CUTTING TEMPERATURE MODELING BASED ON NON-UNIFORM HEAT INTENSITY AND PARTITION RATIO

ABSTRACT The understanding of temperature distribution along the tool-chip interface is important for machining process planning and tool design. Among many temperature modeling studies, uniform heat partition ratio and/or uniform heat intensity along the interface are frequently assumed. This assumption is not true in actual machining and can lead to ill-estimated results at the presence of sticking and sliding. This paper presents a new analytical cutting temperature modeling approach that considers the combined effect of the primary and the secondary heat sources and solves the temperature rise along the tool-chip interface based on the non-uniform heat partition ratio and non-uniform heat intensity along the interface. For the chip side, the effect of the primary shear zone is modeled as a uniform moving oblique band heat source, while that of the secondary shear zone is modeled as a non-uniform moving band heat source within a semi-infinite medium. For the tool side, the effect of the secondary heat source is modeled as a non-uniform static rectangular heat source within a semi-infinite medium; and the primary heat source affects the temperature distribution on the tool side indirectly by affecting the heat partition ratio along the interface. Imaginary heat sources are considered as a result of the adiabatic boundary condition involved along the tool-chip interface and of the insulated boundary conditions along both the chip back side and the tool flank face. The temperature matching condition along the tool-chip interface leads to the solution of distributed heat partition ratio by solving a set of linear equations. The proposed model is verified based on the published experimental data of the conventional turning process and it shows both satisfactory accuracy and improved match.
