Effect of the Cutting Velocity and Heat Treatment on Turning Cutting Forces of an SMA Cu-Al-Be Alloys

Abstract:

This work studies the effect of heat treatment and cutting velocities on machining cutting forces in turning of a Cu-11.8%Al-0.55%Be shape memory alloys. The heat treatment was performed to obtain samples with austenite and martensite microstructures. Cutting force was investigated using a 3-component dynamometer in several revolutions and data were analyzed using statistic tools. It was found that the resultant forces were higher in quenched alloy due to the presence of Shape Memory Effect. Chip formation occurred in a shorter time in the sample without the Shape Memory Effect.
