An Analysis of the Thermal Simulation of Parts Processed by Cutting, with Different Geometries

Abstract

In practice, different cutting processes are encountered, each process having different characteristics. Due to the existing friction forces between the workpiece and the cutting tool, a significant amount of heat is generated. This amount of heat can be determined by experimental measurements. With the help of the SolidWorks program, the geometric element that must be studied can be made, so that later it can be studied from the point of view of the thermal behaviors following the processing. We will take into account the different critical areas that may occur and that may materialize through areas where the final surface is not compliant. This paper aims to study the way in which the temperature is propagated in the workpiece, so that the phenomenon can be understood and determined how this excessive heat can be removed from the cutting area.
