Description
Summary:Nickel-based superalloy, Inconel 718, is widely recognized as a difficult-to-machine material. The cutting temperature is a key factor in high-speed milling, which significantly affects tool wear, surface integrity of the workpiece, and chip morphology. In this study, a series of high-speed milling experiments are conducted on Inconel 718 using an infrared temperature-measurement system. The resulting temperature distributions under various cutting parameters are analyzed to identify the primary factors affecting tool wear and surface quality. These findings offer valuable theoretical support for understanding the thermal characteristics of high-speed milling and contribute to the optimization of cutting strategies for nickel-based superalloys.
