Abstract

Thirty six kinds of chamfered and unchamfered main cutting edge carbide tips were used in turning of high-strength glass-fiber-reinforced plastics (GFRP) materials to study the cutting temperature of tip's surface. The frictional forces and heat generated on elementary cutting tools are calculated by using the measured cutting forces and the theoretical cutting analysis. The heat partition factors between the tip and chip are solved by using the inverse heat transfer analysis, which utilizes temperature on the K type carbide tip's surface measured by infrared as the input. The tip's surface temperature of the carbide is solved by finite element analysis (FEA) and compared with those obtained from experimental measurements. A good agreement demonstrates the accuracy of the proposed model.
