3D FEM Modeling of Ball End Milling of HSM H13 Die Steel with Cutter Inclination

This paper outlines the development of a 3D finite element model (FEM) for the H13 milling, Deform 3D software was used for ball end milling simulation. A milling force experiment was carried out under the same cutting conditions with the simulation. The results showed that the simulated cutting force agreed well with the experimental data. The proposed method of 3D FEM can be used to correctly simulate the HSM milling process, so as to optimize cutting parameters．
