Development of a Parametric Model for Calculating Cutting Forces in External Cylindrical Turning of 16MNCR5 Steel

Abstract

The paper presents a mathematical model for calculating cutting forces during the machining of 16MnCr5 steel using the Sandvik CNMG 120408 16P25T tool. The modeling process involved the use of a test rig constructed based on the 16Д25 machine, which enabled the measurement of real values of spindle speed, longitudinal feed, cutting depth, and cutting forces. The results transmitted to a computer through the LTR-EU-8 workstation, equipped with galvanic isolated LTR modules and a synchronization interface. Based on the experimental results, the theoretical model demonstrated a deviation from actual measurements of no more than 4.72%. The study provides evidence that the cutting force calculations commonly presented by leading tool manufacturers are inherently overestimated. he difference in cutting forces can be 9%.
