Most of these applications are in the components having disc or cylindrical shape, and are produced by a turning process. However, machining of this material is still a difficult task due to its high specific strength and poor thermal properties, which gave rise to higher tool wear and poor surface integrity [3]. Recently, the use of higher cutting speeds has shown promise in the reduction in tool wear and cutting forces and thus improving the machined surface quality to some extent [4,5]. Thus, high- speed machining is expected to provide a suitable technology for the bulk material removal in machining of the aerospace components of this material. In this context, it is important to understand the chip formation mechanism and the mechanics at higher cutting speeds, which govern the quality and integrity of machined surfaces [6–9]. It is known that minor changes in the chip formation mechanics may lead to problems like high cutting forces, short tool life, poor surface topography and surface integrity during or after machining. An important aspect of the machining mechanics is the specific cutting energy consumed in shear deformation during machining. It is evident from the literature that the researchers have modeled the specific cutting energy in orthogonal [10–13] and oblique machining of materials other than Inconel 718 that includes plain carbon steels (0.19–0.58% C) and titanium alloy. They considered some specific characteristics of cutting mechanics of this material for modeling [13–17].

An important aspect of the machining mechanics is the specificcutting energy consumed in shear deformation during machining.It is evident from the literature that the researchers have modeledthe specific cutting energy in orthogonal [10–13] and obliquemachining of materials other than Inconel 718 that includes plaincarbon steels (0.19–0.58% C) and titanium alloy.

of cutting forces and specific cutting energy that consider thematerial properties such as flow stress, the chip formationmechanisms such as shear band formation [22,24]. However,their effects on cutting forces and specific cutting energies havenot been explicitly considered in these models.

In view of the above, this paper presents an analytical model todetermine specific shearing energy in the primary deformationzone with a consideration to shear instability phenomena thatoccurs during chip formation during high-speed machining ofInconel 718. The paper begins with a description of the approachand important assumptions based on which the model has beenformulated. It is followed by use of three-dimensional obliquecutting model to determine the shearing forces and specific shearenergy by incorporating temperature and strain rate dependenceof flow stress, and the shear bands (thickness) that occur duringthe chip formation. The model is finally validated by performingmachining tests on Inconel 718.

2. An analytical model for specific shear energy

Specific cutting energy is the energy consumed in unit volumeof material removal. Specific cutting energy is an importantparameter that is directly related to chip formation phenomena,cutting forces, tool wear and machined surface integrity. It isknown that the total specific cutting energy is a sum of theenergies consumed in primary, secondary, and tertiary deforma-tion zones in machining [25]. In this model, an attempt has beenmade to predict the specific shear energy consumed in thedeformation on shear plane during machining of Inconel 718.

It is known from the literature that the mechanism of chipformation in Inconel 718 involves formation of shear bands.During machining, the temperature in the machining regionincreases when the cutting speed crosses a critical value (above60 m/min). As a result, the decrease in flow stress in the sheardeformation zone exceeds the increase in flow stress due to an

increase in strain hardening. This condition promotes the shearlocalization in primary deformation zone. Thus the shearcontinues but concentrates along a narrow band, called as shearband. Thus, there are two deformation regions in a chip asdepicted in Fig. 1. The first region (Region 1) is where the shearconcentrates along a narrow zone and is characterized by ashear band of width Dy. In the second region (Region 2), how-ever virtually no deformation occurs. Thus, the deformationpredominantly involves thermal softening and almost no strainhardening during machining of Inconel 718.

The mean cutting tool temperature during machining, eval-uated using the analysis by Kronenberg [27], has beenconsidered as the temperature of work material in the shearzone.

� In the following sections, various steps (see Fig. 2) in the model

formulation, its evaluation, and validation are discussed.

2.3. Theory of oblique cutting

In order to incorporate the shear band characteristics inmachining of Inconel 718, a three-dimensional oblique machiningaxes system is considered in this model. In oblique machining,tool cutting edge is inclined to the velocity vector. Three mutuallyperpendicular components of forces are determined with refer-ence to the tool cutting edge. The measured components are alongthe x-, y- and z-axis. Here, the x-axis represents the directionalong the work surface parallel to cutting velocity Vc, y-axisrepresents the direction along the work surface normal to Vc andz-axis is perpendicular to both x- and y-direction (see Fig. 3).

However, the components of resultant force in the plane of thetool face are along the directions x0, y0 and z0. The direction x0 isnormal to the tool face, y0 is along the cutting edge, and z0 isnormal to the cutting edge in the plane of the tool face (see Fig. 3).Hence, the force components with reference to the tool faceare [10]

2.4. Evaluation of theoretical specific shearing energy

It is known from the theory of metal cutting that the specificcutting energy consumed in machining is the energy required formetal removal in three deformation zones—primary, secondary,and tertiary deformation zones [10]. In this model, only thespecific cutting energy in primary deformation zone (Ps) has beenmodeled. The energy required for shearing the work material inprimary deformation zone is given as [10]

Ps ¼ KFsVs

btVcð5Þ

where K is a material constant. It is known that the machiningforces involve ploughing forces due to non-sharpness of cuttingedge. These forces are known to increase the total specific cuttingenergy to some extent. Fs, i.e. the shearing force in the aboveequation, will change as a result of the presence of ploughingforces. Therefore, now Fs is assumed to consist of two parts, onedue to machining operation and, the second, due to ploughingphenomenon and is given by

Fs ¼ Fsc þ Fsp ð6Þ

In the above equation, Fsc is the shearing force due to cuttingand Fsp is the ploughing force component in the shear direction.Therefore, Eq. (5) now can be written as

Ps ¼ðFsc þ FspÞcosBsVs

btVcð7Þ

Ps ¼ KFscVs

btVcþ

Fspcos zsVs

btVcð8Þ

Now replacing the first term on R.H.S. of the above equation byappropriate expression (as explained in the following section)indicating energy of the material deformation [28], we get

Ps ¼ Kse þ Fspcos zsVs

btVcð9Þ

Thus, the total shearing energy can be written as

Ps ¼ Psshearingþ Psploughing

ð10Þ

The ploughing force is known to act normal to the tool envelopand the tool tip, and around the Z-direction. Therefore, ploughingforces interfere mostly the Fz or thrust component of forces inoblique cutting. But when the cutting is assumed to be perfectlysharp, these forces are not considered in the analysis.

In the following sections, the procedure to evaluate both thecomponents of the total shearing energy has been described.

2.4.1. Evaluation of theoretical specific shearing energy due to

shearing, Ps_shearing

2.4.1.1. Evaluation of e. In this evaluation it is assumed that e isequivalent to the shearing strain in machining. It is known thatthe shearing strain in oblique cutting is given by [10]

e ¼ tanðfn � gnÞ þ cotfn

ð12Þ

2.4.1.2. Evaluation of flow stress, s. The flow stress, s, representsthe stress necessary to initiate yielding of a work material duringmachining. It is known that the cutting speeds used in the ma-chining experiments are usually very high. As a consequence,the temperatures, strain, and strain rates in machining are alsohigh. Besides, in Inconel 718 machining, work hardening andthermal softening compete each other and these propertieschange with machining conditions considerably. Therefore, eva-luation of the quantity s gives work material flow stress in ma-chining under the influence of strain hardening, strain ratehardening, and thermal softening. It governs the material flowstress in machining [29–31]. To obtain the flow stress of workmaterial dependant on strain, strain rate and temperature, theJohnson–Cook material model has been applied in various mate-rial deformation processes, including machining [32]. It is givenby Eq. (13) as

s ¼ ½Aþ BðeÞn� 1þ CIn_e_e o

where material constants B, C, n can be obtained by Split Hop-kinson Bar (SHPB) test [26].

In the model presented in this paper, the above equation hasbeen used. To apply the JC equation to a given situation, strain rate_e and temperature T need to be evaluated, as explained in thefollowing sections.

2.4.1.3. Evaluation of strain rate _e . During the evaluation of strainrate _e , it is necessary to consider the effect of shear band forma-tion that takes place in machining of Inconel 718. The shear bandformation is characterized by its width Dy as shown in Fig. 1.Thus knowing shear strain from Eq. (12), we get strain rate inmachining in terms of Dy and the other cutting variables as givenby [10]

2.4.1.4. Evaluation of shear band spacing, Dy. It is well known thatthe shear localization phenomenon prevails in chip formationduring high-speed machining of Inconel 718. This induces adia-batic shear bands in the serrated or shear localized chips (Fig. 1).These adiabatic shear bands result due to onset of shear locali-zation. The expression for the shear band spacing Dy in the shearlocalized chips is derived from the critical localization conditionwhen the instability occurs in the softening region on thestress–strain curve, i.e. Hco0, where Hc is the slope of stress–strain curve [22]. Shear band spacing Dy is a function ofwork material properties, cutting tool geometry during machin-ing, and the machining conditions. It also depends on the locali-zation behavior of the work material due to plastic deformat-ion and the fraction of plastic work converted into heat duringmachining.

The shear band spacing, Dy, in machining of Ti–6Al–4Valloy is given by Eq. (19) [22]. In this work, it is assumedthat the shear band spacing can be evaluated by the sameequation:

Dy ¼ w1

In Eq. (23), Co is Kronenbrg’s constant. Thus, Eq. (23) can beused to determine the temperature in the shear zone. Hence, theshear zone temperature as determined above has been used in theJC constitutive material model to evaluate the temperature T�,which is defined as

2.4.2. Evaluation of specific energy due to ploughing, Ps_ploughing

It is known that the forces that act along the radius of cuttingedge and which do not contribute to the cutting action are calledas ploughing forces. In general, they increase the total specificcutting energy. The ploughing force components are consideredalong the direction of cutting as well as thrust force as shown inFig. 4. In order to determine the force components due toploughing, the equations in Ref. [33], which are based on a slipline field model for a rigid wedge sliding on a half-space and fororthogonal cutting, have been used. The ploughing forcecomponents acting on the tool in the direction of cutting, Fcp,and that in the direction of feed, Ftp (see Fig. 4) can be determinedas given below. The resultant of the two forces, Fs

Angle zs is an angle between shear velocity vector and theshear force vector, measured in the shear plane. It is thereforedetermined from the difference between the shear flow angle andthe angle ds (Fig. 5) and thus it can be expressed as

zs ¼ Zs � ds ð32Þ

where Zs is the shear flow angle as defined earlier in Eq. (15) andds is the angle made by shear force Fs with the normal to thecutting edge in the plane of tool face.

Substituting Eq. (15) into Eq. (32), the angle zs is given by

3. Model analysis and validation

It involves detailed account of experimental procedure used formodel validation, procedure to evaluate the model parameters,analysis of results of the theoretical model and its comparisonwith the experimental results. Accordingly, in the followingparagraphs, initially, experimental procedure is described fol-lowed by the analysis of the theoretical model.

3.1. Experimental procedure

In this section, a small portion of the elaborate experimentalprocedure cited elsewhere [4] is presented. The oblique turningexperiments were performed as per the specifications in Table 2 tovalidate the model of specific shear energy during machining ofInconel 718 (see Table 2). A CNC turning lathe (EMCO/PCTURNModel 345-II, make-Austria) of 13 kW capacity was used. Thework material used was annealed Inconel 718 rings of size (OD70 mm and ID 60) with 5 mm thickness. The chemical composi-tion of work material has 54.95 Ni; 17.90 Cr; 16.54 Fe; 2.96 Mo;0.92 Ti; 4.85 Nb; 0.92 Co; 0.52 Al; 0.131 W; 0.073 Mn. No cuttingfluids were used during the experiments. A rhomboid-shaped 801negative PCBN (45% CBN content) cutting insert (0.4 mm noseradius) was used as a cutting tool. Three different cutting toolswith varying edge preparation CW1: Chamfered (100mm�301),CW2: Chamfered (100mm�201), CH: Chamfered (100mm�301)plus honed edge were used. The machining parameters werevaried as follows: cutting speed Vc (125; 300; 475 m/min),feedrate f (0.05; 0.10; 0.15 mm/rev), and depth of cut ap (0.50;0.75; 1.00 mm). The cutting forces were measured using a Kistlerpiezoelectric dynamometer (Model 9257A) with a charge ampli-fier (Model 5015A) and data acquisition software. The chips werecollected during each experiment and examined offline usingNikon measuroscope (Japan make) and the chip thickness and thecorresponding width were recorded. The measured values of thecutting forces and the chip dimensions are given in Table 2.

3.2. Model evaluation

In the model evaluation, initially the theoretical shear energyPs�theory is evaluated using Eq. (11), by substituting the values offlow stress s and shear strain (e). The flow stress in Eq. (11) isdetermined using Eq. (13). The material constants (A, B, C, m, andn) for Inconel 718 used in Eq. (13) are taken from Ahmed et al. [34]and the corresponding values are shown in Table 1. In Eq. (13), thestrain rate _e used to determine flow stress is evaluated usingEq. (14), wherein the tool geometry related parameters such asshear flow angle Zs, chip flow angle Zc, and the normal shear anglefn are obtained by Eqs. (15)–(17) and shear velocity by Eq. (18). Toevaluate the shear band spacing Dy, Eq. (20) is used, wherein theterms thermal conductivity k, density r and specific heat Cv ofInconel 718 are taken from Ref. [35]. A Taylor–Quinney coefficientw1 is required in Eq. (19). In the literature, value of Taylor–Quinneycoefficient is taken as 0.9 for Titanium alloy [12] and (0.85–0.95)for other alloys [36,37]. Therefore, in this model, this coefficient isassumed to be 0.9. A flow localization parameter b is determinedusing Eq. (20). A thermal softening parameter used in the aboveequation is determined from the slope of the shear stress–straincurve. For this, the values of the shear stress are calculated fromtrue stress–strain curves in Ref. [38], see Fig. 6. The value of thethermal softening parameter thus calculated is �0.20 as shown in

Table 3 [38]. Further, by substituting the terms fn, gn, Zs, and Vs,the strain rate is determined using Eq. (22).

To evaluate the temperature, Kornenberg’s equation is used(Eq. (23)). The cutting speed (Vc) and area of chip cross-section(Ac) (calculated from the chip dimensions) are used in thisequation. The constant Co in Kronenberg’s equation (23) isdetermined from the available value of machining temperatureand the corresponding cutting conditions during machining ofInconel 718 from Ref. [5]. Its value is evaluated to be 0.7. Thetemperature evaluated is used in determining the flow stress inEq. (13). Knowing the terms fn, i, and Fx, Fy, Fz, the angle ds, isevaluated using Eq. (34). Then, the angle between the shearvelocity vector and the shear force vector in shear plane (zs) isevaluated using Eq. (33). Finally, the theoretical specific shearingenergy (Ps�theory) is evaluated by substituting flow stress (Eq. (13))and shear strain (Eq. (22)), in Eq. (11).

The experimental specific shearing energy (Ps�expt.) is thendetermined using the shear force obtained from the experimentalcutting forces using Eq. (29). By substituting the values of depthof cut ap, feedrate f and cutting velocity Vc, shear velocity Vs

obtained by Eq. (18), the experimental specific shearing energy isdetermined using Eq. (35).

A sample calculation to evaluate the theoretical as well asexperimental specific shearing energy is presented in Appendix A.The results of model evaluation are presented in Table 2.

3.3. Analysis of theoretical shear band spacing

The shear band thickness observed during machining ofInconel 718 has been determined based on the theoretical model(Eq. (21)) for some of the experimental runs in Table 2. A plot ofshear band spacing vs. feedrates for various cutting speeds isshown in Fig. 7. It is observed that the shear band spacing

increases linearly with an increase in the feedrate from 0.05 to0.10 mm/rev at 125 and 475 m/min cutting speeds. These resultsshow similar trend as that of the shear band spacing observedwhile machining Titanium Alloys in Ref. [22]. It can be attributedto the corresponding increase in the area of cross-section of thematerial undergoing plastic deformation with an increase in thefeedrate. The increased area causes an increase in the percentageof localization of work material in the shearing zone and thereforethe shear bands spacing increases. However, the magnitudeof the band spacing in the case of Inconel 718 is in the rangefrom 0.2 to 0.9 mm compared to the Titanium Alloy, theoretical(0.25–0.45 mm), and experimental (0.3–0.5 mm) obtained by inRef. [22]. In their experiments, the feedrate was in the range of0.40–1 mm/rev.

3.4. Comparison between experimental and theoretical specific

shear energies

The plots showing the effects of feedrate on the experimentalspecific shear energy at different cutting speeds are given in Fig. 8.It is observed that the experimental specific shear energy is higherat the lowest feedrates (0.05 mm/rev). This is nothing but the‘size-effect’ [39], which could be attributed to the smaller area ofcross-section involved in shearing deformation. The proportion ofploughing forces to the cutting forces increases as the cross-

sectional area in shear gets reduced, and therefore, larger specificshear energy is required in machining. Further increase in thefeedrate to 0.10 mm/rev reduces the shear energy. Also, it isobserved that the magnitude of specific shearing energy (size-effect) is the largest at the lowest cutting speed (125 m/min) andreduces thereafter as the cutting speeds reduces to 300 and475 m/min. A comparison between the predicted (theoretical) andthe experimental specific cutting energies for 10 machining testsis shown in Fig. 9. It is observed from the plots in Fig. 9 that thetheoretical and experimental values match extremely well. Thepercentage difference between the theoretical and experimentalspecific cutting energies upon considering the effect of theploughing forces lies between 0.5% and 7%, see Table 2.

3.5. Sensitivity analysis of the shear energy model

Sensitivity analysis is a useful technique to understand thevariations in output of a model, qualitatively or quantitatively todifferent sources of variation [40]. It identifies the most importantfactors governing changes in the model output. In this study, themachining performance is measured in terms of specific shearenergy produced in machining (Table 3).

In this model given by Eq. (35), the parameters such ascutting forces (Fx, Fy, Fz), chip flow angle Zc, shear flow

Graphical representation of relative importance (percentage) of the parameters in the

the machining process such as Kronenberg’s temperature con-stant C0, and m, b, and w1 are the constants used to deriveshear band spacing Dy. Since these are the assumed parameters,it is necessary to check their effect on the model output.Thus, the model coefficients are divided into two categories (seeTable 4). The first one includes the work material property-dependant coefficients, such as material constants A, B, C, andstrain rate hardening exponent n, and strain rate sensitivity m. Thesecond one includes the process-dependant parameters such asTaylor–Quinney coefficient w1, Kronenberg’s constant Co, andflow localization parameter b, which govern the variation inshear band spacing and thus the flow stress of a material. Themodel output is the specific shear energy in the primarydeformation zone. The model susceptibility has been checkedfor the above parameters for the #1st experimental run. Table 4lists the variation of model input variables, which cover 710%range of the variables.

The graphical representation of the sensitivity analysis ofspecific shear energy involving relative importance of the modelparameters (in percentage) is also indicated at the bottom of Table4. It is observed that Kronenberg’s temperature constant C0 hasthe highest contribution on the changes in the model output. Itindicates that the effect of machining temperature on the flowproperties of the work material plays an important role indetermining the shearing strength of the work material on theshear plane. Further, the material constants A, B, and C are alsosignificant deciding the magnitude of specific shear energy,besides the machining shear strain. It implies that the strainhardening (material constants A and B) and machining shearstrain eare more significant than strain rate hardening (materialconstant C). However, all the remaining model coefficients are lesssensitive to the changes in the model output (20% change in inputcauses less than 10% variation in the output).

4. Conclusions

The following conclusions are drawn from the analyticalmodeling and the analysis of specific shear energy duringmachining of Inconel 718.

1.

An analytical model is formulated to predict specific shearenergy in machining considering the characteristics, such as (i)shear band spacing during chip formation, (ii) flow stress as afunction of strain rate and temperature using Johnson–Cookmaterial constitutive model, and (iii) machining temperaturebased on the analysis of Kronenberg (iv) and ploughing forcesin machining.

2.

It is found that the shear band spacing during chip formationincreases linearly with an increase in the feedrate. Based onthe theoretical model, the absolute value of shear band spacingfor Inconel 718 was found to be 0.2–0.9 mm.

3.

The specific shearing energy is a strong function offeedrate; it increases with a decrease in the feedrate showingthe presence of size-effect. Further, it is observed that themagnitude of specific shearing energy (size-effect) isthe largest at the lowest cutting speed (125 m/min) andreduces thereafter as the cutting speeds reduces to 300 and475 m/min.

4.

An excellent agreement between the experimental andtheoretical shear energies was found at high speed/highfeedrate conditions when the ploughing forces were consid-ered in the theoretical model.

5.

Sensitivity analysis of the specific shear energy model showsthat the model output is the most sensitive to thermalsoftening, strain hardening, and the magnitude of shearingstrain during machining of Inconel 718.
