A new theoretical analysis of the orthogonal cutting process is described which is based on the known behaviour of a single phase metal at high strains, strain rates and temperatures. The theoretical analysis applies to the case where a continuous chip is produced under non-lubricated conditions with the absence of a built-up edge on the tool face and indicates the important parameters in the cutting process. The theory is examined experimentally and its validity established. Finally, from a knowledge of the effects of strain rate and temperature on the yield stress of a single phase metal, the theory is used to predict the effects of changes in cutting speed and tool rake angle on the tool forces and geometry of the cutting process. These predictions are compared qualitatively with the results of cutting tests.

The concept of multi-constrained analysis of the cutting process is presented for the first time in the paper. The paper adopts a method to solve an important problem which is how to judge the influence of constrains during the cutting process. The research results are applied for HSS drills for cutting stainless steel. On the basis of the multi-constrained analysis combined with methods of simulations and standard experiments, the optimum methods are provided for structure, coating and cutting parameters of cutting tools. For geometric structure of tools, optimization is to increase thickness of cutting and rake angle. Coating optimization strategy is choosing high temperature hardness and low thermal conductivity coating. Optimization of cutting parameter is to adjust feed fate, then select proper cutting speed. The conclusion of paper is helpful for the cutting optimization.

Metal cutting speeds are getting faster with the development of high-speed cutting technology, and with the increase in cutting speed, the strain rate will become larger, which makes the study of the metal cutting process more inconvenient. At the same time, with the increase in strain rate, the dislocation movement controlling the plastic deformation mechanism of metal will change from thermal activation to a damping mechanism, which makes the metal deformation behave more like a fluid. Therefore, it is necessary to explore new ways of studying machining from the perspective of fluid flow. Based on this, a fluid model of the metal cutting process is established, and a method for calculating the strain rate is proposed from the point of view of flow. The results of the simulation and measurements are compared and analyzed. The results show that the strain rate on the rake face will be affected by the friction between the chip and tool; the nearer the distance between the chip layer and tool rake face, the bigger the strain rate will be. The strain rate in the central shear plane is much larger than in other areas along the shear plane direction, and in which two ends are the biggest. It can achieve rougher, quantitative research. This shows it is feasible to study machining from the viewpoint of fluid flow, though it still needs a lot of theoretical support and experimental confirmation.

This paper proposes a thermo-mechanical orthogonal cutting finite element model (FEM) to investigate the variation of chip morphology from continuous chip to small and large saw-tooth chip. The corresponding experiments of hard turning AISI 52100 steel are conducted to validate the proposed FE model. Three one-factor simulation experiments are conducted to determine the evolution of chip morphology along feed rate, rake angle and cutting speed respectively. The chip morphology evolution is described by the variations of dimensional values, saw-tooth degree and chip segmental frequency. The research suggests that chip morphology transit from continuous to sawtooth chip with increasing the feed rate and cutting speed, and changing a positive rake angle to a negative rake angle. There exists a critical cutting speed at which the chip morphology transfers from continuous to saw-tooth chips. The saw-tooth chip segmental frequency decreases as the feed rate and negative rake angle value increase, but increases almost linearly with the cutting speed. The larger negative rake angle, the larger feed rate and high cutting speed dominate the sawtooth chip morphology while positive rake angle, small feed rate and low cutting speed determine continuous chip morphology.

The purpose of this research was to develop models for the prediction of responses from orthogonal metal cutting process that are responsible for the machinability ratings of this technological system. Mild steel work-piece material that is representative sample for various industrial applications was machined. The various industrial applications of this representative sample range from mechanical shafts to fasteners, screws and hydraulic jack. These machine elements require high degree of surface finish. A fifteen-run based Box-Behnken response surface design was created using widely established machining parameters, namely cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut. The optimum predicted responses from the orthogonal cutting process for the optimal process parameters are 0.1742 micron, 0.4933 micron, 0.1845 micron, 0.3673 micron, 794.6839 seconds and 19.642 seconds for the Ra, Rz, Rq, Rt, TL and M/C time respectively. The associated desirabilities for these optimum responses are 1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000, 1.000000, 0.524122, and 0.361858 respectively.   http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/njt.v36i1.13

An idealized model of the orthogonal metal cutting process is used to determine the stresses, strain rates, and temperatures at the tool rake face for the machining of several materials under dry, unlubricated conditions, where a continuous chip is produced with an absence of a built-up edge. An attempt is made to correlate stress with strain rate and temperature using a temperature compensated strain rate parameter, and velocity modified temperature.

A review is presented concerning the mechanics of the metal-cutting process where a continuous chip is produced with the absence of a built-up edge on the tool face. It is shown that previous theories which predicted a linear relationship of the form φ = A − B (β − α) between the angle parameters cannot be used to interpret the experimental data. The apparent linear relationships observed in some previous experimental work are thought to be due partly to the method of presentation of the results. It is suggested that a more significant combination of the angle parameters is the difference between the shear angle φ and the rake angle α, that is, (φ − α). It is pointed out that two parameters which can be used to describe the frictional conditions on the tool face are the mean friction stress and the mean normal stress. Since these can vary independently, it is thought unrealistic to group them together as a single variable. It is therefore concluded that the mean angle of friction is insufficient in itself to describe the frictional conditions on the tool face.

Nickel-base superalloys like Alloy 625 are widely used in power generation applications due to their unique properties especially at elevated temperatures. During the related component manufacturing for gas turbines up to 50% of the material has to be removed by metal cutting operations like milling, turning or drilling. As a result of high strength and toughness the machinability of Alloy 625 is generally poor and only low cutting speeds can be used. High-speed cutting of Alloy 625 on the other hand gets more important in industry to reduce manufacturing times and thus production costs. The cutting speed represents one of the most important factors that have influences on the tool life. The aim of this study is the analyses of wear mechanisms occurring during machining of Alloy 625. Orthogonal cutting experiments have been performed and different process parameters have been varied in a wide range. New and worn tools have been investigated by stereo microscopy, optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Energy-dispersive X-ray analyses were used for the investigation of chemical compositions of the tool's surface as well as the nature of reaction products formed during the cutting process. Wear mechanisms observed in the machining experiments included abrasion, fracture and tribochemical effects. Specific wear features appeared depending on the mechanical and thermal conditions generated in the wear zones.

In this paper, a finite element method was used to dynamically simulate the process of the edge defects formation during orthogonal cutting SiCp/Al composites. The influence of the cutting speed, cutting depth and rake angle of the PCD insert on the size of the edge defects have been investigated by using scanning electron. According to the simulated results, it can be provided that the cutting layer material has an effect on transfer stress and hinder the chip formation in the critical transition stage, and the critical transition point and distance are defined in this stage. The negative shear phenomenon is found when the chip transit to the edge defects in the flexure deformation stage, so the process of the chip formation is the basis of the edge defects formation. In addition, the relationship between the nucleation and propagation direction of the crack and the variation of the edge defect shape on the workpiece was investigated by theory, and it found that the negative shear angle formation is the primary cause of the edge defect formation. A mixed mode crack is found in the crack propagation stage. The sizes of edge defects were measured by the experiment and simulation, and the edge defect size decrease with the increasing of tool rake angle, while increase with increasing cutting depth and cutting speed.

The forces involved in a cutting process are related, for example, with the power consumption, with the final quality of the workpiece and with the chip geometry obtained, since these forces determine the compression experimented by the chip and therefore its final geometry. The orthogonal cutting process assisted with a High Speed Filmation (HSF) permit obtains a digital filmation of the process with high magnification. This filmation permits to obtain a measurement of the longitudinal changes produced in the chip. This deforms are related with the Shrinkage Factor, ζ. And in this case the Stabler hypothesis is enabled, by that using the shear angle and the rake angle is possible obtain a value of the Shrinkage Factor in a different conditions.

High-speed metal cutting processes can cause extremely rapid heating of the work material. Temperature on the machined surface is critical for surface integrity and the performance of a precision component. However, the temperature of a machined surface is challenging for in-situ measurement.So, the finite element(FE) method used to analyze the unique nonlinear problems during cutting process. In terms of heat-force coupled problem, the thermo-plastic FE model was proposed to predict the cutting temperature distribution using separated iterative method. Several key techniques such as material constitutive relations, tool-chip interface friction and separation and damage fracture criterion were modeled. Based on the updated Lagrange and arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method, the temperature field in high speed orthogonal cutting of carbon steel AISI-1045 were simulated. The simulated results showed good agreement with the experimental results, which validated the precision of the process simulation method. Meanwhile, the influence of the process variables such as cutting speed, cutting depth, etc. on the temperature distribution was investigated.
