Modelling Subsurface Deformation in High Speed Machining of Inconel 718

Summary, in English

Abstract in Undetermined
Traditionally, the development and optimization of the machining process with regards to the sub-surface deformation is done through experimental method which is often expensive and time consume. This paper presents the development of a FE-simulation model to predict the depth of sub-surface deformation induced in the high speed machining of Inconel 718 by use of whisker-reinforced ceramic tool. The effects of cutting parameters and geometry on sub-surface deformation will be simulated by developed FE model. In addition to FE model, the experimental study was made to validate the results of FE model. Characterization of sub-surface deformation produced under different machining parameters and tool conditions was made by EBSD and in the cutting and feed directions.
