STRUCTURAL AND THERMAL ANALYSIS OF SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL MMODIFIED

Abstract

ABSTRACR

Temperature at tool-chip interface of a single point cutting tool is determined, generated in different speed machining operations. Specifically, three different analyses are comparing to an experimental measurement of temperature in a machining process at slow speed, medium speed and at high speed. In addition, three analyses are done of a High Speed Steel and of a Carbide Tip Tool machining process at three different cutting speeds, in order to compare to experimental results produced as part of this study. An investigation of heat generation in cutting tool is performed by varying cutting parameters at the suitable cutting tool geometry. The experimental results reveal that the main factors responsible for increasing cutting temperature are cutting speed (v) and depth of cut (d) respectively. Various researches have been undertaken in measuring the temperatures generated during cutting operations. Investigators made attempt to measure these cutting temperatures with various techniques during machining. “Fluke IR Thermal Imager” is used for measuring temperature at tool-chip interface. Single point cutting tool has been solid modelled by using SOLIDWORKS 2013 and Finite Element Analysis carried out by using ANSYS Workbench 15. By varying various parameters the effect of those on temperature are compared with the experimental results and FEA results.
