Abstract
High-speed machining is one of the emerging cutting processes possessing tremendous potential in the arena of increased metal removal rates as well in achieving improved surface finish, burr-free edges, dimensional accuracy and a virtually stress-free component after machining. However, as known the performance of a machine tool depends on a number of factors of which the most important is the thermal behavior of the high-speed spindle. Thus, the temperature rise and the displacement due to temperature variation in the spindle components will severely affect the thermal characteristics of high-speed motorized spindle. Hence, it is significant to study its thermal behavior, and so in this paper, a coupled fluid–thermal (CFT) of a high-speed spindle is developed to simulate fluid-structural conjugate heat transfer. Based on the proposed model, the thermal characteristic of the high-speed spindle system is studied. The investigation revealed that the proposed CFT analysis for the motor cooling path has shown a minimum deviation in spindle temperature approximating to 7.6% when compared with that of attained experimental results at high speed.
