Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a radius end mill which has a long tool life by preventing deterioration of strength of a cutting edge at a corner portion by designing the tool angle at the corner portion to be an obtuse angle. SOLUTION: In the radius end mill having a rounded corner cutting edge of an approximately 1/4 circle at the corner portion of the tip end of the end mill, the tool angle of the rounded corner cutting edge is gradually varied so as to increase from an acute angle to the obtuse angle and then from the obtuse angle to the acute angle as the position of the cutting edge varies from an end cutting edge side toward a peripheral cutting edge side, and in addition, is an obtuse angle at least in the range of the rounded corner cutting edge from 30 deg. to 60 deg. with respect to the end cutting edge side.

2. Description of the Related Art A so-called radius end mill in which a corner portion of a normal square end mill is provided with a radius is well known as a cutting tool used for shouldering and grooving a work material. The corner portion where the outer peripheral edge and the bottom edge of this radius end mill intersect with each other has a high cutting speed, a large cutting load is applied, and the cutting heat is likely to be concentrated during the cutting, so that the most frequent wear or chipping occurs. This is a site that is likely to occur, and if both cutting edges are left intersecting at a sharp angle in such a corner portion, wear and breakage are further promoted, and the tool life is significantly shortened.

Conventionally, a ball end mill has been generally used for deep contouring of a metal mold or the like, but the demand for high-efficiency cutting has become strong, and a radius end mill has been used instead of the ball end mill. Compared to ball end mills, radius end mills have shorter contact lengths of the cutting edge with the work material.Because the tip of the tool is on the tool axis center, the cutting speed cannot be obtained. Radius end mills are suitable for high efficiency cutting because they have low cutting resistance and good sharpness because they can obtain sufficient cutting speed. Further, regarding the radius end mill, many improvements have been made according to the purpose of use and the like. For example, in JP-A-7-246508, an example in which a corner blade is reinforced is disclosed in JP-A-11-216.
609 discloses an example in which the machinability is improved.
On the other hand, in machining of dies, etc., there are corner machining and machining with large tool protrusion such as deep engraving, and chatter vibration is likely to occur during cutting. The method of lowering is adopted.
The method of lowering the feed rate not only reduces the machining efficiency, but also has little effect of suppressing chatter vibration, and the feed rate of one blade is proportionally reduced, so the number of contact between the cutting edge and the work material increases and the wear progress Will be faster. In addition, there is a method of reducing the cutting speed, which is highly effective in suppressing chatter vibrations, but with this alone, the feed rate decreases proportionally and the machining efficiency decreases in any case, so recently, as a means for performing high efficiency cutting, Cutting speed is reduced but feed rate is increased, ie 1
High-feed cutting is used that extremely increases the blade feed rate.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances. When the feed amount of one blade is extremely increased, the cutting load is concentrated on the corner round blade, and the corner round blade is cut. However, there was a problem in that the strength of could not withstand the cutting load, and the chip could reach the end of its life. In particular, when performing high-feed cutting in machining with a large amount of cutting such as rough machining, cutting resistance is large and defects are more likely to occur.
There was no choice but to lower the cutting conditions, and it was not in a state that could be called high efficiency cutting.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION According to the present invention, it is possible to suppress the breakage of a corner radius blade and perform high efficiency cutting. To make the corner angle of the cutting edge obtuse is to change the rake angle to a negative angle and also change the clearance angle to make the cutting edge angle, that is, the wall thickness of the blade thicker. It is possible to improve the cutting edge strength of the cutting edge portion where the load is concentrated. However, when the blade angle of the entire cutting edge is made obtuse, the sharpness becomes poor and the cutting resistance becomes large. Therefore, it was used only for a part of the corner radius blade where the cutting load is concentrated.

Next, in order to perform high feed cutting using a radius end mill, it is general to perform contour line machining in which the position involved in cutting hardly changes, and in the present invention, the cutting edge corresponding to that position, That is, at least the angle R30 to R60 of the corner round blade was defined as an obtuse angle portion. In addition, the position of the corner radius blade is 0 for the connection with the bottom blade.

Further, the connecting portion of the corner round blade from the bottom blade and the connecting portion of the corner round blade and the outer peripheral blade can be smoothly connected to the bottom blade and the outer peripheral blade by making the tool angle acute. In particular, in connection with the bottom blade, the rake angle of the bottom blade can be used to connect with the corner radius blade. The transition from an acute angle to an obtuse angle is provided between 5 degrees and 30 degrees of the corner blade, because the rake angle of the bottom blade and the blade angle have a main action in cutting such as contour line machining. The rake angle must be a positive angle, and the corner radius blade similarly shifts the rake angle from a positive angle to a negative angle, while the relief angle is changed from a straight cutting edge like a bottom blade to a curved cutting edge. Both the rake angle and the clearance angle are changed in order to change to. The rake angle keeps the right angle or 0 degree at the connection R0 degree from the right angle of the bottom blade to the corner radius edge. R5 from there,
The rake angles of R10 degrees, R15 degrees, R20 degrees, R25 degrees, and R30 degrees are shifted to negative angles and gradually increased. At this time, the relief angle of the corner radius blade is provided so as to correspond to the curved cutting edge, and the relief angle is gradually increased. Due to these, the blade angle gradually increases and becomes an obtuse angle.

The transition from the obtuse angle to the acute angle is provided between R60 ° and R85 ° of the corner radius blade because the rake angle and the blade angle of the outer peripheral blade are gradually increased with repetition in cutting such as contour line machining. Since the amount of cutting increases, the rake angle that is normally used is applied, but similarly for the corner radius blade, while shifting the rake angle from the negative angle to the positive angle, the clearance angle is also curved. Since the blade changes from a twisting cutting edge, both the rake angle and the relief angle are changed. The rake angle keeps a negative angle or 0 degree at the R90 degree connection from the negative angle of the corner radius blade to the outer peripheral edge. From there, gradually move to the original rake angle toward the base end side of the outer peripheral blade. At this time,
The relief angles of the corner radius blade and the outer peripheral blade are set so as to correspond to the spiral cutting edge, and the rake angle is gradually increased to a regular angle and the clearance angle is increased. As a result, the blade angle is gradually reduced, and is changed from an obtuse angle to an acute angle.

The maximum value of the obtuse angle is set to 95 degrees or more because
The corner portion is a portion where wear and chipping are most likely to occur because the cutting speed is high, a large cutting load is applied, and the cutting heat is likely to be concentrated during cutting. Of course, the blade angle was 95 degrees or more.
Further, the fact that the corner radius is between R30 and R50 has the effect of shortening the chip movement distance on the rake face side and further enhancing the chip discharge property. Here, in order to further reduce the occurrence of the edge portion, the mash processing of the bottom blade and the mash processing of the corner round blade are performed in a series of processing, and the corner ridge lines of the corner blade and the bottom blade form one convex curve. It is also possible to improve the chipping resistance of the corner blade. In addition, in order to perform high efficiency cutting, it is advantageous to have a large number of blades, but in the case of a work piece with a corner portion, in a multi-blade end mill with four or more blades, simultaneous cutting blades are used at the corner portion. Since it is present and chatter vibration due to resonance is likely to occur, the number of blades may be three or more. Further, it goes without saying that a long life can be achieved by applying a hard coating such as TiAlN or a Cr-based lubricating coating. Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described based on Examples.

(Embodiment 4) With the same specifications as the radius end mill of the present invention example 1, as the present invention example 13, the gashing of the bottom blade 2 and the gashing of the corner R blade 1 are carried out in a single series of corners. The R edge 1 and the bottom edge 2 were manufactured such that the edge ridges formed one convex curve, and the same cutting test as in Example 1 was conducted. As a result, not only chipping is suppressed due to the absence of edge parts, chip discharge is improved, chatter vibration is reduced by one layer, the cutting state is more stable, and the end mill damage state after the completion of 1-shape machining is ,
The wear width was reduced by one layer due to normal wear.
