The wear patterns and wear mechanisms of solid cemented carbide are analyzed in high-speed milling of aluminum alloy. Results show that the dominant wear patterns are coating damage, crater wear, micro-chipping, breakage, and so on. The main wear mechanisms are adhesion, diffusion and fatigue. Compared with conventional speed machining, the effect and impact of thermal-dynamical coupling field play an important role in the cutting tool wear in high-speed milling of aluminum alloy.
The case variable model is put forward by analyzing the system model and the IDEFO model. The component variables of the machining system are classified into four types, I. E uncontrolled variables, process variables, controlled variables and output variables. The process of building the case base is given. The high-speedcutting data base system is developed based on the presented variable model.
