Multiscale Modeling and Simulation of Microcutting of Titanium Materials (A04)

• Subject Area: Metal-Cutting and Abrasive Manufacturing Engineering
• Term: from 2011 to 2019
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 172116086

The project aims to derive the morphology of micromachined titanium surfaces taking the microstructure into account. For this purpose, the microcutting process will be modeled and simulated by kinematic as well as by finite element simulations, supplemented by experimental results. By combining these different simulation techniques with an appropriate material model, it is possible to analyze for the first time the effect of specific input parameters on the machining results and particularly on the resulting surface morphology.
