Titanium alloys are labeled as difficult to materials because of their low machinability rating. This paper presents an experimental study of machining Ti-6Al-4V under turning operation. All machining tests were conducted under dry, mist and flood cooling approaches by using a TiAlN coated carbide cutting inserts. All cutting experiments were conducted using high and low levels of cutting speeds and feed rates. The study compared surface finish of machined surface and flank wear at cutting edge under dry, mist and flood cooling approaches. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to investigate the flank wear at cutting edge under various cooling approaches and cutting conditions. Investigation revealed that TiAlN coated carbides performed comparatively better at higher cutting speed.

The wear behaviour of powder metallurgy high-speed steel (PM-HSS) milling inserts is investigated experimentally. Cutting inserts with different cutting edge radii tested at various feed rates and cutting speeds were examined. The radii have been obtained either by microsandblasting or by honing. The initiation and progress of the tool wear was analysed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of the cutting edges. The experimental results exhibit quantitatively the effect of tool radius on the performance of milling inserts. A radius on the cutting edge prevents fast and unpredictable wear, and can lead to a great improvement of the tool life.

The impact of the cutting parameters; speed, feed, and depth of cut on the wear and the life of the cutting edge has long been a matter of debate among researchers. The cutting speed has long been agreed to have a prime influence in such a way that increasing speed leads to higher wear rate. Depth of cut has been concluded by majority of studies to have insignificant or negligible impact on edge wear and deformation. Despite its long established influence on the roughness of the machined surface, the effect of cutting feed on edge wear and deformation still requires more explanation. Cutting feed is a crucial parameter governing the product surface finish and dimensional accuracy and, therefore, its attitude during machining should be fully understood. This study presents experimental and modeling approach to detect the feed-wear functional interrelation considering various domains of the cutting speed. Results showed that the impact of the cutting feed is firmly associated with the level of cutting speed employed. Speed-feed interaction proved to be responsible for the performance of the cutting edge during machining.

Authors of the paper present different types of tool wear after machining of weld overlay with AlTiN cutting insert. Welded layer was created on roller made from S355J0 steel by Open Arc (OA) method also referred as Metal One Gas (MOG). Various forms of tool wear were documented by optical microscope. Microchipping of cutting edge, built up edge (BUE) and flank wear were identified on examined round insert in rough turning of hard cladding.

An experimental procedure is used to machine 20 vol.% Al2O3/6061Al metal matrix composites using coated tungsten carbide cutting inserts in a finish turning operation. The turning operations were carried out at various cutting speeds and feed rates, at a constant depth of cut, and with the application of a coolant. Tool wear lengths at two locations, at the flank of the primary cutting edge and at the flank of the nose of the tool were measured for each cutting test after the removal of a predetermined volume of material. It was found that the wear lengths at both locations of the tool increased with a decrease in feed rate due to the increase in cutting time as the feed rate decreased. It was also found that for a given speed and feed rate the wear on the flank of the nose was higher than that of the primary cutting edge. This was attributed possibly to the presence of the built-up edge on the rake face of the tool. Surface roughness, generally, increased with an increase in cutting time that was explained in terms of an increase in nose wear length as the cutting time was increased.

The article deals with a determination of the influence of a cutting edge preparation on the quality and wear resistance of coated cutting tools. Cutting inserts made from a sintered carbide with a deposited layer of PVD coating were selected for measurement. Non-homogeneity caused by the creation of droplets arises in the application layer during the process of applying the coating by the PVD method. These droplets make the surface roughness of the PVD coating worse, increase the friction and thereby the thermal load of the cutting tool as well. Also, the droplets could be the cause of the creation and propagation of droplets in the coating and they can cause quick cutting tool wear during machining. Cutting edge preparations were suggested for the improvement of the surface integrity of deposited layers of PVD coating, namely the technology of drag finishing and abrasive jet machining. After their application, the areal surface roughness was measured on the surface of coated cutting inserts, the occurrence of droplets was tracked and the surface structure was explored. A tool-life test of cutting inserts was carried out for verification of the influence of surface treatment on the wear resistance of cutting inserts during the milling process. The cutting inserts with a layer of PVD coatings termed as samples A, B, and C were used for the tool-life test. The first sample, A, represented the coating before the application of cutting edge preparations and samples B and C were after the application of the cutting edge preparation. A carbon steel termed C45 was used for the milling process and cutting conditions were suggested. The visual control of surface of cutting inserts, intensity of wear and occurrence of thermal cracks in deposited PVD layers were the criterion for the evaluation of the individual tests.

The output of the ultramicrotomy process with its high strain levels is dependent upon the input, ie., the nature of the material being machined. Apart from the geometrical constraints offered by the rake and clearance faces of the tool, each material is free to deform in whatever manner necessary to satisfy its material structure and interatomic constraints. Noncrystalline materials appear to survive the process undamaged when observed in the TEM. As has been demonstrated however microtomed plastics do in fact suffer damage to the top and bottom surfaces of the section regardless of the sharpness of the cutting edge or the tool material. The energy required to seperate the section from the block is not easily propogated through the section because the material is amorphous in nature and has no preferred crystalline planes upon which defects can move large distances to relieve the applied stress. Thus, the cutting stresses are supported elastically in the internal or bulk and plastically in the surfaces. The elastic strain can be recovered while the plastic strain is not reversible and will remain in the section after cutting is complete.
