Abstract

Residual stress is an important surface integrity descriptor that may have a marked effect on the functional performance of machined alloy parts. This paper describes a finite element evaluation of the effect of different constitutive models on machining induced residual stresses for Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. A two dimensional orthogonal turning process is modelled and the results compared to experimental data. Residual stress is evaluated with respect to different elastic-viscoplastic constitutive models at certain cutting speeds and feeds. The general-purpose finite element code MSC Marc@ was used with comparisons with experimental data made relative to residual stress, cutting force and temperature. The magnitude and extent (depth) of the residual stress field is evaluated with regards to the different material models and compared with experimental data.
