EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES AND MODELING OF HEAT GENERATION IN METAL MACHINING

Abstract

Heat generation in the cutting zones due to plastic deformation and friction in the cutting region governs insert wear, tensile residual stresses on the machined component surface and may give rise to undesired tolerances and short component life. Therefore, it is crucial that the heat generation is kept under control during metal cutting. In this study an analytical model for prediction of heat generation in the primary and secondary deformation zones is compared with results from finite element simulations and temperature measurements using IR-CCD camera. The used cutting data are altered to study the temperature influence from tool geometry and feed when machining stainless steel SANMAC316L and low carbon steel AISI 1045.
