To decrease the energy footprint of a machined product, a novel turning insert design has been reported in this work. Two geometrical models of the turning inserts: a commercially available design of insert and proposed design of insert have been used to numerically simulate the turning operation. FEM based coupled temperature displacement simulations for orthogonal turning operations for A2024-T351 are carried out. Reasonable associations of numerical results with the experimentally published result were found. Numerical simulation results show the efficacy of the new design of the insert in quantitative reduction of energy inefficient by product of machining named as ―Burr‖. Additionally an improved tool life has also been predicted.
