Abstract

The temperature distribution of the tool flank face is measured by a simple method in this report. After drilling a small hole in the work, a fine metal wire (0.02 mm diam) is inserted and both the work and the wire are cut together. At the time of wire cutting, the end of the wire is in contact with the cutting edge and moves on the tool flank face. A thermoelectric couple is formed between the tool flank and the fine wire and then the temperature distribution on the tool flank face can be measured. Temperature distribution generally forms a trapezoid, regardless of cutting conditions and width of flank wear. The maximum temperature on tool flank is not affected by cutting condition.
