Semi-analytical prediction of flank tool wear in orthogonal cutting of aluminum

Abstract EN

This study aims to model the flank wear prediction equation in metal cutting, depending on the workpiece material properties and almost cutting conditions.

A new method of energy transferred solution between the cutting tool and workpiece was introduced through the flow stress of chip formation by using the Johnson-Cook model.

To investigate this model, an orthogonal cutting test coupled with finite element analysis was carried out to solve this model and finding a wear coefficient of cutting 6061-T6 aluminum and the given carbide tool.
