Abstract

With Third Wave AdvantEdge FEM software, an equivalent finite element model in tapping has been built, making a simulation study of the chip curling of titanium alloy TC4 and analyzing the influnce of a tap hook angle and chip flute shape on chip curling. Based on the simulation study above, the modified-tooth taps made of high-speed steel W9, which have two types of chip flute shape with a chamfer angle of 7°30′and 5° respectively, were developed and the comparative tests of tapping TC4 have been done. The results indicates that the chip removal effects in hand tapping with the standard flute shape and 85° respectively are on the same level, but the tapping torque has become smaller and more effective to a chamfer angle of 5°.
