Prediction of Cutting Forces at 2D Titanium Machining

The paper presents aspects related to simulation for optimization of metal cutting for titanium and its alloys. Due to the corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength and low density, titanium and its alloys are currently attractive materials in the industry. For simulations, the software based on finite element method - DEFORM 2D© - was used. Cutting process simulations were made for several materials, in the same cutting conditions. Some of the obtained results are presented. Conclusions are presented in terms of comparison.
