According to the condition of the high speed milling aluminum (al) blades, the wear characteristics of the carbide tool was observed, whose wear characteristics mainly were flank wear, micro-tipping, exfoliation and so on. With the increase of the cutting time, the tool wear became larger according to the increment of the spindle speed. At the condition of the same feed per tooth, applying high speed finish milling for al alloy blades whose cutting efficiency increased remarkably, surface roughness decreased, high speed machining was adopted in real applications to achieve high economical benefits.

This report examined tool wear in high-speed machining of tool steel with a hardness of HRC 63. Wear monitored periodically using the device for automatic geometric correction tool (length and radius) situated in the working area of the machine. The study was conducted on milling machine RAIS M400 with CNC Heidenhain iTNC 530i.

In order to improve efficiency of high speed milling, effects of pick feeds of up cutting and down cutting on tool wear and processing characteristics were investigated after cutting pre-hardened steel NAK 55 by TiAlN-coated carbide radius end mill. Flank wear of the tools after up cutting was less than down cutting when the pick feed was smaller than 0.1 mm, which tendency changed when the pick feed was larger than 0.3 mm.

Different materials coated on milling tools (tungsten carbide) such as TiCN, TiAlN, TiN and DLC are integrated in this study for the analysis of cutting performance such as tool wear, surface roughness and noise induced in high-speed machining of mold steels such as NAK80 and SKD61 under different combinations of cutting conditions. The study attempts to find out the advantages and adaptabilities in various coating materials being suitable for which cutting circumferences with specific performance request. High-speed milling experiments of NAK80 and SKD61 mold steels with four materials coating tools were carried out in the laboratory. The tool wear was measured through the toolmaker’s microscope and the roughness of the machined surface was measured by the roughness measuring instruments after each surface layer was removed from the workpiece in the experiment. Besides, the noise-mediator was used to detect cutting noise during each surface layer workpiece removing of high-speed milling process, and the curl chips removed from the workpiece were also collected for the result verifications. Good surface quality and small amount of tool wear can be achieved under the cutting conditions of high-speed revolutions, small feed rate and small depth of cut for four materials coating tools. From the observations of the annealing temperature from the removed chips and the analysis of the cutting noise levels, TiAlN material coating tool has the better tool life and it is suitable for rougher high-speed machining, while DLC material coating tool only has a good surface roughness in shallow cut and hence it is not suitable for high-speed machining of mold steel with excellent cutting performance request.

The milling experiments were carried out using TiAlN and PCD coated carbide tools in high speed milling Ti6Al4V to compare and analyze tool wear and tool life of the two kinds of coating carbide tools. In addition, the effect of cooling and lubricating on tool wear is also studied. The results showed that fluid environment is not suitable for milling Ti6Al4V. PCD coating carbide tool can effectively increase the life of tool in high speed milling of Ti6Al4V.

Stainless steel is an excellent material that has properties such as heat and corrosion resistance. Thus, stainless steel is used as a material in steam turbine blades. Steam turbine blades are mainly manufactured using two methods. One is the cutting of unforged metal ingots. Another is the cutting of forged parts. Small blades are made by cutting metal ingots. Large blades are made by cutting forged parts. The mechanical characteristics of a metal ingot and a forged part, such as hardness and toughness, are almost the same. There were not researches related to a relationship between “an unforged ingot and a forged part of stainless steel” and “the differences of the tool wear and the finished surface by high-speed milling”.In this study, the high-speed milling of stainless steel was attempted for high-efficiency cutting of a steam turbine blade. The differences of the tool wear and the finished surface in the cuttings of an unforged ingot and a forged part were investigated. In the experiment, the cutting tool was a TiAlN coating radius solid end mill made of cemented carbide. The diameter of the end mill was 5 mm, and the corner radius was 0.2 mm. The cutting speed were 100 m/min-600 m/min. The workpieces used were a metal ingot and a forged part of stainless steel. In the results, it was found that the differences of the tool wear and the finished surface in the cuttings of an unforged ingot and a forged part. In the case of the unforged ingot, the flank wear became large with increasing cutting speed. On the other hand, in the case of forged part, the flank wear rapidly increased at a cutting speed of 100 m/min. In addition, the flank wear became smaller than the cutting speed 100 m/min at the cutting speed 200 m/min. Further, the flank wear became large with increasing cutting speed at cutting speeds higher than 200 m/min. That is, the flank wear was at a minimum at a cutting speed of 200 m/min. Although it could not be confirmed the characteristic of high speed milling at an unforged ingot, it has been identified at a forged part.
