Cutting Tool Materials

Some engineering materials have excellent performances, but the machining of these materials is a problem. It is very inadequate to meet machining requirement only using traditional cutting tool materials. Therefore, exploring the machinability of difficult-to-machine materials and applying appropriate cutting tool materials have drawn much attention in metal cutting industry for guarantied product quality and productivity. Cubic boron nitride (CBN) has been recognized as one of the most suitable cutting tool materials due to its high hardness, high wear resistance, high chemical inertness, and excellent chemical stability in high temperature. Research on various aspects of CBN cutting performances has been conducted in recent years. This paper presents the progress on machining difficult-to-machine materials using CBN cutting tools.

Cutting Tool Materials

CeramTec AG is a well-known manufacturer of cutting tool materials, especially for inserts based on silicon nitride. Some years ago it started the production of alpha/beta-SiAlONs because of their superior properties. Due to strong competition in the cutting tool business there is a constant need for further development of the cutting tool materials. One possibility to increase wear resistanceand life time of cutting tools is to increase the hardness and maintaining the good toughness at the same time. This can be done by adding hard particles like e.g. SiC to an alpha/beta- SiAlON. In 2003 an improved grade had been presented: a SiC-reinforced alpha/beta-SiAlON. This composite material shows a significantly reduced wear during machining of cast iron. The effect of SiC-addition on mechanical properties is discussed.

Cutting Tool Materials

In this study, aluminum-based composites reinforced with various amounts of α-Si3N4 were produced by powder metallurgy (P/M). The machinability properties of MMCs were determined by means of cutting forces and surface roughness. Machining tests were carried out by using PCD and K10 cutting tools. Increasing of Si3N4 volume fraction in the matrix resulted in a decrease of the surface roughness and turning forces. PCD cutting tools showed better cutting performance than K10 tools. Surface roughness and turning forces were decreased significantly by PCD tool.

Three grades of nodular cast iron (60, 80, and 100) were tested to determine the tool life of carbide and ceramic cutting tool materials. Tool life for all tools was much greater for grade 60 than for 80 and 100. Cast iron cutting grade carbide K6 was superior to steel cutting grade K3H, and at high speeds the ceramic was superior.

Wear Tests

This work presents an extension of a previous investigation [1] conducted on gaining an understanding of the critical tribological issues encountered in the machining of compacted graphite iron (CGI) using different cutting tool materials. As part of this study, wear tests were conducted on flat-faced coated and uncoated carbide tools and coated and uncoated cermet tools. The machining tests were conducted under dry condition. Performance assessment of the cutting tools was made using a comparative analysis of the measured cutting forces and post machining scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of used tools. The results reveal the interaction of selected cutting conditions and tool substrate material and coatings on the tribological performance and wear behavior of tools during CGI machining.
