SPH Meshless Simulation of Orthogonal Cutting of AA6060-T6

Abstract:

A modern meshless method known as Smooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) was involved in achieving numerical simulation of chip formatting during the orthogonal cutting of AA6060-T6 alloy with the aim of finding a convenient method for investigating the chip formation and reducing the costs of experimental research by involving numerical simulation in order to get information about the parameters describing the process. Based on a few experimental orthogonal cutting results the procedure to achieve a proper numerical simulation of the chip formation process is presented. The procedure and the results may be applied when simulation data and prognosis data about machining AA6060-T6 data are needed.
