Improving the performance of metal-cutting tools, i.e. their wear resistance in a wide range of technological cutting modes, when processing various hard-to-process steels and alloys is an urgent task of modern machine-building production. The efficiency of blade processing at the present stage of development of mechanical engineering depends to a large extent on the performance of the cutting tool, which is primarily determined by the combination of physical and mechanical properties of the tool material-hardness, strength wear resistance, etc. however, obtaining the optimal combination of these properties in the volume of the cutting tool material presents significant difficulties. When solving the complex task of improving the quality and reliability of the cutting tool, it is of great importance to widely use various types of coatings on its cutting surface, which allow saving scarce materials and prolonging its service life, significantlyincreasing the performance of the tool. Improving the performance of tools is one of the main ways to improve the resource reliability of their operation. The main and most important performance indicators of tools are largely determined by the quality of their surface layers. Therefore, the formation of a high-quality surface layer on the surface of the cutting part of the tool and increasing wear resistance is the most effective means of improving its performance. This article discusses the main methods for improving the wear resistance of carbide cutting tools currently used, their evaluation and efficiency of use. The method of ionvacuum modification is proposed as the main method for improving the efficiency of the cutting tool.

The author considers methods of forecasting metal-cutting tool life based on characteristics of cutting tool material. These characteristics depend on differences in numerical values of physical and chemical properties of tool material due to changes in its composition, structure, and production process variables. The described methods allow obtaining the information necessary for forecasting the tool life beyond the process of cutting, for example at the stage of cutting tool manufacturing. The author suggests using the method of registration of thermo-physical properties of the tool material as a promising forecasting technique.

This paper has proposed improving the methods of circular and screw conversion, to be used in the design of cutting tools and toothing that include complex mated surfaces. Underlying the improvement of both methods is the construction of a mathematical base and the development of a computer subprogram, based on it, in the MATLAB system. During the research, the original screw-type curved surface and the curvilinear generatrix axis were formed on the basis of improved methods, taking into consideration the exclusion of interference at the design stage. A comprehensive solution to this problem is important for the manufacture of products by rolling. Given this, the original instrumental surface of the cutting tool takes into consideration the pairing condition between the article’s and tool’s points. The result, when designing gears and cutting tools using the proposed improved methods, assigns the curvilinear surface parametrically, represented by two-dimensional arrays characterizing its coordinates. To avoid interference at the design stage, it is necessary to analyze the intersection of the axis of the curvilinear generatrix with horizontal planes. That would make it possible, when machining an article, to avoid cutting, jamming, as well as the dangerous concentration of stresses. The accuracy and reliability of a wide range of articles in machines and machinery and other kinematic pairs also improve. The proposed improvement of circular and screw conversion methods to simulate curvilinear mated surfaces that exclude interference at the design stage is of practical interest in machine building

In this paper, the development and mechanical, physical properties on cermet cutting tool material are described. By using the cermet insert NT7 developed in recent years and WC based carbide insert YT14, the tool wear, impact and cutting force tests to high strength steel 38CrNi3MoVA (hardened and tempered, HRC36~40) are processed respectively. The results of these tests demonstrate that NT7 cutting tools have better performance on some characteristics, such as wear resistance, tool life and cutting force. And its ability of impact resistance is similar to YT14. These researches will benefit to the poplarizaion and application of cermet cutting tool.

The article includes research results for the functional properties achieved for a wide range of sintered tool materials, including sintered carbides, cermets and three types of Al2O3 oxide tool ceramics ((Al2O3 + ZrO2, Al2O3 + TiC and Al2O3 + SiC(w)) with (Ti,Al)N coating deposited in the cathodic arc evaporation (CAE-PVD) method and comparison with uncoated tool materials. For all coated samples, a uniform wear pattern on tool shank was observed during metallographic analysis. Based on the scanning electron microscope (SEM) metallographic analysis, it was found that the most common types of tribological defects identified in tested materials are: mechanical defects and abrasive wear of the tool side, crater formation on the tool face, cracks on the tool side, chipping on the cutting edge and built-up edge from chip fragments. Deposition of (Ti,Al)N coating on all tested substrates increases the wear resistance and also limits the exceeding of critical levels of permanent stresses. It even increases the tool life many times over. Such a significant increase in tool life results, among other things, from a large increase in microhardness of PVD coated materials compared to uncoated samples, increased resistance to thermal and chemical abrasion, improved chip formation and removal process conditions. Use of hard coatings applied to sintered tool materials is considered to be one of the most important achievements in improving the functional properties of cutting tools and can still be developed by improving the coating structure solutions (sorted and nanocrystalline structures) and extending the range of coating applications (Ti,Al)N in a variety of substrates.

Modern trends in metal cutting, high speed/feed machining, dry cutting and hard cutting set more demanding characteristics for cutting tool materials. The exposed parts of the cutting edges must be protected against the severe loading conditions and wear. The most significant coatings methods for cutting tools are PVD and CVD/MTCVD today. The choice of the right substrate or the right protective coating in the specific machining operation can have serious impact on machining productivity and economy. In many cases the deposition of the cutting tool with a hard coating increases considerably its cutting performance and tool life. The coating protects the tool against abrasion, adhesion, diffusion, formation of comb cracks and other wear phenomena.

Providing an increase in the working capacity of a metal-cutting tool, it is possible to significantly increase the productivity of mechanized labor, thereby reducing the cost of purchasing a new tool and saving on other accompanying technological components. During the operation of the cutting tool, the main load is transferred to its working part, this, as a rule, leads to partial wear or complete destruction of the planes and cutting edges. There are a number of technologies for processing working surfaces, which provides them with additional strengthening, the most effective of which is the method of applying special coatings to the surface of the cutting tool. Taking into account the specifics of the processes of formation of coatings, they can be divided into three main groups [1]. The first group includes methods in which the formation of coatings is carried out mainly due to diffusion reactions between saturating elements and structures of the instrumental material. The second group includes methods of forming coatings by a complex mechanism. The third group includes methods of forming coatings due to chemical and plasma-chemical reactions of particle flux simultaneously in volumes of space immediately adjacent to the saturable surfaces of the instrumental base. One such technology is the CIB (condensation and ion bombardment) method, which is a physical deposition of coatings. The most characteristic feature of coatings produced by this method is the absence of a transition zone between the coating and the tool material. This makes it possible to obtain a complex of properties on the working surfaces of the tool without deteriorating its original properties. The article is devoted to the issues of increasing the efficiency of ion-plasma technologies through the development and implementation of an automated system for analyzing and controlling the mass balance of reagent gases under conditions of several gases supply. Thus, the improvement of the technology of coating the working surfaces of the cutting tool, namely, the effective control of the process of applying ion-plasma coatings with the introduction of an automated system for analyzing and controlling the mass balance of reagent gases under conditions of supplying several gases is an urgent task.

Metal-cutting process deals with the removal of material using the shearing operation with the help of hard cutting tools. Machining operations are famous in the manufacturing sector due to their capability to manufacture tight tolerances and high dimensional accuracy while simultaneously maintaining the cost-effectiveness for higher production levels. As metal-cutting processes consume a great amount of input resources and generate some material-based waste streams, these processes are highly criticized due to their high and negative environmental impacts. Researchers in the metal-cutting sector are currently exploring and benchmarking different activities and best practices to make the cutting operation environment friendly in nature. These eco-friendly practices mainly cover the wide range of activities directly or indirectly associated with the metal-cutting operation. Most of the literature for sustainable metal-cutting activities revolves around the sustainable lubrication techniques to minimize the negative influence of cutting fluids on the environment. However, there is a need to enlarge the assessment domain for the metal-cutting process and other directly and indirectly associated practices such as enhancing sustainability through innovative methods for workpiece and cutting tool materials, and approaches to optimize energy consumption should also be explored. The aim of this article is to explore the role of energy consumption and the influence of workpiece and tool materials towards the sustainability of machining process. The article concludes that sustainability of the machining process can be improved by incorporating different innovative approaches related to the energy and tool–workpiece material consumptions.

Nowadays Russian manufacturers of metal-cutting tools for machine-building industry do not offer structures of prefabricated cutting hobs with retrofittable carbide blades for processing of tooth wheels, though usage of retrofittable carbide blades allows to increase significantly working capacity and productivity of the processing. As of today creation of an assembly cutting tool for processing of tooth wheels with the retrofittable carbide blades is a big step forward for machine-building industry. A high quality tool allows warranting for a new equipment and making work of operators more productive. This paper offers a new technical solution providing increase of efficiency of processing by assembly tools with the retrofittable carbide blades made of a hard alloy. Due to usage of progressive cutting patterns division of a margin for straight-line segments and curved sections is performed. This division has a positive impact on cutting hard-alloy inserts and also reduces their wear and tear.
