Tool-chip friction increases cutting temperature, aggravates tool wear, and shortens the service life of cutting tools. A micro-groove design of the rake face can improve the wear performance of the tool. In this study, we used the finite element simulation “Deform” to obtain the temperature field distribution of the tool rake face. The size of the micro-groove was determined by selecting a suitable temperature field combined with the characteristics of tool–chip flow in the cutting process, and the tool was prepared using powder metallurgy. The three-direction cutting forces and tool tip temperature were obtained by a cutting test. Compared with the original turning tool, the cutting force and cutting temperature of the micro-groove tool were reduced by more than 20%, the friction coefficient was reduced by more than 14%, the sliding energy was reduced and the shear energy was greatly decreased. According to the analysis of tool wear by SEM (scanning electron microscope) and EDS (energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy), the crater wear, adhesive wear and oxidation wear of the micro-groove tool were lower than those of the original turning tool. In particular, the change in the crater wear area on the rake face of the original tool and the micro-groove tool was consistent with the cutting temperature and the wear width of the flank face. On the whole, the crater wear area and the change rate of the crater wear area of the micro-groove tool were smaller. Due to the proper microgroove structure of the rake face, the tool-chip contact area decreased, and the second rake angle of the tool became larger. Hence, the tool-chip friction, cutting forces, cutting energy consumption were reduced, tool wear was improved, and the service life of the micro-groove tool was five times longer than that of the original tool.

Abstract In this study, the performance of Ø 8 mm WC-Co (10%) drill bits with a TiAlN coating was tested for machining of Ti6Al4V alloy with a Widmanstatten structure. In order to improve the tool life, cutting tools were subjected to deep cryogenic treatment. In total, three groups of tools were prepared for this study. The first group was used for reference as the supplied state; the second group was subjected to 24 hours deep cryogenic treatment at -196 ° C, and the third group was subjected to 24 hours deep cryogenic at -196 ° C, additionally was tempered 2 hours at 200 ° C. Machining experiments were done by drilling and a set of 60 holes were drilled with each drill bit, and tool wear were observed and recorded with a stereo microscope. Additionally, Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) analyses were carried on to understand the tool wear better. The microhardness of Cryo-treated and tempered cutting tools hardness increased up to 20 Hv (about 1%), and the toughness value did not change significantly. Cutting performance was observed by measuring the cutting forces during drilling experiments. According to these results, deep cryogenic treatment on WC-Co-based inserts decreased cutting forces by approximately 7% compared to the reference drill bit, which affected the cutting tool life. The dominant wear mechanism was Built-up edge (BUE) formation, and cryo-treatment lowered the BUE amount 8% and cryo-treated and tempered drill bit 45% compared to the reference drill bit.

Application of conventional cutting fluids often cannot control the high cutting temperatures, especially in high production machining. In addition, they are a major source of pollution in machining industries. Cryogenic cooling is a potential environmentally friendly clean technology for desirable control of the cutting temperature. The present work deals with experimental investigations on the role of cryogenic cooling by liquid nitrogen jets on chip formation and cutting forces in turning AISI 1040 steel and AISI 4320 steel at industrial speed—feed combinations by two types of carbide inserts of different geometrical configurations. The experimental results indicate the possibility of a substantial reduction in cutting forces by cryogenic cooling, which enabled a reduction in cutting forces by favourable chip formation, chip—tool interaction and also retention of tool sharpness due to reduced cutting temperature. Thus cryogenic cooling, if properly employed, is not only environmentally friendly but can also improve machinability characteristics.

Cutting tools suffer severe abrasive friction and wear in high speed milling of graphite. Cutting forces were measured and analyzed using time-frequency analysis method to reveal the correlation between cutting force variations and tool wear evolution. The static and dynamic force components increased prominently with tool wear. The cutting force Fy was found the most sensitive to the tool wear evolution. The waveform of cutting force became periodic and irregular with the increase of tool wear. Good correlation was found between the first force harmonic and tool wear.

The international safety regulations are pushing the manufacturers of water systems and equipment to remove lead from material compositions due to the potential human hazard of lead absorption. The usage of green lead-free brass alloys is becoming mandatory in many important markets, demanding the manufacturers to quickly adapt their production techniques both casting and machining to this new reality. Regarding machining, lead has been used to facilitate the chip control, working as a natural chip breaker and reducing the tool wear. Therefore, the reduction of lead composition in brass alloys contributes to a machinability decrease of the materials leading to higher cutting forces, long chips and higher tool wear. This work focuses on the machinability characterization of three different brass alloys (leaded, medium-leaded and minimally leaded) by means of cylindrical external turning process with polycrystalline diamond inserts. A parametric study covering three different depths of cuts, three feed rates and four cutting speeds was conducted for three brass alloys with two repetitions. Cutting forces, chip morphology and surface roughness were analysed and compared between alloys. Complementary microstructural and mechanical characterization of the alloys were performed. Analysis of variance was performed to analyse the results. Cutting forces, power consumption, specific cutting pressure, roughness and chip morphology identification were used as comparison criteria among the tested materials. Results have demonstrated the decrease of machinability with the lead reduction, with higher cutting forces and longer chips. Polycrystalline diamond tools used in this work could be a good option to overcome the machinability challenges of the lead-free brass alloys.

High Pressure Coolant

Hard turning of harder material differs from conventional turning because of its larger specific cutting forces requirements. The beneficial effects of hard turning can be offset by excessive temperature generation which causes rapid tool wear or premature tool failure if the brittle cutting tools required for hard turning are not used properly. Under these considerations, the concept of high-pressure coolant (HPC) presents itself as a possible solution for high speed machining in achieving slow tool wear while maintaining cutting forces at reasonable levels, if the high pressure cooling parameters can be strategically tuned. This paper deals with an experimental investigation of some aspects of the turning process applied on hardened steel (HRC48) using coated carbide tool under high-pressure coolant, comparing it with dry cut. The results indicate that the use of high-pressure coolant leads to reduced surface roughness, delayed tool flank wear, and lower cutting temperature, while also having a minimal effect on the cutting forces.

Physics-based process simulations have the potential to allow virtual process design and the development of digital twins for smart machining applications. This paper presents 3D cutting simulations using the finite element method (FEM) and investigates the physical state variables that are fundamental to the reduction in cutting forces, friction, and tool wear when micro-textured cutting tools are employed. For this goal, textured cemented carbide cutting tool inserts are designed, fabricated, and tested in the orthogonal dry cutting of a nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy steel. Cutting forces and friction coefficients are compared against the non-textured tool, revealing the effects of texture parameters. Chip flow over the textured tool surface and process variables at the chip-tool contact are investigated and compared. The results reveal the fundamental sources of such improvements. Archard’s wear rate as a composition of process variables is utilized to compare experimental and simulated wear on the textured cutting tools. The effects of texture and cutting conditions on tool wear and adhesion characteristics are further discussed on the simulation results with experimental comparisons. It was found that the results obtained from these simulations provide further fundamental insights about the micro-textured cutting tools.
