The Simulation Analysis of Friction Effect on Cutting Process

Adopted the Lagrange quality point coordinate system description method used the FEM analysis software, the reasonable two-dimension heat-mechanic coupling orthogonal cutting model is established in this paper, which uses the ameliorated Coulomb friction theory to simulate the friction status between the chips and tools. This paper simulates the cutting process with different friction coefficient. It can draw conclusions that the cutting forces and the residual stresses of machined surface are increasing with the raising of touching length of rake face and chip, the raising of cutting temperature. The friction coefficient has the important effect on the machining quality.
