Finite Element Method and Experimental Investigation of Hot Turning of Inconel 718
In the present work, a finite element modeling of hot turning has been carried out for predicting computationally the state variables like temperature distribution on chip surface and cutting forces in hot machining of Inconel 718. The hot turning operation has been carried out with L9 orthogonal design of experiment (DOE) with varying cutting speed, feed rate, heating temperature and constant depth of cut to analyze the responses. The model predicts the temperature distribution, cutting forces with and without heating. DEFORM 2D is applied for modeling hot turning simulation as similar as possible to the experimental result. Flow stress and input parameters should be modeled according to the actual machining conditions. The predicting results i.e. cutting forces and temperature distribution were partially validated with the experimental data.
