Abstract

Lots of heat generated in the cutting deformation zone can cause the temperature rising of cutting tool and workpiece during the cutting process. Tool temperature is mainly depended on the heat energy entering into tool in the secondary deformation zone. Higher working temperature can weaken the cutting tool strength and then deteriorate the tool wear. Advanced coating layer deposited on the tool substrate can change the tool-chip friction and affect the heat partition in the tool-chip interface. In order to reveal the mechanism of heat conduction in the secondary deformation zone, the model of heat partition into cutting tool was built. With the aid of finite element method (FEM), the relative parameters which were necessary for the solving of heat partition model were quantified. Actual cutting experiments were carried out to the verification of the FEM models by means of the cutting force and temperature measurement. Influences of coatings (i.e., coating materials, coating thickness) and cutting speeds on the heat partition were analyzed. And then, rake face temperatures obtained at four kinds of coated tools were compared. The investigation results showed that TiC coating appears as the maximum value and Al2O3 coating appears as the minimum value of heat partition coefficient into cutting tool among these four kinds of coatings (i.e., TiC, TiN, TiAlN, Al2O3). With the increasing of coating thickness and cutting speeds, heat partition into cutting tool all showed a decrease trend. Al2O3-coated tool had the maximum rake face temperature among these four kinds of coated tools; however, the location of peak temperature on the rake face of Al2O3-coated tool was the shortest distance from the tool tip.
