This paper presents a study of the effects of tool wear on cutting force and surface roughness. The cutting force was measured using a piezoelectric force meter which was attached to the cutting machine's revolving head. The surface roughness was measured after the cutting process was complete using a mechanical touch method. A range of thermoplastic materials and cutting layouts were used to give a broader understanding of the topic. After the measurements were taken, the data were evaluated statistically and the effects of tool wear are illustrated graphically. Furthermore, to understand all of the types of wear which can occur during thermoplastics turning, worn turning inserts taken from industrial machines were examined under a microscope. The aim of the study was to define a method for monitoring tool wear during the turning process to avoid tool breakage and/or reduce the number of scrapped parts.

Abstract Ramp-up is a major step in the implementation of manufacturing systems, and is even more critical in reconfigurable manufacturing systems. For a successful reduction in ramp-up time, it is essential to analyze and monitor both the overall manufacturing system and the individual machine tools/processes that comprise the system. Towards this end, we have addressed the issue of monitoring tool wear using audible sound to enable faulty conditions associated with wear to be identified during the process before the part quality gets out of specification. Audible sound generated from the cutting process is analyzed as a source for monitoring tool wear during turning, assuming adhesive wear as the predominant wear mechanism. The analysis incorporates the dynamics of the cutting process. In modeling the interaction on the flank surface, the asperities on the surfaces are represented as a trapezoidal series function with normal distribution. The effect of changing asperity height, size, spacing, and the stiffness of the asperity interaction is investigated and compared with experimental data.

The article compares two cutting edge preparation methods and their influence on the machined surface roughness of the difficult to cut nickel alloy Inconel 718 and the tool wear of cutting inserts made of cemented carbide. The manufacturing and preparation process of cutting inserts used in the experiment were made by Dormer Pramet. The preparation methods used in the experiment were drag finishing and brushing. Cutting parameters did not change during the whole turning process to maintain the same conditions in each step of the process and were determined based on tests for a semi-finishing operation of the turning process. To obtain durability of 25 to 30 minutes with controlled development of the tool wear the cutting parameters were determined with cooperation with the cutting inserts manufacturer.

The surface roughness is a crucial factor in machining methods. The most effective factors on surface roughness are feed rate and tool nose radius. Due to the many advantages of wiper (multi-nose radius) inserts, their importance and use has been increasing recently. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of wiper inserts on surface roughness and tool wear. In this study, conventional inserts and wiper inserts were experimentally compared separately in milling and turning operations. Compared to conventional inserts, the surface roughness values obtained using wiper inserts improved by 33% in turning operations and approximately 40% in milling operations. It was observed that the production time in the turning process was reduced by about 25% in the case of using wiper inserts compared to the use of conventional inserts. In milling, this ratio was determined to be approximately 43% due to the fact that it has multiple cutting edge. It has been observed that the use of wiper inserts in machining methods creates a significant time and cost saving advantage.

Mechanical And Physical Properties

Flake (FGI) and spheroidal (SGI) graphite cast irons are often used to produce workpieces, which often need to be machined. Machinability differences under various machining methods are the basis for choosing machining equipment and technology. In this work, FGI and SGI were used to produce tractor front brackets, and the machinability of both materials under turning and drilling processes was compared. The machinability (turning and drilling ability) has been evaluated in terms of machining load, chips shape, surface roughness, and tool temperature. The influence of materials microstructure and thermal conductivity on the machinability was analyzed. In the turning process, the cutting force and its standard deviation of the FGI were larger than the SGI due to the higher volume fraction of pearlite. The surface roughness was similar in both materials. In the drilling process, the even action of the friction and cutting force on the bit turned into similar drilling loads for both materials. Higher friction and lower thermal conductivity caused a higher bit temperature in SGI drilling compared to FGI. The chip breaking was worse in SGI drilling, where the longer chips scratched the internal surface of the holes, resulting in the higher surface roughness.

Innovative Potential

Diamond turning of steel parts is conventionally not possible due to the high tool wear. However this process would enable several different applications with high economical innovative potential. One technology that enables the direct manufacturing of steel components with monocrystalline diamond is the ultrasonic assisted diamond turning process. This technology has been investigated over the years within the Fraunhofer IPT and is now commercialized by its spin-off company son-x. Surface roughness in the range of Ra < 5 nm can be achieved and the diamond tool wear is reduced by a factor of 100 or higher. In order to prove the industrial suitability of the process, two aspherical shapes and one large spherical geometry have been manufactured. The possible form accuracies and surface roughness values will be described in this paper, as well as the tool wear. The goal was to achieve optical surface roughness and a shape accuracy below 300 nm.

Coated Carbide

Tool coatings can improve the machinability performance of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys. Therefore, in the current work, high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy was carried out to determine the performance of various coated cutting tools. Five types of coated carbide inserts – monolayer TiCN, AlTiN, TiAlN and two layers TiCN + TiN and AlTiN + TiN, which were deposited by physical vapour deposition – were employed in the experiments. Tool wear, cutting force, surface roughness and chip morphology were evaluated and compared for different coated tools. To understand the tool wear modes and mechanisms, detailed scanning electron microscope analysis combined with energy dispersive X-ray of the worn inserts were conducted. Abrasion, adhesion, chipping and mechanical crack on flank face and coating delamination, adhesion and crater wear on rake face were observed during high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. In terms of tool wear, the lowest value was obtained with TiCN-coated insert. It was also found that at the beginning of the machining pass TiAlN-coated insert and at the end of machining TiCN-coated insert gave the lowest cutting force and surface roughness values. No change in chip morphology was observed with different coated inserts.
