Beschreibung
This study examines local friction behavior at the chip–tool interface in metal cutting by integrating chip formation and microscale contact simulations. This research examines the mechanical effects of high-pressure metalworking fluid (MWF) supply on chip formation, specifically its impact on frictional interactions at the tool–chip interface. Through finite element modeling and a microscale contact model, this study provides detailed insights into the effects of high-pressure MWFs on local friction coefficients, contact length, and pressure distribution in the secondary shear zone. Experimental validation using high-speed orthogonal cutting tests demonstrates strong agreement between simulated and observed results, confirming the effectiveness of the multi-scale model. The findings suggest that optimized high-pressure lubrication significantly enhances tool life, reduces process forces, and improves surface quality, making it a valuable strategy for advanced machining applications.
