Abstract
This paper reports analyses of stress and temperature on cutting tools made of functionally graded materials considering of layer angle. At first, we measured the cutting resistance under high-speed dry cutting test to determine the layer angle. Next, we modeled the FGM tools with the layer on a FEM software to analyze stress and thermal property. The analyses were conducted in case of layer angle is 0° and 27° for comparison. From the result of the simulation, it was found that the layer angle gave large effect to stress property while it gave small effect to thermal property.
