Fea Simulation

A finite element model of a two dimensional orthogonal cutting process is developed. The simulation uses standard finite software is able to solve complex thermo-mechanical problems. A thermo-visco-plastic model for the machined material and a rigid cutting tool were assumed. One of the main characteristic of titanium alloy is serrated shape for a wide range of cutting conditions. In order to understand the influence of cutting parameters on the chip formation when machining titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. The influence of the cutting speed,the cutting depth and the feed on the chip shape giving rise to segmented chips by strain localisation is respectively discussed.

Cutting Model

Nowadays, numerical simulation of cutting processes receives considerable interest among the scientific and industrial communities. For that, various numerical codes are used. Nevertheless, there is no uniform standard for the comparison of simulation model with these different software. So, it is often not easy to state if a given code is more pertinent than another. In this framework, the present work deals with various methodologies to simulate orthogonal cutting operation inside two commercial codes Abaqus and Deform. The aim of the present paper is to build a common benchmark model between the two pre-cited codes which can initiate other numerical cutting model comparisons. The study is focused on the typical aeronautical material - Ti-6Al-4V - Titanium alloy. In order to carry out a comparative study between the two codes, some similar conditions concerning geometrical models and cutting parameters were respected. A multi-physic comprehension related to chip formation, cutting forces and temperature evolutions, and surface integrity is presented. Moreover, the numerical results are compared with experimental ones.

Nickel Base

Nickel-base superalloys like Alloy 625 are widely used in power generation applications and in the oil and gas industry due to their unique properties especially at elevated temperatures. The chip formation process of Alloy 625 is not yet well understood. Therefore, the cutting process of this alloy has been studied in detail by means of orthogonal cutting experiments at conventional cutting speeds and in the high-speed cutting regime. Alloy 625 shows a cutting parameter dependent change in the chip formation process from continuous to segmented chips. Silver has been added to Alloy 625 to improve the machinability. During machining of these modified alloys short breaking chips develop so that cutting processes are eased and can be automated.

Cutting Model

First, a 2D orthogonal cutting model for titanium alloy is constructed by finite element method in this study. The cutting tool is incrementally advanced forward from an incipient stage of tool-workpiece engagement to a steady state of chip formation. Cockroft and Latham fracture criterion [1] is adopted as a chip separation criterion. By changing the settings of cutting variables such as cutting speed, depth of cut and tool rake angle to investigate the chip formation process and the variation of cutting performance during titanium cutting simulation. The changes of chip type, cutting force, effective stress/strain and cutting temperature with different cutting condition combinations are thus analyzed. The result demonstrates that the serrated chip type is obviously produced when cutting titanium alloy. Next, water-based and oil-based cutting fluids are employed in conjunction with proper cutting parameter arrangements to perform up-milling experiments. By measuring the cutting force, surface roughness and tool wear to investigate the effect of these combinations of milling variables on the variation of cutting performance for Ti-6Al-4V. The chip shape and cutting force obtained from the experiment are compared with those calculated from simulation. It is shown that there is a good agreement between simulation and experimental results.

Numerical Predictions

During the last decades, the importance of machining in manufacturing industry has required rigorous scientific studies concerning the chip formation process in order to determine optimal speeds, feeds or other technological parameters. For all types of machining including turning, milling, grinding, honing or lapping, the phenomenon of chip formation is similar in terms of the local interaction between the tool and the work piece. Because of the intensive use of CNC machine tools producing parts at ever-faster rates, it has become important to provide analysis of high speed cutting where complex loading conditions occur during the fabrication process: high gradients of the thermo-mechanical variables, strong nonlinearities of the thermo-mechanical coupling, large plastic strains, extremely high strain rates compared to that of other forming processes, important influence of the contact friction and of the microstructure evolution. Today many scientific researches are focalized on finite element analyses of the chip formation and of its morphology evolution during a high speed metals cutting process. To improve the quality of the numerical predictions, a better description of the local shear band formation is needed, using adequate rheological models. On this point of view this paper deals with the influence of the rheological behavior formulation on the morphology and geometry of the chip formation during a finite element simulation of a high speed metal cutting process. Numerical simulations of a high speed orthogonal cutting of special steels are employed to analysis the sensitivity of the numerical results describing the local cutting area with respect to different rheological laws: Norton-Hoff or Cowper-Symonds model, Johnson-Cook one or Zerilli-Armstrong formulation. To obtain a better description of the local material loadings and to take into account the important gradient of the strain rate, plastic strain and temperature values, a more adequate constitutive model is proposed by the author.
