An investigative study of the interface heat transfer coefficient for finite element modelling of high-speed machining
High Speed Machining (HSM) is one of the most important manufacturing processes being increasingly used for higher productivity and improved environment. However, the integrity of tools used in HSM is the key issue which has been the subject of this research. The collaborators are some of the leading machine tool developers such as Teer Coatings Ltd and Sandvick Coromant. This work develops a robust numerical model for precise modelling of heat partition in HSM. It represents an important development in the integrity analysis of HSM tools which would greatly impact the future design of new coated tools.
