PCD milling cutter for milling composite material
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of machining, in particular to a PCD milling cutter for milling composite materials.
Background
The composite material is a material formed by combining two or more different substances in different modes, has the advantages of light weight, high strength, good chemical corrosion resistance and weather resistance and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of automobiles, aerospace, body-building equipment and the like. At present, the molding of composite material parts mainly adopts a near-net forming technology, however, the manufactured composite material is difficult to obtain accurate dimensional precision. Therefore, secondary processing is needed, and the composite material has the characteristics of high hardness, non-homogeneous structure and anisotropy and belongs to a typical difficult-to-process material.
If a common cutter is adopted for milling, the cutter is worn quickly. The rigidity and hardness of the whole hard alloy cutter are moderate, the cutter can be sharpened into various angles, the cutting force distribution can be controlled, but the wear resistance of the cutter is still insufficient for cutting composite materials. Due to the above-mentioned problems with the difficulty of machining, coated knives have been developed and widely used in milling of composite materials. However, the coated cutter also has the problem of coating falling off, once the coating falls off, the cutter is rapidly worn and fails, and the PCD (polycrystalline diamond) cutter does not have the problem, has long service life and high processing precision and becomes the first choice cutter for high-precision processing of composite materials.
The existing PCD cutter is manufactured in a mode that the inclination angles of the cutting edges are the same, only one surface of a machined surface can be guaranteed not to have the defects of layering and the like in the process of machining a composite material, and the other surface is easy to have the machining defects of layering, tearing, burrs and the like, so that the machining quality is influenced.

The first chip groove and the second chip groove have no overlapped part along the axial direction of the milling cutter base body; the front of the main cutting edge of each of the two groups of blades is provided with a third chip groove, and the angle formed between the front cutter surface and the bottom surface of the chip groove is 90 degrees.
Further, the angle between the groove bottom surface of the third chip groove and the groove bottom surfaces of the first chip groove and the second chip groove is 90-135 degrees.
Furthermore, the length of the first chip groove and the second chip groove along the axial direction of the milling cutter base body is 0.5-1.5 mm.
Further, the inclination angles of the first far-handle blade and the second far-handle blade are right-inclined and 3-12 degrees respectively, and the inclination angles of the first near-handle blade and the second near-handle blade are left-inclined and-3-12 degrees respectively.
Further, the first distal handle blade is the same length as the second proximal handle blade; and the length is 4-8 mm. The first proximal handle blade and the second distal handle blade are the same in length; and differs in length from the first distal shank blade or the second proximal shank blade by the length of one flute.
Further, the head of the end of the handle far away from the milling cutter groove is provided with an end milling cutter edge. The end milling blade can realize small cutting depth end milling.
Furthermore, the end milling blade and the milling cutter base body are of an integrated structure, namely the material of the end milling blade is consistent with that of the milling cutter base body.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
1) the invention adopts the far handle blade and the near handle blade which are arranged in opposite inclination angles, when the blades are used for milling, the blades can generate downward pressing and upward pressing cutting component forces on the upper surface of the composite material at the same time, when a chip discharge groove between the far handle and the near handle blade is positioned at the central position of the side edge of the composite material, the downward pressing and upward pressing cutting component forces are mutually counteracted, the axial force is reduced during peripheral milling, and the force points to the inside of the plate during the cutting process of each blade, thereby inhibiting the generation of the defects of composite material layering, surface stripping, burrs and the like;
2) the PCD milling cutter blades are arranged at the inclination angle, and the PCD cutter blades inclined in the opposite direction have the inclination angle, so that the impact force of the PCD cutter blades is reduced, and the service life of the PCD milling cutter is further prolonged; the arrangement mode replaces the arrangement mode of the straight slot blades in the traditional technology, reduces the impact force and prolongs the service life of the cutter;
3) the chip removal groove is formed between the far handle blade and the near handle blade, so that chips can be effectively removed and heat can be dissipated, the chip removal capacity is improved, the influence of the chips on the cutter and the machined surface is reduced, and the service life of the cutter is further prolonged;
4) the end milling cutter edge can realize small cutting depth end milling, quick treatment of composite material plate surface waviness and the like is realized, and further processing is facilitated.
