Item Simulation and analytical studies of chip formation processes in the cutting zone of titanium alloys(Видавництво Львівської політехніки, 2023-02-28) Stupnytskyy, Vadym; She, Xianning; Dragašius, Egidijus; Baskutis, Saulius; Prodanchuk, Oleh; Lviv Polytechnic National University; Kaunas University of TechnologyThe low machinability of titanium alloys is determined by the physical, mechanical, and chemical properties of these materials and their mechanical characteristics. It is also evident in the hardened state of the material being processed during cutting and in the initial state. This phenomenon is caused by thermodynamic parameters that determine the properties of titanium material at elevated temperatures. The peculiarities of the cutting and chip formation processes during titanium alloy machining are presented in this article. The peculiarity of the described approach is the analysis of the results of simulation modeling of cutting in Deform 2D software. It is proved that the frictional factor in the formation of the thermal characteristics of the cutting process, which arises as a result of the chip sliding along the tool, dominates the load factor (caused by force and deformation processes in the chip root). It has been established that the length of contact between the chips and the tool’s rake face has a certain tendency to change: the contact length first increases and then decreases with increasing cutting speed. An analysis of the dependence of the chip compression ratio on changes in cutting speed has shown that with an increase in cutting speed, the average value of the compression ratio practically does not change, but the amplitude of its oscillation increases significantly, which is equivalent to a change in the shear angle. This parameter changes dynamically due to the adiabatic nature of chip formation.
