The Forming Mechanism of Surface Defects on Machined Surface in High-Speed Cutting of SiCp/Al Composites

Abstract

For investigating the machined surface defects in high-speed cutting of SiCp/Al composites. The simulation and experiment of high-speed cutting process is done. The simulation of high-speed cutting process using the Cowper-Symonds model is established to explore the forming mechanism of the machined surface defects. The results show that the machined surface defects include small pit, big pit, groove and the raised particle. The experiment which uses the same cutting parameters with the simulation of FEM (Finite Element Method) model is carried out to verify the results of FEM simulation. The results indicate that the forming mechanism of machined surface defects prove to be true.
