Evaluation of a cutting simulation using a cupronickel B10 constitutive model considering the deformation temperature

Cupronickel B10—an important material widely used in the aero industry—has excellent mechanical and physical properties, such as corrosion resistance and ductility. The present study conducted a quasi-static test and split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) test to obtain the quasi-static and dynamic mechanical properties of cupronickel B10, respectively. In these two experiments, the parameters needed for material constitutive models in cutting simulation are derived. However, the impact deformation temperature in the SHPB experiment has long been ignored, resulting in insufficient simulation accuracy. Hence, the impact deformation temperature is referenced to modify material constitutive models. Simulation results of the models are validated in orthogonal cutting experiments. Validation shows that Johnson-Cook class models are superior in simulating the chip form while Drucker-Prager class models are suitable for forecasting the cutting force and temperature. In particular, modified Drucker-Prager models can reduce the error of cutting force FC to 18.01 %.
