Abstract

Many complex parts possess thin-walled sections that are primarily produced by machining operations. These thin-walled sections are likely to deform during material removal processes making machining situations more complicated due to cutting forces and variable power consumption. This study mainly aims to model the variable power consumption in thin-wall end face turning. In order to develop the variable energy consumption model for thin-wall end face turning, mechanistic approach is used on the basis upon the cutting force model. The proposed power consumption model helps to analyze the longitudinal, tangential and radial force components and corresponding variable power consumption during end face thin-wall turning. The expense of conducting multiple machining operation will be reduced with the help of such computational models by predicting energy consumption. The present work will help in analysis and lowering the energy consumption and decreasing carbon footprint thereby making the machining more sustainable.
