Abstract

The anisotropy of single crystal copper and crystal orientation have a significant effect on the micro-milling process. At present, there is no systematic and perfect theory to explain the influence of single crystal orientation on the micro-milling process. Therefore, it is urgent to conduct an in-depth study on the micro-milling process of single crystal copper. In this paper, based on the theory of crystal plasticity, considering the anisotropy of single crystal copper, the VUMAT material subroutine of single crystal copper is programmed by the Fortran language, and the crystal plastic constitution is introduced into the finite element simulation. The model of the micro-milling tool and work-piece is established and meshed. Considering the friction among the tool and the work-piece, material removal, etc., the three-dimensional finite element simulation model of single crystal copper micro-milling process is achieved by ABAQUS software. The validity of the simulation model of the micro-milling process of single crystal copper considering the single crystal plastic constitution is verified by experimental micro-milling forces. The research has explored a feasible way to predict the micro-milling force of single crystal copper, and has provided a reference for revealing the micro-milling mechanism of single crystal materials.
