In this work a factorial planning had been used to evaluate the CBN tool life during cut-ting SAE 8620 steel. Part U2222 of a TPGW 160408 insert of TX-LS TB650 and 2NU-SHMA6942 S7182BN300 classes from two manufacturers were used in this experiment. A 23 factorial design was used In cutting process to evaluate the behavior of the tool life and reason of the exchange of the part on influences of the chamfer (in S and T+S), the advancing speeds (0.09, 0.10 and 0.11 mm/rpm) at a cutting speed of 91.2 m/min. Model have been fit by variance analysis (ANOVA) and the processing optimization was done by response surface methodology (RSM). Results showed that a hyperbolic model had more adjusting than other models and the optimization showed a high life time for the TX-LS TB650 tool from A manufacturer on 0.09 mm/rpm of advancing speed, where it was observed that the pre-cranking was the reason of the exchange.

Using polycrystalline cubic boron nitride compact (cBN) tools, which have different cBN contents and cBN particle sizes, the influences of both the cBN content and the cBN particle size on tool wear in turning of hardened steel at various cutting speeds was experimentally investigated. Three types of cBN tools (a cBN content of 45-55% and 75%, and a cBN particle size of 0.5 μm and 5 μm, respectively) were tested. Furthermore, three kinds of chamfered and honed cutting edges were also used. The main results obtained are as follows: (1) In the case of the cBN tools with the same cBN particle size of 5.0 μm, the tool life of the cBN tool with a cBN content of 75% was longer than that of the cBN tool with a cBN content of 45% at low cutting speed. However, at high cutting speed, the tool life of the cBN tool with a cBN content of 75% was shorter. (2) The tool life of the cBN tool with both a cBN content of 55% and a cBN particle size of 0.5 μm was the longest. (3) The tool wear of cBN tools decreased with a decrease in chamfer width.

Ti6Al4V is a difficult to machine alloy with low cutting efficiency and server tool wear. A series of orthogonal turning tests with CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) in higher speed scale was carried out on a CA6140 lathe. The experiential functions of tool life based on orthogonal experiment were developed. The tool wear morphologies were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), adhesion, diffusion and micro-chipping were the major wear mechanisms of CBN tool. Finally, the cutting parameters of CBN tool in Ti6Al4V dry turning were optimized based on tool life-efficiency contour analysis, in same cutting efficiency, the higher cutting speed and small depth of cut are the better selection, it means that utilization of CBN tool enables the high cutting speed turning of Ti6Al4V.

The main objective of the present work is to determine the performance of resharpened integral coated cemented carbide end milling tools. Tools as new and after they have been resharpened were tested, during machining of hard steel used in the mold and die industry. The coatings used were TiAlN and AlCrN. The cutting speed was varied, keeping the depth of cut, the cutting width and the feed per tooth constants. Tests were carried out dry. A 23 factorial design was used, considering the following factors (and levels): cutting speed (80 and 100 m / min), tool coating (TiAlN and AlCrN) and the tool condition (new and reground). The output parameter considered is the tool life (wear rate). At the end of the tool life the wear mechanisms were analyzed within a Scanning Electron Microscopy - SEM. The results showed that in general the AlCrN coated tools outperformed the TiAlN. The performance of resharpened tools was very similar to the new tools, and statistically there is no significant difference between their tool lives.

The TiC particles in titanium metal matrix composites (TiMMCs) make them difficult to machine. As a specific MMC, it is legitimate to wonder if the cutting mechanisms of TiMMCs are the same as or similar to those of MMCs. For this purpose, the tool wear mechanisms for turning, milling, and grinding are reviewed in this paper and compared with those for other MMCs. In addition, the chip formation and morphology, the material removal mechanism and surface quality are discussed for the different machining processes and examined thoroughly. Comparisons of the machining mechanisms between the TiMMCs and MMCs indicate that the findings for other MMCs should not be taken for granted for TiMMCs for the machining processes reviewed. The increase in cutting speed leads to a decrease in roughness value during grinding and an increase of the tool life during turning. Unconventional machining such as laser-assisted turning is effective to increase tool life. Under certain conditions, a “wear shield” was observed during the early stages of tool wear during turning, thereby increasing tool life considerably. The studies carried out on milling showed that the cutting parameters affecting surface roughness and tool wear are dependent on the tool material. The high temperatures and high shears that occur during machining lead to microstructural changes in the workpiece during grinding, and in the chips during turning. The adiabatic shear band (ASB) of the chips is the seat of the sub-grains’ formation. Finally, the cutting speed and lubrication influenced dust emission during turning but more studies are needed to validate this finding. For the milling or grinding, there are major areas to be considered for thoroughly understanding the machining behavior of TiMMCs (tool wear mechanisms, chip formation, dust emission, etc.).

In this paper, the cutting experiment was used to study the influence of various cutting parameters on cutting force when rough turning titanium alloy (TC4) with the whole CBN tool. The results indicate that among the cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth, the influence of the cutting depth is the most significant on cutting force; the next is the feed rate and the cutting speed is at least.

Titanium alloys are widely utilized in aerospace thanks to their excellent combination of high-specific strength, fracture, corrosion resistance characteristics, etc. However, titanium alloys are difficult-to-machine materials. Tool wear is thus of great importance to understand and quantitatively predict tool life. In this study, the wear of coated carbide tool in milling Ti-6Al-4V alloy was assessed by characterization of the worn tool cutting edge. Furthermore, a tool wear model for end milling cutter is established with considering the joint effect of cutting speed and feed rate for characterizing tool wear process and predicting tool wear. Based on the proposed tool wear model equivalent tool life is put forward to evaluate cutting tool life under different cutting conditions. The modelling process of tool wear is given and discussed according to the specific conditions. Experimental work and validation are performed for coated carbide tool milling Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

This paper details experimental results when turning Ti-6Al-4V using water-miscible vegetable oil-based cutting fluid. The effects of coolant concentration and working conditions on tool flank wear and tool life were evaluated. L27 fractional factorial Taguchi array was employed. Tool wear (VBB) ranged between 28.8 and 110 µm. The study concluded that a combination of VOs based cutting fluid concentration (10%), low cutting speed (58 m/min), feed rate (0.1mm/rev) and depth of cut (0.75mm) is necessary to minimise VBB. Additionally, it is noted that tool wear was significantly affected by cutting speeds. ANOVA results showed that the cutting fluid concentration is statistically insignificant on tool flank wear. A notable increase in tool life (TL) was recorded when a lower cutting speed was used.

Abstract In cutting of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the cutting speed is limited since a high cutting temperature leads to severe tool wear and short tool life, resulting in poor production efficiency. On the other hand, some recent literature has reported that various beneficial effects can be provided by forming micro-textures on the tool surface in the metal cutting process. In this study, in order to achieve high-performance machining of Ti-6Al-4V, we first investigated the mechanism of the tool failure process for a cemented carbide cutting tool in high-speed turning of Ti-6Al-4V. Based on the results, cutting tools with micro textured surfaces were developed under the consideration of a cutting fluid action. A series of experiments showed that the textured rake face successfully decreases the cutting temperature, resulting in a significant suppression of both crater wear and flank wear. In addition, the temperature zone where the texture tool is effective in terms of the tool life in the Ti-6Al-4V cutting was discussed.
