2D FEM Estimate of Tool Wear in Hard Cutting Operation: Tool Wear and Simulation of Hard Cutting Process under Steady State

Article Preview

Abstract:

Tool wear plays an important role in cutting process research. It affects the quality of machined surface and cutting parameter to a great extent, such as cutting force, cutting temperature and cutting quiver. In order to predict tool wear in hard cutting process by using FEM method, the character of tool wear during cutting process is presented firstly, and Usui’s tool wear rate model is introduced. Then the FEM model for steady state cutting process using Abaqus is established. FEM model describes the workpiece material characteristic accurately for the process of PCBN tool cutting GCr15 by adoptiving Johnson-Cook constitutive model. Simulation results of steady cutting process offer foundation to simulate tool wear.
