The effect of milling parameters on chip shape and chip morphology for Zr-based bulk metallic glass was studied in this paper. The milling groove experiments of Zr-based bulk metallic glass (Zr-based BMG) (Zr52Cu17.5Ti16Ni12Nb2.5) were conducted by using a JX-1A ultra-precision machine tool. In order to study the milling quality and milling characteristics of Zr-based bulk metallic glass, it is very important to study the chip shape and chip morphology. In this paper, firstly, the temperature field distribution of Zr-based bulk metallic glass in milling process was simulated by finite element method, and the milling temperature and its distribution at different cutting speeds were obtained. Then the effect of different milling parameters on chip shape and chip morphology was studied, and the reason of the change was analyzed. Then the influence of milling cutters with different geometric parameters on the chip shape and chip morphology of Zr-based bulk metallic glass was also studied. At last, under the same milling conditions, the chip shape and chip morphology of traditional polycrystalline metal materials, monocrystalline metal alloy materials, high-entropy alloy which is in amorphous system, and Zr-based bulk metallic glass were compared. It provides theoretical and experimental basis for the groove milling technology of Zr-based bulk metallic glass.
