Investigation of Thrust Force, Torque and Chip Formation in Tapping Threading by Finite Element Method

Öz

Threading with taps is a method frequently used in machining. Since this process takes place in a closed area due to its nature, some difficulties are encountered. In this study, the results of a previous experimental work were compared with the results of a simulation program. In the experimental work, the tapping process were performed by using M10 taps with three different geometries for the drilled holes on AISI 1050 material. Tapping operations were carried out with uncoated and TiN coated HSS tools. For the simulatin program, the 3D CAD models of the tested taps were created by reverse engineering method and then imported into a simulation program, called Third Wave AdvantEdge program. The CAD models were evaluated by Third Wave AdvantEdge program based the finite element method. The thrust force, torque, chip formation occurring during the threading process were examined. It was concluded that the simulation and the experimental results were quite compatible.
