Abstract
Inconel 718 superalloy is one of the difficult-to-machine materials which is employed widely in aerospace industries because of its superior properties such as heat-resistance, high melting temperature, and maintenance of strength and hardness at high temperatures. Material behavior of the Inconel 718 is an important challenge during finite element simulation of the machining process because of the mentioned properties. In this regard, various constants for Johnson–Cook’s constitutive equation have been reported in the literature. Owing to the fact that simulation of machining process is very sensitive to the material model, in this study the effect of different flow stresses were investigated on outputs of the orthogonal cutting process of Inconel 718 alloy. For each model, the predicted results of cutting forces, chip geometry and temperature were compared with experimental results of the previous work at the different feed rates. After comparing the results of the different models, the most suitable Johnson–Cook’s material model was indentified. Obtained results showed that the selected material model can be used reliably for machining simulation of Inconel 718 superalloy.
