In this paper, the effect of machining parameters including cutting velocity, feed rate, and tool material on machining power of EN-AC 48000 aluminium alloy has been studied. A L27 Taguchi's standard orthogonal array has been applied as experimental design to investigate the effect of the factors and their interaction. Twenty seven machining tests have been accomplished with two random repetitions, resulting in fifty four experiments. EN-AC 48000 is an important alloy in automotive and aerospace industries. Machining of this alloy is of vital importance due to build-up edge and tool wear. Machining power is an essential parameter affecting the tool life, dimensional accuracy, and cutting efficiency. Three types of cutting tools including coated carbide (CD 1810), uncoated carbide (H10), and polycrystalline diamond (CD10) have been used in this study. Statistical analysis has been employed to study the effect of factors and their interactions using ANOVA analysis. Moreover, optimal factor levels have been presented using signal to noise ratio (S/N) analysis. Also, regression model have been provided to predict the machining power. Finally, the results of confirmation tests have been presented to verify and compare the adequacy of the predictive models.

Cup wheel grinding and etching pretreatment are widely used in complex coated cemented carbide cutting tools machining process. The two processes determine different surface properties due to various mechanical and thermal loads in grinding and complex chemical reaction in etching pretreatment. In this paper, the effect of the grinding wheel speed, the grinding feed rate and the etching time with the Murakami and acid solution on the residual stress and surface topography of coated cemented carbide cutting tools are investigated. After each process, the samples are characterized by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It is found that the grinding wheel speed has a significant influence on residual stress measured in the WC phase. Etching by Murakami generated smooth surface, which partly removed the near-surface residual stress quickly but cannot eliminate.

This article studies the specific features of cathode vacuum arc deposition of coatings used in the production of cutting tools. The detailed analysis of the major drawbacks of arc-Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) methods has contributed to the development of the processes of filtered cathodic vacuum arc deposition to form nanoscale multilayered composite coatings of increased efficiency. This is achieved through the formation of nanostructure, increase in strength of adhesion of coating to substrate up to 20%, and reduction of such dangerous coating surface defects as macro- and microdroplets up to 80%. This article presents the results of the studies of various properties of developed nanoscale multilayered composite coating. The certification tests of carbide tool equipped with cutting inserts with developed nanoscale multilayered composite coating compositions in longitudinal turning (continuous cutting) and end symmetric milling, and intermittent cutting of steel C45 and hard-to-cut nickel alloy of NiCr20TiAl showed advantages of tool with nanoscale multilayered composite coating as compared to the tool without coating. The lifetime of the carbide inserts with developed NMCC based on the system of Ti–TiN–(NbZrTiCr)N (filtered cathodic vacuum arc deposition) was increased up to 5–6 times in comparison with the control tools without coatings and up to 1.5–2.0 times in comparison with nanoscale multilayered composite coating based on the system of Ti–TiN–(NbZrTiCr)N (standard arc-PVD technology).

Cemented carbides are the most common cutting tools for machining various grades of steels. In this study, wear behavior of two different cemented carbide grades with roughly the same fraction of binder phase and carbide phase but different grain size, in turning austenitic stainless steel is investigated. Wear tests were carried out against 316L stainless steel at 180 and 250 m/min cutting speeds.The worn surface of cutting tool is characterized using high resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and 3D optical profiler.The wear of cemented carbide in turning stainless steel is controlled by both chemical and mechanical wear. Plastic deformation, grain fracture and chemical wear is observed on flank and rake face of the cutting insert. In the case of fine-grained, the WC grains has higher surface contact with the adhered material which promotes higher chemical reaction and degradation of WC grains, so chemical wear resistance of the composites is larger when WC grains are larger. The hardness of cemented carbide increase linearly by decreasing grain size, therefore mechanical wear resistance of the composites is larger when WC grains are smaller.

The paper describes the technology of producing a wear resistant silicon nitride coating on cemented carbide cutting tools and factors affecting its structure and thickness. A review of domestic and foreign authors’ works is given on the properties and applications of cemented carbides in cutting, drilling, die stamping tools, wear resistant materials, for chipless processing of wood, plastics. It is noted that one of the promising ways of cutting tool development is using indexable throwaway inserts (ITI) with wear resistant coatings. The choice of silicon nitride as a material for cemented carbide tool coating is justified. The data on silicon nitride deposition methods, investigation of cutting tool structures and properties are provided. Laboratory and factory tests of Si3N4-coated cemented carbide tools demonstrated coating applicability in improving the wear resistance and lifetime of cutting inserts.
