    Abstract

    In this study, to simulate the grinding process for rolled homogeneous armor steel (RHA) 4043, a single-grain cutting process is modeled using a three-dimensional (3-D) numerical model, which is developed using a coupled finite element (FE) - smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) approach. The proposed numerical model is then employed to investigate the influences of grain negative rake angle (-22°, -31°, and -45°) as well as high and super-high cutting speed ranged from 100 m/s to 260 m/s in the cutting processes. The numerical results show the cutting forces are much lower and the maximum chip thickness is much larger when using a smaller grain negative rake angle.
