Abstract: The current paper presents a Finite Element Model (FEM) simulation and experimental analysis of orthogonal cutting on aluminium alloy using Polycrystalline Diamond (PCD) tools. FEM machining simulations used a Lagrangian finite element-based machining model, Advantedge^TM, applied to predict cutting forces, temperature distribution, plastic strain, von Mises and maximum shear stresses. The orthogonal cutting model was validated by comparing cutting forces obtained experimentally with a thermo-mechanical FEM analysis under orthogonal cutting conditions. Finally, FEM analysis prediction of the evolution of plastic strain, von Mises stress and maximum shear stresses during the machining of a commonly used aluminium alloy using PCD tools was conducted.
