A New Procedure to Increase the Orthogonal Cutting Machining Time Simulated

In this context, the main purpose of the proposed research work is to develop a FEM model, based on the commercial code ABAQUS©, to simulate wear phenomenon of tool insert in the case of orthogonal cutting operation.The present research exposes a lagrangian approach simulating the chip formation in the case of AISI 4140 machining.A strategy that aims to reach high machining time simulated with moderate computational time is presented. It is based on ensuring the thermal continuity of the tool from one calculation to another.A considerable gain of calculation time is achieved comparing to the most common models developed on ABAQUS©.
