Finite Element Simulation for Titanium Alloy Cutting by Bio-Mimetic Wear-Resistant Cutter

Abstract:

Bionics research finds that the non-smooth morphology surfaces of some typical animals can reduce the forward resistances in the movement process. We can imitate these characteristics to reduce the machine tool wear during the machining process, which greatly promotes the machining and production procedure. Using the finite element simulation method, the effect of TC4 bio-mimetic wear-resistant cutter on cutting force, cutting temperature and micro-process were researched in-depth. The results verified the effect of bionic wear-resistant tool on the anti-friction process of metal cutting. On the other hand, we discussed the relationship between the effect and parameter of the tool surface non-smooth morphology is not smooth. Also, this paper revealed the basic principles of bionic wear-resisting tool anti-friction, which provides guidance for the selection of non-smooth morphology.
