The consequences of the emergence of shear localized chips are fluctuations in the machining forces, tool wear, deterioration of the surface quality and out-of-tolerance machined components. Several constitutive material models are developed for the simulation of shear localization during machining, especially for Ti6Al4V. However, the accuracy and capability of the proposed models for the prediction of shear localization onset have not been investigated yet. In this study, the effect of different constitutive material models in the prediction of shear localization onset has been investigated. Different material models are studied including the Johnson-Cook (J-C) material model with Cockcroft-Latham damage model, J-C material model with a J-C damage model, models based on modified J-C material models (MJ-C) with strain softening terms, and material model with power-law type strain hardening and strain rate sensitivity, with polynomial thermal softening and polynomial temperature-dependent damage. The results of the finite element models are verified using orthogonal cutting experiments in terms of chip morphology and machining forces. Metallography techniques are used along with SEM observations to elucidate the distinction between continuous and shear localized chips. The results of this study indicate that three models are capable of predicting shear localization onset. However, when compared to the experiments, where a critical cutting speed of 2.8 m/min is obtained for shear localization onset, the results revealed that the model proposed by Sima and Ozel (2016) which is a model based on MJ-C model with temperature-dependent overarching modifier and temperature-dependent material model parameters is more accurate for the prediction of shear localization onset during machining Ti6Al4V. This model is shown to reveal a good prediction for the machining forces as well.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessFinite element methodShear localizationConstitutive material modelTi6Al4VArticleQ1Q1104WOS:000567869400005
