High Aspect Ratio Thin Rib Shape Processing of Carbon Material for Electrical Discharge Machining Molds

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aluminum alloy die casting products are used for automotive LED lamp installation parts. The high aspect ratio shape used for large-volume heat problems needs thin rib parts. In the present study, we obtained basic data for the development of long axis type end mill tools for electrical discharge machining carbon material processing. At the same time, to evaluate the prototype development work, a special tool that enables high aspect ratio thin rib geometry processing was used. Longitudinal direction traverse cutting was done with a small diameter ball end mill tool in the carbon material for electrical discharge machining mold. The transfer accuracy and pick feed shape in the finished surface, the cutting resistance force, and the cutting edge shapes were examined to clarify the relationship between the cutting conditions set. Prototype development of the small-diameter end mill tool with a high rigidity, long axis was done using FEM numerical analysis method. The results showed that the small-diameter ball end mill tool with a tapered length axis in the prototype development had transfer accuracy of the cutting edge shape, and it was possible to reduce the finished surface roughness. Factors such as differences in tool shape are considered to greatly affect the tool rigidity.
