Coating Removal

Laser irradiation de-coating is a promising new approach for effective coating removal of cutting tools. While this method has demonstrated feasibility for conventional coatings, its use and efficacy on lubricant coating is however yet to be ascertained. This paper reports on the results of excimer laser de-coating of hard DLC from DLC-coated tungsten carbide (WC) substrates. A range of fluence and pulse was studied to evaluate the effectiveness of the de-coating process. Result shows that laser parameters of 7 J/cm2 fluence, 400 pulse and 25 Hz frequency were found to yield optimum results in removing hard DLC coating of 3.2 μm thickness from WC substrates. The experimental work indicated successful laser de-coating of hard DLC coating without noticeable damage to the WC substrate. The capability of this new de-coating process is significant in the aerospace industry as it could facilitate re-grinding and recoating of drills thereby improving economics of manufacturing. The process windows could also be applied in the removal of DLC from other cutting tools and applications.

ABSTRACTLow-pressure MOCVD, with tris(2,4-pentanedionato)aluminum(III) as the precursor, was used in the present investigation to coat alumina on to cemented carbide cutting tools. To evaluate the MOCVD process, the efficiency in cutting operations of MOCVD-coated tools was compared with that of tools coated using the industry-standard CVD process.Three multilayer cemented carbide cutting tool inserts, viz., TiN/TiC/WC, CVD-coated Al2O3 on TiN/TiC/WC, and MOCVD-coated Al2O3 on TiN/TiC/WC, were compared in the dry turning of mild steel. Turning tests were conducted for cutting speeds ranging from 14 to 47 m/min, for a depth of cut from 0.25 to 1 mm, at the constant feed rate of 0.2 mm/min. The axial, tangential, and radial forces were measured using a lathe tool dynamometer for different cutting parameters, and the machined work pieces were tested for surface roughness. The results indicate that, in most of the cases examined, the MOCVD-coated inserts produced a smoother surface finish, while requiring lower cutting forces, indicating that MOCVD produces the best-performing insert, followed by the CVD-coated one. The superior performance of MOCVD-alumina is attributed to the co-deposition of carbon with the oxide, due to the very nature of the precursor used, leading to enhanced mechanical properties for cutting applications in harsh environment.

Flank Surface

Tungsten carbide cutting tools with and without solid lubricant (WC-10Co-5CaF2 and WC-10Co) were developed in-house via powder metallurgy. The developed cutting tools and a commercial WC-10Co cutting tool were used to machine cylindrical AISI 1020 steel material under dry conditions. The cutting force and average cutting tool temperature were continuously measured. The cutting tool flank surface and chip morphology after specific tool life (5 min of cutting) were examined to understand tool wear. The flank wear of the considered cutting tools was also measured to quantify the cutting tool life. The surface roughness of the workpiece was measured to determine the machining quality. The developed cutting tool with solid lubricant (WC-10Co-5CaF2) generated 20%–40% less cutting force compared to that of the developed cutting tool without solid lubricant (WC-10Co). In addition, the finish of the workpiece surface improved by 16%–20% when it was machined by the solid lubricant cutting tool. The cutting tool with solid lubricant (WC-10Co-5CaF2) exhibited a 15%–18% reduction in flank wear. Curlier and smaller saw tooth chips were generated from the WC-10Co-5CaF2 cutting tool, confirming that less heat was generated during the cutting process, and the finish of the machined surface was also improved.

Coated Carbide

The Inconel 718 superalloy is one of the most-used nickel based superalloys in the aerospace industry due to its superior mechanical properties, for instance, high thermal and chemical resistance, and high strength at elevated temperatures. However, the work hardening tendency, low thermal conductivity and high hardness of this superalloy cause early tool wear, leading to the material to be called as a hard-to-cut material. Therefore, deposition of a wear resistant hard coating on carbide cutting tools has a critical importance for longer tool life in milling operations of the Inconel 718 superalloy. In this study, carbide cutting tools were coated with multilayer nanocomposite TiAlSiN/TiSiN/TiAlN coating using the magnetron sputtering technique, and wear behavior of the coated tool was investigated during face milling of the Inconel 718 superalloy under dry conditions. Abrasive and adhesive wear mechanisms were founded as main failure mechanisms. The nanocomposite TiAlSiN/TiSiN/TiAlN coated carbide cutting tool gave better wear resistance, and thus it provided 1.7 times longer tool life and a smoother surface (Ra<0.18 μm) on the Inconel 718 material than the uncoated one.

As ELID grinding technology is characterized by simpleness, practicality, low cost and so on, it is wildly used in ultra-precision sharpening, ultra-precision grinding, ultra-precision polishing and some other fields of difficult-to-cut material. ELID grinding technology was applied in the grinding of cutting tool in this paper, and the cutting tools with nano-grained cemented carbide, common cemented carbide, nanoY-TZP ceramics and some other materials were respectively grinded. Then, the surface quality of their anterior and posterior grinding horns and their edge radius were studied and compared with traditional grinding technology of cutting tool. The results show that the surface roughness and edge radius of nano-grained cemented carbide cutting tool are respectively Ra2nm and 0.3μm, the surface roughness and edge radius of common cemented carbide cutting tool are respectively Ra20nm and 1μm and the surface roughness and edge radius of nanoY-TZP ceramic cutting tool are respectively Ra60nm and 0.2μm after grinding by applying ELID grinding technology, which are far better than that from traditional grinding technology; this further proves that the adoption of ELID grinding technology in the grinding of cutting tool is feasible.
