The finite difference method (FDM)-based model proposed in this paper offers very rapid and reasonably accurate solutions. Finite difference-based simulation results are validated with infrared thermal measurements which are determined from the machining of AISI 1050 and AISI H13 materials under various cutting conditions.Industrial engineeringManufacturing EngineeringMaterials scienceJournal Article1873-4774262135900061Q28833
