Now-a-days due to growing demand of high precision components to attain high performances, hardened steels with hardness above 45HRC have numerous applications in automotive gear, machine tool and die industry because of their superior characteristics (high thermal stability, high indentation resistance, high abrasiveness, low ductility and high value of hardness to modulus of elasticity ratio). For this, higher tool life of cutting inserts cryogenic treatment is considered as the most prominent method but no substantial researches have been found concerning the impact of cryogenic treatment on cermet inserts, especially in turning of hardened steels. Therefore, in the present experimental investigation, the comparative assessment of various responses such as cutting force, flank wear, crater wear, chip morphology and surface roughness were carried out during machining of hardened steel with both untreated and cryo-treated cermet inserts under dry cutting condition. Lastly, the input variables were optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) to evaluate the tool life for the economic analysis. The experimental result demonstrated that the uncoated deep cryo-treated with tempered cermet insert delivered better results in comparison to other cermet inserts. According to cost analysis, uncoated and deep cryo-treated with tempered cermet insert was found to be the most cost saving among other cermet inserts at the optimum cutting condition.

AISI D6 (hardness 65 HRC) is one of the hard-to-cut steel alloys and commonly used in mould and die making industries. In general, CBN and PCBN tools are used for machining hardened steel but its higher cost makes the use for limited applications. However, the usefulness of carbide tool with selective coatings is the best substitute having comparable tool life, and in terms of cost is approximately one-tenth of CBN tool. The present study highlights a detailed analysis on machinability investigation of hardened AISI D6 alloy die steel using newly developed SPPP-AlTiSiN coated carbide tools in finish dry turning operation. In addition, a comparative assessment has been performed based on the effectiveness of cutting tool performance of nanocomposite coating of AlTiN deposited by hyperlox PVD technique and a coating of AlTiSiN deposited by scalable pulsed power plasma (SPPP) technique. The required number of machining trials under varied cutting conditions (speed, depth of cut, feed) were based on L16 orthogonal array design which investigated the crater wear, flank wear, surface roughness, chip morphology, and cutting force in hard turning. Out of the two cutting tools, newly-developed nanocomposite (SPPP-AlTiSiN) coated carbide tool promises an improved surface finish, minimum cutting force, longer tool life due to lower value of crater & flank wears, and considerable improvement in tool life (i.e., by 47.83%). At higher cutting speeds, the crater wear length and flank wear increases whereas the surface roughness, crater wear width and cutting force decreases. Chip morphology confirmed the formation of serrated type saw tooth chips.

Super alloys have been used widely in all sectors (e.g., automobile, aerospace, biomedical, etc.) for their properties like high hardness, high wear, and corrosion resistance. A central challenge is the significantly higher temperature and pressure on the cutting tool, hence rapid tool wear and bad surface finish. In the present study, a FEM analysis has been developed to calculate the effect of preheating temperature on the surface of the workpiece on tool wear on machining Inconel 718. Usui's tool wear model has been implemented in DEFORM software. In order to validate the results, an experimental investigation has been carried out with same cutting conditions. The evaluated results were also compared with the room temperature machining condition. It was observed that the heating temperature increased the tool life by reducing tool wear, tool temperature compared to room temperature machining condition. The predicted tool wear, tool temperature, and chip morphology have been compared with the experimental results and good correlation was found.

Main aim of our recent research activity is the theoretical and experimental investigation of hard turning of AISI H13 (52 HRC) hot work tool steel. Chip removal processes are of essential importance in modern manufacturing technology. The demand for higher accuracy, better surface roughness, more economical production, and miniaturization are constantly growing. This determines continuous research and development of cutting processes under special circumstances. Numerical simulation plays an important role in evaluating of the cutting processes, and in prediction of forces, chip formation, distribution of strain, strain rate, stresses, and temperature. Cutting experiments with varying feed rate and cutting speed were carried out to determine their effect on surface components of resultant force. 3D finite element model was proposed to simulate the chip removal process during turning of workpiece material AISI H13 (52 HRC). This paper gives a summary about the comparison of theoretical and experimental results. It was found that boundary conditions, such as finite element size, mesh density, material separation method has significant influence on chip morphology and value of cutting force, too.
