Research On The Cutting Performance Of The Self-cooling Heat Pipe Lathe Tool

With the development of society and people’s environment awareness havegradually improved, the green manufacturing is the heading of cutting processing withno pollution, energy saving and environmental protection. Do not use cutting fluids oruse less cutting fluids become the trend of the cutting development. But, how toscattered the heat of the centralized heat of cutting area is the focus of researchrecently. Based on this problem, the superconductor-heat pipe was used in cuttingprocessing. The problem of the cutting heat concentrated is solved by the heat pipewhich has high efficiency heat conduction and constant temperature properties. Baseon this concept, the heat pipe lathe tools were designed. The cutting force, cuttingtemperature, cutting power, residual stress and temperature field of lathe tools wasinvestigated by the comparative experiment and finite element simulations.The main content of this paper was briefly described as follows:The design idea of heat pipe cutting tools was put forward from theoretic, and theheat pipe type and working medium of choice were introduced in this paper. Theefficient heat conduction performance and constant temperature characteristics wereverified by experimental study of heat pipe.The single factor experiment method was used in cutting performanceexperiment of the heat pipe tools. For the practical application of heat pipe lathe toolsprovides the basis, the different of cutting force, cutting temperature and residualstress were researched between the heat pipe lathe tools and common lathe tools.The cutting parameters on the effect of cutting process were researched by thefinite element analysis method, and the3D model of heat pipe lathe tools wasestablished. Heat pipe can effective scatter the heat of cutting area was proved byusing finite element analysis and contrastive method, and the concentrated heatproblem gets alleviating. The characteristics of the heat pipe lathe tool are speed upscattering the concentrated heat on the cutting area, and this was proved by numericalsimulation.
