Simulation of thermal processes in the cutting insert

Abstract

The process of heat generation in course of metal cutting treatment was investigated. The mathematical model was developed, which describes the temperature distribution in the cutting plate. The model discretization was based on the locally one-dimensional scheme by A.A. Samarskiy. This allowed the authors to perform numerical calculation of the temperature field over the plate. Introduction of auxiliary fractional steps had provided a stable scheme, which reduced the amount of computations. Application of this method will partially scale down the cost of experimental research.
