Modeling and Simulation of Turning Operation

Abstract

Turning is one of the metal cutting operation, is most widely used manufacturing technique in the industry and there are lots of studies to investigate this complex process in both academic and industrial world. Metal cutting operations still represent the largest class of manufacturing operations where turning is the most commonly employed material removal process. Advances in CNC/NC machining and high speed machining technologies have boosted the productivity of machining process. One of the state of the art efforts in manufacturing engineering is to use the FEM for simulation of the metal cutting process. Simulation can increase the understanding of the cutting process and reduce the number of experiments. Researchers find these variables by using experimental techniques which makes the investigation very time consuming and expensive. At this point, finite element modeling and simulation becomes main tool. These important cutting variables can be predicted without doing any experiment with finite element method. In this study the metal cutting process is analyzed with FEM model for 3D simulation of turning process with solid single point cutting tool. This tool is modeled with CATIAV5, and exported STL files and imported in DEFORM 3D. [1]

Optimization of Surface Roughness and Material Removal Rate in Turning of AISI D3 Steel with Coated Carbide Inserts

“…In the current scenario, all machining industry has its main focus in achieving high quality surface finish, dimensional accuracy, minimum tool wear, high-production rate and improving performance of product with less effort. Turning plays a very important role in the machining process, however with the turning other processes may also require several tools and for finishing several setup is required [1,2].…”
