Abstract

The nano-cutting process of metallic glass (Zr52Cu20Ni16Ni12) processed at room temperature was studied by molecular dynamics simulation in this paper. At different cutting speeds, the microstructure of metallic glass, cutting force, strain morphology of cutting zone, temperature change of cutting zone and its influence on the quality of machined surface were analyzed. The simulation results show that the cutting speed has little effect on the content of Voronoi polyhedron in the cutting area of metallic glass. The cutting force increases significantly with the increase of cutting speed. The shape of strain deformation in the cutting zone of metallic glass material is significantly affected by the cutting speed, and the influence depth of strain is deepened with the increase of cutting speed. The increase of cutting speed has a significant effect on the temperature of the cutting zone of metallic glass, and the temperature of atoms in the cutting zone increases rapidly. The cutting speed has a significant impact on the surface quality of metal glass cutting. The surface quality of metal glass cutting becomes worse with the increase of cutting speed. In particular, the initial stage of plastic deformation in metal glass cutting process is simulated and analyzed, and the formation and evolution of its shear band and free volume are simulated and studied.
