Cutting process consideration in dynamic models of machine tool spindle units
(2023) Danylchenko, Yurii; Storchak, Michael; Danylchenko, Mariia; Petryshyn, Andrii
Reducing the deviation effect from the specified machining conditions on the quality of the process in real time is the desired result of the intelligent spindle control system. To implement such a control system, a dynamic interaction model of the technological machining system with the cutting process was developed. The transfer matrix method of a multibody system was used in the development of the dynamic model. The physical closure condition of the technological machining system for using the transient matrix method is implemented in the developed model by introducing into this model an additional elastic coupling of the contact between the tool and the machined workpiece. The model is presented as a dynamic model of the elastic system “spindle unit-workpiece/tool-cutting process-ool/workpiece”. To develop the dynamic model, the system decomposition was performed with an analytical description of the joint deformation conditions of the subsystems and the use of the transient matrix method to calculate the harmonic influence coefficients of these subsystems. The proposed approach is used to calculate the native vibration frequencies of the spindle with the workpiece fixed in the chuck and supported with the tool. The calculation results correspond to the experimental ones and quite accurately represent their trends for different contact interaction conditions.

Determination of chip compression ratio for the orthogonal cutting process
(2024) Storchak, Michael
The chip compression ratio is the most important characteristic of various machining processes with chip generation. This characteristic enables the determination of kinetic and other energy loads on the tool and the machined material. This provides an overall evaluation of the machining process and the possibility of its subsequent optimization. This paper presents the results of determining this cutting characteristic by experimental method, analytical calculation, and numerical modeling. For the analytical calculation of the chip compression ratio, an analytical cutting model developed based on the variational principle of the minimum potential energy was used. A finite element model of orthogonal cutting was used for the numerical simulation of the above process characteristic. Experimentally, the chip compression ratio was determined by the ratio of the chip thickness to the cutting depth (undeformed cutting thickness). The chip thickness was determined by direct measurement using chip slices obtained during the cutting process. The Johnson-Cook constitutive equation was used as the machined material model and the Coulomb model was used as the friction model. The generalized parameters’ determination of the constitutive equation was performed through a DOE (Design of Experiment) sensitivity analysis. The variation range of these parameters was chosen based on the analysis of the effect of individual parameters of the constitutive equation on the chip compression ratio value. The largest deviations between the experimental and analytically calculated values of the chip compression ratio did not exceed 21%. At the same time, the largest deviations of simulated values of the indicated cutting characteristic and its experimental values did not exceed 20%. When comparing the experimental values of the chip compression ratio with the corresponding calculated and simulated values, the deviations were within 22%.

Determination of the shear angle in the orthogonal cutting process
(2022) Storchak, Michael; Stehle, Thomas; Möhring, Hans-Christian
Determination of the shear angle by experimental and analytical methods, as well as by numerical simulation, is presented. Experimental determination of the shear angle was performed by analyzing the chip roots obtained by the method of cutting process quick stop through purposeful fracture of the workpiece in the area surrounding the primary cutting zone. The analytical determination of the shear angle was carried out using the chip compression ratio and was based on the principle of a potential energy minimum. Measurement of the shear angle in the numerical simulation of orthogonal cutting was performed using the strain rate pattern of the machined material at the selected simulation moment. It was analyzed how the parameters of the Johnson-Cook constitutive equation and the friction model affect the shear angle value. The parameters with a predominant effect on the shear angle were determined. Then the generalized values of these parameters were established with a software algorithm based on identifying the intersection of the constitutive equation parameter sets. The use of generalized parameters provided the largest deviation between experimental and simulated shear angle values from 9% to 18% and between simulated and analytically calculated shear angle values from 7% to 12%.

Determination of the tool-chip contact length for the cutting processes
(2022) Storchak, Michael; Drewle, Konstantin; Menze, Christian; Stehle, Thomas; Möhring, Hans-Christian
The thermomechanical interaction of the tool with the chip in the most loaded secondary cutting zone depends on the contact length of the tool rake face with the chip. Experimental studies of the dependency of the contact length on the cutting speed, the undeformed chip thickness, and the tool rake angle, performed by the optical method, are used for comparison with the contact length obtained by the FE modeling of the orthogonal cutting process. To determine the parameters of the constitutive Johnson-Cook equation, which serves as a material model of the FE cutting model that has a predominant influence on the contact length, a software-implemented algorithm was developed. This algorithm is based on determining the generalized parameters of the constitutive equation through finding the intersection of these parameter sets. The plurality intersection of the parameter sets of the constitutive equation is determined by means of the design of experiments and refined by subsequent multiple iterations. The comparison of the contact length values, obtained by simulating the cutting process using the generalized parameters of the constitutive equation as a material model with their experimental values, does not exceed 12% for a wide range of cutting speeds and depths of cut, as well as for the tool rake angle.

Generation of mechanical characteristics in workpiece subsurface layers through milling
(2024) Storchak, Michael; Hlembotska, Larysa; Melnyk, Oleksandr
The generation of mechanical characteristics in workpiece subsurface layers as a result of the cutting process has a predominant influence on the performance properties of machined parts. The effect of the end milling process on the mechanical characteristics of the machined subsurface layers was evaluated using nondestructive methods: instrumented nanoindentation and sclerometry (scratching). In this paper, the influence of one of the common processes of materials processing by cutting-the process of end tool milling-on the generation of mechanical characteristics of workpiece machined subsurface layers is studied. The effect of the end milling process on the character of mechanical property formation was evaluated through the coincidence of the cutting process energy characteristics with the mechanical characteristics of the machined subsurface layers. The total cutting power and cutting work in the tertiary cutting zone area were used as energy characteristics of the end milling process. The modes of the end milling process are considered as the main parameters affecting these energy characteristics. The mechanical characteristics of the workpiece machined subsurface layers were the microhardness of the subsurface layers and the total work of indenter penetration, determined by instrumental nanoindentation, and the maximum depth of indenter penetration, determined by sclerometry. Titanium alloy Ti10V2Fe3Al (Ti-1023) was used as the machining material. Based on the evaluation of the coincidence of the cutting process energy characteristics with the specified mechanical characteristics of the machined subsurface layers, the milling mode effect of the studied titanium alloy, in particular the cutter feed and cutting speed, on the generated mechanical characteristics was established.

Glass fracture during micro-scratching
(2020) Zakiev, Islam; Gogotsi, George A.; Storchak, Michael; Zakiev, Vadim
The regularity of glass surface fracture and resistance to destruction were investigated by the methods of progressive and static microscratching with the Berkovich indenter. The research hardware was the original nanoindentation/microscratching devices and a non-contact interference profilometer for studying the morphology of the formed microscratches. The regularities of the fracture stages and the cracks growth along the microscratch were established depending on the indenter applied load. Based on analysis of the microcracks profile formed at various loads on the indenter immediately after the process of applying these scratches and after several hours of rest, it was found that the process of crack propagation along the scratch continues for a long time. Taking into account this established fact, a discrete-statistical method of the cracks formation for a long time is proposed. In accordance with this method, scratching is carried out with a constant load on short and separated tracks. The load on the indenter in each track increases discretely with a certain step. The influence of the medium on the scratching process is analyzed. The breaking mechanism in the glasses scratching process is formulated as the load on the indenter increases, and a model of the glass fracture stages is proposed.

Interaction of mechanical characteristics in workpiece subsurface layers with drilling process energy characteristics
(2024) Storchak, Michael; Hlembotska, Larysa; Melnyk, Oleksandr; Baranivska, Nataliia
The performance properties of various types of parts are predominantly determined by the subsurface layer forming methods of these parts. In this regard, cutting processes, which are the final stage in the manufacturing process of these parts and, of course, their subsurface layers, play a critical role in the formation of the performance properties of these parts. Such cutting processes undoubtedly include the drilling process, the effect of which on the mechanical characteristics of the drill holes subsurface layers is evaluated in this study. This effect was evaluated by analyzing the coincidence of the energy characteristics of the short hole drilling process with the mechanical characteristics of the drilled holes’ subsurface layers. The energy characteristics of the short-hole drilling process were the total drilling power and the cutting work in the tertiary cutting zone, which is predominantly responsible for the generation of mechanical characteristics in the subsurface layers. As mechanical characteristics of the drill holes’ subsurface layers were used, the microhardness of machined surfaces and total indenter penetration work determined by the instrumented nanoindentation method, as well as maximal indenter penetration depth, were determined by the sclerometry method. Through an analysis of the coincidence between the energy characteristics of the drilling process and the mechanical characteristics of the subsurface layers, patterns of the effect of drilling process modes, drill feed, and cutting speed, which essentially determine these energy characteristics, on the studied mechanical characteristics have been established. At the same time, the increase in the energy characteristics of the short-hole drilling process leads to a decrease in the total indenter penetration work and the maximum indenter penetration depth simultaneously with an increase in the microhardness of the drilled holes’ subsurface layers.

Mechanical characteristics generation in the workpiece subsurface layers through cutting
(2023) Storchak, Michael
The cutting process generates specific mechanical characteristics in the subsurface layers of the shaped parts. These characteristics have a decisive influence on the working properties and product durability of these parts. The orthogonal cutting process of structural heat-treated steel’s effect on the mechanical properties of the machined subsurface layers was evaluated by instrumented the nanoindentation method and sclerometry (scratch) method. As a result of this study, the relationship between the specific work in the tertiary cutting zone and the total deformation work during indenter penetration during the instrumented nanoindentation was established. The dependence of the indenter penetration depth during sclerometry of the machined subsurface layers of the workpiece was also studied. The orthogonal cutting process was carried out at different cutting speeds and tool rake angles. The cutting speed increase and the increase in the tool rake angle cause an increase in the indenter penetration work during the instrumented nanoindentation and an increase in the maximum indenter penetration depth during sclerometry. Simultaneously, the measured microhardness of the machined surfaces decreases with both an increase in cutting speed and an increase in the tool rake angle.

Numerical modeling of cutting characteristics during short hole drilling : modeling of kinetic characteristics
(2023) Storchak, Michael; Stehle, Thomas; Möhring, Hans-Christian
Analyzing the cutting process characteristics opens up significant opportunities to improve various material machining processes. Numerical modeling is a well-established, powerful technique for determining various characteristics of cutting processes. The developed spatial finite element model of short hole drilling is used to determine the kinetic characteristics of the machining process, in particular, the components of cutting force and cutting power. To determine the component model parameters for the numerical model of drilling, the constitutive equation parameters, and the parameters of the contact interaction between the drill and the machined material on the example of AISI 1045 steel machining, the orthogonal cutting process was used. These parameters are determined using the inverse method. The DOE (Design of Experiment) sensitivity analysis was applied as a procedure for determining the component models parameters, which is realized by multiple simulations using the developed spatial FEM model of orthogonal cutting and the subsequent determination of generalized values of the required parameters by finding the intersection of the individual value sets of these parameters. The target values for the DOE analysis were experimentally determined kinetic characteristics of the orthogonal cutting process. The constitutive equation and contact interaction parameters were used to simulate the short hole drilling process. The comparison of experimentally determined and simulated values of the kinetic characteristics of the drilling process for a significant range of cutting speed and drill feed changes has established their satisfactory coincidence. The simulated value deviation from the corresponding measured characteristics in the whole range of cutting speed and drill feed variation did not exceed 23%.

Numerical modeling of cutting characteristics during short hole drilling : part 2 - modeling of thermal characteristics
(2024) Storchak, Michael; Stehle, Thomas; Möhring, Hans-Christian
The modeling of machining process characteristics and, in particular, of various cutting processes occupies a significant part of modern research. Determining the thermal characteristics in short hole drilling processes by numerical simulation is the object of the present study. For different contact conditions of the workpiece with the drill cutting inserts, the thermal properties of the machined material were determined. The above-mentioned properties and parameters of the model components were established using a three-dimensional finite element model of orthogonal cutting. Determination of the generalized values of the machined material thermal properties was performed by finding the set intersection of individual properties values using a previously developed software algorithm. A comparison of experimental and simulated values of cutting temperature in the workpiece points located at different distances from the drilled hole surface and on the lateral clearance face of the drill outer cutting insert shows the validity of the developed numerical model for drilling short holes. The difference between simulated and measured temperature values did not exceed 22.4% in the whole range of the studied cutting modes.

Plasticity resource of cast iron at deforming broaching
(2023) Nemyrovskyi, Yakiv; Shepelenko, Ihor; Storchak, Michael
The contact interaction mechanics of deformation broaching in low-plasticity materials is studied. Particular attention is paid to the study of the stress–strain state parameters and the plasticity margin in the deformation zone during the machining of gray cast iron EN-GJL-200. The stress-strain state was analyzed using a finite-element model of the deforming broaching process for each area of the deformation zone. The model parameters of the machined material were determined experimentally by compressing specimens of gray cast iron EN-GJL-200. The changes in the parameters of accumulated strain, stress tensor components, stress triaxiality ratio, hydrostatic stress, and plasticity margin at different deformation zones along the machined specimen depth are analyzed. It is shown that there is a zone of local plastic deformation in conditions of critical contact stresses. This leads to the appearance of tensile stresses that reduce the plasticity margin in the surface layer. The impact of tool geometry on the stress–strain state of the surface layer is also discussed, and recommendations for the optimal working angle of the deforming element are provided based on plasticity margin minimization.
