Abstract

The work is devoted to the development of a finite element model of machining the workpiece flat surface from gray cast iron with one tooth face oblique milling cutter in the DEFORM-3D software. The model development methodology is described step by step. The preparation peculiarities of solid-state models of workpiece and cutting insert, finite-element mesh generation, as well as preprocessor setup are discussed. It is shown that to save calculation time, it is advisable to develop a 3D model of only a part of the workpiece with a cut from the path of the previous cutter insert, formed using the SolidWorks Motion module. 2 options of a finite element mesh with a different number of elements were considered. In addition, local refinement of the workpiece mesh in the area of interaction with the cutting insert was used. As a result of finite element simulation of the face milling process, the cutting forces in the feed range of 0.25…0.625 mm/tooth, with a cutting speed of 150 m/min and a cutting depth of 0.12 mm were calculated. The adequacy of the developed model is confirmed by comparison with the experimental results for the corresponding processing conditions. The finite element model of the face milling developed in DEFORM-3D will be used to further optimize the geometric parameters of the cutter to increase the efficiency of machining flat surfaces of grey cast iron parts.
