Article Minimization of Thermal Stresses in Instrumented Cutting Tools with Embedded Thin Film Thermocouples(Korean Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2026-04) Kesriklioglu, Sinan; Sivesoglu, AbdurrahmanThis study investigates the optimization of multilayer coatings on cutting tools to minimize thermal stress and temperature differences between the tool-chip interface and embedded thermocouples. The novelty of this study lies in directly linking coating architecture to temperature measurement accuracy, revealing that coatings not only affect heat dissipation and stress development but may also distort the apparent temperature recorded by embedded sensors. The types and thickness ranges of thin film layers in instrumented cutting tools were determined, and multi-physics finite element simulations were then used to evaluate coating configurations under thermal loading, assessing both stress distribution and temperature variance in the multilayer coating system. The Taguchi method, coupled with desirability analysis, identified optimal coating parameters that simultaneously minimize thermal stresses and temperature disparities, which are critical for accurate temperature measurements and extending the lifespan of cutting inserts. This framework enables a controllable trade-off between mechanical reliability and thermal measurement fidelity. The results reveal significant interactions among coating configurations (settings) and between thermal and mechanical properties of the materials used, demonstrating that careful selection of layer materials and thicknesses optimizes stress and temperature responses yielding thermal stress of 1628 MPa (second lowest and only 0.4 % higher than the minimum) and temperature difference of 12.1 degrees C (third lowest and 55 % lower than average). These findings underscore the potential of precise coating design to enhance tool performance and longevity in high temperature machining applications.
