工具有足夠的中心強(qiáng)度來承受切削力而不被破壞。</p><p>　　技術(shù)發(fā)展，比如：Makino MAG系列，已經(jīng)使工具商重新考慮任何工藝水平的機(jī)器技術(shù)。用正確的加工和編程思路是很重要的。</p><p>　　材料，涂料和幾何形狀是與減小我們所關(guān)注問題相關(guān)系的工具設(shè)計(jì)的三個(gè)因素。如果這些因素不能一起很好的配合

35、，成功的調(diào)整磨削是不可能的。為了成功進(jìn)行高速鋁加工，理解這三個(gè)因素是很必要的。</p><p><b>　　使組合邊緣最小化</b></p><p>　　當(dāng)加工鋁時(shí)，一個(gè)失敗的切削工具模式是，被加工的材料粘住工具切削邊緣。這種情況會很快削弱工具的切削能力。由粘著的鋁形成的組合邊緣會導(dǎo)致工具變鈍，以至不能切削材料。工具材料選擇和工具涂料選擇是被工具設(shè)計(jì)者用來減小組合邊緣

37、，使用能提供足夠硬度的紋理粗糙的碳化物來獲得平衡，來使變鈍變慢。</p><p><b>　　工具涂料</b></p><p>　　當(dāng)嘗試減小組合邊緣時(shí)，第二個(gè)應(yīng)該考慮的工具設(shè)計(jì)因素是工具涂料。工具涂料的選擇包括：TiN, TiAIN, AITiN，鉻氮化物，鋯氮化物，鉆石和鉆石般的涂料（DLC）。擁有這么多的選擇，航空航天磨削商店需要知道在鋁的高速加工應(yīng)用中哪一種工

39、表面粘合。表面粗糙度和化學(xué)反應(yīng)特性將會導(dǎo)致工具和工作片體粘在一起，以致形成組合表面。</p><p>　　OSG Tap and Die主導(dǎo)的試驗(yàn)中，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)在高速加工鋁時(shí)，一個(gè)沒有涂染過紋理粗糙的碳化物的工具的表面優(yōu)于用TiN, Ticn, TiAIN, 或者ALTiN涂染過的工具。這個(gè)試驗(yàn)不意味著所有工具涂料將減小工具的表現(xiàn)。鉆石和DLC涂料可生成一個(gè)非常光滑的化學(xué)惰性的表面。在切削鋁材料時(shí)，這些涂料很認(rèn)為是

42、;p>　　總的來說，鋒利的切削邊緣一直都可以用來避免鋁的延伸。一個(gè)鋒利的切削邊緣將形成高剪切和高表面清潔，形成一個(gè)更好的表面和使表面振動最小化。結(jié)果是用優(yōu)良的紋理碳化物材料比紋理粗糙的碳化物材料更有可能獲得一個(gè)鋒利的切削邊緣。但由于鋁能粘住紋理好的材料，長久保持這各邊緣是不太可能的。</p><p><b>　　粗略的折衷方案</b></p><p>　　紋理粗

43、糙的材料是最好的折衷。那是一種很強(qiáng)大的材料，它能擁有一個(gè)可觀的切削邊緣。試驗(yàn)結(jié)果表明；在獲得長的工具壽命的同時(shí)擁有好的表面的可以的。通過工具來進(jìn)行油霧冷卻是可以改進(jìn)切削邊緣的保持的。霧化逐漸使工具冷卻，消除溫度急增的問題。</p><p>　　螺旋角度是一個(gè)額外的工具幾何考慮因素。傳統(tǒng)上來說，當(dāng)加工鋁時(shí)，帶有高螺旋角度的工具已經(jīng)被運(yùn)用。高螺旋角度可以使微粒更快地從部分脫離，但卻增加力和熱，這是由切削運(yùn)動導(dǎo)致的。一
