Problem statement and the research purpose. Problem statement and purpose of the work: This paper presents a method for predicting the temperature of carbide tools used for cutting gear wheels with the Power Skiving method. This task is particularly relevant for automated equipment, including gear-cutting machines. Methodology. Reliability is defined by the thermal state of the cutter tooth at which a thermal crack will occur on its top blade, leading to breakage and loss of system performance. The heat generated by a single tooth when cutting a gear wheel is determined by calculating the total cutting work and overcoming friction on the contact surfaces of the cutting wedge, as well as the heat balance in the cutting zone. Results. The temperature at the top of the tooth is determined by the volume in which it is generated, i. e. within the area of contact between the chip and the front surface, as well as the permissible width of the wear area on the rear surface. Scientific novelty and practical significance. The developed methodology enables the initial data to be adjusted to ensure the machine operates without issue. If the maximum temperature exceeds the heat resistance limit of the tool material, the material of the cutting plates must be adjusted or the cutting modes (cutting speed, number of passes and cutting depth) must be changed. Adjusting the operation and selecting the best option can be based on comparing the time required for each option. Scopes of further investigations on the subject of the paper. Further research will involve conducting an experiment and comparing the results obtained with those calculated analytically.
