Mechanical behavior of materials in metal cutting operations, a review

Abstract

Material properties of the machined parts are changed in metal cutting operations due to generated heat and friction in
chip formation process. Temperature distributions in cutting zone can be analyzed to prevent the cutting tool failure in
machining operations. Stress and strain rate in metal cutting condition, residual stress in the machined parts can be
predicted and analyzed in virtual environments in order to increase performances of produced parts in actual working
conditions. Material removal rate can be increased due to Simulation and analysis of the friction, flow stress and chip
formation process in metal cutting operations. To prevent the workpiece deformation as well as tool deflection error in
machining operation, cutting forces can be predicted and analyzed. To increase accuracy in process of part production using
machining operation, deformation of workpiece due to applied forces can be analyzed and decreased. Machining
operations of hard to cut materials is investigated in order to increase surface roughness of produced parts and cutting tool
life in machining operations. In this paper, a review in mechanical behavior of materials during machining operations is
presented and future research works are also suggested. It has been observed that the research filed can be moved forward
by reviewing and analyzing recent achievements in the published papers.
