Does anyone know if there exists some model that describe how heat distribution varies depending on the material to be cut, the material of the tool and cutting conditions?
I suggest one more paper dealing in the matter at hand, i.e. Transaction of the ASME, Journal of Engineering for Industry, from February 1976, "Investigation of the Flank Wear of Cemented Carbide Tools" by E. Lenz; Z. Kats and A. Ber. You can find this paper in my list of contributions.
