Simulation research of the temperature distribution during face milling

Abstract

The paper presents the results of numerical calculations showing the temperature distribution of the workpiece (copper) during the face milling process. The ANSYS program was used for simulation studies. The calculations were carried out for two different cutting speeds, examining their influence on the temperature of the workpiece. The calculations constitute the basis for further research in order to determine the influence of variable temperature fields on the thermal expansion of the workpiece and to estimate the dimensional accuracy of the parts to be made during milling.
