Abstract

The aim of this project is to study the residual stresses generated in the 4142 alloy steel after straight turning with customized tungsten carbides. The main intent of this proposal is to predict the residual stress generated on the machined workpiece surface, studying the insert geometries influence on the machining behavior and modeling the project by an initial artificial intelligence algorithm. As a suggestion for following research, it will create possible discussions and further studies on this topic, determining the capacity and importance of this analysis. To list the stakeholders involved in this project, Mateus Keniti (master degree student), Armando Antonialli (associate professor), João Fontes (assistant professor) and other staff at Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), Brazil; Joel Rech (full professor) and other staff at École Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Saint-Étienne from the École Centrale de Lyon. This project is expected to occur in the months of September, October, and November 2023. It may be divided into two parts: i. Measurement of residual stress after straight turning in the workpiece; ii. Analysis of the variation on the residual stresses produced and application of an Artificial Intelligence (AI) capable of determining the best geometry parameters for this study. (AU)
