Résumé

Abstract Cutting force is a very important parameter, which can be used to determine tool geometry and its interaction with the workpiece. This work presents some orthogonal cutting AISI 4340 hardened steel workpiece. Comparison with experimental results are also carried out. The simulation considers the thermal effect caused by material deforming and friction between tool, workpiece and chips. The main parameters changed during the simulations are the cutting speed and the feed rate. As results, the simulated cutting forces showed an error around 5% and the simulated feed forces about 27% when compared to the experimental values
