A Finite Element Model is developed for Oblique cutting process in high speed turning of H-13 tool steel. The material model used for workpiece is elastic-thermoplastic including the strain rate sensitivity effect. In order to predict the tool performance, tool is considered as non-rigid and direct stresses are determined around the tool tip. Lagrangian approach is utilized along with adaptive meshing to minimize element distortion around the tool tip. The model predicts cutting forces in 3-directions at different inclination angles. The results are compared with experimental data and found to be in good agreement. The model is also able to predict stress and temperature contours in the workpiece and the cutting tool which help in predicting workpiece surface integrity and performance of the cutting tool.

An elastic-viscoplastic based finite element model has been developed to study the necking behavior of tube expansion for rate independent materials, rate dependent monolithic materials, and laminated materials during dynamic loading. A numerical study shows that for rate independent materials, the dynamic loading will not delay diffused necking but localized necking; for rate dependent materials, high strain rate sensitivity can significantly delay the onset of localized necking for both monolithic and laminated sheets and affect the multiple-neck formation in high-speed dynamic loading. The model also shows that a higher volume fraction of a clad layer with positive rate sensitivity material in a laminated sheet improves the sheet ductility.

The history and application of the FEA are briefly presented in this paper. Several key technologies such as the building of material model, the establishment of the chip - tool friction model as well as meshing are described. Taking the high-speed cutting of titanium alloy (Ti - 10V - 2Fe - 3Al) as an example , reasonable cutting tools parameters are determined by simulating the influences of cutting temperature, cutting force on the tools parameters using FEA.

Cutting forces are very important variables in machining performance because they affect surface roughness, cutting tool life, and energy consumption. Reducing electrical energy consumption in manufacturing processes not only provides economic benefits to manufacturers but also improves their environmental performance. Many factors, such as cutting tool material, cutting speed, and machining time, have an impact on cutting forces and energy consumption. Recently, many studies have investigated the energy consumption of machine tools; however, only a few have examined high-speed turning of plain carbon steel. This paper seeks to analyze the effects of cutting tool materials and cutting speed on cutting forces and Specific Energy Consumption (SEC) during dry high-speed turning of AISI 1045 steel. For this purpose, cutting forces were experimentally measured and compared with estimates of predictive models developed using polynomial regression and artificial neural networks. The resulting models were evaluated based on two performance metrics: coefficient of determination and root mean square error. According to the results, the polynomial models did not reach 70 % in the representation of the variability of the data. The cutting speed and machining time associated with the highest and lowest SEC of CT5015-P10 and GC4225-P25 inserts were calculated. The lowest SEC values of these cutting tools were obtained at a medium cutting speed. Also, the SEC of the GC4225 insert was found to be higher than that of the CT5015 tool.

The manufacturing industry aims to produce many high quality products efficiently at low cost, thereby motivating companies to use advanced manufacturing technologies. The use of high-speed machining is increasingly widespread; however, it lacks a deep-rooted knowledge base needed to facilitate implementation. In this paper, response surface methodology (RSM) has been applied to determine the optimum cutting conditions leading to minimum flank wear in high-speed dry turning on AISI 1045 steel. The mathematical models in terms of machining parameters were developed for flank wear prediction using RSM on the basis of experimental results. The high speed turning experiments were carried out with two coated carbide and a cermet inserts using AISI 1045 steel as work material at different cutting speeds and machining times. The models selected for optimization were validated through the Pareto principle. Results showed the GC4215 insert to be the most optimal option, because it did not reach the cutting tool life limit and could be used for the whole range of cutting parameters selected. To quantitatively evaluate the usefulness of the cutting tools, it was proposed the coefficient of use of the tools from the results of the contour graphs. The GC4215 insert showed 100% effectiveness, followed by the GC4225 with 98.4%, and finally, the CT5015 insert with 83%.

An experimental investigation of wear mechanisms in high-speed turning of superalloy GH2132 with Al2O3-based ceramic was conducted under dry cutting condition. The tool wear mechanisms were characterized by observation of tool wear morphology using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and detection of the element distribution of the worn tool surface utilizing energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The results of turning experiments indicated that the major wear mechanisms of the ceramic cutting tool were synergistic interaction between abrasive wear and adhesive wear, and meanwhile the micro-chipping was also observed. It is also shown that cutting distance of the Al2O3-TiC ceramic cutting tool at the speed of 420 m/min was higher than that of the speed of 360 m/min and 540 m/min.

This study aims to identify the coefficients of Marusich’s constitutive equation (MCE) for the aluminum AA7075-T651. Material constants were identified inversely form orthogonal machining tests and from dynamic tests. The proposed material model was successfully implemented in a finite element model (FEM) to simulate the high speed machining of the aluminum AA7075-T6. Deform 2D® software was used. A reasonable agreement between predictions and experiments was obtained. The comparison was based on cutting forces, chip morphology, and tool/chip contact length.

Discrete element model of fully sintering dental zirconia was constructed and calibrated. Based on the model, the dynamic process of low-speed milling of zirconia was simulated, and the effects of different cutting speeds, cutting widths and federates on the formation of surface cracks were also analyzed. Results show that residue cracks number and maximum depth increases significantly with increase of the cutting width, while the influence of cutting speed and federates is not distinct. That shows the possibility of high-speed machining on fully sintering dental zirconia with development of coating technology of cutting tool.

The ceramic cutting tool requirements for metal machining are reviewed, taking into account the trends in industry towards dry high-speed cutting and the need for tools with complex geometry. The emphasis will be on bulk materials rather than on coatings and most attention will be devoted to machining of iron-based alloys (steels). In the development of new tool materials, special attention should be given to the chemical matching of tool and workpiece material at elevated temperatures. The chemical compatibility of the tool-workpiece combination can be investigated by means of static interaction couples at elevated temperatures, which have been exposed for times long enough to be able to characterise the interaction layer. Complementary to the experimental investigation, the chemical compatibility of tool and workpiece materials can be predicted from thermodynamic equilibrium solubility calculations of tool materials in a selected workpiece material. Taking into account the mechanical properties needed, new ZrO2-based composites were defined based on the thermodynamically estimated chemical stability. The selection, development and proof testing of the new ZrO2-based composites is highlighted and their wear behaviour and performance in high speed dry turning of construction steel is compared with that of state-of-the-art cutting tool materials.
