Abstract Carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites are widely used in high-tech industries like the automobile and aerospace sectors, but the wear resistance of tools is one of the most significant restrictions in machining CFRP. In this study, bionic cutting tools based on surface microstructures of blood clams were fabricated to improve the dry cutting performance of CFRP. Three types of bionic cutting tools with different size parameters were applied in dry cutting test. The three-axis cutting forces and the cutting temperature of the processed workpiece were measured. The average friction coefficient between the rake face and the chip was calculated, and the morphology of the tools wear were observed. The results showed that bionic microstructures with appropriate size parameters can extremely improve the cutting performance of CFRP for tool in turning.

To improve the friction conditions and reduce adhesion at the tool's rake face in dry cutting of aluminum alloys, three types of laser surface textures were generated on the rake face of cemented carbide tools. Orthogonal dry cutting tests on 6061 aluminum alloy tubes were carried out with the textured and conventional tools (CT). The effect of the texture geometry on the cutting performance was assessed in terms of cutting forces, friction coefficient, chip compression ratio, shear angle, tool adhesions, chip morphology, and machined surface quality. The results show that the textured tools can improve the cutting performance at low cutting speeds, and that the tool with rectangular type of textures is the most effective.

AbstractWith the concern of the environment, green dry cutting technology is getting more and more attention and self-lubricating tool technology plays an important role in dry cutting. Due to the demand for high temperature performance of tools during dry cutting process, cemented carbide with Ni3Al as the binder phase has received extensive attention due to its excellent high temperature strength and high temperature oxidation resistance. In this paper, WC-TiC-Ni3Al-CaF2 graded self-lubricating material and tools were prepared by microwave heating method, and its microstructure, mechanical properties and cutting performance were studied. Results show that gradient self-lubricating material can be quickly prepared by microwave heating technology, and the strength is equivalent to that of conventional heating technology. CaF2 not only plays a role in self-lubrication, but also refines the grain of the material. A reasonable gradient design can improve the mechanical properties of the material. When the gradient distribution exponent is n1 = 2, the material has high mechanical properties. Cutting experiments show that the WC-TiC-Ni3Al-CaF2 functional gradient self-lubricating tool has better cutting performance than the homogeneous WC-TiC-Ni3Al hard alloys.

Most of the researches on the properties of micro-textured tools are based on an orthogonal test, while the interaction between micro-textured parameters is ignored. Therefore, this thesis is based on an interaction test to study the cutting performance of cutting tools. According to the chip morphology obtained from the interactive test, the micro texture diameter of 60 μm is obtained when the cutting is stable. It was also found that the synergistic effect of multiple mesoscopic geometric features had a significant influence on cutting performance. By analysis, we found the optimized parameters for the milling tool were D = 60 μm, l = 100 μm, l1 = 150 μm, r = 60 μm. Furthermore, prediction models of the cutting performance were established by univariate linear regression and the validity of these models was verified. Thus, this thesis provides a reference for improving the performance of cutting tools and for achieving efficient and high-quality machining of titanium alloys.

Si3N4/TiN nanocomposite tool and Si3N4/Ti(C7N3) nanocomposite tool were prepared. The cutting performance and wear mechanism of Si3N4-based nanocomposite ceramic tool was investigated by comparison with a commercial sialon ceramic tool in machining of 45 steel. Si3N4-based nanocomposite ceramic tool exhibits the better wear resistance than sialon at the relatively high cutting speed. The increased cutting performance of Si3N4-based nanocomposite ceramic tool is ascribed to the higher mechanical properties. Nano-particles can refine the matrix grains and improve the bonding strength among the matrix grains of Si3N4-based nanocomposite ceramic tool materials. It contributes to an improved wear resistance of the cutting tools during machining.

PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) multilayer coatings were extensively used in cutting tools because of their relatively high wear and corrosion resistance, adhesion strength, hot hardness, and low coefficient of friction. The object of this study is to measure flank wear of dry cutting drills of different PVD coatings, including TiN, TiCN, and TiAlN by using drilling force experiments and machine vision technique incorporated with image registration technique. To obtain an optimal combination of cutting parameters quickly, we applied Taguchi method to plan the drilling experiment. The experimental results show that coating layer is the most important control factor for cutting and the TiAlN-coating drills generate least wear and thus has the longest tool life.

The effect of oxygen addition on oxidation behavior of the β-Si3N4 ceramics with 5 mass% Y2O3 and 2 or 4 mass% Al2O3 was investigated by performing oxidation tests in air at 1300° to 1400°C and cutting performance tests. These tests were intended to clarify their ware resistance as cutting tools. The results of mass change, SEM observation and composition analysis of the specimens before and after oxidation test showed that as the Al2O3 content in the β-Si3N4 ceramics increased, mass changes resulted higher oxidation during which process pores and cracks formed due to the release of N2 gas. The values of hardness and bending strength of the specimens with relatively small amount of 2 mass% Al2O3, which formed solid solution in the Si3N4 structure [Si6-zAlzOzN8-z (z = 0.1)], showed larger than those of the specimen with 4 mass% Al2O3 (z = 0.2). The specimens group added with Al2O3 of 2 mass% (Z = 0.1) also showed high wear resistance. From this, we could conclude that the mechanical properties of β-Si3N4 ceramics depending on oxygen introduction is much effective on cutting performance improvements of the cutting performance of β-Si3N4 ceramics.

Modern trends in metal cutting, high speed/feed machining, dry cutting and hard cutting set more demanding characteristics for cutting tool materials. The exposed parts of the cutting edges must be protected against the severe loading conditions and wear. The most significant coatings methods for cutting tools are PVD and CVD/MTCVD today. The choice of the right substrate or the right protective coating in the specific machining operation can have serious impact on machining productivity and economy. In many cases the deposition of the cutting tool with a hard coating increases considerably its cutting performance and tool life. The coating protects the tool against abrasion, adhesion, diffusion, formation of comb cracks and other wear phenomena.
