概要(目的・用途・実施内容)/ Abstract (Aim, Use Applications and Contents)

An array of microscale thermocouples, which able to monitor the on-site temperature raising on tool-chip interface and tool-workpiece interface, was integrated on the cutting tool. The embedded sensors featured a fast response and online temperature measurement during the continuous metal machining process. 

実験 / Experimental

Uncoated WC–Co cemented carbide, which is one of the most common types of cutting tool materials, was selected as the substrate for the integrate of our microsensor. To investigate the temperature gradient on the tool–chip contact area and on the relatively narrow tool–workpiece interface, four one-polar TCs with a diameter of 125 μm were embedded into the tool. A nickel-based chromel from the K-type TC produced by OMEGA Corp. was chosen as the positive electrode, while the adjacent tool material was set as the negative end. An insulation coating of 4 μm was deposited using the parylene coater SCS PDS2010. A schematic of the sensitivity test is shown in Fig. 1 (a). A 5 W CW laser with a 5 mm diameter was focused onto a 1 mm diameter spot and heated to a position close to the embedded TC. The temperature distribution during laser heating must be measured to record both the hot-junction temperature and pin temperature simultaneously. For this purpose, infrared thermography was employed, and it was set in the direction normal to the tool-rake surface at a safe distance. Blackbody paint with an emissivity of 0.94, which can tolerate temperatures of up to 500 °C, was uniformly coated on the measured surface to ensure that the emissivity maintained a stable and known value.   Fig. 1 (a) Schematic diagram of sensor calibration experiment (b) relationship between measure temperature in laser contact hot junction, pin of compensation wire and thermal induced voltage, calibration curve of integrated sensor (c) output signal of the integrated sensor caused by the pulse laser.

結果と考察 / Results and Discussion

The measured temperature data for the hot junction and pin are shown in Fig. 1(b). The Seebeck coefficient of the sensing system  was then calculated. The results reveal that the Seebeck coefficient (i.e., the sensitivity of the embedded TC) remains almost unchanged regardless of the rising temperature and stabilizes at approximately 45 μV/°C. The dynamic response characteristics of the sensor-integrated tool were investigated with the application of a pulsed laser. The laser in the dynamic calibration generates a pulse temperature excitation with a width of 0.5s. The spot diameter, power, and heating position are consistent with those in the static calibration test. The maximum sampling frequency of the data acquisition device was 120 kHz, which was sufficient for collecting the output signal in the dynamic test. The response time corresponds to the rising time in the range 0% to 63.2% total step change of the output voltage. It is the most important dynamic parameter of the temperature sensor and reflects the response speed, especially in discontinuous cutting with a high rotating speed. As shown in Fig. 1(c), the duration of the output voltage rise from 0% to 63.2 % of the final voltage step, which is the response time  of the sensor, was approximately 0.022s. The duration of the output voltage rise from 0% to 100% of the final voltage step, which is the stabilization time , was about 0.282s. It is demonstrated that the sensor-integrated tool has a sufficiently fast dynamic response. The time for the temperature measuremet value to stabilize is also fast enough for monitoring temperatures in the machining operations.The measured temperature data for the hot junction and pin are shown in Fig. 1(b).
