Titanium alloys are widely utilized in aerospace thanks to their excellent combination of high-specific strength, fracture, corrosion resistance characteristics, etc. However, titanium alloys are difficult-to-machine materials. Tool wear is thus of great importance to understand and quantitatively predict tool life. In this study, the wear of coated carbide tool in milling Ti-6Al-4V alloy was assessed by characterization of the worn tool cutting edge. Furthermore, a tool wear model for end milling cutter is established with considering the joint effect of cutting speed and feed rate for characterizing tool wear process and predicting tool wear. Based on the proposed tool wear model equivalent tool life is put forward to evaluate cutting tool life under different cutting conditions. The modelling process of tool wear is given and discussed according to the specific conditions. Experimental work and validation are performed for coated carbide tool milling Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

Abstract. This paper presents the outcome of a study on heat assisted end milling of Inconel 718 using inducting heating technique conducted to enhance the machinability of the material. The heating temperature maintained below the phase transformation temperature was aimed at softening the top removable material layers. The experimental results of both conventional and heat assisted machining were compared. The machinability of Inconel 718 under these conditions was evaluated in terms of tool life, tool wear morphology and chatter. The advantages of Induction heating is demonstrated by an longer tool life and lower chatter. The study showed that preheated machining facilitates up to 80% increase of tool life over conventional machining conducted using TiAlN coated carbide inserts.

A tool-life model based on the assumption that wear and fracture are the causes of tool death is re-examined from the theoretical standpoint, and extended to include the effect of cutting speed on the fracture-induced failure rate. A stochastic model for multi edge cutting tools is also proposed. This enables the overall statistics to be derived from the data for each individual cutting edge.

Stavax Supreme material is classified as difficult-to-machine material. The difficulty does not preclude the use of this material, especially in the mold industry. In this experiment, high speed end milling of Stavax Supreme (52 HRC) was investigated using five different types of tool. Performance of the cutting tools was compared with respect to tool life and surface roughness of the workpiece. Machining process was conducted in two parameters where each parameter used different rotation spindle speed and feed rate but same chip per tooth removal rate. The best cutting performance was obtained with TiN and TiCN. TiAlN tool also proved to be suitable for high speed end milling of Stavax Supreme but for finishing process only because fast tool wear in high spindle speed. The Xceed coated tool is more suitable for roughing process only in high spindle speed.

Most published research works on machining Inconel 718 have been mainly concerned with turning, while the milling process has received little attention due to the complexity of the process. In this paper a series of end-milling experiments of Inconel 718 has been carried out in order to: (a) optimize cutting variables, (b) investigate tool life values and relationships and (c) investigate surface roughness. The machining parameters have been optimized by measuring cutting forces. Tool life tests have been carried out using carbide inserts and the surface roughness has been analysed.

Hardened materials like AISI H13 steel are generally regarded as s difficult to cut materials because of their hardness due to intense of carbon content, which however allows them to be used extensively in the hot working tools, dies and moulds. The challenges in machining steels at their hardened state led the way to many research works in amelioration its machinability. In this paper, preheating technique has been used to improve the machinability of H13 hardened steel for different cutting conditions. An experimental study has been performed to assess the effect of workpiece preheating using induction heating system to enhance the machinability of AISI H13. The preheated machining of AISI H13 for two different cutting conditions with TiAlN coated carbide tool is evaluated by examining tool wear, surface roughness and vibration. The advantages of preheated machining are demonstrated by a much extended tool life and stable cut as lower vibration/chatter amplitudes. The effects of preheating temperature were also investigated on the chip morphology during the end milling of AISI H13 tool steel, which resulted in reduction of chip serration frequency. The preheating temperature was maintained below the phase change temperature of AISI H13. The experimental results show that preheated machining led to appreciable increasing tool life compared to room temperature machining. Abrasive wear, attrition wear and diffusion wear are found to be a very prominent mechanism of tool wear. It has been also observed that preheated machining of the material lead to better surface roughness values as compared to room temperature machining.

AbstractIn this research, a generalized tool life modelling for considering non-stationary cutting conditions was developed . In particular, for the first time in literature, the model was conceived for predicting the life of the tool when spindle speed variation SSV, one of the most effective techniques for suppressing regenerative chatter vibrations, is used. The proposed formulation takes into account the main cutting parameters and the parameters associated to the SSV. A dedicated experimental campaign of turning tests was executed and the data were used for modelling purposes. The model validation was carried out performing additional tool life tests. According to the analyzed technological scenario, it was found that the generalized formulation can be used for predicting the tool life both at constant spindle machining CSM and adopting SSV with the maximum estimating error of 6%.
