Experimental and Numerical Study on Regulation of Cutting Temperature during the Circular Sawing of 45 Steel

Abstract

Studying the cutting temperature is critical for unlocking the secrets of sawblade wear, lifespan, and the metallurgical alterations beneath the surface. This paper describes an investigation into the temperature of 45 steel during dry sawing, using a cemented carbide circular saw blade under various cutting conditions. A temperature acquisition system was developed, enabling the determination of the average temperature of the arc zone in the workpiece and the temperature of the sawtooth tip via a semi-automated thermocouple measurement and an embedded dynamic artificial thermocouple method, respectively. Results obtained from these two methods indicate a positive correlation between the sawing temperature and the saw blade speed and feed rate, with an optimal combination of cutting process parameters identified for maintaining stability within reasonable ranges. Finite element simulations reveal a cyclical fluctuation in temperature along the workpiece surface and sawtooth, with a gradual decrease after an increase in the intermittent step, and confirm the relationship between the sawing temperature and the saw blade and feed rates observed experimentally. Overall, this study presents valuable insights into the temperature changes occurring during the sawing process, with important implications for improving productivity and maintaining stability in industrial applications.

Ceramic–Titanium Alloy Artificial Hip Joint Wear Simulation and Experimental Study

“…These phenomena are considered joint wear, which is the primary cause of hip joint failure. Three fundamental characteristics of tribological behavior were proposed and substantiated: time-dependence, system-dependence, and multidisciplinary coupling [22][23][24]. These characteristics laid the foundation for further research in tribology.…”

A Review of Numerical Simulation and Modeling in High Strain Rate Deformation Processes

“…These results are crucial for developing accurate constitutive models that capture the material's behavior under high strain rate deformation. By incorporating these data into numerical simulations, engineers and researchers can simulate and predict the response of the hypothetical aluminum alloy in various high-strain rate scenarios, enabling the design and optimization of structures and components for improved performance and safety [40][41][42][43]. Fig 2 illustrates the relationship between strain rate and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy.…”

Numerical Investigation on the Effect of Cutting-Edge Shape Factor on the Cutting Performance of Titanium Alloy

“…The initial temperature was set at 20 Due to the low thermal conductivity of titanium alloys, a large amount of heat accumulation is generated during the cutting process, which leads to an increase in temperature near the cutting edge of the tool, affecting the cutting performance and shortening the tool life. Therefore, in the study of the shape factors affecting tool cutting performance, it is necessary to monitor the cutting temperature [18,19]. However, there is still a great difficulty in accurately measuring the cutting temperature and its distribution in the cutting zone in both turning and milling processes [20].…”
