Abstract This paper investigates the effects of tool wear on the machined surface integrity characteristics, including the surface roughness, surface topography, residual stress, microhardness and microstructure, during ball-end milling of Inconel 718. Tool wear, tool lifetime, and cutting force are measured. In addition, a two-dimensional finite element-based model is developed to investigate the cutting temperature distribution in the chip–tool–workpiece contact area. Results show that the ball nose end mill achieves tool lifetime of approximately 350 min. The cutting forces increase sharply with a greater tool flank wear width, while the highest cutting temperature has a decreasing tend at a flank wear width of 0.3 mm. Higher tool flank wear width produces larger surface roughness and deteriorative surface topography. A high-amplitude (approximately −700 MPa) and deep layer (approximately 120 mm) of compressive residual stress are induced by a worn tool with 0.3 mm flank wear width. The surface microhardness induced by new tool is larger than that induced by worn tool. Plastic deformation and strain streamlines are observed within 10 mm depth beneath the surface. The results in this paper provide an optimal tool wear criterion which integrates the surface integrity requirements and the tool lifetime for ball-end finish milling of Inconel 718.

Machined surface integrity characteristics, including surface stresses, physical-mechanical properties and metallographic structures, play important roles in the fatigue performance of machined components. This work aimed at investigating the effects of machined surface integrity on high-temperature low-cycle fatigue life. The process parameters were optimized to obtain required surface integrity and fatigue life of the turning superalloy Inconel 718. The relationships between low-cycle fatigue life and machined surface integrity characterization parameters were established based on the low-cycle fatigue tests at a high temperature (650 °C). The sensitivities of turning process parameters to high-temperature low-cycle fatigue life were analyzed, and the optimization parameters were proposed with the goal of antifatigue manufacturing. Experimental results indicated that the impact order of the characterization parameters of machined surface integrity on the high-temperature low-cycle fatigue life were the degree of work hardening RHV, the residual stress in the cutting speed direction S22, the fatigue stress concentration factor Kf, the degree of grain refinement RD and the residual stress in the feed direction S33. In the range of turning parameters of the experiments in this research, the cutting speeds could be 80~110 m/min, and the feed rate could be 0.10~0.12 mm/rev to achieve a longer high-temperature low-cycle fatigue life. The results can be used for guiding the fatigue-resistant manufacturing research of aeroengine superalloy turbine disks.

Surface integrity is becoming important to satisfy the increasing requirements service life of machined parts. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of cutting speeds on surface integrity of Inconel 718. Experiments are conducted on a CNC machining center under various cutting speeds. The machined surface integrity is evaluated in terms of surface roughness, microhardness and residual stress. Experimental results show that machined surface integrity of Inconel 718 is sensitivity to the variations of cutting speeds. The surface roughness firstly increases with the cutting speeds increasing at the range from 50 m/min to 200 m/min, then decreases with the further increasing of the cutting speeds. For microhardness, it can be seen that work-hardening for the machined surface is serious. The surface residual stresses are tensile ones at the range of the selected cutting speeds from 50 m/min to 3,000 m/min in this research.

Titanium alloy Ti1023 is a typical difficult-to-cut material. Tool wear is easy to occur in machining Ti1023, which has a significant negative effect on surface integrity. Turning is one of the common methods to machine Ti1023 parts and machined surface integrity has a direct influence on the fatigue life of parts. To control surface integrity and improve anti-fatigue behavior of Ti1023 parts, it has an important significance to study the influence of tool wear on the surface integrity and fatigue life of Ti1023 in turning. Therefore, the effect of tool wear on the surface roughness, microhardness, residual stress, and plastic deformation layer of Ti1023 workpieces by turning and low-cycle fatigue tests were studied. Meanwhile, the influence mechanism of surface integrity on anti-fatigue behavior also was analyzed. The experimental results show that the change of surface roughness caused by worn tools has the most influence on anti-fatigue behavior when the tool wear VB is from 0.05 to 0.25 mm. On the other hand, the plastic deformation layer on the machined surface could properly improve the anti-fatigue behavior of specimens that were proved in the experiments. However, the higher surface roughness and significant surface defects on surface machined utilizing the worn tool with VB = 0.30 mm, which leads the anti-fatigue behavior of specimens to decrease sharply. Therefore, to ensure the anti-fatigue behavior of parts, the value of turning tool wear VB must be rigorously controlled under 0.30 mm during finishing machining of titanium alloy Ti1023.
