The Simulation and Experimental Study of Metal Cutting Based on Cold Air Technology
Metal Cutting based on cold air technology is a green manufacturing technology which has the potential of great application prospect. In order to study the influence of cold air technology on metal cutting characteristics, the experiment and FEM simulation of both 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel and 45 steel were performed under three cutting conditions. The results are analyzed to reveal that with cold air technology the temperature of cutting area can be effectively reduced and the tool life, surface roughness and the shape of chip can be significantly improved. The study on metal cutting with cold air technology based on simulation has a relatively high reliability, which provides a novel approach for the research on metal cutting with cold air technology.
