Titanium alloys are known for their strong chemical reactivity with surrounding gas due to their high chemical affinity, especially in dry machining. This paper describes a study of chip formation characteristics under nitrogen gas media when machining Ti6Al4V alloy with WC-Co cemented carbide cutting tools at high cutting speeds. Based on the experimental study, a finite element model of two-dimensional orthogonal cutting process for Ti6Al4V alloy at different cutting conditions was developed using a commercial finite element software Deform-2D. Saw-tooth chips with adiabatic shear bands were produced in both experiments and simulations. And the enhanced cooling and anti-frictional effects of nitrogen gas upon the high speed cutting process of Ti6Al4V alloy were analyzed. Results of this investigation indicate that the anti-frictional performance of nitrogen gas has a significant effect on chip formation when machining Ti6Al4V alloy at high cutting speeds. Compared to air, Nitrogen gas is more suitable in improving the contact conditions at chip-tool interfaces and in increasing the shear band frequency of chip formation during high speed cutting of Ti6Al4V alloy.

An orthogonal cutting model was presented,and the cutting process was simulated by a finite element software based on the thermal-elastic-plastic FEM theory and updated Lagrange method.We obtained the distributions of residual stresses in machined layer of NAK80 mold-steel.The effects of cutting speeds,cutting depths and tool geometry on residual stress distributions were investigated. Comparing to experimental results,the conclusions are more accurate.

Application prospect of the high volume fraction SiCp/Al composites becomes increasingly widespread, the study of cutting mechanism is important for achieving its high efficient and precision machining. In this paper, a three-dimensional beveled simulation model of high volume fraction SiCp/Al composites on high-speed milling is established by finite element software ABAQUS, the constitutive on model material, the tool-chip contact and the chip separation model is elected reasonably.The paper analyzes the effect of cutting speed on the chip formation and the stress distribution of the material. The results shows that: with the increasing of cutting speed, the chip is easily broken, cutting speed have little impact on the maximum stress of the material.

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.

A 2D fully thermal mechanical coupled finite element model is applied to study the influence of material parameters on serrate chip formation during high speed cutting process. The serrated chip formation during high speed machining was predicted. Of interests are the effects of thermal conductivity, specific heat and density. Results showed significant influence of these thermophysical parameters on the serrated chip phenomena, especially in the case of the density. Increasing thermal conductivity specific heat and density lead to a decreasing degree of segmentation. The influence of the thermal conductivity on the cutting force and the specific heat on maximum temperatures in the shear band is also discussed.

The Finite Element Method (FEM) has proven to be an effective technique to investigate cutting process so as to improve cutting tool design and select optimum cutting conditions. The present work focuses on the FEM simulation of cutting forces in high speed cutting by using an orthogonal cutting model with variant undeformed chip thickness under plane-strain condition to mimic intermittent cutting process such as milling. High speed cutting of 45%C steel using uncoated carbide tools are simulated as the application of the proposed model. The updated Lagrangian formulation is adopted in the dynamic FEM simulation in which the normalized Cockroft and Latham damage criterion is used as the ductile fracture criterion. The simulation results of cutting force components under different cutting conditions show that both the thrust cutting force and the tangential cutting force increase with the increase in undeformed chip thickness or feed rate, whereas decrease with the increase in cutting speed. Some important aspects of modeling the high speed cutting are discussed as well to expect the future work in FEM simulation.

Enterprise has to reduce time and cost of product development to face global competition. New technologies and machining strategies have been widely adopted in manufacturing enterprise such as high-speed cutting (HSC). Tool wear prediction will be useful for tool management and thus, reducing the manufacturing cost of HSC. This related project is developed at the Institute of Production Management, Technology and Machine Tools (PTW), TU Darmstadt. The aim of the project is to find a solution to predict tool wear by calculation for HSC. This paper focuses on chip formation analysis. Chip geometry will be generated and calculated to estimate tool wear. The paper presents an algorithm to visualize chip geometry for ball end tool and discusses further the parameters features of chip section.
