This work proposes the use of inverse problem techniques in connection with COMSOL to estimate the heat flux and the temperature field on a turning cutting tool in transient regime. The main purpose of the present work is to present the improvements performed in relation to the authors’ previous work to develop the complex geometry of a machining process. Specification function, which is an inverse problem technique, was implemented in a program to estimate the heat flux applied on the tool, from the experimental temperature records. Once the heat flux is known, COMSOL is again utilized to obtain the temperature field on the cutting tool. The validation of the methodology is carried out by comparing the numerical and experimental results of temperature.
