Abstract

Development of advanced or new cutting tool has gained attention among the research community nowadays. Due to environmental obligation, researchers are working on hybrid machining processes without cutting fluids to improve sustainability. The effect of micro-dimple-textured tool on turning of Ti–6Al–4V alloy is assessed by considering cutting force, chip morphology and chip flow angle using finite element method (FEM) in the current study. The machining simulations are performed for both flat and textured tool using DEFORM software. The simulation results show that machinability of textured tool increased (maximum reduction 16, 30 and 12% in cutting surface roughness and chip thickness, respectively) as compared to the flat tool. The simulated results are validated by performing experimental runs, and significant coherence (error % < 10) is obtained.
