Introduction:
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is an advanced engineered ceramic and an alternative to semiconducting Silicon (Si) for operation at elevated temperatures and high power applications. Some of SiC’s beneficial properties include: chemical resistance, high temperature resistance, extreme hardness and high stiffness
Hardness of SiC: 26 GPa
The machining of SiC is difficult due to its high hardness and brittle nature.
Ductile mode µ-LAM has been studied to replace grinding and polishing processes and to increase the material removal rates and maintaining the workpiece surface quality
In µ-LAM, the laser beam passes through the diamond tool, thus heating the surface just below the tool tip in the chip formation zone
SiC
Schematic of µ-LAM
Diamond tool
High Pressure Phase Transformation
The ductile material removal can be attributed to a High Pressure Phase Transformation (HPPT) at the tool-chip interface and the resultant phase is metallic or amorphous
The HPPT occurs due to contact between the sharp tool and workpiece at or below critical depth of cut, i.e., below the ductile to brittle transition
Why Simulations?
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is very expensive semiconductor Measurement of temperatures at nano-scale is practically not
possible Also the rate of heat transfer and pressures on tool and
workpiece can be studied There is a metallic phase at tool chip interface due to high
pressure phase transformation
Software used: AdvantEdge version 5.4 Commercial software for machining solutions in metals
developed by Third Wave Systems Inc.
Objective:
To simulate different heating conditions over a temperature range for studying the laser heating effect
To study the change in chip formation, cutting forces and pressures with changes in heating/temperature conditions
Mathematical model:
Drucker Prager Yield Criterion:
…(1)
…(2)
Where I1 is first invariant of stress tensor
…(3)
Where J2 is second invariant of deviatoric stress tensor
Hence initial yield stress is given by:
…(4)
For uniaxial stress, σ2 = σ3 = 0 and also σc = σ1 = H= 26 GPa
σt = H/2.2 = 11.82 GPa (for ceramics)
Hence, К= 16.25 GPa and Drucker-Prager coefficient (α) = 0.375

Tool Properties:
The -45 rake angle creates a high pressure sufficient to accommodate the HPPT, ⁰thus the chip formation zone is conducive for ductile deformation

• Temperature range of the simulation work:20° C, 700° C, 1500° C, 2200° C and 2700° C where 1500° C is the thermal cutoff point in the material model.
• From 20° C till 1500° C, the thermal softening curve has a 3rd order polynomial fit in the material model
• From the thermal cutoff point (1500° C) till melting point (2830° C) the curve is linear
Constraints:
AdvantEdge does not provide for the direct incorporation of the laser heat source, thus the heating effect is modeled with these thermal conditions
For this study, the crystalline dependency of the brittle behavior of SiC is not included in the model
Note: The temperature scale changes in each figure, as the minimum temperature is set slightly above and below the boundary condition temperature
