Abstract

During the turning of the workpiece, cutting heat causes thermal deformation of the cutting tool which influences the surface characteristics of the machined part. This paper presents a study of thermal deformation of the cutting tool. For this purpose, cutting tool is modeled based on Pro/Engineering and temperature and deformation are simulated by means of the finite element method. The thermal effect on the surface roughness profile is simulated by using surface-shaping system.
