In this paper, 3-D Finite Element Method (FEM) based numerical modelling of precision hard turning has been studied to investigate the effects of chamfered edge geometry on tool forces, temperatures and stresses in machining of AISI 52100 steel using low-grade polycrystalline cubic boron nitrite (PCBN) inserts. An Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) based numerical modelling is employed for 3-D...
