Computer Simulation of AISI D2 Orthogonal Cutting Using Finite Element Method

Abstract:

This paper presented a finite element simulation model for the analysis of AISI D2 orthogonal cutting process using TiAlN coated inserts. Firstly, AISI D2 material constitutive model was built based on power law model, which was used in the FEM codes to describe the effect of strain, strain rate and temperature on the material flow stress. In modeling the chip formation, a damage model was employed to predict the chip separation. Then cutting edge radius and thickness of TiAlN coating of cutting tool were measured by SEM. Friction coefficients of cutting tool against AISI D2 steel were obtained by ball-on-plate friction tests on UMT-2 high speed tribometer. Finally, finite element simulations of AISI D2 orthogonal cutting processes were performed using AdvantedgeTM software. The simulated results of cutting forces and chip morphology showed good agreement with the experimental results, which validated the reliability of the cutting process simulation method.
