Prediction of Adiabatic Shear Critical Cutting Conditions of hardened AISI 1045 Steel with Different Hardness
A method for building the constitutive relationship based on the J-C model and hardness is presented through considering the influence of hardness on the yield strength and the tensile strength. A constitutive relationship of hardened AISI 1045 is built by this method and the adiabatic shear critical cutting conditions of three kinds of hardness AISI 1045 steel are prediction through a model building by the linear pertubation analysis which considering the influence of compression stress of the primary shear zone, the cutting conditions and the constitutive relationship. For proving the prediction results, some orthogonal cutting experiments are performed to get the critical cutting conditions of adiabatic shear. The comparison shows that the prediction results are consistent with that of experiments.
