Mechanistic Modeling of Ball End Milling Including Tool Wear

A mechanistic approach for the simulation of ball end milling including tool wear is presented in this paper. The inclusion of tool wear is required when developing the process plans for a part, as the realistic cutting forces experienced during the full operation must be considered. The total cutting force is considered as the summation of the forces from the rake face, cutting edge, and flank face, where the flank force is defined as a …
