TY - JOUR TI - Cutting temperature measurement and material machinability AU - Nedić Bogdan P AU - Erić Milan D JN - Thermal Science PY - 2014 VL - 18 IS - 11 SP - 259 EP - 268 PT - Article AB - Cutting temperature is very important parameter of cutting process. Around 90% of heat generated during cutting process is then away by sawdust, and the rest is transferred to the tool and workpiece. In this research cutting temperature was measured with artificial thermocouples and question of investigation of metal machinability from aspect of cutting temperature was analyzed. For investigation of material machinability during turning artificial thermocouple was placed just below the cutting top of insert, and for drilling thermocouples were placed through screw holes on the face surface. In this way was obtained simple, reliable, economic and accurate method for investigation of cutting machinability.
