Abstract:
The machining industry is constantly seeking ways to improve process efficiency and extend the lifespan of cutting tools. One recent focus has been the analysis of thermal contact resistance and the use of thermally insulating coatings. This study aims to investigate how these elements influence the thermal behavior of cutting tools in industrial turning processes, with the objective of optimizing machining and ensuring longer tool life. The theoretical foundation will explore fundamental concepts of heat transfer, highlighting the importance of insulating coatings and how they affect tool performance. Aspects such as thermal conductivity, thermal insulation, and heat dissipation mechanisms will also be addressed to provide a deeper understanding of the phenomenon. The proposed methodology for this study will employ numerical simulations using CAE (computer-aided engineering) software to model heat transfer within coated tools and their supports. Additionally, thermal contact resistance at the tool-support interface will be considered, contributing to better convergence and a more comprehensive analysis of tool thermal behavior under real working conditions. The practical implications of these findings will be relevant to the machining industry, as they indicate that the proper selection of coatings can result in more efficient processes, higher cutting speeds, and reduced tool wear. These insights provide a solid foundation for decision-making in tool selection and machining process optimization, contributing to continuous improvement in quality and productivity in the metalworking industry.
