This study employs Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations to investigate chip formation dynamics and temperature distribution during machining processes. Understanding these phenomena is crucial for optimizing cutting parameters and enhancing machining efficiency and tool life. The FEM models consider factors such as tool geometry, material properties, and cutting conditions to simulate realistic chip formation and thermal behavior. Insights gained from this research contribute to advancing precision machining technologies.
