Study Concerning the Cutting Tool Wear at Drilling of the Stainless Steel X20Cr13
The researches in the cutting domain have as purpose the cutting process economic optimization. This paper studies the cutting tool wear at drilling of the stainless steel X20Cr13. The experimental data and their subsequent processing represent the original contribution of the authors to the estimation of polytropic exponents and to the assessment in terms of structure of the calculus relation of the cutting tool wear. The obtained relationship of the cutting tool wear on the tool putting surface at drilling of the steel X20Cr13 permits the determination of the wear on the putting surface, in the case of a couple: stainless steel X20Cr13 - Rp5 high-speed spiral drill, depending on the work parameters and the cutting conditions. Putting the condition of wear limitation, from the obtained relation, the cutting speeds are exactly given. The paper also contains graphs for the variation of the tool wear with parameters of the cutting technology. The results can be taken into consideration in the educational studies and in the theoretical technical research. They can be implemented in the manufacturing activity.
