This thesis presents an experimental study about the specific cutting energy and its relation with cutting parameters, geometrical and tribological characteristics of tools, and workpiece material. Depth of cut, cutting speed, tool nose radius, chip-breaker geometry, tool coating, hardness, microstructure and chemical composition of the workpiece material are some investigated variables. The following workpiece materials were tested: SAE 1213, 1020, 1045, annealed and tempered ASTM H13 steels, and 2024 aluminum alloy. The specific cutting energy values were measured by using a Charpy machine instrumented through piezoelectric dynamometer and incremental optical encoder. Several results could be compared to ones from instrumented CNC lathe and machining center. Tests under HSM condition were carried out in machine-tools. All researched variables have influence over specific cutting energy. The depth of cut rise in 2.3x caused a decrease of specific cutting energy around 21% when machining 2024 aluminum alloy. The elevation of the cutting speed about 70% leaded to reduction of specific cutting energy around 24% when machining SAE 1020 steel. The tool geometry present more influence on specific cutting energy under conventional cutting speed than at high speed cutting. Small variations of tool chip-breaker geometries caused diminution of the specific cutting energy up to 29% for conventional cutting speed, and 14% on average for HSM condition when machining tempered ASTM H13 steel. Various specific cutting energy results obtained from the Charpy test proposed by this work presented a good concordance with equivalent ones provided by scientific literature (AU) | |
