Abstract

Previous studies have reported significant differences in the Johnson-Cook (J-C) parameters of Ti6Al4V alloy. Thus, various serrated chip morphologies, cutting forces, and cutting temperatures are obtained when different constitutive parameters are used for numerical and simulation analyses, which decreases the reliability of the simulation model. Therefore, it is necessary to inves-tigate and analyze simulation errors due to differences in the J-C parameters. In this study, the mechanism of the serrated chip formation of Ti6Al4V is thoroughly analyzed using the uniformly proportional J-C parameters. The serrated chip sensitivity, shear band spacing, serrated segmenta-tion frequency, chip serration intensity, temperature field, strain energy, and cutting force is obtained. This study aims to improve the accuracy and reliability of the micro-cutting simulation mod-els, as well as a reference for the selection of J-C constitutive parameters of simulation with Ti6Al4V manufactured with different heat treatments and additive manufacturing.
