The ef fi ciency of the metalworking processes highly depends on the performance of the implemented cutting tools that can be increased by studying its stress-strain state and temperature fi elds. Existing stress analysis methods either have a low accuracy or are inapplicable for research during the operation of the tools made of materials with high mechanical properties. In addition, the study of temperature fi elds using known methods is dif fi cult due to the small size of the cutting zone, high temperatures, and a heavy temperature gradient appearing during metal cutting. The purpose of this study is to develop new experimental methods for measuring the stress- strain and temperature fi elds in the cutting tool during its operation using laser interferometry. The methods include: obtaining interference fringe patterns using an interferometer with the original design, obtaining the tool deformation fi eld during the cutting process by recording the changes in interference fringe patterns using a high-speed camera, processing fringe patterns with the separation of deformations caused by heating and cutting forces, and calculating temperature fi elds and stress distributions using mechanical properties and the coef fi cient of thermal expansion of the tool material. The advantages of the developed methods include: applicability under real operating conditions of the cutting tool, ability to study the non-stationary stress-strain state and temperatures during an operation, and achievement of a high spatial resolution and a small fi eld of view for the investigated surface. Results and Discussion. The experimental study con fi rmed the ef fi ciency of the methods. The results of the study included the fi elds of stresses and temperatures obtained during the orthogonal cutting of heat-resistant steel with a tool made of cemented tungsten carbide WC-8Co . The developed methods can be used to study the cutting tool ef fi ciency at close to real conditions and in obtaining boundary conditions for the study stress-strain state of a workpiece material near the cutting zone.
