...Lin Zhu; Tien-Chien Jen; Yi-Hsin Yen; Xiao-Ling Kong In this paper, the feasibility and effectiveness of heat pipe cooling in end milling operations are investigated. A new embedded heat pipe technology was utilized to remove the heat generated at the tool-interface in end milling processes...

... reductions, therefore, may delay the onset of the coating failure and offer tool life extension. In this study, a passive heat-dissipation device, the heat pipe, has been incorporated in composite machining. Though it is intuitive that heat transfer enhanced by the heat pipe may reduce tool temperatures...
