Abstract
Chip formation is a dynamic process that is often non linear in nature. A chip may not form when the depth of cut is less than a minimum chip thickness. This paper presents an investigation of cutting edge radius effect on micromachining AISI D2 tool steel via simulation. The chip growth, chip formation and material deformation mechanism was investigated using commercial finite element analysis software. A model is developed with consideration of the arbitrary LagrangianEulerian (ALE) method. The chip growth, chip formation and material deformation was investigate under three criteria such as a/r<1, a/r>1 and a/r=1. The model showed that the chip is formed at a/r >1 while material extrusion performed under a/r<1.
