Study on the cutting force of cylindrical turning with novel restricted contact tools

Analysis of cutting force is important in research and development of metal cutting process and in designing cutting tools. This paper reports the theoretical computational formulae for cutting force for cylindrical turning using novel restricted contact tools that have inconstant tool/chip restricted contact length. These formulae are based on the minimum energy principle. The results of extensive cutting tests show that the derived theoretical computational formulae can predict the cutting force, especially the main cutting force, with reasonable accuracy. The novel RC tools-type II and type III can reduce cutting force as well as the conventional RC tools-type I. In addition, they can also effectively control the direction of chip curling, and type III RC tools may have a longer tool life due to the high strength of its cutting edge and the possibility of liquid coolant approaching the cutting zone. Finite element models have been developed to study the cutting force, and the results indicate that the main cutting force can be accurately predicted, while there are some inaccuracies for the feed force and thrust force because of the simplifications adopted during modeling.
