The article presents the results of studying the effects of coated (TiN, TiAlN) and uncoated polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) machining blades on the key geometric structure parameters of the surface of hardened and tempered EN X153CrMoV12 steel after finish turning. A comparative analysis of the use of coated and coated cutting tools in finish turning of hardened steels was made. Tool materials based on polycrystalline cubic boron nitride PCBN (High-CBN; Low-CBN) have been described and characterized. The advantages of using TiN and TiAlN-coated cutting tools compared to uncoated were demonstrated. The lowest influence of the feed on the values of all tested roughness parameters was noted for surfaces treated with TiN- and TiAlN-coated tools (both with 50 vol.% of CBN). For uncoated tools (60 vol.% of CBN) for feeds f = 0.2 and 0.3 mm/rev., the highest values of Ra and Rz roughness parameters were found. Moreover, the lack of protective coating contributed to the occurrence of intense adhesive wear on the flank surface, which was also in the range of the feed values f = 0.2 and 0.3 mm/rev. The analysis of material surface after treatment with the uncoated tools with the feed f = 0.2 mm/rev. showed the occurrence of the phenomenon of lateral material flow and numerous chip deflections.

Ti-6Al-4V components are the most widely used titanium alloy products not only in the aerospace industry, but also for bio-medical applications. The machine-ability of titanium alloys is impaired by their high temperature chemical reactivity, low thermal conductivity and low modulus of elasticity. Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride represents a substitute tool material for turning titanium alloys due to its high hardness, wear resistance, thermal stability and hot red hardness. For determination of suitable cutting parameters in dry turning Ti-6AL-4V alloy by Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride cutting tools, the samples, 300mm in length and 100mm in diameter, were dry machined in a lathe. The turning suitable parameters, such as cutting speed, feed rate and cut depth were determined according to workpieces surface roughness and tools flank wear based on orthogonal experimental design. The experiment showed that the cutting speed in the range of 160~180 m/min, the feed rate is 0.15 mm/rev and the depth of cut is 0.20mm, ideal workpiece surface roughness and little cutting tools flank wear can be obtained.

Micro-textured cutting tools were widely reported due to the improved cutting performance, for example, the reduction of cutting forces. However, the cutting performance is significantly dependent on the parameters of the micro-textures. In this work, some polycrystalline cubic boron nitride tools with designed circular micro-textures were designed and manufactured by laser processing technology, and used to machine powder metallurgy materials. The effect of micro-texture parameters (diameter, depth and density) on the cutting forces ( FX, FY, FZ and Fr) was studied by an orthogonal test, the effect of cutting velocity on the cutting force was also studied. The results have shown that the pit diameter and depth have more significant effect on the cutting forces than the cutting velocity and pit density. As compared with the non-textured tools, the textured tools can effectively reduce the cutting forces and the optimal cutting forces were achieved at parameters as 230 μm for diameter, 90 μm for depth, 20% for density and 110 m/min for cutting velocity. The present findings are of significance for the design of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride cutting tools and the processing of powder metallurgy materials.

Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) cutting tools have enabled large-scale industrial hard machining owing to their high hot hardness and wear resistance. Experience clearly shows that tool requirements vary depending on the presence and severity of interrupts in the workpiece. The interrelationships between workpiece interruption parameters and tool wear and performance are assessed using a programme of continuous, semi-interrupted, and interrupted hard machining tests. A hypothesis for observed variations in wear behaviour between different PCBN grades and test conditions is developed on the basis of detailed tool wear scar analyses.
