Compared with conventional turning (CT), ultrasonic aided turning (UAT) demonstrates many advantages in turning of hardened steel. In the paper, UAT is studied with finite element (FE) simulations and compared with conventional hard turning according to simulation results. Based on the thermo-elastic-plastic finite element equation for simulating the metal orthogonal cutting process, the paper introduces two-dimensional thermomechanically coupled FE models with and without ultrasonic assistance by means of MSC.MARC FE software. And the differences of cutting force and temperature distribution in the process zone between conventional and ultrasonic hard turning are investigated. Research results show that the mean cutting force and temperature in UAT are smaller than those in CT, UAT is an suitable method for precision turning of hardened steel.

The results reported in this paper pertain to the simulation of high speed hard turning when using the finite element method. In recent years high speed hard turning has emerged as a very advantageous machining process for cutting hardened steels. Among the advantages of this modern turning operation are final product quality, reduced machining time, lower cost and environmentally friendly characteristics. For the finite element modelling a commercial programme, namely the Third Wave Systems AdvantEdge, was used. This programme is specially designed for simulating cutting operations, offering to the user many designing and analysis tools. In the present analysis orthogonal cutting models are proposed, taking several processing parameters into account; the models are validated with experimental results from the relevant literature and discussed. Additionally, oblique cutting models of high speed hard turning are constructed and discussed. From the reported results useful conclusions may be drawn and it can be stated that the proposed models can be used for industrial application.

As an advanced manufacturing technology which has been developed rapidly in recent years, high speed machining is widely applied in many industries. The chip formation during high speed machining is a complicated material deformation and removing process. In research area of high speed machining, the prediction of chip morphology is a hot and difficult topic. A finite element method based on the software ABAOUS which involves Johnson-Cook material model and fracture criterion was used to simulate the serrated chip morphology and cutting force during high speed cutting of AISI 1045 hardened steel. The serrated chip morphology and cutting force were observed and measured by high speed cutting experiment of AISI 1045 hardened steel. The effects of rake angle on cutting force, sawtooth degree and space between sawteeth were discussed. The investigation indicates that the simulation results are consistent with the experiments and this finite element simulation method presented can be used to predict the chip morphology and cutting force accurately during high speed cutting of hardened steel.

Background: Finite element simulation has become an important method for the mechanism research of metal machining in recent years. Objective: To study the cutting mechanism of hardened 45 steel (45HRC), and improve the processing efficiency and quality. Methods: A 3D oblique finite element model of traditional turning of hardened 45 steel based on ABAQUS was established in this paper. The feasibility of the finite element model was verified by experiment, and the influence of cutting parameters on cutting force was predicted by single factor experiment and orthogonal experiment based on simulation. Finally, the empirical formula of cutting force was fitted by MATLAB. Besides, a lot of patents on 3D finite element simulation for metal machining were studied. Results: The results show that the 3D oblique finite element model can predict three direction cutting force, the 3D chip shape, and other variables of metal machining and the prediction errors of three direction cutting force are 5%, 9.02%, and 8.56%. The results of single factor experiment and orthogonal experiment are in good agreement with similar research, which shows that the model can meet the needs for engineering application. Besides, the empirical formula and the prediction results of cutting force are helpful for the parameters optimization and tool design. Conclusion: A 3D oblique finite element model of traditional turning of hardened 45 steel is established, based on ABAQUS, and the validation is carried out by comparing with experiment.

Element Simulation

For the high speed cutting process of hardened 45 steel (45HRC), a finite element simulation of cutting deformation, cutting force and cutting temperature is finished with the large general finite element software ABAQUS. Through the building of geometry model, material model and heat conduction model, also the determination of boundary conditions, separation rule and friction condition, a thermal mechanical coupling finite element model of high speed cutting for hardened 45 steel is built. The serrated chip, cutting force and cutting temperature can be predicted. The comparison of experiment and simulation shows the validity of the model. The influence of cutting parameters on cutting process is investigated by the simulation under different cutting depthes and rake angles. The results show that as the increase of rake angle, the segment degree, cutting force and cutting temperature decrease. But the segment degree, also the cutting force and cutting temperature increase with the increase of cutting depth. This study is useful for the selection of cutting parameters of hardened steel.

Based on metal cutting theory and the key technology of finite element simulation, this paper uses finite element software Deform to establish three-dimensional finite element simulation model and simulate cutting process. This paper uses the work piece material is IN718 high temperature alloys packaged in Deform, and analyzes the processing characteristics of high temperature, choosing the right tools and cutting dosages to simulate. Through the simulation we can get scraps forming process, the surface stress, strain, temperature and cutting force distribution of the workpiece and the tool. We can also get the change rule of cutting force and cutting temperature under the different cutting parameters. The simulation results provide the theoretical basis for the optimization of cutting parameter selection in production practice.
