Abstract
This paper presents a model for assessing the performance of self-propelled rotary tool during the processing of hardened steel. A finite element (FE) model has been proposed in this analysis to study the hard turning of AISI 51200 hardened steel using a self-propelled rotary cutting tool. The model is developed by utilizing the explicit coupled temperature displacement analysis in the presence of realistic boundary conditions. This model does not take into account any assumptions regarding the heat partitioning and the tool-workpiece contact area. The model can predict the cutting forces, chip flow, induced stresses, and the generated temperature on the cutting tool and the workpiece. The nodal temperatures and heat flux data from the chip formation analysis are used to achieve steady-state temperatures on the cutting tool in the heat transfer analysis. The model outcomes are compared with reported experimental data and a good agreement has been found.
