Analysis of CNC Turning Process of AA6082-T6 using Ansys Software

Abstract

In this new technological world, CNC and manual turning operations engage in a significant role in different types of designing and manufacturing industries. Before initiating the manufacturing processes, analysis is a crucial part of the manufacturing process. This study involves modelling and analysis of the CNC machining process of a cylindrical AA6082-T6 workpiece with a Tungsten Carbide tip tool. A 3D model is first modelled on CATIA V5 and the analysis is then carried on in Ansys R19.2’s explicit module. The experimental and analytical results are carried out to justify the work. The cutting parameters used in CNC machining are Spindle rotational speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The Normal Stress’s percentage error value varied too much compared to Shear stress and Shear Strain. This shows that the aluminium is suitable for the machining processes and can also be used more efficiently.
