The main purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of tool geometry (cutting edge angle, rake angle, and inclination angle) and to optimize tool wear and surface roughness in hard turning of AISI 1055 (52HRC) hardened steel by using TiN coated mixed ceramic inserts. The results show that the inclination angle is the major factor affecting the tool wear and the surface roughness in hard turning. With the increase in negative rake and inclination angles, the tool wear decreases, and the surface roughness increases. However, the surface roughness will decrease when the inclination angle increases to overpass a certain limit. This is a new and significant point in the research of the hard turning process. From this result, the large negative inclination angle (λ = −10°) should be applied to reduce the surface roughness and the tool wear simultaneously. With the optimal cutting tool angles in the research, the hard machining process is improved remarkably with decreases of surface roughness and tool wear 8.3% and 41.3%, respectively in comparison with the standard tool angles. And the proposed tool-post design approach brings an effective method to change the tool insert angles using standard tool-holders to improve hard or other difficult-to-cut materials turning quality.

Abstract Hard turning has been applied in machining since the early 1980s. There is an effort to substitute finish grinding by hard machining, because of machining by cutting tool with defined geometry. For machining of hardened steels (up to 45 HRC) are used two different cutting materials. PCBN are used the most for discontinuous machining of hardened steel (up to 63 HRC) and mixed ceramic tools, which are used in the experiment. This paper reports a development of surface roughness parameters when using wiper tool geometry of mixed ceramic tool and conventional geometry of mixed ceramic tool in hard turning. Roughness parameters (Ra, Rz, Rsk, Rku, RSm, Rdq) are measured when changing the feed, depth of cut and cutting speed are constant.

Hard turning is a dominant machining operation performed on hardened materials using single-point cutting tools. In recent years, hard turning operation has become more and more capable with respect to various machinability criteria. This work deals with machinability of hardened DF-3 tool steel with 55 ±1 HRC hardness at various cutting conditions in terms of tool life, tool wear mechanism and surface roughness. Continuous dry turning tests were carried out using coated, mixed ceramic insert with honed edge geometry. Two different cutting speeds, 100 and 210 m/min, and feed rate values of 0.05, 0.125 and 0.2 mm/rev were used with a 0.2 mm constant depth of cut for all tests. Additionally scanning electron microscope (SEM) was employed to clarify the different types of wear. As far as tool life was concerned, best result was achieved at lowest cutting condition whereas surface roughness values decreased when operating at higher cutting speed and lower feed rate. Additionally maximum volume of material removed is obtained at low cutting speed and high feed rate. Dominant wear mechanism observed during the experiments were flank and crater wear which is mainly caused by abrasive action of the hard workpiece material with the ceramic cutting tools.

This paper presents the additional work of the previous research in order to verify the previously obtained cutting condition by using the different cutting tool geometries. The effects of the cutting conditions with the dry cutting are monitored to obtain the proper cutting condition for the plain carbon steel with the coated carbide tool based on the consideration of the surface roughness and the tool life. The dynamometer is employed and installed on the turret of CNC turning machine to measure the in-process cutting forces. The in-process cutting forces are used to analyze the cutting temperature, the tool wear and the surface roughness. The experimentally obtained results show that the surface roughness and the tool wear can be well explained by the in-process cutting forces. Referring to the criteria, the experimentally obtained proper cutting condition is the same with the previous research except the rake angle and the tool nose radius.

Hard turning provides an alternative to grinding in some finishing operations. This paper deals with analysis of part surface finishing when turning hardened steel heat-treated on hardness of 46, 55 and 60 HRC with mixed oxide ceramic inserts. Average surface roughness Ra has been widely used in industry it is known that the single parameter Ra is inadequate to define the functionality of a surface. Two different surfaces with similar values of Ra can behave differently under loading conditions. The surface profile 2D and 3D parameters are assessed. The influence of workpiece hardness on surface roughness parameters and cutting force components is investigated. Results show that finish hard turning with mixed ceramic tool produces surface profile comparable to those produced by grinding.

Machining of advancedaerospace materials have grown in the recent years although the hard-to-machinecharacteristics of alloys like titanium or nickel based alloys cause highercutting forces, rapid tool wear, and more heat generation. This paper presentsan experimental evaluation of machining ofInconel718alloy under dry conditions at varying of cutting speeds and feed rates.The influence of the cutting conditions on surface integrity was studied interms of surface roughness, affected layer, grain size variations and phasechanges/modification. Also, the machining process performance was evaluatedthrough the power consumption and tool-wear.
