Abstract
Cutting temperature is a key factor which directly affects tool wear, workpiece integrity, and machining precision in high speed machining process. The interrupted cutting process consists of several periodical characteristics, such as cutting force and time varying heat source. Induced cutting temperature models with time varying heat flux are developed in this paper to predict temperature distribution at tool inserts and workpiece during interrupted cutting process. A set of interrupted cutting experimental installation is designed to verify the proposed models. The comparison of predicted and measured results for 1045 steel in interrupted cutting processes shows reasonable agreement. The measured temperature of both the tool inserts and workpiece increase firstly and then decrease as the cutting speed increases. The peak temperature of the workpiece appears at 1500m/min, while the peak tool inserts temperature appears at 1250m/min approximately. Heat flux is calculated by the inverse heat conduction method. The applicability of Salomon's hypothesis to the temperature of tool inserts and workpiece is discussed during the interrupted cutting process. The dropped temperature at high cutting speed is mainly caused by that heat flux into tool inserts decreases and heat transfer time is not enough after the critical cutting speed.
