Finite Element Modelling and Analysis of Hot Turning Operation

Abstract

There is a need for materials of high hardness and resistance to cutting. As we know the machining of these materials has always been a great challenge. Machining of these alloys and materials required for cutting high-strength, which sometimes is not economical and sometimes even impractical. And even the non-conventional processes are generally limited to the point of view of productivity. The advantages of easy component manufacturing of excessive hard materials can be substantial in terms of reducing costs and lead times machined compared to the traditional one involves the heat treatment, grinding and manual finishing / polishing. In the hot working at a temperature of workpiece is increased so as to reduce its shear strength. This paper will focus on hot working of high manganese steel with petroleum fuel. Several parameters, such as cutting speed, feed, depth of cut and the temperature of the workpiece are taken. An experiment was conducted. Even the machining process was simulated in ANSYS and DEFORM 2D to find corresponding deformation, rate of tool wear, cutting force and the temperature distribution.
