description

Numerical simulation of cutting processes is still a very difficult matter, although some relevant geometrical simplifications and high-performance codes are used. A large number of technical papers have been focused on the predictive capability of the codes: nevertheless the prediction quality is not very satisfactory if the problem is analyzed in a wide sense. In this paper the simple orthogonal cutting process of a plain-carbon steel is investigated taking into account different process conditions (cutting speed and feed rate). Furthermore, four material constitutive equations and three friction models were implemented and a sensitivity analysis was carried out comparing the numerical predictions and the experimental evidences. The results of this wide analysis are described in the paper.
