Abstract

This paper describes how to use Deform-3D software to create a turning process model that can be used to simulate the turning on AISI 1025 carbon steel and Al6061 billets in industrial and automotive applications. The Deform-3D Software is used to build a 3D Finite Element turning model. Pre-processing, Simulation, and Post-processing are all modules that can be used to simulate. Tool and workpiece information, as well as appropriate necessary parameters, were taken into account in the software’s Pre Processing module. Simulation was performed at two different rotational speeds for two different materials using with and without titanium nitride coated tungsten carbide tool. After 1000 steps of simulation, results such as damage, effective strain, effective stress, total velocity, total displacement, and Temperature are reported from the Post Processing module. From results, comparative analysis will be carried out on performance characteristics at different rotational speeds. During the turning process, to accurately predict metal removal Deform 3D software is used for finite element simulation.
