Abstract In this paper, the theoretical model of cutting tool is established. Based
on the structural dimension of the end face of the tool and the axis of the tool as
the rotating axis, the mathematical modeling of the spiral cutting edge line is carried
out. The cutting bottom edge of the tool is composed of the intersection lines of
the chip containing groove on the bottom surface, the cutting surface in front of
the bottom surface and the cutting surface behind the bottom surface, which makes
the size structure of the simulation tool model consistent with that of the actual
tool model. High speed milling simulation is carried out on Ti6Al4V material by
ABAQUS software. The simulation is based on Johnson cook material constitutive
model and damage model. At the same time, the reliability of simulation results of
cutting force and cutting temperature is verified by experiments. The results show
that the error of cutting force and cutting temperature is less than 15%, especially
the error of cutting temperature is less than 10%.

6.1 Introduction
Ti6Al4V is often called superalloy, and widely used at the forefront of science and
technology because of its excellent mechanical and chemical properties. Ti6Al4V
is also a kind of engineering material with excellent performances such as high
specific strength, high thermal strength, good fracture resistance and good corrosion resistance, and has been rapidly popularized and applied in aviation, aerospace,
electronics, shipping and many other industries [1–3]. However, Ti6Al4V has the
characteristics of high friction coefficient, high cutting temperature, low thermal
conductivity and high chemical activity, leading to poor processing performance and
