Abstract Laser-assisted machining (LAM) is a promising technology for improving the machinability of hard-to-cut materials. In this study, based on the finite element method (FEM), a cutting model of thermally coupled non-uniform temperature field is established. The chip formation mechanism of fused silica during the laser-assisted machining process is explored from the aspects of laser power and laser incident angle. The results show that as the laser incident angle increases, the continuity of the chip increases gradually. An annular tool holder that can adjust the angle between the laser beam and the tool was designed. And the similar chip morphology obtained by variable-angle cutting experiments verified the effectiveness of the cutting model. Moreover, fracture chips and continuous banded chips are found in both simulation and experiment, which implies that the cutting mechanism works under a hybrid mode of brittle fracture and plastic deformation in the LAM process.

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are among the lightest metallic structural materials, making them very attractive for use in the aerospace and automotive industries. Recently, Mg has been used in metal matrix composites (MMCs), demonstrating significant improvements in mechanical performance. However, the machinability of Mg-based MMCs is still largely elusive. In this study, Mg-based MMCs are machined using a wide range of cutting speeds in order to elucidate both the chip morphology and chip formation mechanism. Cutting speed is found to have the most significant influence on both the chip morphology and chip formation mechanism, with the propensity of discontinuous, particle-type chip formation increasing as the cutting speed increases. Saw-tooth chips are found to be the primary chip morphology at low cutting speeds (lower than 0.5 m/s), while discontinuous, particle-type chips prevail at high cutting speeds (higher than 1.0 m/s). Using in situ high speed imaging, the formation of the saw-tooth chip morphology is found to be due to crack initiation at the free surface. However, as the cutting speed (and strain rate) increases, the formation of the discontinuous, particle-type chip morphology is found to be due to crack initiation at the tool tip. In addition, the influences of tool rake angle, particle size, and particle volume fracture are investigated and found to have little effect on the chip morphology and chip formation mechanism.

This paper describes the analysis of the chip formation mechanism in mold machining process of large diameter Fresnel lens based on the ABAQUS finite element simulation software and modal test methods. Combined with the material constitutive relation and material failure criteria etc, a two-dimensional orthogonal cutting model was established and the chip derived from the simulation was compared with the chip from modal test, with a consequent verification of the feasibility of simulation chip model. The simulation contributes to an investigation into the effects of the cutting speed on chip formation process. The results show that: the material strength and plastic brittle have significant impact on chip morphology in the H62 brass mold processing, and material strength will improve with the increase of strain rate, the evolution process of the chip of material plastic reduction can be divided into: ribbon cuttings, serrated chips, cell chips.
