Cutting process is a typical non-linear deformation problem, which involves material non-linear, geometry non-linear and the state non-linear problem. Based on the elastic-plastic material deformation theory, this theme established a strain hardening model. Build the simulation model of two-dimensional orthogonal cutting process of workpiece and tool by the finite element method (FEM), and simulate the changes of cutting force and the process of chip formation in the machining process, and analyzed the cutting force, the situation of chip deformation. The method is more efficient and effective than the traditional one, and provides a new way for metal cutting theory, research of material cutting performance and cutting tool product development.

This paper is the latest of a continuing series on the subject of self-excited machine tool chatter. The representation of the metal cutting process as required by the previously developed closed-loop chatter theory is extended to oblique cutting with tools of practical shape and geometry. The cutting process parameters essential to proper application of the stability theory are found by an analytical formulation leading to a classical eigenvalue problem. Techniques are developed to determine the steady-state constant of proportionality between resultant cutting force and uncut chip area, the direction of resultant cutting force, and the direction of maximum cutting stiffness for any single-point cutting operation. In the process, a general method to predict steady-state oblique cutting forces is evolved. The method depends on certain experimentally justifiable assumptions and utilizes previously compiled orthogonal cutting data.

The formation of serrated chips is an important feature during machining of difficult-to-cut materials, such as titanium alloy, nickel based alloy, and some steels. In this study, Ti6Al4V alloys with equiaxial and acicular martensitic microstructures were adopted to analyze the effects of material structures on the formation of serrated chips in straight line micro orthogonal machining. The martensitic alloy was obtained using highly efficient electropulsing treatment (EPT) followed by water quenching. The results showed that serrated chips could be formed on both Ti6Al4V alloys, however the chip features varied with material microstructures. The number of chip segments per unit length of the alloy with martensite was more than that of the equiaxial alloy due to poor ductility. Besides, the average cutting and thrust forces were about 8.41 and 4.53 N, respectively, for the equiaxed Ti6Al4V alloys, which were consistently lower than those with a martensitic structure. The high cutting force of martensitic alloy is because of the large yield stress required to overcome plastic deformation, and this force is also significantly affected by the orientations of the martensite. Power spectral density (PSD) analyses indicated that the characteristic frequency of cutting force variation of the equiaxed alloy ranged from 100 to 200 Hz, while it ranged from 200 to 400 Hz for workpieces with martensites, which was supposedly due to the formation of serrated chips during the machining process.

Materials often behave in a complicated manner involving deeply coupled effects among stress/stain, temperature, and microstructure during a machining process. This paper is concerned with prediction of the phase change effect on orthogonal cutting of American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) 1045 steel based on a true metallo-thermomechanical coupled analysis. A metallo-thermomechanical coupled material model is developed and a finite element model (FEM) is used to solve the evolution of phase constituents, cutting temperature, chip morphology, and cutting force simultaneously using abaqus. The model validity is assessed using the experimental data for orthogonal cutting of AISI 1045 steel under various conditions, with cutting speeds ranging from 198 to 879 m/min, feeds from 0.1 to 0.3 mm, and tool rake angles from −7 deg to 5 deg. A good agreement is achieved in chip formation, cutting force, and cutting temperature between the model predictions and the experimental data.

It has been proposed several times in the metal-cutting literature that the machining process is non-unique and that the instantaneous machining conditions depend on the prior machining conditions (e.g. depth of cut, rake angle etc.). To evaluate the validity of this concept, a series of experiments was conducted using a highly accurate CNC machining center. For these experiments, the machining conditions were changed during the course of an orthogonal cutting experiment in a repeatable manner and the measured forces compared as a function of prior history. Tests were conducted on several tempers of 1100 aluminum and commercial purity zinc to evaluate the effect of material properties on the machining response. It was found that the change in measured cutting forces which could be ascribed to prior machining history was less than 3 percent and that material properties, particularly work hardening response, had no discernible effect on the magnitude of the difference.

Metal-cutting process deals with the removal of material using the shearing operation with the help of hard cutting tools. Machining operations are famous in the manufacturing sector due to their capability to manufacture tight tolerances and high dimensional accuracy while simultaneously maintaining the cost-effectiveness for higher production levels. As metal-cutting processes consume a great amount of input resources and generate some material-based waste streams, these processes are highly criticized due to their high and negative environmental impacts. Researchers in the metal-cutting sector are currently exploring and benchmarking different activities and best practices to make the cutting operation environment friendly in nature. These eco-friendly practices mainly cover the wide range of activities directly or indirectly associated with the metal-cutting operation. Most of the literature for sustainable metal-cutting activities revolves around the sustainable lubrication techniques to minimize the negative influence of cutting fluids on the environment. However, there is a need to enlarge the assessment domain for the metal-cutting process and other directly and indirectly associated practices such as enhancing sustainability through innovative methods for workpiece and cutting tool materials, and approaches to optimize energy consumption should also be explored. The aim of this article is to explore the role of energy consumption and the influence of workpiece and tool materials towards the sustainability of machining process. The article concludes that sustainability of the machining process can be improved by incorporating different innovative approaches related to the energy and tool–workpiece material consumptions.

In order to study the temperature field distribution in the process of machining, the finite element theory was used to establish the orthogonal cutting finite element model, and the key technologies were discussed simultaneously. By using ABAQUS software for cutting AISI1045 steel temperature field of numerical simulation, the conclusion about changing rule of cutting temperature field can be gotten. The results show that this method can efficiently simulate the distribution of temperature field of the workpiece, cutter and scraps, which is effected by thermo-mechanical coupling in metal work process. It provides the theory evidence for the intensive study of metal-cutting principle, optimizing cutting parameters and improving processing technic and so on.

The modern manufacturing industry requires the cutting process to reduce the quantity of pollutants, to ensure the product quality, to make good use of the resource and energy, and to satisfy the need of productivity and economy at the same time. The cutter reasonable selection is one important method of improving cutting capability. Therefore, it can solve efficiently the new problem in machining process to think of synthetic effect with quality, economy, resource and environment at the same time. Furthermore, because the process in metal cutting is variable and the influence of most factors can not be confirmed, the fuzzy assessment based on fuzzy integrate can select more justified cutter in cutting process.

Metal cutting process (cutting process) is to cut metal to get the shape and size and quality of the planned cutting surface. The metal cutting process is carried out with special tools, according to the type of cutting process. So the tools for one process cannot be used in another process, even for similar processes, the tools cannot be exchanged if the cutting plans are not the same. Lathe process is a machining process to produce cylindrical machine parts which are carried out using a Lathe. Its basic form can be defined as the machining process of the outer surface of cylindrical or flat lathe objects. Polyvinyl Chloride, commonly abbreviated as PVC, is the third-order thermoplastic polymer in terms of total usage in the world, after Polyethylene (PE) and Polypropylene (PP). Worldwide, more than 50% of PVC produced is used in construction. PVC is produced by polymerizing vinyl chloride monomers (CH2 = CHCl). Because 57% of its mass is chlorine, PVC is the polymer that uses the lowest petroleum feedstock among other polymers. This research follows up the selection of configuration of the lathe machining process using plastic work pieces. In this study, Maximat V13 lathe and PVC type plastic were used. The variation of machining processes are spindle rotation (320, 540, and 900 rpm), feeding speed (0.07, 0.14, and 0.28), the use of tool types (carbide and HSS) and cooling (without cooling, coolant, and oil). So, with this research, it is expected that the optimal parameters in determining the configuration of the lathe machining process on a PVC work piece to produce a good turning surface can be achieved

In this paper, a two-dimensional orthogonal cutting simulation model of SiCp/Al composite was established. The geometry and material constitutive model of the particle, the matrix, and the interface layer have been modeled respectively. In view of the distribution of the particles in the matrix, this paper proposed respectively a two-dimensional particle random distribution to simulate particles randomly distributed in the matrix. Then, the cutting state of SiC reinforced particles was analyzed, the novel approach was adopted the geometric shapes of SiC particles in this study is taken as an oval shape. Three different locations of SiC particle relative to the cutting tool path were simulated to analyze the cutting state such as particle removal. The interface layer was introduced to the case that the particle was on the cutting path to study the influence on the stress and strain transfer. Through the post-processing of simulation results, the influence of interface property on the composite reinforcement effect was studied quantificationally. Finally, the cutting process of SiCp/Al composite material was simulated. This paper studied the influence on the machined surface morphology, chip morphology, stress distribution, and cutting force of many factors of the cutting speed and the cutting thickness. The single factor orthogonal cutting experiment was designed the influence of cutting speed and feed rate on the cutting force. The cutting force results of the experiment and the simulation were compared through the deviation analysis, which verified the simulation model.
