Ti6Al4V alloy is widely used in the aircraft industry, marine and the commercial applications due to its excellent comprehensive properties. However, its poor machinability prevents it from application widely, and the rapid tool wear is one of the key factors. The FEM models of cutting titanium alloy are established. The effect of tool wear on chip morphology, cutting temperature and cutting force are studied. The simulation results show that: the cutting force and cutting temperature will rise with the increase of tool wear. Furthermore, the degree of chip deformation will improve, but the frequency of serrated chip tooth occurred will decrease.

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.

Considering that iron-based super alloy is a kind of difficult-to-cut material, it is easy to produce work hardening and serious tool wear during machining. Therefore, this work aims to explore the chip change characteristics and tool wear mechanism during the processing of iron-based super alloy, calculate the fractal dimensions of chip morphology and tool wear morphology, and use fractals to analyze their change trend. Meanwhile, a new cutting tool with a super ZX coating is used for a high-speed dry turning experiment. The results indicate that the morphology of the chip is saw-tooth, and its color changes gradually, due to the oxidation reaction. The main wear mechanisms of the tool involve abrasive wear, adhesive wear, oxidation wear, coating spalling, microcracking and chipping. The fractal dimension of the tool wear surface and chip is increased with the improvement of cutting speed. This work investigates the fractal characteristics of chip morphology and tool wear morphology. The fractal dimension changes regularly with the change of tool wear, which plays an important role in predicting this tool wear. It is also provides some guidance for the efficient processing of an iron-based super alloy.

Tool coatings can improve the machinability performance of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys. Therefore, in the current work, high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy was carried out to determine the performance of various coated cutting tools. Five types of coated carbide inserts – monolayer TiCN, AlTiN, TiAlN and two layers TiCN + TiN and AlTiN + TiN, which were deposited by physical vapour deposition – were employed in the experiments. Tool wear, cutting force, surface roughness and chip morphology were evaluated and compared for different coated tools. To understand the tool wear modes and mechanisms, detailed scanning electron microscope analysis combined with energy dispersive X-ray of the worn inserts were conducted. Abrasion, adhesion, chipping and mechanical crack on flank face and coating delamination, adhesion and crater wear on rake face were observed during high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. In terms of tool wear, the lowest value was obtained with TiCN-coated insert. It was also found that at the beginning of the machining pass TiAlN-coated insert and at the end of machining TiCN-coated insert gave the lowest cutting force and surface roughness values. No change in chip morphology was observed with different coated inserts.

Titanium alloys are desirable materials for aerospace industry because of their excellent combination of high specific strength, lightweight, fracture resistant characteristics, and general corrosion resistance. Therefore, the chip morphology is very important in the study of machinability of metals as well as the study of cutting tool wear. The chips are generally classified into four groups: continuous chips, chips with built-up-edges (BUE), discontinuous chips and serrated chips. . The chip morphology and segmentation play a predominant role in determining machinability and tool wear during the machining process. The mechanics of segmented chip formation during orthogonal cutting of titanium alloy Ti–6Al–4V are studied in detail with the aid of high-speed imaging of the chip formation zone. The finite element model of chip formation of Ti–6Al–4V is suggested as a discontinuous type chip at lower cutting speeds developing into a continuous, but segmented, chip at higher cutting speeds. The prediction by using finite-element modeling method and simulation process in machining while create chips formation can contribute in reducing the cost of manufacturing in terms of prolongs the cutting tool life and machining time saving.

With the development of the coating technology, coated tools have been widely used in processing industries. Thread turning is one of its applications. The performance of coated thread inserts varies with the change of coating material, coating thickness, matrix material and tool structure. Two tungsten-cobalt type alloy matrix, TiAlN coated thread inserts with different coating thickness, rake face type had been employed to conduct the thread turning experiments. By analyzing the cutting forces, chip formation and tool wear, it was found that insert with coating thickness of 4.35 μm would result in less tool wear under MQL condition, smaller cutting force, better chip morphology under dry condition compared with insert with coating thickness of 2.38 μm.
