Molecular Dynamics Simulation of a Cutting Method by Making Use of Localized Hydrostatic Pressure

Abstract:

This study aims to develop a cutting method, which enables to generate a localized hydrostatic pressure field in the vicinity of cutting zone in order to improve the machined surface integrity without causing unnecessary plastic deformation. In the previous work, a molecular dynamics simulation was performed using a newly developed cutting tool equipped with a planer jig with a rectangular hole for the cutting chip elimination, and it was confirmed that the developed cutting tool has advantages in giving a relatively high-hydrostatic stress field in the vicinity of the cutting zone and in suppressing the burr formation. In this report, further molecular dynamics simulation was performed in order to clarify the influence of jig shape on the cutting phenomena and machined surface integrity. As a result, it is found that a cutting tool of which front and side except for the rectangular hole are covered by the planer jig is the most advantageous for supplying high hydrostatic pressure and suppressing burr formation.
