Considerable research has been directed towards discovering new engineering materials for various applications. As a superhard material, Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) has been developed and applied to engineering for several tens of years. Due to its high specific strength and stiffness as well as good creep, fatigue and wear resistance at elevated temperatures, CBN has been widely used as cutting tool material in manufacturing industry. In this paper, the preparation and characteristics of CBN are introduced. As hard turning has been more and more employed in recent years as an advanced metal cutting technique, the application of CBN cutting tools in hard turning is presented based on the literature, and in particular, the main wear mechanisms of CBN tools in hard turning are summarized, owing to the significant influence of tool wear on the tool life and product quality.

Wear Monitoring

In hard turning, tool wear of cutting tool crossing the limit is highly undesirable because it adversely affects the surface finish. Hence continuous, online tool wear monitoring during the process is essential. The analysis of Acoustic Emission (AE) signal generated during conventional machining has been studied by many investigators for understanding the process of metal cutting and tool wear phenomena. In this experimental study on hard turning, the skew and kurtosis parameters of root mean square values of AE signal (AERMS) have been used for online monitoring of a Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) tool wear.

Cutting Operation

Abstract: In manufacturing industry cutting tools are considered as the backbone of the metal cutting operation. In metal cutting operation there is relative motion between the tool and the workpiece. As the tool material is harder than the workpiece material, there is deformation of the workpiece which acts as a base for the formation of chips. If we observe the process of metal cutting, we can easily find out that there is a considerable amount of heat generated during the machining operation. As there is a point of interface between the tool and the workpiece, there is absorption of generated heat into both the tool as well as work material. Due to the absorption of the heat there is distortion in the tool material. In this research article we have taken the base parameters as speed, load and stroke and the output parameter is taken as the load which breaks the coating of the tool. Keywords: tool coating, scratch tester, speed, stroke, coating.

Three Dimensional Finite Element

Hard turning processes promise affordable fabrication of machined components with high dimensional accuracy requirements. In an effort to achieve the desired economics a vast array of process variables must be considered including tool material, geometry, edge preparation, wear, speed and feed selection, while maintaining part quality. One method to reduce the number of necessary experiments is through accurate and reliable modeling. A three-dimensional finite element model is presented which includes fully adaptive unstructured mesh generation, tight thermo-mechanically coupling, deformable tool-chip-workpiece contact, interfacial heat transfer across the tool-chip boundary, momentum effects at high speeds and constitutive models appropriate for high strain rate, finite deformation analyses. The model is applied to nose turning of hardened steel workpieces, HRc 60. Metal cutting tests are performed, cutting forces collected, and validation comparison is made.

In order to increase the accurate finishing productivity of pearlitic cast iron, face milling by CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) cutting tools was studied. The main focus of the study is the machinability investigation of pearlitic cast iron with CBN cutting tools by studying the relationships among machining conditions such as feed rate, cutting speed as well as CBN cutting tool type, tool wear, workpiece surface quality, cutting forces, and cutting temperature. In addition, an emphasis is put on the effect of Al additive in pearlitic cast iron on its machinability and tool wear characteristics. High-speed milling experiments with CBN cutting tools were conducted on a vertical machining center under different machining conditions. The results obtained provide a useful understanding of milling performance by CBN cutting tools.

Sufficient Strength

Cutting tools of sufficient strength against failure by brittle fracture or loss of “form stability” through rise of interface temperatures, still continue to fail by a process of “wear,” which is loss of cutting tool material through gradual interaction between the work and the tool material. Such wear can take place either at the principal flank surface or at the top face of the cutting tool for roughing and semiroughing cuts. Wear may also occur at the auxiliary flank surface resulting in grooving wear during fine machining or machining of high strength materials. The causes for such wear processes include (i) mechanical interaction (abrasion or adhesion and transfer type), (ii) thermochemical interaction (diffusion or chemical reaction). As a part of this investigation on tool wear, two theoretical models have been proposed for explaining mechanical wear at the flank surface. These models explain the nature and characteristics of wear growth and the sensitiveness and dependence of interaction phenomena between the tool-work pair.

Magnesium alloy sheets bear significant potential in replacing conventional materials such as aluminium and steels in ultra lightweight designs. High specific strength and stiffness, combined with the lowest density of all structural metals make magnesium alloy sheets candidates to face the challenges of reducing vessel weight in the transportation industry and thus, green house gas emissions. For forming components from sheet metal, deep drawing is a well established and commonly applied process. Due to the limited formability of magnesium sheets at room temperature, deep drawing processes have to be conducted at elevated temperatures. In the present study, hot deep drawing experiments on an industrial scale hydraulic press were successfully conducted. Forming was done at moderately low temperatures from 150°C to 250°C. Sheets of the magnesium alloy AZ31B (Mg-3Al-1Zn-Mn) were drawn to symmetrical cups according to Swift. For AZ31, distinct basal type textures are formed during hot rolling. The influence of texture on earing is displayed. The microstructural evolution of the material is dominated by the formation of twins and dynamic recrystallisation. By optimising the process, a drawing ratio of 2.9 was achieved for AZ31 sheet, outperforming conventional materials at ambient temperature.

The author considers methods of forecasting metal-cutting tool life based on characteristics of cutting tool material. These characteristics depend on differences in numerical values of physical and chemical properties of tool material due to changes in its composition, structure, and production process variables. The described methods allow obtaining the information necessary for forecasting the tool life beyond the process of cutting, for example at the stage of cutting tool manufacturing. The author suggests using the method of registration of thermo-physical properties of the tool material as a promising forecasting technique.

Turning experiments were performed with cemented WC-Co cutting tools coated with two-layer and three-layer overcoats of TiC/Al2O3 and TiC/Al2O3/TiN, respectively. For comparison, uncoated WC-Co tools were also tested under similar cutting conditions. The predominant wear mechanisms of the various ceramic overcoats and cemented WC-Co were investigated using surface profilometry, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Representative results of the tool wear behavior are presented, and the significance of each ceramic layer on the overall tool wear resistance is interpreted in light of the identified dominant wear mechanisms. Delamination wear characterized by the propagation and linkage of surface, subsurface, and interfacial cracks, abrasion, surface plastic shearing, plucking of carbide grains, and dissolution/diffusion are shown to occur depending on the tool material. These wear processes are not mutually exclusive; they may occur simultaneously at different positions on the same tool surface. Based on nose wear data, correlations between wear lives of coated and uncoated tools and feedrate are established.

Significant Difference

Hard turning is the process to watch in many industries, as it is a perfect candidate for the actual trends toward automation and flexible manufacturing. However, there are still many possible conjunctures created by different geometries or materials of the workpieces versus different types of cutting tools with effect on workpiece surface quality, tool wear, machine tool vibrations, etc. These insufficiently explored combinations make manufacturers hesitate to adopt hard turning as a finishing process. This paper brings new findings concerning the effect of cutting parameters and tool nose radius variations on surface finish as a result of continuous and interrupted hard turning. The considered workpieces are a camshaft made of AISI 1117 steel at 62 HRC for continuous cutting, and a spline shaft made of AISI 1137 steel at 48 HRC for interrupted cutting. Two types of PcBN cutting tools are used for both types of component parts. The investigation highlights the differences between the ideal, geometrically determined, surface roughness Ra and the experimental results, as well as the differences recorded between the continuous and interrupted cutting situations. The factorial experimentation technique was employed taking the resulting surface rughness (Ra) as a response variable. The influence of tool wear was finally considered in the analysis of the predicted values of roughness obtained through characteristic regression equations. A significant difference of roughness evolution versus tool wear was recorded for the continuous and interrupted surfaces. The analysis was completed based on profilometry and light interferometry measurements as well as optical and SEM microscopy observations.

Finishing methods of machining of superhard composite’s working elements based on cubic boron nitride BL group are considered. The results of the microgeometry formation research of the cutting inserts’ surfaces during machining by free powders of synthetic diamond, grinding wheels and a method of vibro-magnetic-abrasive machining (VMAM) are presented. It is shown that during VMAM the friction between the inserts’ surfaces and the abrasive particles result in microremoval of the material, which reduces the roughness of the cutting inserts’ surfaces. It is established that additional fine grinding with 14/10 mkm synthetic diamond powder provides the absence of microgeometry defects of the cutting inserts’ surfaces left by pre-machining. The result of high-quality rounding of cutting edges and the formation of surfaces of cutting inserts with less roughness is an increase in strength and wear resistance of metal-cutting tools in high-speed machining under conditions of significant loads.
