In the milling process, according to the relationship between the rotation direction of the milling cutter and the workpiece contact part and the cutting feed direction, it can be divided into two kinds of climb milling and up milling. When the rotation direction of the milling cutter and the workpiece contact part and the workpiece feed direction is the same, that is, the component force of the milling cutter on the workpiece in the feed direction is the same as the workpiece feed direction. It called climb milling. When the direction of rotation of the milling cutter and the workpiece contact surface is opposite to the direction of cutting feed, it is called up milling.
Climb milling
Application:(1)There is no hard skin on the workpiece surface; (2) No clearance on the feed mechanism of the machine tool.
Suitable material: aluminum magnesium alloy, titanium alloy heat - resistant alloy.
Advantages: good surface quality of parts, small tooth wear, long service life.
Up milling
Application:(1)The surface of the workpiece is hard, such as casting and forging；(2)The feed mechanism of the machine tool has clearance；(3)Used for poor rigidity of machine tools, tool suspension elongation processing applications
Advantages：(1)Cutting teeth from the processed surface, will not collapse;(2) The clearance of the machine tool feed mechanism will not cause vibration and crawling.
Note:
Milling width: 60%~80% of milling cutter diameter
When the milling width is 100%, the cutter cannot remove chips, poor toughness, affecting the service life of the cutter
