Large-scale investigation of dry orthogonal cutting experiments Ti6Al4V and Ck45.

Unlabelled: The numerical simulation of metal cutting processes requires material data for constitutive equations, which cannot be obtained with standard material testing procedures. Instead, inverse identifications of material parameters within numerical simulation models of the cutting experiment itself are necessary. This report presents the findings from a large-scale study of dry orthogonal cutting experiments on Ti6Al4V (Grade 5) and Ck45 (AISI 1045). It includes material characterization through microstructural analysis and tensile tests. The study details the measurement of cutting insert geometries and cutting edge radii, evaluates process forces, deduces friction coefficients and coefficients for Kienzle's force model, and analyzes chip forms and thicknesses as well as built-up edge formation depending on the process parameters. The collected data, stored in pCloud, can support other researchers in the field, e.g. for recomputations within numerical models or inverse parameter identifications. The dataset includes force measurements, cutting edge scans, and chip images including longitudinal cross-sections of chips.
