Heyao Shen, Minghong Wang

Abstract: In the process of cutting, cutting tool wear has an important influence on the surface quality of the work piece, therefore, it is of great significance for the research of tool wear detection. In this paper, this work focuses on researching relationship between cutting force and tool flank wear. In different experiment conditions, the consistency of the results of simulation and experiment results was obtained through the comparative analysis between the two. It is a complex problem that cutting tool wear and measuring process and not easy to get the accurate ideal results by experiment, the simulation experiment has the characteristics of simple and easy to operate and the result is diminutively influenced by complex factors, therefore, it is the primary method to carry out this work by simulation experiment .In this paper, it is mainly investigated into the simulation analysis of the tool flank wear. The specific content of the simulation experiment is explaining the causation for the tool flank wear through the analysis of the temperature field at the tip and obtaining the data of cutting force in different tool flank wear(10,100,200,300um). The empirical cutting force model was established through multiple regression analysis and the tool flank wear prediction model was reversed and gained by analysis of the results of simulation experiments.
