Machining Properties of Stone-Plastic Composite Based on an Empirically Validated Finite Element Method

• High-cutting performance is an essential metric for improving the suitability of materials for industrial applications. Herein, the machining properties of stone-plastic composite are assessed through a finite element method to explore orthogonal cutting behavior by diamond cutters. The key aspects examined in this work are the effects of tool geometry and cutting parameters on the cutting force, temperature, chip formation, von Mises stress, and surface quality finish. Primary findings show that chip continuity increases proportionally with increase in rake angle but decreases with cutting speed and depth. Meanwhile, both cutting stability and surface quality are negatively correlated with cutting speed and depth but positively correlated with rake angle. These results support the adoption of cutting conditions using greater rake angle, higher cutting speed, and shallower cutting depth to obtain higher cutting performance, that is, greater cutting stability and surface quality in the finishing machining of stone-plastic composites.
