To enhance the cutting performance of high speed steel(HSS) endmill, single and multilayer coating is applied on the substrated of the HSS endmill. Coating material reduces cutting force and enhances resistance against abrasive wear. This paper presents the physical vapour deposition(PVD) coating technology and evaluate the PVD coated HSS endmill. The performance of coated HSS endmills are fifteen times better than uncoated HSS endmill on proposed cutting conditions. The TiAlN monolayer coated endmills(futura nano coating) are better than those of multilayer coated endmills(futura coating) on machined surface and tool wear.

Indexable end mills, which consist of inserts and cutter body, have been widely used in roughing of parts in the mold industry. The geometry and distribution of inserts on cutter body are determined by application. This paper proposes analytical cutting force model for indexable flat end-milling process. Developed cutting force model uses the cutting-condition-independent cutting force coefficients and considers runout, cutter deflection and size effect for the accurate cutting force prediction. Unlike solid type endmill, the tool geometry of indexable endmill is variable according to the axial position due to the geometry and distribution of inserts on the cutter body. Thus, adaptive algorithm that calculates tool geometry data at arbitrary axial position was developed. Then number of flute, angular position of flute, and uncutchip thickness are calculated. Finally, presented model was validated through some experiments with aluminum workpiece.

End Milling is avilable for machining the variable shape of products and has been widely applicated in many industries. To manufacture precise products a surface roughness has to be noticable as a improtant parameter. In end milling the research for tool wear has been insufficient because the tool shape and the cutting geometry are complicated. In this paper the pattern of endmill wear is investigated and the machinability is evaluated. As finding out the characteristics of cutting force and surface roughness the effect of endmill wear on machinability is investigated.

The objective of this research is to use an analytical and experimental approach to develop optimal tool geometry for high speed machining. The tool geometry parameters and cutting process have complex relationships. Until now, numerous cutting tests were needed to acquire optimal design of endmill for the purpose of high speed machining, dut to the insufficient knowledge about process in high speed machining. In order to improve the cutting ability of endmill, a model for optimal cutter shape was developed to minimize resultant cutting force by combing cutting force and wear test and surface roughness test from optimized and conventional cutter with the same cutting condition. Using various tools with different geometry, relationships between the tool geometry parameter, rake angle, clearance angle, lengh of cutter have been stuied.

This study focused on the effects of ultrasonic vibration on a machined surface of Al6061 material in the endmill cutting process. It is known that ultrasonic vibration greatly increases the efficiency of the machining process when cutting or grinding. An ultrasonic vibration table was developed for application to ultrasonic vibration endmill machining experiments.Inthisstudy,the surface roughness and actual depth of the cut measured confirm the effects of ultrasonic vibration. As a result of the experiments, the actual depth of the cut increased during endmill machining when using ultrasonic vibration. The surface roughness was improved with increases in the amplitude of the vibration and the depth of the cut.

Endmill is one of the most important cutting tool, not only for machining of mold and die, but also for manufacturing of car industrial. Futhermore with spindle speeds on the increase and machined-surface quality aspiring to higher levels. The purpose of this study is an analysis of endmill's rake angle for appropriate tools design and making for the high speed machining. In this study, Experimental works are also executed to measure shape of endmills, cutting force, on different shape of endmills. Finally, To get concept of endmill design, Tool life was experimented on various design of tool from this study.

Surface generation model of three types of endmills is introduced to analyse the cutting mechanism of an endmill more accurately. Superposition method is introduced to define the effective cusp including the effects of cutter mark. Through the comparison of three endmills, it is shown that the ball-nose endmill is superior to the ball endmill and the flat endmill for inclined milling process in 3-or 5-axis machining modes. By using the objective function minimizing the machining time, appropriate nose radius is selected for various cutter radiuses and cutter inclination angles.

Carbon fiber epoxy composite are widely used in airframe structures, space vehicles, sports equipment, and high speed reciprocating parts for industrial machinery. In this paper, the groove processing characteristics of carbon fiber epoxy com-posite was experimentally investigated in order to study the endmill operation of fiber reinforce epoxy composites. Followings are main finding from the experimental results. First, the cutting and bending force in groove processing of the carbon fiber epoxy composite increased as the spindle speed deceased. They also deceased as the table feed increased. Second, the good cutting status obtained at the entrance of groove while delamination occurred at the exit of groove, Third, the regular high speed steel endmill was not efficient, thus the new endmill such as coated carbide rooter endmill or dia-mode endmill should be used for the effective endmll operation of carbon filber epoxy composites.
