Abstract

Aluminium metal matrix composites are used widely in aerospace and automobile applications due to their superior mechanical properties. Machining of aluminium metal matrix composites is difficult due to the presence of hard abrasive particles. The Al6061 and, Al6063 metal matrix composites reinforced by silicon carbide, alumina, boron carbide are developed and machined by researchers. Cutting forces play an important role in assessing machinability of the aluminium metal matrix composites. This paper is an attempt of development of a finite element model and machining simulation to determine cutting force. ABAQUS 6.13 software is used to perform machining simulation on aluminium metal matrix composites with tungsten carbide inserts.
