Abstract

Titanium alloys generally have problems such as sticking, large cutting force, and poor heat dissipation during the cutting process., research shows that processing microtextures on the surface of the tool can effectively improve the above problems. Therefore, this paper designs the V-groove micro-textures based on the principle of bionics. Use simulation software to analyze the milling behavior of different V-groove micro-texture ball-end milling cutters for milling titanium alloys. Build a test platform to study the milling performance of the V-groove micro-texture ball-end milling cutter for milling titanium alloys, obtain the prior choice range of V-groove micro-texture parameters, optimize the parameters based on the simulated annealing algorithm and conduct experimental verification. The results of the optimal tool parameters are that the opening angle of the V-groove micro-textures is 79°, the V-groove micro-texture spacing is 170 µm, and the V-groove micro-texture width is 30 µm, the distance from blade of the V-groove micro-textures is 90 µm.
