Regrinding of wasted cutting tools can recycle resources and decrease manufacturing costs. Influence of relative tool sharpness and tool cutting edge angle on tool edge radius were analyzed. Cutting force and cutting temperature were simulated with FEM on different edge radius. Edge preparation experiments were carried out though an abrasive nylon brushing method. The results show that RTS and cutting edge angle have influence on edge radius. Small edge radius might result in small cutting forces and lower average temperatures, could maintain the cutting state between tool and workpiece. The cutting edge defects can be eliminated through edge preparation, and a smooth cutting edge can be obtained. Cutting tool life will be improved through proper edge design and edge preparation.

Edge preparation is a process to modify edge geometry and surface integrity of cutting tools. Edge preparation experiments of tungsten carbide cutting tools were carried out through an abrasive nylon brushing method. Tools wear and cutting temperatures with different edge radius were simulated with FEM software. The experimental results show that cutting edge defects were eliminated through brushing edge preparation. The edge radius has influences on cutting tool performance. When the edge radius is 20μm, the least wear can be obtained. Then tool wear value increases with the edge radius. A suitable edge radius will have a reasonable cutting temperature distribution. The tool temperature distribution shows the same results as tool wear. A suitable edge radius range is needed for edge preparation and a reasonable edge radius is needed to improve tool life.

Two Factors

This paper deals with the regenerative chatter vibration occurring in cutting tools with different side cutting edge angles. The occurrence of regenerative chatter vibration of the cutting tool is influenced by two factors, which are closely related to the vibratory energy supply or consumption. One factor is the interference effect between the tool flank and the workpiece. Of course, this factor exists in the primary chatter, too. The other is the regenerative effect. The influence of both factors on the regenerative chatter vibration of cutting tools with different side cutting edge angles is examined experimentally. The vibratory energy supply is simulated, considering the dynamic cutting process. As a result, the property of the regenerative chatter vibration and the influence of the side cutting edge angle on the regenerative chatter vibration are clarified.

Diamond coatings have been increasingly extended to cutting tool applications for machining advanced materials such high-silicon aluminum alloys. Diamond coating tool behaviors are interrelatedly influenced by both the coating and subsequent machining, and yet the tool edge geometry strongly impacts the stress fields around the cutting edge during each process. To effectively use diamond coating tools, it is necessary to understand the stress modifications around the tool edge due to the deposition and during machining. In this study, finite element modeling was applied to simulate deposition stresses from coating and stress modifications due to subsequent machining affected by the edge radius. The results are summarized as follows. For deposition stresses, edge sharpness causes significant stress concentrations around the edge radius area. In machining, the thrust forces increase drastically with the increased edge radius, while the cutting forces increase only marginally. During machining, the thermal load, which causes stress reversal conditions, is more dominant to stress evolutions than the mechanical load. For all cutting conditions tested, increasing the edge radius results in increased stress reversal. The edge radius effects on stress reversal are more prominent at small uncut chip thickness and high speed, which is due to more pronounced size effects and high cutting temperatures. Though large edge radii reduce the deposition stresses, the reduction seems insufficient to compensate the added machining loads within the range of edge radii studied.

Edge Preparation

In machining operation, cutting tool performs a central role towards the overall machining performance. A user from metal cutting community always look for better cutting tools that can enhance productivity by reducing tool wear and cost. Modification in the micro-geometry of cutting edge is termed as edge preparation, and it is performed to improve the machining performance by strengthening the cutting edge, reducing internal stresses of coating and lowering the edge chipping etc. Edge preparation has a controlling influence on the formation of deformation zones, cutting temperature, cutting forces and stresses at the cutting interface. Vibration assisted machining (VAM) concept is gaining fame in the metal cutting sector community for machining difficult-to-machine materials. In VAM, cutting tool moves with a small amplitude vibration instead of moving with a constant cutting velocity. This small amplitude vibrational movement provides better machining performance for difficult-to-cut brittle materials. The current numerical study utilized different edge prepared micro-geometries such as sharp edge, round edge and chamfer edge etc. cutting tools, and then these cutting tools were used in the numerical simulations of VAM. The study shows higher magnitude of cutting forces under VAM with tools with modified geometry. The study is beneficial for the metal cutting community and opens new areas of industrial applications.

Rounded cutting-edge radius is commonly applied to finish and semi-finish cutting, precision machining and micro-machining. The optimum effect is closely related to the work and tool material as well as machining parameters. However, for numerous cutting process, the optimal radius of rounded cutting-edge radius and machining parameters applied in the AISI H13 of end-milling is yet unknown Therefore, in improving tool life and cutting tool performance, a suitable design of cutting edge geometry regarding cutting edge-radius and machining parameters need to be examined and properly selected. In this regard, the paper deals to examine the effect of cutting edge-radius in rounded form and machining parameters of cutting force, cutting temperature and chip formation through the end-milling process of AISI H13 using uncoated cemented carbide cutting tool through finite element simulation of Thirdwave AdvantEdge 7.2 software. The machining parameters applied in the simulation setup were 200 and 240m/min of cutting speed, 0.03 and 0.06mm/tooth of feed-rate and axial depth of cut of 0.1 and 0.2mm while width of cut in radial direction was kept constant at 6.0mm. The cutting geometries includes the cutting-edge radius of 0.03 and 0.05mm and 10° of rake angle. The obtained results revealed that cutting forces and cutting temperature is increase as depth of cut in axial direction and cutting-edge radius increases while increasing value of speed and feed-rate of cutting resulted in decreasing cutting forces but increasing cutting temperature. The maximum cutting temperature is 674.91℃. The value obtained is lesser than the AISI H13 austenitizing temperature, therefore a layer known as white layer is supposedly hard to be created based on the cutting geometry and machining parameters applied.

Tool edge preparation can improve the tool life, as well as cutting performance and machined surface quality, meeting the requirements of high-speed and high-efficiency cutting. In general, prepared tool edges could be divided into symmetric or asymmetric edges. In the present study, the cemented carbide tools were initially edge prepared through drag finishing. The simulation model of the carbide cemented tool milling steel was established through Deform software. Effects of edge form factor, spindle speed, feed per tooth, axial, and radial cutting depth on the cutting force, the tool wear, the cutting temperature, and the surface quality were investigated through the orthogonal cutting simulation. The simulated cutting force results were compared to the results obtained from the orthogonal milling experiment through the dynamometer Kistler, which verified the simulation model correctness. The obtained results provided a basis for edge preparation effect along with high-speed and high effective cutting machining comprehension.

Angesichts steigender Anforderungen an Zerspanwerkzeuge nimmt die Schneidkantenpräparation einen immer größer werdenden Stellenwert ein, da sich so die Standzeit von Zerspanwerkzeugen erhöhen lässt. Die bisher eingesetzten Präparationsverfahren eignen sich meist nur für einfache Verrundungen an der Schneidkante. In umfangreichen Untersuchungen wurde die Eignung von Formschleifprozessen zur Herstellung definierter Schneidkantenmikrogeometrien anhand von Arbeitsergebnissen analysiert.   Due to increasing demands on cutting tools cutting edge preparation has a high priority because it influences the tool life. Current cutting edge preparation processes can only generate simple roundings on the cutting edge. By extensive investigations the suitability of form grinding processes for the production of defined microgeometries on the cutting edge was analysed.

This paper describes a comparison of the mechanical structures (a double-sided beam and a cantilever beam) of a probe in a tool edge profiler for the measurement of a micro-cutting tool. The tool edge profiler consists of a positioning unit having a pair of one-axis DC servo motor stages and a probe unit having a laser displacement sensor and a probe composed of a stylus and a mechanical beam; on-machine measurement of a tool cutting edge can be conducted with a low contact force through measuring the deformation of the probe by the laser displacement sensor while monitoring the tool position. Meanwhile, the mechanical structure of the probe could affect the performance of measurement of the edge profile of a precision cutting tool. In this paper, the measurement principle of the tool edge profile is firstly introduced; after that, slopes and a top-flat of a cutting tool sample are measured by using a cantilever-type probe and a double-sided beam-type probe, respectively. The measurement performances of the two probes are compared through experiments and theoretical measurement uncertainty analysis.

The improvement of the microgeometry became a subject of a great interest in cutting tools optimization. This paper approaches the process of cutting edge preparation of solid carbide reamers. It has been analyzed the evolution of cutting edge wear resistance in the material GGG 40 using the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The work also compared the rounded cutting edge reamers realized using wet abrasive jet machining with standard unprepared cutting edge. To obtain different microgeometries were experienced a number of machining strategies, which resulted in four combinations of roundness and forms for the cutting edge. In order to validate the results, the author studied the wear resistance during the reaming tests, the influence of prepared surface of the cutting edge on metallic coating layer adhesion. The final purpose was to determinate the optimal strategy of cutting edge preparation considering the evolution of wear during the reaming process.
