Abstract
Physical modeling of metal cutting was carried out to provide an understanding and prediction of machining process details. The models are based on finite element analysis (FEA), using a Lagrangian formulation with explicit dynamics. Requirements for material constitutive models are discussed in the context of high-speed machining. Model results address metal cutting characteristics such as segmented chip formation, dynamic cutting forces, unconstrained plastic flow of material during chip formation, and thermomechanical environments of the work-piece and the cutting tool. Examples are presented for aerospace aluminum and titanium alloys. The results are suited for analysis of key process issues of cutting tool performance, including tool geometry, tool sharpness, workpiece material buildup, and tool wear.Keywords
