High-speed turning is an advanced and emerging machining technique that, in contrast to the conventional machining, allows the manufacture of the workpiece with high accuracy, efficiency and quality, with lower production costs and with a considerable reduction in the machining times. The cutting tools used for the conventional machining cannot be employed for high-speed machining due to a high temperature induced in machining and a lower tool life. Therefore, it is necessary to study the influence of high cutting speeds on the temperature distribution in different typologies of cutting tools, with the aim of evaluating their behavior. In this paper, a finite element method modeling approach with arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian fully coupled thermal-stress analysis is employed. The research presents the results of different cutting tools (two coated carbide tools and uncoated cermet) effects on average surface temperature fields on the cutting edge in the dry high-speed turning of AISI 1045 steel. The numerical experiments were designed based on different cutting tools like input parameters and different temperature field zones like dependent variables in the dry high-speed turning of AISI 1045 steel. The results indicate that the dry high-speed turning of AISI 1045 steel does not influence significantly the temperature field zones when P10, P15 or P25 inserts are used. Therefore, the use of a dry high-speed turning method, which reduces the amount of lubricant and increases productivity, may represent an alternative to turning to the extent here described.

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%.

In this paper, numerical investigation of the effects of microgroove textured cutting tools in high speed machining of AISI 1045 is conducted using Finite Element Method (FEM). Microgrooves are designed and fabricated on the rake face of cemented carbide (WC/Co) cutting inserts. The effects of microgroove width, edge distance (the distance from cutting edge to the first microgroove), and microgroove depth are examined and assessed in terms of main cutting force, thrust force, and tool-chip contact length. It is found that microgrooved cutting tools generate lower cutting force and consequently lower the energy necessary for machining. This research provides insightful guidance for optimizing tool life and reducing energy consumption in high-speed machining of AISI 1045 steel.

In this paper, the commercial FEM software package Abaqus is used to investigate the effects of microgrooved cutting tools in high speed orthogonal cutting of AISI 1045 steel. Microgrooves are designed and fabricated on the rake face of cemented carbide (WC/Co) cutting inserts. A coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) finite element model is developed based on Abaqus to solve the evolution of the cutting temperature, chip morphology, cutting force, and phase constitutes simultaneously. This model is validated by comparing the numerical results with the experimental data for orthogonal high speed cutting of AISI 1045 steel with various cutting conditions. In addition, this model is also validated by comparing with the experimental data of regular tool and microgrooved cutting tool under the cutting speed of 120m/min. This validated CEL FEM model is then utilized to investigate the effects of microgrooved cutting tools on the phase transformation, cutting force, cutting temperature, and chip morphology in high speed orthogonal cutting of AISI 1045. The effects of microgroove width, edge distance (the distance from cutting edge to the first microgroove), and microgroove depth are examined and assessed in terms of cutting force, cutting temperature, chip morphology, and phase transformation. It is found that this CEL FEM model can capture the essential features of orthogonal high speed cutting of AISI 1045 using microgrooved cutting tools. It is also concluded that microgrooved cutting tools can not effectively reduce the cutting force in high speed machining, which is contrary to the conclusion obtained for low speed machining in previous research. However, microgrooves on the rake face have influence on the austenite percentage in the chip near the rake face. This research provides insightful guidance for optimizing the cutting performance in terms of cutting temperature, cutting force, chip morphology, and phase transformation in high speed machining of AISI 1045 steel.

Using metallographic and microhardness techniques, temperature distributions have been determined in twist drills. The methods rely on the fact that certain high speed steel materials exhibit microstructural changes when subjected to temperatures greater than 600°C. Quick-stop specimens have also been obtained to study the metal flow patterns over the drill flutes. These results have been used to comment on the different wear mechanisms that affect the performance of a twist drill. Preliminary results show that bulk plastic flow occurs near the margin of the drill where the temperatures are in the vicinity of 900°C when machining AISI 1045 steel at 40 m/min.

Hardened AISI 1045 steel implemented in machine tool spindle was previously ground using grinding operation. This research aims to address the feasibility of hard turning AISI 1045 using PCBN tool with chip breaker under dry condition. Chip morphology, cutting force and temperature were measured, analyzed and correlated with machining parameters. Experimental results demonstrate that serrated chips are generated at high speeds, high feed rate is an assistant to promote serrated chips, and chip breaker can help break chip into acceptable lengths. Cutting forces were characterized with periodic fluctuation along three directions as chips are serrated. Temperature at machined zone can reach as high as 1200°C, which indicates that adiabatic shear bands can be successfully achieved during the machining of hardened AISI 1045 steel without applying lubricants.

Modeling machining processes with conventional finite element methods (FEM) is challenging due to the severe deformations that occur during machining, complex frictional conditions that exist between the cutting tool and the workpiece, and the possibility of self contact due to chip curling. Recently, the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method has emerged as a potential alternative for modeling machining processes due to its ability to handle severe deformations while avoiding mass and energy losses encountered by traditional FEM. The method has been implemented in several commercial finite element packages such as ABAQUS and LS-DYNA for solving problems involving localized severe deformations. Numerous control parameters are present in a typical SPH formulation. The purpose of this work is to evaluate the effect of the three most important parameters, namely, the smoothing length, particle density, and the type of SPH formulation. The effects of these parameters on the chip morphology and stress distribution in the context of orthogonal machining of AISI 1045 steel are investigated. The LS-DYNA finite element package along with Johnson-Cook material model is used for this purpose. Results from the parametric study are presented and compared with the previously reported results in the literature. In addition, the sensitivity of chip morphology and stresses to Johnson-Cook parameters for AISI 1045 steel is also investigated by considering five different sets of values reported in the literature for this steel.

The use of Cutting Fluids (CFs) in machining operations is being increasingly questioned in recent years for environmental and economic reasons, leading to efforts in promoting dry, as well as minimal quantity of lubricant (MQL), machining. However, the tribological effectiveness and thermal aspects of CF action at modern cutting conditions, which not only involve relatively high cutting speeds but also advanced tool coatings and chip-breaking geometric features, need better understanding. This paper presents an experimental investigation into the effects of different CF application methods on various machining performance measures while cutting with commercially available flat-faced, as well as grooved, uncoated and coated cemented tungsten carbide tools. CF effects under dry, flood, and MQL conditions, were gauged through their influence on cutting forces, tool temperatures, tool-chip interfacial contact, and chip morphology during machining of AISI 1045 steel. The results show new trends on the individual cooling and lubricating effects of CF application methods, and the effects of their interactions with the tool coatings and the presence/absence of chip-breaking grooves.
