Abstract
An investigation was carried out on the use of extrusion-cutting as a material test method operating at severe conditions of strain, strain-rate and temperature, such as in machining. In extrusion-cutting, a shoe constrains the chip back surface producing a geometrically defined orthogonal cutting process which can be modelled using methods from the theory of plasticity such as, e.g., slip-line and upper-bound. The process was previously proposed for use as a material testing technique to determine the shear flow stress of materials under strains, strain rates and temperatures relevant for analytical modelling of metal cutting. This work represents a new step where the final objective is the generation of stress-strain curves that can be used in analytical models as well as using Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations. A new experimental setup for extrusion-cutting using discs as workpieces was developed and implemented on a CNC lathe. An investigation was carried out extrusion-cutting copper discs using high-speed-steel cutting tools at 100 m/min cutting speed. Flow stress values for copper under machining-relevant conditions were obtained from measurement of the extrusion-cutting force on the tool and application of a simple upper-bound model for the extrusion-cutting process. An attempt to extend the validity of test data to cover a range of cutting conditions was made, and suggestions for improvement of the simple theoretical model given.
