Investigation of Temperature Distribution in High-Speed End Mill Assisted by Heat Pipe Cooling

Abstract:

A combined numerical and experimental study is performed to analyze the feasibility of using heat pipe cooling in milling applications. In this model, it is assumed that the end mill is subjected to a static heat source which verifies the analysis and feasibility of using heat pipe cooling in milling operations. The performance of heat pipe mill model is approximated using a solid cylinder model of pure conduction. Both the numerical and experimental studies show that the use of a heat pipe in a mill can reduce the temperature field significantly.
