Abstract

The present work develops a learning methododology based on experiments related to the cutting temperature concept in turning processes. This proposal allows students to measure the temperature actually reached during a typical turning operation with a semi-automatic lathe. Temperature data are collected by a thermographic camera, which implies acquiring competences in this technique. The different tests involved in the practical experiment are defined for various cutting speeds and feed rates, and for a constant depth of cut. Two different materials are considered to point out the influence of turning parameters on cutting temperature.
