Geometrical tolerances play a very important role in the functionality and assembly of parts made of light alloys for aeronautical applications. These parts are frequently machined in dry conditions. Under these conditions, the tool wear becomes one of the most important variables that influence geometrical tolerances. In this work, the influence of tool wear on roundness, straightness and cylindricity of dry-turned UNS A97075 alloy has been analyzed. The tool wear and form deviations evolution as a function of the cutting parameters and the cutting time has been assessed. In addition, the predominant tool wear mechanisms have been checked. The experimental results revealed that the indirect adhesion wear (BUL and BUE) was the main tool-wear mechanism, with the feed being the most influential cutting parameter. The combination of high feed and low cutting speed values resulted in the highest tool wear. The analyzed form deviations showed a general trend to increase with both cutting parameters. The tool wear and the form deviations tend to increase with the cutting time only within the intermediate range of feed tested. As the main novelty, a relationship between the cutting parameters, the cutting time (and, indirectly, the tool wear) and the analyzed form deviations has been found.

The machining parameters for turning of PEEK CF30 using TiN coated tools under dry conditions have been optimized by using Non dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II), a non dominated solution set is obtained. The objectives considered are the minimisation of machining force thereby minimising specific cutting pressure as function of the main operating parameters. The results indicated that the minimal cutting parameters are preferred for reducing the machining force, and the minimal cutting speed, medium depth of cut and high feed rate are recommended for minimal specific cutting machining. As per the requirement, the manufacturing engineer should select the proper cutting parameters.

The milling experiments of the annealed T10A steel were carried out in the various cutting conditions using the coated cemented carbide tool. The cutting parameters were designed by the multi-factor orthogonal experiment method, and the effects of cutting speed, feed, axial depth of cut and radial depth of cut on the cutting force and tool wear were investigated. The tool wear mechanisms were also discussed. Adhesion, abrasion, diffusion and oxidation were the main tool wear mechanisms. According to these investigations, the optimizing cutting parameter was recommended.

A model of stress and temperature field is established on nickel-based alloy cutting by finite element modeling and dynamic numerical simulating, and then combining high-speed machining test and orthogonality analysis method, the influence law of cutting parameters on the cutting force and tool wear has been researched, and the tool life and cutting force prediction model based on cutting parameters has been obtained. Finally, by genetic algorithm method cutting parameters are selected reasonably and optimized. The result shows that the bonding wear is main tool wear, and the influence of cutting speed on cutting force is smaller than feed per tooth and axial depth of cut.

Abstract The characteristics such as high hardness and shear modulus, low thermal conductivity, strain hardening of Nickel-based superalloys lead to high machining forces and temperature, poor surface quality and integrity, rapid tool wear, etc. The present article investigates the tool wear mechanism of the tungsten carbide (WC) tool in µ-turning of Nimonic 90 under dry, wet, and vegetable oil-based cutting fluid (VCF). Canola oil is used as vegetable oil. Three different combinations of cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut are considered for analysis. The tool wear is characterized using optical and scanning electron microscopy. Machining with VCF shows an approximate reduction of flank wear width in the range of 12%-52% compared to dry and wet conditions. The main wear mechanisms observed on the tool flank and rake face are abrasion, built-up edge adhesion, and edge chipping. The VCF considerably reduces the adhesion and abrasion and, hence, increases tool life. The chips produced in dry conditions are found fractured and uneven, whereas, it had an uneven lamella structure in wet conditions. The VCF found reducing the plastic deformation in each cutting condition, as a result, producing fine lamella structured chips.

Aluminium bronze alloys are special copper alloys that have a machinability rate from 20 to 40% compared to free cutting brasses, so the cutting parameters and type of tools suitable for machining of these materials may be very different for other copper alloys. Also, due to the relative high costs of the raw material, the absence of contamination of the chips by cutting fluids improve its intrinsic resales value and encourage the use of machining process without coolant. The aim of this work is to evaluate the tool wear mechanisms in the finishing machining of the Cu-10wt%Al-5wt%Ni-5wt%Fe aluminium-bronze alloy with carbide and cermet inserts at different cutting speeds under dry machining condition. The turning of material showed lower surface roughness in higher speed conditions and better dimensional stability at lower speeds. It was observed the formation of continuous chips, but of little volume occupied. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses of tool wear show the adhesion as the main tool wear mechanism, followed by abrasion. At the lower cutting speed, the adhesion wears affected significantly the surface finish, reducing the tool life in comparison to the higher speeds.

Three distinctive regions of tool wear, known as initial wear, steady-state wear, and accelerated wear, are well understood. However, the effects of cutting parameters on the initial tool wear mechanism, morphology, and size have received less attention as compared to the other two regions. Knowing that adequate control of initial tool wear may lead to extended tool life, in particular in hard-to-cut metals such as superalloys, this topic has become a source of attention. Amongst superalloys, Inconel 718 is considered as one of the most difficult to cut materials, which has a wide range of industrial applications. This study intends to evaluate the effects of cutting parameters on initial tool wear, as well as tool wear progression, when turning Inconel 718. Therefore, microstructural evaluation of the initial tool wear mode under various cutting conditions, as well as tool wear measurements, were conducted. It was observed that certain elements of the workpieces were migrated to the insert flank face. This is evidence of adhesion at the initial moments of the cutting process. In contrast to many other easy-to-cut materials, the steady-state wear period when turning Inconel 718 is significantly short under a higher level of cutting speed and feed rate.

FGH95 is one kind of high-strength, thermal-resistant nickel-based superalloys fabricated by powder metallurgy (PM). It plays an increasingly important role in the development and manufacture of turbine discs. Due to the extreme toughness and work hardening characteristics of this kind of superalloy, the problem of machining FGH95 is one of ever-increasing magnitudes. This paper investigates the influence of cutting parameters on the cutting force, cutting temperature and tool wear during the end milling of PM nickel-based superalloy FGH95. The empirical formula for cutting force and cutting temperature of FGH95 are given out. Experimental results show that the cutting speed among milling parameters has the greatest influence on cutting forces and cutting temperatures. It is shown that the major tool wear mechanisms are combination interactions of abrasive wear, adhesion wear, micro-breakout and chipping.

In this work, an analysis of the cutting speed and feed influence on surface roughness and microhardness of UNS A97075-T6 alloy, turned under dry conditions, was carried out. The results were compared before and after a corrosion process. The influence of these cutting parameters on each of these variables was analyzed, as well as the possible interrelation between them. The microgeometrical deviations showed a general trend to increase with feed. However, no significant modifications were observed as a function of the cutting speed. This trend was softer after the corrosion process, due to the surface alterations produced by pitting corrosion, which resulted in higher dispersion of the experimental data. In addition, a surface microhardness increment was observed in all samples, after machining and before corrosion, regardless of the cutting parameter values. The experimental results revealed that the mechanical effects, produced by the feed, should not be neglected against the thermal effects, produced by the cutting speed, within the range of the tested cutting speed. Finally, the corrosion process negatively affected the microhardness, but it was not possible to establish a direct relationship between the cutting parameters, surface roughness, and microhardness after a corrosion process.

The TiC particles in titanium metal matrix composites (TiMMCs) make them difficult to machine. As a specific MMC, it is legitimate to wonder if the cutting mechanisms of TiMMCs are the same as or similar to those of MMCs. For this purpose, the tool wear mechanisms for turning, milling, and grinding are reviewed in this paper and compared with those for other MMCs. In addition, the chip formation and morphology, the material removal mechanism and surface quality are discussed for the different machining processes and examined thoroughly. Comparisons of the machining mechanisms between the TiMMCs and MMCs indicate that the findings for other MMCs should not be taken for granted for TiMMCs for the machining processes reviewed. The increase in cutting speed leads to a decrease in roughness value during grinding and an increase of the tool life during turning. Unconventional machining such as laser-assisted turning is effective to increase tool life. Under certain conditions, a “wear shield” was observed during the early stages of tool wear during turning, thereby increasing tool life considerably. The studies carried out on milling showed that the cutting parameters affecting surface roughness and tool wear are dependent on the tool material. The high temperatures and high shears that occur during machining lead to microstructural changes in the workpiece during grinding, and in the chips during turning. The adiabatic shear band (ASB) of the chips is the seat of the sub-grains’ formation. Finally, the cutting speed and lubrication influenced dust emission during turning but more studies are needed to validate this finding. For the milling or grinding, there are major areas to be considered for thoroughly understanding the machining behavior of TiMMCs (tool wear mechanisms, chip formation, dust emission, etc.).
