Prediction on Cutting Heat of the Simulation in NC Lathe

摘要

Cutting heat and cutting temperature are the most important physical phenomena in cutting machining process. Cutting temperature and its distribution affect the abrasion of cutting tool and the operating life directly. Meanwhile they can affect the machining precision and the machined surface quality. In this paper the ABAQUS finite element software is used to predict the thermal distribution and variable condition, moreover it is tested through the experiment. As is shown from the result, the changing trend of cutting temperature by the simulation is consistent with the real measured result, which has better precision and reliability and supplies the theoretical basis for the deformation analysis caused by cutting heat in the cutting machining process.
