Powder metallurgy (PM) nickel-based superalloy is regarded as one of the most important aerospace industry materials, which has been widely used in advanced turbo-engines. This paper presents an experimental study of high speed milling of powder metallurgy nickel-based superalloy with PVD (TiAlN-TiN) coated carbide tools. Experimental measurements of milling temperature and milling force were performed. Then the surface roughness and tool wear were analyzed and discussed under dry machining conditions. The results might be helpful to guiding the selection and design of tool materials and control of tool wear in high speed milling PM nickel-based superalloy.

The present paper is an experimental investigation on the machinability of powder metallurgy (PM) nickel-based superalloy during drilling using high-speed steel (M42) drills. The effect of machining parameters on the cutting force, cutting temperature and tool wear were investigated during the experimentation. The effect of machining parameters on the tool wear was examined through SEM micrographs. The research work findings will also provide useful economic machining solution by utilizing economical high-speed steel drills during drilling processing of powder metallurgy nickel-based superalloy, which is otherwise usually machined by costly coated carbide tools or CBN tools. The present approach and results will be helpful for understanding the machinability of powder metallurgy nickel-based superalloy during drilling for the manufacturing engineers.

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.

Tool coatings can improve the machinability performance of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys. Therefore, in the current work, high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy was carried out to determine the performance of various coated cutting tools. Five types of coated carbide inserts – monolayer TiCN, AlTiN, TiAlN and two layers TiCN + TiN and AlTiN + TiN, which were deposited by physical vapour deposition – were employed in the experiments. Tool wear, cutting force, surface roughness and chip morphology were evaluated and compared for different coated tools. To understand the tool wear modes and mechanisms, detailed scanning electron microscope analysis combined with energy dispersive X-ray of the worn inserts were conducted. Abrasion, adhesion, chipping and mechanical crack on flank face and coating delamination, adhesion and crater wear on rake face were observed during high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. In terms of tool wear, the lowest value was obtained with TiCN-coated insert. It was also found that at the beginning of the machining pass TiAlN-coated insert and at the end of machining TiCN-coated insert gave the lowest cutting force and surface roughness values. No change in chip morphology was observed with different coated inserts.

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.

TA15 (Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V) is a close alpha titanium alloy strengthened by solid solution with Al and other component. A series of experiments were carried out on normal and high speed milling of TA15. The recommended tools for many years had been the uncoated tungsten carbide grade K. In this work, the tool life of coated carbide tools used in high speed milling of forging and cast titanium alloy was studied. Additionally, the wear mechanism of cutting tools was also discussed. Finally, surface integrity, including surface roughness, metallograph and work hardening, were examined and analyzed. The result shows that the surface quality of forging and cast machined by carbide cutter is similar, but the tool life of carbide in high speed milling of forging TA15 is longer than that in high speed milling of cast TA15.

This paper makes an experiment in high-speed milling of Inconel 718. Cutting tests were performed using round and ceramic tools, at feeds from 0.06 to 0.14 mm/tooth, Axial Depth of Cut from0.5 to 1.5mm,and cutting speeds ranging from 500 to 1037 m/min. The behaviour of the cutting forces during machining was then measure. The results show that cutting force increases first and then decreases with the increase of feed per tooth, the tool chipping and groove wear were found with the increase of axial cutting depth, and cutting force is increased; the increase in cutting force with the cutting speed increases, when the cutting speed reaches a critical speed, the cutting force as the cutting speed increases began to decline.

High-speed milling of titanium alloys is widely used in aviation and aerospace industries for its high efficiency and good quality. In order to optimize machining parameters in high-speed milling TB6 titanium alloy, temperature distribution on the workpiece and the tool are analyzed, and the effect of milling parameters on milling force and milling temperature are investigated. The results show that the highest temperature appears on rake face, and near to the tool tip. With increasing of cutting time, heat affected zone on tool is bigger than that on workpiece. Milling temperature is most sensitive to the variation of milling speed, next sensitive to the variation of feed per tooth, and it is least sensitive to milling depth. Milling force is most sensitive to the variation of milling depth, next sensitive to the variation of feed per tooth, and it is least sensitive to milling speed.
