Turning experiments were conducted with cutting speeds: 250, 300, 350 m/min, feeds: 0.15, 0.2, 0.25 mm/rev and depth ...

Finite element analysis based techniques are available to simulate cutting processes and offer several advantages including prediction of tool forces, distribution of stresses and temperatures, estimation of tool wear and residual stresses on machined surfaces, optimization of cutting tool geometry and cutting conditions. However, work material flow stress and friction characteristics at cuttin...
