This paper used rigid-plastic finite element DEFORM^TM 3D software, studying on 6061 aluminum alloy cutting plastic deformation behavior. The main design including a variety of different types of turning tools chipbreakers that under the same conditions, chipbreakers including without chipbreaker design, square chipbreaker design and an elliptical chipbreaker design, in order to analyze the effective stress after cutting, the effective strain after cutting, tool temperature, tool wear analysis in different chipbreaker types. The results of simulation analysis hoped to confirm the applicability of finite element method for cutting 6061 aluminum alloy.
