Previous studies have reported significant differences in the Johnson-Cook (J-C) parameters of Ti6Al4V alloy. Thus, various serrated chip morphologies, cutting forces, and cutting temperatures are obtained when different constitutive parameters are used for numerical and simulation analyses, which decreases the reliability of the simulation model. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate and analyze simulation errors due to differences in the J-C parameters. In this study, the mechanism of the serrated chip formation of Ti6Al4V is thoroughly analyzed using the uniformly proportional J-C parameters. The serrated chip sensitivity, shear band spacing, serrated segmentation frequency, chip serration intensity, temperature field, strain energy, and cutting force is obtained. This study aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of the micro-cutting simulation models, as well as a reference for the selection of J-C constitutive parameters of simulation with Ti6Al4V manufactured with different heat treatments and additive manufacturing.

The chip formation mechanism in orthogonal cutting is a phenomenon that attracts the attention of many researchers. This paper investigates experimentally the orthogonal cutting of Ti6Al4V at different cutting conditions aiming at the understanding of the chip formation mechanism. Serrated chip formation is obtained during orthogonal cutting of Ti6Al4V in a wide range of cutting speeds. The results are analyzed in order to extract useful indices relevant to chip geometry, as the adiabatic zone angle and other dimensions that describe the serrated chip. The cutting forces and the acoustic emission are measured. Finally, by the aid of 3D Computed Tomography (CT) the chip morphology is analyzed to better understand the segmentation process.
