O presente trabalho trata sobre a influência do teor de enxofre, em quatro aços com uma composição química similar (famílias ABNT 1045 e ABNT 1145), na microestrutura, nas propriedades estáticas, dinâmicas e nos processos de usinagem. Para esta análise foi feita uma caracterização microestrutural de cada material para determinar parâmetros tais como a fração de inclusões de sulfeto de manganês (MnS) e a fração volumétrica de perlita. Também foi feita uma caracterização mecânica que consistiu em ensaios estáticos mediante o ensaio de tração e dureza, e um ensaio dinâmico utilizando a barra de Hopkinson, com o objetivo de observar o comportamento das inclusões e do próprio material quando deformado com altas e baixas taxas de deformação. Para a caracterização durante a usinagem destes aços foram feitos ensaios de torneamento para avaliar as forças de corte e de avanço em velocidades de corte de 190, 110, 45 e 15 m/min. A rugosidade dos corpos-de-prova também foi medida. Os resultados obtidos nos ensaios de torneamento e da caracterização microestrutural foram analisados estatisticamente para observar variações do comportamento das forças de usinagem de cada aço sob diferentes condições de velocidade de corte, e tentar correlacionar esse comportamento com a microestrutura do material. Observou-se que o aço 1045-A apresentou forças de usinagem (força de corte e força de avanço) superiores que os demais aços, já o aço que apresentou menores forças de usinagem foi o aço 1145-B. Isto é apenas uma tendência, devido que não houve diferença estatística que avaliasse esse comportamento. Também se observou que a rugosidade é um parâmetro que depende mais da velocidade de corte que da distribuição e/ou morfologia das inclusões. Evidenciou-se a formação de aresta postiça de corte (APC) numa faixa de velocidades (15-50 m/min), o que influenciou na rugosidade para estas condições de velocidades. Verificou-se que o comportamento das inclusões em baixas taxas de deformação é de caráter frágil, entanto que em altas taxas seu comportamento é plástico e deforma junto com a matriz. / This work deals with the sulfur influence on the microstructure and on the static, dynamic and machining behavior of four steels with similar chemical composition. (ABNT 1045 and ABNT 1145). Microstructure characterization of the materials was performed in order to obtain the area fraction of the phases of perlite and sulfide inclusions. A mechanical characterization of the materials was also performed, consisting in a set of static (tension and hardness test) and dynamic tests (Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar Test) with the objective of observing the deformation behavior of the sulfide inclusions at low and high strain rates. Various machining tests were carried out at different cutting speeds, namely 190, 110, 45 e 15 m min-1, for obtaining the cutting forces during de machining process. After the machining tests, the roughness of the steels was also measured. Later on, the results of the different experiments were analyzed with statistical tools and then compared to establish a correlation between the cutting forces and microstructure. The higher cutting forces were registered for the 1045-A steel and the lower for the 1145-B steel. However, this was considered merely a trend given that no statistical difference was found to support any conclusion. It was also observed a stronger roughness dependency on the cutting speed than in the distribution and/or morphology of the inclusions. The steels were observed to form a built-up edge (BUE) in a range of cutting velocities of 15-50 m/min. This phenomenon affected the roughness for these cutting velocities. The behavior of the sulfide inclusions was observed to be brittle under low strain rates. On the other hand, under high strain rates, a plastic deformation behavior was observed with inclusions participating in the plastic flow of the metal matrix.

La thèse concerne l’usinage à 5 axes de formes complexes. Le but est d’estimer le plus précisément possible les efforts induits par la coupe pour ajuster la vitesse d’avance et gagner en performance. Pour cela, il est nécessaire d’estimer les engagements radial et axial de la fraise à chaque instant. Ce calcul est rendu particulièrement complexe à cause de la forme de la pièce, de la forme du brut et de la complexité de la géométrie de l’outil. Les méthodes usuelles par Zbuffer sont particulièrement couteuses en temps de calcul. Dans ces travaux nous proposons une méthode de calcul rapide à partir d’une modélisation du contact dans toutes les situations envisageables. Différentes simulations et expérimentations ont permis de valider la précision expérimentalement. / This study presents a simple method to define the Cutter Workpiece Engagement (CWE) during sculptured surface machining in five-axis milling. The instantaneous CWE was defined by determining two engagement points, lowermost engagement (LE)-point and uppermost engagement (UE)-point. LE-point was calculated using a method called grazing method. Meanwhile the UE-point was calculated using a combination of discretization and analytical method. During rough milling and semi-finish milling, the workpiece surface was represented by vertical vector. The method called Toroidal–boundary was employed to obtain the UE-point when it was located on cutting tool at toroidal side. On the other hand, the method called Cylindrical-boundary was used to calculate the UE-point for flat-end cutter and cylindrical side of toroidal cutter. For a free-form workpiece surface, a hybrid method, which is a combination of analytical method and discrete method, was used. All the CWE models proposed in this study were verified and the results proved that the proposed method were accurate. The efficiency of the proposed model in generating CWE was also compared with Z-mapping method. The result confirmed that the proposed model was more efficient in term of computational time. The CWE model was also applied for supporting the method to predict cutting forces. The test results showed that the predicted cutting force has a good agreement with the cutting force generated from the experimental work.

La modélisation des efforts de coupe en usinage est nécessaire pour prédire certaines caractéristiques de la pièce usinée comme sa géométrie, son état de surface ou encore l'intégrité de la matière en sub-surface.Les nombreux modèles d'efforts de coupe déjà développés sont souvent appliqués dans le cas d'opérations d'usinage simples, ce qui limite leur diffusion vers le milieu industriel, alors qu'il existe un réel besoin de modélisation d'opérations d'usinage complexes et variées, et prenant en compte d'éventuels changements métallurgiques au niveau du matériau usiné.L'objectif de ces travaux est de proposer un modèle d'efforts de coupe appliqué à toute opération de tournage d'une part et considérant certaines propriétés mécaniques du matériau usiné d'autre part.Concernant l'aspect multi-opérations, un modèle géométrique utilisant des transformations homogènes a été développé et permet de décrire à la fois la trajectoire et la géométrie de l'outil. Les effets de paramètres originaux, tels que le diamètre de la pièce, l'angle de direction d'arête et le rayon de bec, sont étudiés, notamment à l'aide de nouvelles configurations de coupe élémentaires. La prise en compte de ces paramètres dans les relations de coupe locales permet finalement d'améliorer la simulation des efforts de coupe lors d'un contournage.L'approche utilisée pour l'aspect multi-matériaux consiste à modifier progressivement le matériau usiné. Ainsi, le matériau initial, le cuivre pur, a été étudié dans différents états métallurgiques, obtenus par des traitements thermo-mécaniques. En particulier, le procédé d'extrusion coudée à aires égales (ECAE) a été utilisé afin d'écrouir le matériau dans la masse. Ainsi, trois matériaux aux caractéristiques mécaniques différentes mais conservant plusieurs caractéristiques communes (thermiques notamment) ont pu être comparés en termes d'efforts de coupe. Les coefficients des relations de coupe sont finalement mis en regard des propriétés mécaniques obtenues par des essais de traction et de compression à grande vitesse. / The cutting forces have to be known as accurately as possible in order to predict the characteristics of the workpiece as the geometry, the roughness or the material integrity.Numerous models have been yet developed; however, the majority cannot be used for the various industrial cutting operations and remain confined for a single machined material.The objective of this study is to develop a cutting forces model applied to any turning operation and taking into account some mechanical characteristics of the machined material.First, a geometrical model based on homogeneous transformations is presented. Then, the effects of some parameters, like the workpiece diameter, the cutting edge angle and the nose radius, are studied by using new cutting configurations, in order to improve the cutting laws.The multi-material aspect is approached by modifying the metallurgical state with thermo-mechanical treatments, especially by using the equal channel angular extrusion process in order to harden the material in the mass. Finally, the coefficients of the local cutting relations are compared to mechanical characteristics obtained from tensile and high compression tests.

Atualmente, nota-se um crescimento na fabricação de produtos utilizando moldes e matrizes contendo formas geométricas complexas. No entanto, a fabricação destes ferramentais onde se emprega, principalmente, operações de fresamento, não tem acompanhado esta evolução com a mesma velocidade. O advento dos sistemas CAD/CAM, máquinas CNC e da tecnologia de usinagem em altas velocidades (HSC) influenciaram positivamente a fabricação de superfícies complexas. Contudo, nota-se ainda ineficiências neste processo produtivo. A qualidade superficial após as operações de usinagem ainda não é suficiente para que estes ferramentais entrem diretamente na linha de produção. Assim, operações manuais de acabamento são exigidas, elevando o tempo e custo de produção, comprometendo a qualidade dimensional. Com a finalidade de aprimorar a fabricação de moldes e matrizes, este trabalho apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a usinagem HSC; um estudo sobre a força de usinagem para o fresamento de formas complexas e uma análise sobre a metodologia utilizada por sistemas CAD/CAM e CNC para gerar e interpretar programas NC que contenham movimentações complexas de ferramenta. Análises práticas foram realizadas em um centro de usinagem HSC, e os resultados indicam que as limitações tecnológicas atuais na cadeia CAD/CAM/CNC limitam a usinagem de formas complexas com altas velocidades, reduzindo a velocidade de avanço programada e que as características intrínsecas deste processo de remoção de material demonstrou ser bastante complexo, acarretando em constantes alterações na força de usinagem / In recent years the number of products containing free-form shapes produced by dies and molds have been growing noticeably. However, the milling process used to manufacture those dies and molds does not meet their requirements. The arrival of the CAD/CAM systems and the High Speed Cutting Technology (HSC) helps to improve this manufacturing process. Although to obtain the surface quality needed to meet the dies and molds requirements, a hand finishing still requires. It involves time, money and decrease the product quality. Technological limitations in the CAD/CAM/CNC chain limit the feed rate when milling free-form shape. It also has a negative effect on the surface roughness. Besides, this kind of milling still lacks scientific knowledge of the cutting process. With the aim to support the dies and moulds fabrication, this work presents an overview about HSC Technology; the cutting forces in a non-planar milling; the cutting tool deflection; a detailed description of the process chain involving the CAD/CAM/CNC systems and the methodologies used by those systems to generate and accomplish free-free tool-paths. Free-form milling experiments applying the HSC Technology were made to study the behavior of this process, and the outcomes are presented

Dans un contexte d’optimisation des lignes de production, la maîtrise de la qualité des pièces et des capacités machines est primordiale. Plusieurs études se sont intéressées à la formation des bavures en usinage mais les mécanismes sont encore peu connus, bien qu’un lien fort avec les efforts de coupe soit établi par divers auteurs. Ainsi, la maîtrise des efforts de coupe a un intérêt double : optimiser les lignes de production et servir de donnée d’entrée pour la prédiction de la taille des bavures. Cette étude propose donc de renforcer les connaissances concernant les mécanismes de formation des bavures générées par un outil en sortie matière, et de prédire les efforts de coupe en fraisage grande vitesse, dans l’alliage d’aluminium AlSi7Mg0,3+0,5Cu. Divers mécanismes de formation de bavures sont étudiés en coupe élémentaire. Une nouvelle méthode de mesure in situ permet d’identifier l’influence des conditions opératoires sur l’évolution statistique de critères géométriques caractérisant les bavures générées de façon hétérogène dans le cas de l’alliage étudié, dont le comportement est fortement dépendant de son état de contrainte local ainsi que de sa microstructure. Une analyse des champs de déplacement et déformation par corrélation d’images couplée ainsi qu’un modèle de simulation par éléments finis permettent d’identifier plus finement les mécanismes de formation des bavures. Le surfaçage est étudié pour modéliser les efforts de coupe puis comparer les efforts produits lors de la sortie des dents avec les caractéristiques des bavures obtenues. Enfin, une stratégie de minimisation de la hauteur des bavures en surfaçage à la fraise grande avance est étudiée. / In a context of production lines optimization, parts quality and machine capabilities control is essential. Several studies have been carried out on machining burr formation but the mechanisms are not fully understood, although a strong link between burrs formation and cutting forces is established by several authors. Hence, controlling the cutting forces has two advantages: optimize the production lines and be used as input data for a burr height model. This study proposes to consolidate the knowledge on burr formation mechanisms during the exit of a tooth, and to predict cutting forces during high speed milling of the AlSi7Mg0.7+0.5Cu alloy. Various burr formation mechanisms are studied in orthogonal cutting. A new in situ measurement method allows to identify the statistical influence of some operational conditions on the evolution of some newly introduced geometrical parameters defining the burrs heterogeneously formed in the case of the studied alloy, whose behavior strongly depends on its local stress state as well as its microstructure. A displacement and strain field analysis using Digital Image Correlation, as well as a finite element model provide a better understanding of the burr formation mechanisms. Face milling is studied to model cutting forces and compare the forces produced during the exit of a tooth to the obtained burr morphologies. Finally, a burr height reduction strategy is proposed using a high feed mill.

Les composites utilisés dans l'industrie aéronautique sont hétérogènes. Ils sont composés d'une matrice polymère souple et ductile et d'un renfort dur et fragile. Les différentes phases ainsi que l'anisotropie du matériau peuvent rendre l'usinage de ces matières, difficile. Deux problèmes majeurs peuvent être rencontrés lors de l'usinage : garder l'intégrité de la matière usinée et réduire l'usure de l'outil de coupe. Les niveaux de qualité demandés dans le secteur aéronautique imposent une coupe sans défaut, ces derniers pouvant entrainer une altération ultérieure de la pièce. Les principaux défauts rencontrés sont : le délaminage des plis, la surchauffe de la résine, les plis non coupés francs ou l'écaillage. / Aeronautic composites are inhomogeneous and most often consist in two distinctly phases. The reinforcement fibres are relatively hard and brittle whereas the matrix is soft and ductile. The anisotropy causes some severe challenges when machining composites. People in the field often experience a trade-off between two main problems ; on one hand, keeping the composite parts integrity and quality, and on the other hand, reducing the wear of the cutting tools. The quality level required in aeronautic applications imposes a high quality cut of machined parts. Common defects that may occur during machining of these materials are delamination, overheat of the resin, uncut fibres, and fibre pull-out.

Le perçage profond (Lu >= 5 x Øoutil) à l'aide de la technologie BTA (Boring Trepanning Association) intervient lorsqu'on souhaite fabriquer des pièces avec un bon rendement productif associé à une bonne qualité d'usinage. Les industries mécaniques évoluent dans un contexte de concurrence perpétuelle, avec des exigences technico-économiques toujours plus importantes. Cette étude résulte donc de la volonté de plusieurs acteurs industriels (AREVA et CIRTES) et universitaire (LEMTA, Université de Lorraine), de faire progresser la compréhension des mécanismes d'usinage qui régissent ce procédé. Une analyse bibliographique approfondie a révélé que cette technologie propose un champ d'investigation très vaste et relativement peu exploré car difficile à appréhender et à étudier. Le but de ce travail est d'analyser et de modéliser les phénomènes ayant lieu au cours d'une opération de perçage profond. Une analyse de la morphologie des copeaux a permis d'introduire un nouveau paramètre permettant d'évaluer les contraintes mécaniques subies par le matériau usiné. L'approche proposée permet quant elle de définir le torseur des contraintes mécaniques en intégrant la géométrie effective de coupe, et ce pour toutes les surfaces de coupe actives d'une tête de forage BTA. Les principes des modélisations utilisées permettent une application relativement aisée à de nombreux matériaux et à partir de l'identification d'un minimum de paramètres. Des moyens expérimentaux originaux ont permis d'identifier des paramètres ainsi que d'ajuster et d'étudier la validité des modélisations. Les limitations de la loi de comportement utilisée ont été mises en évidences, et des perspectives d'études complémentaires ont donc été proposées.Néanmoins, l'ensemble des résultats issus de cette étude ouvrent, modestement, des perspectives intéressantes, notamment dans le domaine d'aide aux choix des paramètres de coupe optimaux, et pour l'aide à la compréhension des phénomènes physiques de la coupe / Deep drilling (Drilling distance >= 5 x Øtool) with BTA system (Boring Trepanning Association) occurs when you produce parts with good productive performance combined with good machining quality. Mechanical industries operate in a context of constant competition, with ever greater technical and economic requirements. This study illustrates the desire of many industrial players (AREVA and CIRTES) and university (LEMTA, Université de Lorraine), to advance in the understanding of machining mechanisms that govern this process. A literature review revealed that this technology offers a vast and relatively unexplored field of investigation and study. The aim of this study is to analyze and modelling the phenomena which occurring in a deep drilling operation. An analysis of the morphology of the chips has introduced a new parameter for assessing the mechanical stresses suffered by the material being machined . The proposed approach allows to define the mechanical stress torsor by integrating the real cutting geometry, for all cut surfaces of active drilling head BTA. The principles of modeling used allow a relatively easy application to many materials and from the identification of a minimum parameters. Original experimental methods have allowed the identification of parameters and adjust and examine the validity of modeling. The limitations of the law of behavior have been used in evidence, and the prospects for further studies have been proposed. Nevertheless, all the results of this study open, modestly, interesting perspectives, especially in the field of helping for the choice of optimum cutting parameters, and help in the understanding of the physical phenomena of the cut
