The invention discloses a surface
machining method for an obtrusive
hollow cylinder and a ball
end mill, in particular to the
machining method and the ball
end mill which use an ordinary three-shaft vertical
machine, and can reduce clamping frequency, improve
machining efficiency and machining stability. The machining method comprises course machining and fine machining, wherein the fine machining comprises the following steps: 1, semifinishing a round groove, a cylindrical face and a circular truncated cone curved face by a T-shaped
milling cutter, wherein the unilateral margins of the round groove and the cylindrical face are both 0.15 mm, and the machining margin of the circular truncated cone curved face is 0.12 mm; 2, finishing the round groove, the cylindrical face and the circular truncated cone curved face by the T-shaped
milling cutter, wherein the parameters of the T-shaped
milling cutter are the same as the parameters in step 1, the margins for machining the round groove and the cylindrical face are 0 mm, namely, machining is in place, and the unilateral margin of the circular truncated cone curved face is 0.08 mm; 3, finishing the circular truncated cone curved face by adopting the specially made ball
end mill, wherein the smallest
cutting length is 0.1 mm. For the specially made ball end mill, the
diameter of the cutter bar is smaller than that of the
bulb. The machining quality of a part is ensured by the method and use of the ball end mill.
