Finite Element Analysis of Tool Stresses, Temperature and Prediction of Cutting Forces in Turning Process

Abstract

The paper presents the simulation model of turning the process of C45 non-alloy steel with a tool made of carbide insert. A 3D final element model used a lagrangian incremental type and re-meshing chip separation criterion was experimentally verified by measure cutting forces using piezoelectric dynamometer. In addition, stresses and temperature in the tooltip were predicted and examine. This work could investigate failure the tooltip, which would be great interest to predict wear and damage of cutting tool.
