A numerical model representative of the 2D orthogonal cutting process is developed using ABAQUS/Explicit software. Johnson-Cook, (JC) constitutive material model is used to describe material plasticity. JC damage model and energy-based fracture criterion are used to describe damage initiation and evolution. Using Minitab-19 software, Taguchi L9 orthogonal array (3 × 3) is implemented to plan simulation trails. Assuming a constant cutting speed of 500 mm/min, three levels for each factor are considered α (-5°, 0°, 5°), r (0.02, 0.04, 0.06 mm) and f (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 mm). The cutting force and cutting zone temperature are analyzed using ANOVA. Based on a 90% Confidence Interval (90% CI), the results show that only feed rate significantly affects the cutting force. However, rake angle, cutting edge radius, and feed rate do not substantially affect cutting zone temperature.
