Numerical investigation of sequential cuts residual stress considering tool edge radius in machining of AISI 304 stainless steel

• Residual stress affects component performance, and the existence of pre-stress changes the residual stress of machined surfaces as well, emphasizing the importance of studying the evolution of residual stress in sequential cutting. This paper reports a numerical investigation of the machining-induced residual stress profile of sequential cuts for orthogonal cutting of AISI 304, considering the effects of edge radius and cutting depth. A Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian (CEL) model is employed for the first time to stably simulate the evolution of residual stress of multiple sequential cuts. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by comparing the chip formation and surface residual stress between simulated and experimental results. The cutting force and cutting temperature, as well as mechanical and thermal loads, are extracted to explain the generation and evolution of residual stress in sequential cutting. It is found that the residual stress on the machined surfaces will decrease during sequential cutting, and a stable value can be reached after approximately six sequential cuts. With the progress of sequential cutting, a larger honed tool edge radius and cutting depth will lead to a slower reduction of residual stress.
