Yr. Liu et al., TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION NEAR CUTTING EDGE OF CERAMIC CUTTING TOOLS MEASURED BY THERMAL VIDEO SYSTEM (TVS), Progress in Natural Science, 8(1), 1998, pp. 44
The temperature distribution on the rake and flank faces of two cerami
c cutting tools when machining 1045 plain carbon steel and 302 stainle
ss steel were measured by a thermal video system. After the data-proce
ssing of experimental results, the obtained temperature distributions
were in good agreement with the theoretical calculations. A new method
of measuring temperature of ceramic cutting tools has been developed
successfully. The results presented are important for determining the
cutting parameters, lengthening the tool's life and exploring the wear
mechanisms.
