Abstract

Abstract

Inconel 718 alloy is considered a typical difficult-to-machine material. The cutting simulation and experimental research of Inconel 718 alloy were conducted through the design of three different shapes of micro-weave on the front face of the tool: square, round, and triangular. The influence of the shape of the micro-weave on the machining performance of Inconel 718 was explored, and the material removal process, stress distribution, chip morphology, and cutting force during the cutting process were analyzed. The change rule of these aspects was passively observed and documented. The results show that compared with ordinary tools, microtextured tools can effectively reduce the cutting force, reduce the tool-chip contact length and improve the friction of the tool. In addition, the phenomenon of secondary cutting in the cutting process was discussed, the mechanism of secondary cutting was analyzed, a method to inhibit secondary cutting through force analysis was propose, and the reliability of the method was verified by using experiments and finite element simulation.
