  The numerical simulation of metal cutting processes requires material data
for constitutive equations, which cannot be obtained with standard material
testing procedures. Instead, inverse identifications of material parameters
within numerical simulation models of the cutting experiment itself are
necessary. The intention of the present report is the provision of results of a
large scale experimental study of dry orthogonal cutting experiments of Ti6Al4V
(3.7165 Grade 5) and Ck45 (AISI 1045) along with their documentation and
interpretation. The process forces are evaluated and each cutting insert
geometry has been measured prior to the experiments to determine the cutting
edge radii for each experiment. The resulting chip forms are analysed and the
averaged chip thicknesses are determined. A material characterization is
performed, which includes microstructural investigations on the raw materials
and is reported together with tensile test results. The assembled data set can
be used for parameter identification when the experimental conditions are
reproduced in numerical simulations. The cutting test results are finally used
to derive coefficients for Kienzle's force model. The data is stored in the
pCloud and contains process force measurement data, cutting edge radii scans,
pictures of chip geometries and etched chips.
