    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%.

    Simulation study on single-lip deep hole drilling using design of experiments
    (2021) Fandino, Daniel; Guski, Vinzenz; Wegert, Robert; Möhring, Hans-Christian; Schmauder, Siegfried
    Single-lip deep hole drilling (SLD) is characterized by a high surface quality and compressive residual stress in the subsurface of the drill hole. These properties are strongly dependent on the cutting parameters of the SLD process and the actual geometry of the insert and the guide pads. In the present work, full 3D FE simulations of the SLD process were carried out to analyze the thermo-mechanical as-is state in the drilling contact zone by evaluating the feed force, the temperature, as well as the residual stress in the drill hole subsurface. An extensive simulation study was conducted on the effect of the process parameters on the properties using design of experiments (DoE). For the simulations, the Johnson-Cook (JC) constitutive law and the element elimination technique (EET) were applied to represent the material behavior of the workpiece, including chip formation. In-process measurements as well as results from the hole-drilling method to determine residual stresses were conducted to verify the numerical results. By means of DoE and analysis of variance (ANOVA), regression models were developed to describe the effect of the feed rate, cutting speed, and guide pad height on the temperature, feed force, and residual stress in the subsurface.

    Generalizable process monitoring for FFF 3D printing with machine vision
    (2023) Werkle, Kim Torben; Trage, Caroline; Wolf, Jan; Möhring, Hans-Christian
    Additive manufacturing has experienced a surge in popularity in both commercial and private sectors over the past decade due to the growing demand for affordable and highly customized products, which are often in direct opposition to the requirements of traditional subtractive manufacturing. Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) has emerged as the most widely-used additive manufacturing technology, despite challenges associated with achieving contour accuracy. To address this issue, the authors have developed a novel camera-based process monitoring method that enables the detection of errors in the printing process through a layer-by-layer comparison of the actual contour and the target contour obtained via G-Code processing. This method is generalizable and can be applied to different printer models with minimal hardware adjustments using off-the-shelf components. The authors have demonstrated the effectiveness of this method in automatically detecting both coarse and small contour deviations in 3D-printed parts.

    Evaluation of methods for measuring tool-chip contact length in wet machining using different approaches (microtextured tool, in-situ visualization and restricted contact tool)
    (2022) Ellersiek, Lars; Menze, Christian; Sauer, Florian; Denkena, Berend; Möhring, Hans-Christian; Schulze, Volker
    The contact length is one of the most important factors to evaluate the chip formation process and the mechanical loads in metal cutting. Over the years, several methods to identify the contact length were developed. However, especially for wet cutting processes the determination of the contact length is still challenging. In this paper, three methods to identify the contact length for dry and wet processes in cutting of Ti6Al4V and AISI4140 + QT are presented, discussed and analyzed. The first approach uses tools with a microtextured rake face. By evaluating the microstructures on the chip, a new method to identify the contact length is established. The second approach applies high speed recordings to identify the contact length. The challenge is thereby the application of high-speed recordings under wet conditions. In the third approach, tools with restricted contact length are used. It is shown that with all three methods the contact length is reduced using metal working fluid.

    A data-driven approach for cutting force prediction in FEM machining simulations using gradient boosted machines
    (2024) Reeber, Tim; Wolf, Jan; Möhring, Hans-Christian
    Cutting simulations via the Finite Element Method (FEM) have recently gained more significance due to ever increasing computational performance and thus better resulting accuracy. However, these simulations are still time consuming and therefore cannot be deployed for an in situ evaluation of the machining processes in an industrial environment. This is due to the high non-linear nature of FEM simulations of machining processes, which require considerable computational resources. On the other hand, machine learning methods are known to capture complex non-linear behaviors. One of the most widely applied material models in cutting simulations is the Johnson-Cook material model, which has a great influence on the output of the cutting simulations and contributes to the non-linear behavior of the models, but its influence on cutting forces is sometimes difficult to assess beforehand. Therefore, this research aims to capture the highly non-linear behavior of the material model by using a dataset of multiple short-duration cutting simulations from Abaqus to learn the relationship of the Johnson-Cook material model parameters and the resulting cutting forces for a constant set of cutting conditions. The goal is to shorten the time to simulate cutting forces by encapsulating complex cutting conditions in dependence of material parameters in a single model. A total of five different models are trained and the performance is evaluated. The results show that Gradient Boosted Machines capture the influence of varying material model parameters the best and enable good predictions of cutting forces as well as deliver insights into the relevance of the material parameters for the cutting and thrust forces in orthogonal cutting.

    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.

    Validation of the manufacturing Methodology of prestressed fiber-reinforced polymer concrete by the variation of process parameters
    (2023) Engert, Michelle; Werkle, Kim Torben; Wegner, Robert; Born, Larissa; Gresser, Götz T.; Möhring, Hans-Christian
    Polymer concrete has proved to be advantageous in machine building for many years thanks to its excellent damping properties. Until now, its use was limited to machine beds due to its comparatively low tensile strength. Its use in moving structural components has not been possible until now. Recent research results have shown that this challenge can be met by integrating prestressed carbon fibers. Until now, the production of samples out of prestressed fiber-reinforced polymer concrete has been carried out according to fixed specifications. It is not yet clear whether these specifications are suitable to fully exploit the potential of the material. Samples manufactured to these specifications show at least a large scatter in bending stiffness. Within the scope of this paper, the existing manufacturing process is validated by the variation of process steps. Specifically, this involved the use of a shaker, variation of the dwell time in the mold, variation of the resin content, and the procedure for impregnating the fibers. The characterization of the samples showed that the scatter could only be reduced by increasing the dwell time. However, this leads to a decrease in bending stiffness and, thus, is not suitable for further improvement of the novel material.

    Development of a multi-sensor concept for real-time temperature measurement at the cutting insert of a single-lip deep hole drilling tool
    (2022) Ramme, Johannes; Wegert, Robert; Guski, Vinzenz; Schmauder, Siegfried; Möhring, Hans-Christian
    The mechanical energy resulting from cutting processes is turned almost completely in thermal energy, which encourages thermal procedures, such as diffusion, leading to higher wear in the cutting tool and thus to higher temperatures. Furthermore, high temperatures influence the properties of the marginal zones in the workpiece. In this presented work, the in-process temperature of a cutting insert during single-lip deep hole drilling (SLD) is investigated. Therefore, a sensor-integrated tool with resistance temperature detectors (RTD) placed beneath the cutting insert is developed. First, the thermal properties of the cutting insert are adjusted to fit the assembled tool. Afterwards, a CEL-Simulation is obtained to examine the temperature distribution at the cutting edge of the SLD-tool. The temperatures calculated by simulation can be compared to the in-process temperatures of the sensor integrated tool. Because of the usage of a cooling lubricant, simulated temperatures can be varied with a factor to fit the experimentally measured temperature curves. The highest temperature during the process appears at the outer edge of the cutting insert. By knowing the thermal properties, the maximum process temperatures for the deep hole drilling operation are to be calculated. The results represent a contribution to an interdisciplinary research project “Surface Conditioning in Machining Processes” (SPP 2086) of the German Research Foundation (DFG).

    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%.
