In this study, an analytical model is developed in order to calculate the temperature distribution in orthogonal cutting with dual-zone contact at the rake face. The study focuses on heat generation at the primary shear zone and at the rake face. The material behavior at the primary shear zone is represented by Johnson-Cook constitutive equation whereas the contact at the rake face is modeled by sticking and sliding friction zones. This new temperature distribution model allows obtaining the maximum temperature at the rake face and helps determining two dimensional temperature distribution in the chip. The simulation results obtained from the developed model are also compared with experimental results where good agreement is observed
