Abstract:

In this paper, a single-point cutting tool-tip is subjected to various thermal and static loads at the tool interface with the workpiece. The machining of mild steel is analyzed for surface finish of the workpiece, metal removal rate, forces generated, deformation/ temperature generated, tool life using ANSYS so as to arrive at an appropriate cutting tool, and machining parameters. An algorithm has been developed to collect the data based on user-specified workpiece material and tool data from libraries. The parameters - feed rate and back rake angles are varied to suggest the best cutting tool/ signature using Python coding.

Keywords:

Cutting tool, ANSYS, metal removal rate, deformation, algorithm
