With the development of engineering technology, FEM can be used to simulate metal machining process and gain better understanding of material flow within dies, so as to optimize tooling to eliminate tears, laps and other forging defects. In this paper, numerical simulation was conducted by using FEM software on the whole cutting process for TC4 alloy mounting parts in an effort to investigate the metal flow behavior. The thermal simulation results obtained were compared with the cutting temperature and discussed in terms of literature data.
