This paper presents a study the effect of nose radius
(Rzmm) on cutting force components and temperatures during the
machining simulation in an orthogonal cutting process for titanium
alloy (Ti6Al4V). The cutting process was performed at various
nose radiuses (Rzmm) while the depth of cut (dmm), feed rate (fmm
tooth) and cutting speed (vcm min) were remained constant.
The main cutting force (Fc), feed cutting force (Ft) and temperatures
were estimated by using finite element modeling (FEM) through
ABAQUSEXPLICIT software and the simulation was developed the
twodimension via an orthogonal cutting process during machining
titanium alloy (Ti6Al4V). The results led to the conclusion that the
nose radius (Rzmm) has affected directly on the cutting force
components. However, temperature gave no indication or has no
significant relation with nose radius during machining titanium alloy
(Ti6Al4V). Hence, any increase or decrease in the nose radius (Rzmm)
during machining operation led to effect on the cutting forces
and thus it will be effective on surface finish, quality, and quantity of
products.
