Abstract
The objective of this study is to model the temperature distributions in milling analytically. In this article, previous research on heat generation and heat dissipation in the machining process was reviewed and then the temperature model in intermittent cutting with continuously varying chip thickness was established. The experimental study to measure cutting temperature in milling Ti6Al4V utilizing semi-artificial thermocouple was presented. The predicted and experimental results for milling process were presented and compared. The results showed that the proposed mathematical model could predict cutting temperature with high accuracy.
