Abstract :
The extensive research studies are used to divination the behavior of complex Metal cutting processes. The cutting parameters such as speed, feed and force play important role on conform chip morphology. The experimental techniques for investigation the chip morphology is expensive and time consuming. To overcome these difficulties Finite element modeling and simulation process are used as effective tool to divination the effect of cutting variables. In the present study FEA simulation process model is developed to divination the chip morphology and cutting forces in turning of Al-6061 with WC tool. Johnson cook material models are considered for visco-elastic material behavior. The obtained simulation process results are compared with experimental process results.
