The Johnson-Cook (J-C) constitutive model, including five material constants (A, B, n, C, m), and the Coulomb friction coefficient (μ) are critical preprocessed data in machining simulations. Before they become reliable preprocessed data, investigating these parameters’ effect on simulation results benefits parameter-selecting. This paper aims to investigate the different influence of five settings of the J-C constitutive equation and Coulomb friction coefficient on the turning simulation results of Inconel 718 under low-high cutting conditions, including residual stress, chip morphology, cutting force and temperature. A three-dimensional (3-D) finite element model was built, meanwhile, the reliability of the model was verified by comparing the experiment with the simulation. Sensitivity analysis of J-C parameters and friction coefficient on simulation results at low-high cutting conditions was carried out by the hybrid orthogonal test. The results demonstrate that the simulation accuracy of Inconel 718 is more susceptible to strain hardening and thermal softening in the J-C constitutive model. The friction coefficient only has significant effects on axial and radial forces in the high cutting condition. The influences of the coefficient A, n, and m on the residual stress, chip thickness, cutting force and temperature are especially significant. As the cutting parameters increase, the effect of the three coefficients will change visibly. This paper provides direction for controlling simulation results through the adjustment of the J-C constitutive model of Inconel 718 and the friction coefficient.
