在硬质金属车削过程中，切削热导致工件热弹性变形，从而导致形状和尺寸偏差。为了将这些偏差降至最低，需要控制热弹性变形。其前提是了解影响因果关系和预测工件行为的能力。因此，采用有限元法（FEM）对工件进行建模，并通过参数选择模拟温度和变形。将有限元计算结果与实验研究结果进行了比较。

During turning of hard metals, cutting heat causes thermo-elastic deformation of the workpiece which results in shape- and dimension deviations. In order to minimize these deviations, control of thermo-elastic deformation is required. The prerequisite for this is knowledge of the influence-cause-effect relationship and the ability to predict workpiece behaviour. For this reason, the workpiece is modeled by means of the finite element method (FEM) and temperature and deformation are simulated by parameter selection. Results of the finite element calculations are compared with results of experimental investigations.
