This study presents numerical solution by using coupling model between computational fluid dynamic (CFD), and finite element method (FEM) to predicted the temperature distribution through cutting tool. In this study ANSYS/Explicit dynamic used to solve finite element equations in cutting zone. Machining simulations were conducted using Aluminum (AL) and High speed steel (HSS) as a workpeice and tool material respectively. Depth of cut varied from 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm and a cutting speed varied from 6m/s to 10m/s have been considered in the simulations. The CFD model solve by using ANSYS/fluent to find the temperature distribution at the tool surface by using finite volume method. The simulation explained the influence of depth of cut, and cutting speed on cutting temperature. For all simulations, the rake angle is fixed (6°). The rise or reduction in temperature as a result of the various cutting parameters was also estimated and discussed. After solving the problem, it was discovered that the temperature at the tip (tool-work piece contact area) was the highest and gradually decreased towards the surface, and that the results showed a major influence of cutting speed on the temperature generated in the machined models and a very small influence of depth of cut on the workpiece temperature.
