Finite Element Analysis of Milling Parameters for Metallurgy Saw Blade Cutting Process

Abstract

Unsteadiness of surface quality and accidental vibration are serious problem in metallurgy saw blades cutting process that often lead to lots of waste products or causing tools damage. This paper, using ABAQUS software, develops an FEM model based on the orthogonal-cutting method to investigate the impact of milling parameters upon cutting process. Introducing to the Johnson-Cook thermal visco-plastic affects, the simulation results of the chip morphology and the stress state accord with that in real production. Simulation by varied parameters demonstrate the regularity of cutting force and cutting temperature for the change of cutting speed and cutting thickness of the cutter. And thus, suitable magnitude of cutting parameters are suggested.
