In this paper, a finite element model of a two-dimensional orthogonal metal cutting process is used to simulate the chip formation, cutting forces, stress, strain and temperature distributions. Two deformable parts are involved in this model: the workpiece and the cutting tool. To make the results of the simulation agree the orthogonal cutting test better, the separation surface between the chip and the machined surface is not predefined in this simulation. The chip-separation criterion is based on the Johnson and Cook law. This work will help as a reference to tackle more complex cutting processes such as oblique and discontinuous cutting.

A finite element model of orthogonal metal cutting is described. The paper introduces a new chip separation criterion based on the effective plastic strain in the workpiece. Several cutting parameters that are often neglected in simplified metal-cutting models are included, such as elastic-plastic material properties of both the workpiece and tool, friction along the tool rake face, and geometry of the cutting edge and workpiece. The model predicts chip geometry, residual stresses in the workpiece, and tool stresses and forces, without any reliance on empirical metal cutting data. The paper demonstrates that use of a chip separation criterion based on effective plastic strain is essential in predicting chip geometry and residual stresses with the finite element method.

An orthogonal cutting model was presented to simulate high-speed machining (HSM) process based on metal cutting theory and finite element method (FEM). The residual stresses in the machined surface layer were obtained with various cutting speeds using finite element simulation. The variations of residual stresses in the cutting direction and beneath the workpiece surface were studied. It is shown that the thermal load produced at higher cutting speed is the primary factor affecting the residual stress in the machined surface layer.

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 purpose of this paper is to compare different simulation model of orthogonal cutting process using three different FEM commercial codes as well as with the results of orthogonal experiment. For one thing, element type, boundary condition and friction model between the chip and tool commercial have been compared when the numerical model established in implicit finite element code, Deform3D and the explicit code ANSYS/LS-DYNA and Thirdwave AdvantEdge. For another, main and thrust cutting forces, shear angles, chip thicknesses and contact lengths by three codes are compared with the orthogonal metal cutting experiment by Movahhedy and Altintas.

A coupled thermo-mechanical model of plane-strain orthogonal metal cutting including burr formation is presented using the commercial finite element code. A simulation procedure based on Normalized Cockroft-Latham damage criterion is proposed for the purpose of better understanding the burr formation mechanism and obtaining a quantitative analysis of burrs at exit. The cutting process is simulated from the transient initial chip formation state to the steady-state of cutting, and then to tool exit transient chip flow, by incrementally advancing the cutting tool. The effects of cutting condition on the non-steady-state chip flow while tool exit can be investigated using the developed finite element model.

This paper presented a finite element simulation model for the analysis of AISI D2 orthogonal cutting process using TiAlN coated inserts. Firstly, AISI D2 material constitutive model was built based on power law model, which was used in the FEM codes to describe the effect of strain, strain rate and temperature on the material flow stress. In modeling the chip formation, a damage model was employed to predict the chip separation. Then cutting edge radius and thickness of TiAlN coating of cutting tool were measured by SEM. Friction coefficients of cutting tool against AISI D2 steel were obtained by ball-on-plate friction tests on UMT-2 high speed tribometer. Finally, finite element simulations of AISI D2 orthogonal cutting processes were performed using AdvantedgeTM software. The simulated results of cutting forces and chip morphology showed good agreement with the experimental results, which validated the reliability of the cutting process simulation method.
