Cutting Tool Materials

Modern trends in metal cutting, high speed/feed machining, dry cutting and hard cutting set more demanding characteristics for cutting tool materials. The exposed parts of the cutting edges must be protected against the severe loading conditions and wear. The most significant coatings methods for cutting tools are PVD and CVD/MTCVD today. The choice of the right substrate or the right protective coating in the specific machining operation can have serious impact on machining productivity and economy. In many cases the deposition of the cutting tool with a hard coating increases considerably its cutting performance and tool life. The coating protects the tool against abrasion, adhesion, diffusion, formation of comb cracks and other wear phenomena.

High-speed machining (HSM) has received great interest because it leads to an increase of productivity and a better workpiece surface quality. However, tool wear increases dramatically due to the high temperature at the tool/workpiece interface. Proper selection of cutting tool and cutting parameters is the key process in high-speed machining. In this paper, experiments have been conducted to high speed milling pearlitic cast iron with different tool materials, including polycrystalline cubic boron nitrogen, ceramics and coated cemented carbides. Wear curves and tool life curves have been achieved at various cutting speeds with different cutting tools. If efficiency is considered, Polycrystalline Cubic Boron Nitrogen cutting tool materials are preferred in finish and semi-finish machining. According to the different hardness of cast iron, the appropriate range of cutting speed is from 850 m/min to 1200m/min.

Cutting Tool Materials

The role of chemical stability of cutting tool materials in tool wear was investigated by studying the wear characteristics of titanium oxycarbides. The oxycarbides TiC0.25O0.75, TiC0.5O0.5, TiC0.6O0.4, and TiC0.75O0.25 were produced by solid state interdiffusion of TiO and TiC. Their hardnesses and lattice spacings were determined as functions of their chemical composition. The chemical interaction of these oxycarbides with steel was investigated by diffusion couple experiments. Then commercially available cemented carbide tools were coated with TiC0.5O0.5 and TiC0.75O0.25 by RF diode sputtering. The wear resistance of these coated tools was determined by cutting tests. The wear rate of these oxycarbide coated tools was comparable to that of a TiC coated tool, although the free energies of formation of oxycarbides were lower and their hardnesses comparable. It is, therefore, concluded that while the data on free energy of formation and hardness can be useful in the initial screening steps of tool materials, the kinetics of the wear process needs to be more fully understood to define the chemical stability of tool materials in a cutting environment.
