Nanostructured Tungsten Carbide

The paper presents results of investigations on the binderless nanostructured tungsten carbide (WC) cutting tools fabrication and performance. The scientific novelty includes the description of some regularities of the powder consolidation under electric current and the subsequent possibility to utilize them for practical use in the fabrication of cutting tools. The sintering process of WC nanopowder was performed with the electroconsolidation method, which is a modification of spark plasma sintering (SPS). Its advantages include low temperatures and short sintering time which allows retaining nanosize grains of ca. 70 nm, close to the original particle size of the starting powder. In respect to the application of the cutting tools, pure WC nanostructure resulted in a smaller cutting edge radius providing a higher quality of TiC/Fe machined surface. In the range of cutting speeds, vc = 15–40 m/min the durability of the inserts was 75% of that achieved by cubic boron nitride ones, and more than two times better than that of WC-Co cutting tools. In additional tests of machining 13CrMo4 material at an elevated cutting speed of vc = 100 m/min, binderless nWC inserts worked almost three times longer than WC-Co composites.

Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitride

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.

In order to increase the accurate finishing productivity of pearlitic cast iron, face milling by CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) cutting tools was studied. The main focus of the study is the machinability investigation of pearlitic cast iron with CBN cutting tools by studying the relationships among machining conditions such as feed rate, cutting speed as well as CBN cutting tool type, tool wear, workpiece surface quality, cutting forces, and cutting temperature. In addition, an emphasis is put on the effect of Al additive in pearlitic cast iron on its machinability and tool wear characteristics. High-speed milling experiments with CBN cutting tools were conducted on a vertical machining center under different machining conditions. The results obtained provide a useful understanding of milling performance by CBN cutting tools.

Work-hardening of machined surface plays an important role in the evaluation of surface quality and performance of wear resistance in the process of machining components. In this study work-hardening of machined surface during milling 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy is investigated using micro-hardness experiments under different cutting conditions. Moreover, the wear resistance of machined surface including wear quantity and friction coefficient are obtained and studied by means of high speed ring-block friction-wear tester. The work-hardening and wear resistance are particularly sensitive to cutting speed. Friction coefficient has marked drop trends and the tendency of wear quantity is ascend in first and descend at last as work-hardening increases. The comparison of wear resistance under different cutting conditions shows that the wear resistance of machined surface can be directly affected by work-hardening and machined surface obtained by high speed milling with higher micro-hardness have more superior in wear resistance performance.

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.

SiAlON-cubic boron nitride (cBN) composite was prepared by spark plasma sintering (SPS) using -SiAlON and cBN powders as starting materials, and the effect of holding time on densification, phase transformation and hardness of the composite was investigated. The SiAlON-cBN composite containing 20 vol% cBN sintered at 1650oC for 60s was densified to >97% of theoretical density. cBN phase transformed to hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) in the SiAlON-cBN composite with increasing holding time at 1650oC. Vickers hardness of the SiAlON-20vol%cBN composite sintered at 1650oC for 60-300s was 17.7GPa, and the hardness decreased with increasing holding time.

Finishing methods of machining of superhard composite’s working elements based on cubic boron nitride BL group are considered. The results of the microgeometry formation research of the cutting inserts’ surfaces during machining by free powders of synthetic diamond, grinding wheels and a method of vibro-magnetic-abrasive machining (VMAM) are presented. It is shown that during VMAM the friction between the inserts’ surfaces and the abrasive particles result in microremoval of the material, which reduces the roughness of the cutting inserts’ surfaces. It is established that additional fine grinding with 14/10 mkm synthetic diamond powder provides the absence of microgeometry defects of the cutting inserts’ surfaces left by pre-machining. The result of high-quality rounding of cutting edges and the formation of surfaces of cutting inserts with less roughness is an increase in strength and wear resistance of metal-cutting tools in high-speed machining under conditions of significant loads.

Good Productivity

The steel turning AISI 52100 has been gaining prominence in industry in recent years, as it allows machined parts to have better quality without the need for furthers processes. However, to ensure the final product quality, it is important that the turning for machining procedure is well planned and prepared, so that the cutting tools have their wear minimized in the process, while putting good productivity rates and zero occurrences of reworked parts. Thus, this article will study the quality of the machined surface in the turning process using interchangeable PCBN inserts. The aim is to identify the optimal combination of the input parameters that are cutting speed (Vc), feed (f) and machining depth (ap). The response measured is the roughness parameter Ra, under the influence of cutting fluid and tool wear.
