Determination of Johnson-Cook constitutive equation for Inconel 601

Due to their superior thermal and mechanical properties, super alloys widely used in the aerospace industry have been well-documented in terms of AdvantEdge-based analysis of cutting characteristics rather than experimental methods. However, the well-known super alloy Inconel 601 does not have any database of its material properties in AdvantEdge, which underscores the urgency to build such a database. Hence, the current study uses the Johnson-Cook equation to build a database of Inconel 601’s material properties in AdvantEdge. To that end, drawing on a room temperature tensile test, elevated temperature tensile test and orthogonal cutting test, the current study determines the Johnson-Cook constitutive equation for Inconel 601, and verifies the reliability of the determined Johnson-Cook constitutive equation by comparing the experimental values with the analytical values.
