The hobbing finish of hard gear teeth such as case-hardened gears is anticipated for practical use in high efficiency production. We studied wear and finished surface properties in cutting tests using a cubic boron nitride (cBN) hob cutter in high-speed cutting at 900 m/min of case-hardened steel. The cBN content in tip ingredients is related to wear, and tips high in cBN content are superior in wear resistance. The high thermal conductivity of cBN tips helps transfer cutting temperature heat to chips, melting and adhering them to the relief surface. Flaking may occur on the cutting edge but new chipping does not occur although chipping may exist after grinding. Finished surface roughness is influenced by horning on the cutting edge. Round horning leads to a smooth surface. High-speed finishing with cBN-tipped hobs is analyzed in view of cBN tip grinding and finished surface properties, in addition to wear properties.

For the excellent properties, super-hard tool material has received much attention from researchers. The development of super-hard tool material for high-speed cutting could brought high machining quality and surface precision. For an engineer, adopt high performance of tool material, for example wearing resistance, high stability of PCD (polycrystalline diamond) and PCBN (poly cubic boron nitride) can get more information for obtaining higher finished surface quality that cannot acquire just by common cutting process.

As the main method of high efficiency machining Ni-based superalloy, high-speed cutting can not but intensify the cutting-tool wear. So, it is very necessary to find the rule of cutting-tool wear in high-speed cutting superalloy, especially, the effect of cutting-tool wear on the cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness of machined workpiece. In this paper, the PCDTiAlN cemented carbide insert is used in the experiment, the value of cutting-tool wear and the corresponding cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness of machined workpiece is measured. It indicates that the cutting force, cutting temperature and surface roughness of machined workpiece is changed corresponding the cutting-tool wear changes, and cutting-tool is serious, for example, the crater wear expands quickly; the boundary wear is obvious.

For the high speed cutting process of hardened 45 steel (45HRC), a finite element simulation of cutting deformation, cutting force and cutting temperature is finished with the large general finite element software ABAQUS. Through the building of geometry model, material model and heat conduction model, also the determination of boundary conditions, separation rule and friction condition, a thermal mechanical coupling finite element model of high speed cutting for hardened 45 steel is built. The serrated chip, cutting force and cutting temperature can be predicted. The comparison of experiment and simulation shows the validity of the model. The influence of cutting parameters on cutting process is investigated by the simulation under different cutting depthes and rake angles. The results show that as the increase of rake angle, the segment degree, cutting force and cutting temperature decrease. But the segment degree, also the cutting force and cutting temperature increase with the increase of cutting depth. This study is useful for the selection of cutting parameters of hardened steel.

In recent times, numerical simulation techniques have been commonly used to estimate and predict machining parameters such as cutting forces, stresses, and temperature distribution. However, it is very difficult to estimate the flow stress of a workpiece and the friction characteristics at a tool/chip interface, particularly during a high-speed cutting process. The objective of this study is to improve the accuracy of the present method and simultaneously determine the characteristics of the flow stress of a workpiece and friction at the cutting edge under a high strain rate and temperature during the cutting process. In this study, the Johnson-Cook (JC) flow stress model is used as a function of strain, strain rate, and temperature. The friction characteristic was estimated by minimizing the difference between the predicted and measured results of principal force, thrust force, and shear angle. The shear friction equation was used to estimate the friction characteristics. Therefore, by comparing the measured values of the cutting forces with the predicted results from FEM simulations, an expression for workpiece flow stress and friction characteristics at the cutting edge during a high-speed cutting process was estimated.

An experimental system used for temperature measurement is designed by the K-type thermocouple thermometry to achieve a direct measurement of cutting temperature in high speed orthogonal turning. The general regularity of temperature distribution is concluded, and the corresponding influences of cutting speed and cutting depth on the maximum temperature value are discussed in detail. Experimental data and simulating results are comparative analyzed to demonstrate the feasibility and correctness of Finite Element Method (FEM) model simulation and analytical solution. The verified model of temperature field can be applied to develop an effective non-contact soft-sensing method for high speed cutting temperature.
