Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultra-precision machining, and in particular to a method for predicting the geometrical appearance and machining accuracy of an ultra-precision cutting surface. Background Art
[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] Single-point diamond turning is a cutting technique used to machine high-precision surfaces, capable of directly achieving submicron-level surface topography. Due to the cutting depth of several microns, the impact of microscopic factors such as edge rounding, material elastic recovery, and plastic lateral flow on machining accuracy must be considered.
[0004] Tool profile replication is an important method for diamond turning microstructures. For the predictive modeling of the surface topography of ultra-precision turning microstructures, only the tool profile and cutting trajectory are usually considered. However, due to the influence of material elastic recovery and plastic flow, there is a geometric deviation between the actual surface topography of the workpiece and the tool cutting edge profile. Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the effect of material elastic-plastic deformation on the cross-sectional profile of diamond microgrooves. Currently, there is no definitive elastic-plastic deformation model for diamond cutting microstructures, making it impossible to accurately predict the deformation patterns of the workpiece material affected by cutting forces, tool geometry, and material flow characteristics. This results in a significant deviation between the actual machined surface topography and the designed target. In theoretical models of surface topography for ultra-precision cutting planes, elastic recovery is often attributed to the minimum cutting thickness corresponding to the blunting of the cutting edge, but this theory is not applicable to microstructure machining. Furthermore, theoretical models of plastic lateral flow in the cutting plane are also not applicable to microstructure machining.
[0005] Due to the existence of the above problems, a modeling method that can accurately predict the contour error caused by elastic-plastic deformation is needed to guide the optimization of diamond turning processing parameters and improve its processing accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0051] Example 1
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for predicting the geometric morphology and machining accuracy of an ultra-precision cutting surface, comprising the following steps:
[0053] S1, obtaining machining parameters, tool geometry parameters, and characteristic parameters of the workpiece material to be cut;
[0054] S2. Establishing a cutting edge profile of the tool according to the tool geometric parameters, calculating the profile deformation caused by elastic recovery of the material according to the machining parameters and the characteristic parameters of the workpiece material to be cut, and calculating the profile deformation caused by plastic lateral flow according to the machining parameters, the tool geometric parameters and the characteristic parameters of the workpiece material to be cut;
[0055] S3, based on the tool cutting edge profile, the amount of deformation caused by material elastic recovery and the amount of deformation caused by plastic side flow, calculate the correction coefficient of the topography prediction model under different machining parameters, and obtain a cutting surface geometry topography prediction model;
[0056] S4, optimize and correct the machining parameters, pre-compensate the elastic-plastic deformation, and obtain the final cutting surface.
[0057] Before obtaining the tool geometry parameters, first clean the tool tip of the diamond tool, use a dust-free cotton swab to dip acetone or ethanol to wipe the rake face and the flank face, until no stains and dust can be seen under a total magnification of 500 times, use an optical microscope or a scanning electron microscope to obtain the plan view of the rake face at the tool tip, calculate the tool geometry parameters by digital image processing algorithm, obtain the circular arc radius r of the circular arc tool and the angle of the V-shaped sharp tool Determine the rake angle and the relief angle, use an atomic force microscope to obtain the waviness of the cutting edge profile, and use an optical microscope to obtain the measurement results of the tool cutting edge profile as shown in Figure 3 .
[0058] According to the tool geometry parameters, the cutting edge profile of the tool is established, specifically:
[0059] R t =R ideal +ΔR wave =R ideal +Δwsin(ωθ)
[0060] In the formula, R ideal is the ideal cutting edge profile of the tool, and Δw is the amplitude of the cutting edge waviness.
[0061] Wherein, the ideal cutting edge profile of the circular arc tool with a radius of r can be calculated by the following formula:
[0062]
[0063] The ideal cutting edge profile of the V-shaped sharp tool with a tool tip angle of can be calculated by the following formula:
[0064]
[0065] Wherein, h is the cutting depth.
[0066] Measure the characteristic parameters of the workpiece material, including elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, hardness, and yield strength. Calculate the contour deformation caused by the material's elastic recovery based on the processing parameters and the characteristic parameters of the workpiece material to be cut. The contour deformation caused by the material's elastic recovery includes the elastic recovery caused by the cutting force and the elastic recovery caused by the blunting of the cutting edge. The schematic diagram of the influence of the elastic recovery component on the cross-sectional profile is shown below. Figure 4 The following formula is used to calculate the contour deformation caused by the elastic recovery of the material:
[0067] e=e1+e2
[0068] Where e1 is the elastic recovery caused by cutting force, and e2 is the elastic recovery caused by cutting edge bluntness.
[0069] The elastic recovery caused by the cutting force corresponding to e1 is simplified into a linear transformation, and its maximum elastic deformation δ is calculated using the following formula:
[0070]
[0071] Where P is the load on the workpiece, E * is the equivalent elastic modulus, and R is the radius of the equivalent sphere.
[0072] The elastic recovery e2 caused by the blunt edge is the same along the microstructure cross-sectional profile. The springback e2 is calculated using the following formula:
[0073] e2=(1-ε p )·h min
[0074] Where h min is the minimum cutting thickness, ε p is the plastic strain.
[0075] According to the stress-strain relationship in the elastic-plastic deformation theory, the plastic strain is calculated σ t is the yield strength of the workpiece, and E is the elastic modulus.
[0076] The contour deformation caused by plastic lateral flow includes the reduction of microgroove width caused by plastic lateral flow and the material accumulation at the microgroove boundary caused by plastic lateral flow.
[0077] According to the machining parameters, tool geometry parameters and characteristic parameters of the workpiece material to be cut, the reduction in microgroove width caused by plastic lateral flow and the accumulation of material at the microgroove boundary are calculated. The schematic diagram of the influence of the plastic lateral flow component on the cross-sectional profile is shown in the figure. Figure 5 The calculation formula for the reduction in microgroove width caused by plastic lateral flow is as follows:
[0078] s=k c k m kt h min L t
[0079] wherein k c is a correction factor, k m is a factor determined by material properties, k t is a factor determined by tool size, L t is the cutting width of the tool.
[0080] The material accumulation height Δh a at the micro-groove boundary is calculated using the following formula:
[0081]
[0082] wherein represents the equivalent half-apex angle of the diamond tool.
[0083] According to the influence of the calculated machining parameters on the micro-groove profile deformation, the cutting depth is pre-compensated before machining, and appropriate machining parameters are selected to reduce the machining surface morphology error caused by elastic-plastic deformation, and finally a higher precision cutting surface is obtained.
[0084] The influence of machining parameters on the elastic-plastic deformation is corrected using correction factors (the correction factors are obtained by experiments, and the specific selection is shown in Figure 6 The cutting depth, cutting speed and workpiece material are calculated according to the following formula:
[0085] R model = R t +f d f s f m (e+s+Δh a )
[0086] wherein f d is the correction factor of the prediction model about the cutting depth, f s is the correction factor of the prediction model about the cutting speed, and f m is the correction factor of the prediction model about the workpiece material. As shown in Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of selecting correction factors according to different machining parameters in the model of the present application.
