A new concept is introduced to model the main effect of tool wear on system dynamics during stable cutting. Audible sound generated from the cutting process is analyzed as a source for monitoring tool wear during turning, assuming adhesive wear as the predominant wear mechanism. The analysis incorporates the dynamics of the cutting process. In modeling the interaction on the flank surface, the asperities on the surfaces are represented as a trapezoidal series function with normal distribution. The effect of changing asperity height, size, spacing, and the stiffness of the asperity interaction is investigated and compared with experimental data.

Abstract Ramp-up is a major step in the implementation of manufacturing systems, and is even more critical in reconfigurable manufacturing systems. For a successful reduction in ramp-up time, it is essential to analyze and monitor both the overall manufacturing system and the individual machine tools/processes that comprise the system. Towards this end, we have addressed the issue of monitoring tool wear using audible sound to enable faulty conditions associated with wear to be identified during the process before the part quality gets out of specification. Audible sound generated from the cutting process is analyzed as a source for monitoring tool wear during turning, assuming adhesive wear as the predominant wear mechanism. The analysis incorporates the dynamics of the cutting process. In modeling the interaction on the flank surface, the asperities on the surfaces are represented as a trapezoidal series function with normal distribution. The effect of changing asperity height, size, spacing, and the stiffness of the asperity interaction is investigated and compared with experimental data.

Sufficient Strength

Cutting tools of sufficient strength against failure by brittle fracture or loss of “form stability” through rise of interface temperatures, still continue to fail by a process of “wear,” which is loss of cutting tool material through gradual interaction between the work and the tool material. Such wear can take place either at the principal flank surface or at the top face of the cutting tool for roughing and semiroughing cuts. Wear may also occur at the auxiliary flank surface resulting in grooving wear during fine machining or machining of high strength materials. The causes for such wear processes include (i) mechanical interaction (abrasion or adhesion and transfer type), (ii) thermochemical interaction (diffusion or chemical reaction). As a part of this investigation on tool wear, two theoretical models have been proposed for explaining mechanical wear at the flank surface. These models explain the nature and characteristics of wear growth and the sensitiveness and dependence of interaction phenomena between the tool-work pair.

This paper presents a study of the effects of tool wear on cutting force and surface roughness. The cutting force was measured using a piezoelectric force meter which was attached to the cutting machine's revolving head. The surface roughness was measured after the cutting process was complete using a mechanical touch method. A range of thermoplastic materials and cutting layouts were used to give a broader understanding of the topic. After the measurements were taken, the data were evaluated statistically and the effects of tool wear are illustrated graphically. Furthermore, to understand all of the types of wear which can occur during thermoplastics turning, worn turning inserts taken from industrial machines were examined under a microscope. The aim of the study was to define a method for monitoring tool wear during the turning process to avoid tool breakage and/or reduce the number of scrapped parts.

Abstract In metal cutting process, modeling and predicting the tool wear development has been researched for decades. Many efforts have been made to study the cutting temperature as an indicator for the tool wear behavior. However, the determination of the cutting temperature in the critical contact area in process is still a challenge. In order to build temperature-dependent tool wear models, the temperature distribution of the workpiece was captured in this paper by an infrared thermography in orthogonal cutting of Direct Aged Inconel 718 with cemented carbide cutting tool WC-15Co. Instead of studying the temperature in critical cutting zone directly, the workpiece temperature distribution around the flank wear surface was determined inversely with the analytical Jaeger-solution based on the experimental data. The determined maximum cutting temperature on the flank wear surface has been successfully verified by FEM chip formation simulations. By means of this inverse approach, the cutting temperature on the flank surface can be determined as a function of tool wear VB. The experimental results showed that the cutting temperature increased with the increase of the tool wear VB. By means of this method, the temperature on the flank wear surface can be used as an important physical indicator to model and predict the tool wear development in future work.

Acoustic emission (AE) provides a non-intrusive means of monitoring insert flank wear in face milling. Progressive wear tests of carbide inserts in eight-point milling of annealed En24 steel were instrumented with piezoelectric AE transducers and a non-contact optical interferometer, from which AE frequency information could be extracted. Mean AE frequency was found generally to decrease with wear in agreement with other published studies. Tool indexed measurements enabled the time evolution of the frequency content to be studied on the timescale of a single pass of the insert. The results may be explained by a simple analytical model for AE frequency associated with plastic deformation. The observed AE decay time constants following insert entry decreased with cutting speed, consistent with thermal models of the cutting process. Whereas the results of this study alone would not constitute an independent means of tool wear monitoring, they could provide a diagnosis of tool wear when supplemented with other AE measures and with knowledge of the specific cutting process.

Cutting Speeds

Cutting tool wear of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) tools was investigated in oblique turning experiments when machining compacted graphite iron at high cutting speeds, with the intention of elucidating the failure mechanisms of the cutting tools and presenting an analysis of the chip formation process. Dry finish turning experiments were conducted in a CNC lathe at cutting speeds in the range of 500–800m/min, at a feed rate of 0.05mm/rev and depth of cut of 0.2mm. Two different tool end-of-life criteria were used: a maximum flank wear scar size of 0.3mm (flank wear failure criterion) or loss of cutting edge due to rapid crater wear to a point where the cutting tool cannot machine with an acceptable surface finish (surface finish criterion). At high cutting speeds, the cutting tools failed prior to reaching the flank wear failure criterion due to rapid crater wear on the rake face of the cutting tools. Chip analysis, using SEM, revealed shear localized chips, with adiabatic shear bands produced in the primary and secondary shear zones.

Multi-axis controlled machining has been increasing with the demand for high quality in mold manufacturing. The cutter axis inclination should be properly determined in the milling operations. The paper discusses the cutting process of ball end mill with the cutter axis inclination. Two mechanistic models are presented to show the effect of the cutter axis inclination on the tool wear and the surface finish. The actual cutting time during a rotation of the cutter reduces with increasing the cutter axis inclination. Then, the tool is cooled in the non-cutting time. The tool wear is suppressed with reducing the cutting temperature. The surface finish is also improved by increasing cutting velocities with the cutter axis inclination. When the cutter is inclined in the feed direction, the effect of the edge roughness on the surface finish is eliminated. The discussion based on the simulation is verified in the cutting tests for brittle materials.

Fiber Reinforced Plastics

Carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) are typical difficult-to-machine materials, which is easy to produce many defects such as burrs, dilacerations, layering in milling process. And selecting the appropriate cutting tool has become the key to machining CFRP with high quality and efficiency. In the paper, the machining principle of milling CFRP with new type end mill was analyzed. The diamond coating of general right-hand end mill, cross-flute router and fine-cross-nick router were used to cutting CFRP under the same cutting condition. Through the comparative analysis of the workpiece’s surface quality and tool wear, it concluded that: compared with right-hand diamond coated end mill, cross-flute diamond coated router or fine-cross-nick diamond coated router could effectively suppress the appearance of burrs and dilacerations; abnormal coating peeling appeared in the flank face of right-hand diamond coated end mill, forming the boundary wear, which accelerated wear failure; the flank wear of diamond coated cross-flute router and fine-cross-nick router were both abrasive wear. Due to having more cutting edge than cross-flute router in cutting process, the flank wear of fine-cross-nick router was slower, and the tool life was longer. So it was more suitable for cutting CFRP.
