The examination of wear and tool life of CBN cutting tools which are used for hard turning is a emphasized research theme, since the significant proportion of cost of machining associated with cutting tool. In this article we examined the wear of low CBN content cutting tool in case of hard turning of 100Cr6 bearing steel (HRC=62±2). The experiments were carried out with constant depth of cut and feed rate at three different cutting speeds. The flank wear of CBN inserts were measured after predetermined number of passes. The measured flank wear values were described as a function of cutting time and the calculated wear rate as a function of flank wear.The average wear rate were shown at three different cutting speeds.

Cutting tool wear of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) tools was investigated in oblique turning experiments when machining compacted graphite iron at high cutting speeds, with the intention of elucidating the failure mechanisms of the cutting tools and presenting an analysis of the chip formation process. Dry finish turning experiments were conducted in a CNC lathe at cutting speeds in the range of 500–800m/min, at a feed rate of 0.05mm/rev and depth of cut of 0.2mm. Two different tool end-of-life criteria were used: a maximum flank wear scar size of 0.3mm (flank wear failure criterion) or loss of cutting edge due to rapid crater wear to a point where the cutting tool cannot machine with an acceptable surface finish (surface finish criterion). At high cutting speeds, the cutting tools failed prior to reaching the flank wear failure criterion due to rapid crater wear on the rake face of the cutting tools. Chip analysis, using SEM, revealed shear localized chips, with adiabatic shear bands produced in the primary and secondary shear zones.

This article presents the examination of cutting performance of a low CBN content cutting tool in the case of hard turning of 100Cr6 hardened bearing steel. One of the indicators of cutting performance is the wear rate, which can be calculated as a ratio of a measurable geometric parameter of a wear form and some technological parameters (cutting time, cutting length or removed material volume). The wear of CBN cutting tools is characterized by the extent of flank wear hence the wear rates related to cutting time and removed material volume are calculated based on the measured flank wear during the cutting experiments. The alteration of wear rates as a function of flank wear and cutting speed was examined.

In the present work, the performances of TiAlN-, AlCrN- and AlCrN/TiAlN-coated and uncoated tungsten carbide cutting tool inserts are evaluated from the turning studies conducted on EN24 alloy steel workpiece. The output parameters such as cutting forces, surface roughness and tool wear for TiAlN-, AlCrN- and AlCrN/TiAlN-coated carbide cutting tools are compared with uncoated carbide cutting tools (K10). The design of experiment based on Taguchi’s approach is used to obtain the best turning parameters, namely cutting speed ([Formula: see text]), feed rate ([Formula: see text]) and depth of cut ([Formula: see text]), in order to have a better surface finish and minimum tool flank wear. An orthogonal array (L[Formula: see text] was used to conduct the experiments. The results show that the AlCrN/TiAlN-coated cutting tool provided a much better surface finish and minimum tool flank wear. The minimum tool flank wear and minimum surface roughness were obtained using AlCrN/TiAlN-coated tools, when [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m/min, [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm/rev and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]mm.

The aim of the present investigation was to identify the wear mechanisms of TiN-coated CBN tools prevalent under different machining conditions during hard turning of hot tool die steel. The different wear mechanisms observed were abrasion wear at low cutting speed, low feed rate, and high workpiece hardness; formation of a transferred layer resulting from tribochemical reactions between constituents of the tool and workpiece material at high speed; and the formation of built-up edges at moderate cutting speed. Hard carbide particles of the work material at higher feed rate severely abraded the tool flank land, resulting in shallow grooves due to the detachment of CBN grains. At greater depth of cut, the built-up edges and transferred layer reduced friction and tool wear. Excessive adhesion of workpiece material followed by plastic deformation and notching were clearly visible at low workpiece hardness (47 HRC). The influence of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and workpiece hardness on the progressive tool flank wear, i.e. flank wear rate (VBr, μm/mm) in the steady wear region, was also analysed. The flank wear rate was observed to decrease with increase in cutting speed, depth of cut, and workpiece hardness, but after an initial decrease it increased with increase in feed rate.


Here, we found and observed different results of experimental work in dry turning of S31700 grade stainless steels using coated and uncoated cemented carbides. The turning tests were conducted at three different cutting speeds (150and 200m/min) while feed rate and depth of cut were kept constant at 0.3 mm/rev and 1 mm, respectively. The cutting tools used were ISO P30 uncoated and TiN-TiCN-Al2O3 -ZrCN coated cemented carbides. We found the influences of cutting speed on the average flank wear. The worn parts of the cutting tools were also examined using optical microscopy and SEM. Here we concluded that cutting speed significantly affected the average flank wear. The multilayer effects superior resistance to tool wear compared to its uncoated counterpart in the entire range of cutting speeds during turning of S31700 stainless (AISI317) steel.

In this study, the slip-line field model developed for orthogonal machining with a worn cutting tool was experimentally investigated. Minimum and maximum values of five slip-line angles ( θ1, θ2, δ2, η and ψ) were calculated. The friction forces that were caused by flank wear land, chip up-curl radii and chip thicknesses were calculated by solving the model. It was specified that the friction force increased with increase in flank wear rate and uncut chip thickness and it decreased a little with increase in cutting speed and rake angle. The chip up-curl radius increased with increase in flank wear rate and it decreased with increase in uncut chip thickness. The chip thickness increased with increase in flank wear rate and uncut chip thickness. Besides, the chip thickness increased with increase in rake angle and it decreased with increase in cutting speed.

In this paper, based on finite element simulation software AdvantEdge, the effects of different coating materials and thickness on the wear of cutting tools during the machining process have been studied. For the tools with coating materials of TiAlN, Al2O3, TiN, TiC, we can calculate the wear rate according to the Usui mathematical model of tool wear, and then consider thickness factor of TiC coating. Because of the lowest thermal conductivity, the workpiece cut by TiC coated tool will soften first and more over cutting time, it result in the lowest wear rate. And with the increase of coating thickness, the effect of "thermal barrier" is more obvious for the relatively thicker coating tool, but the relative sliding velocity between the chip and tool is increasing meanwhile, so a suitable coating thickness is necessary.

The current work presents the development of cost model for tooling during high speed hard turning of AISI 4340 hardened steel using regression analysis. A set of experimental data using ceramic cutting tools, composed approximately of Al2O3 (70%) and TiC (30%) on AISI 4340 heat treated to a hardness of 60 HRC was obtained in the following design boundary: cutting speeds (175-325 m/min), feed rate (0.075-0.125 m/rev), negative rake angle (0 to -12) and depth of cut of (0.1-0.15) mm. The output data is used to develop a new model in predicting the tooling cost using in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut and rake angle. Box Behnken Design was used in developing the model. Predictive regression model was found to be capable of good predictions the tooling cost within the boundary design.

High speed machining has many advantages in reducing time to the market by increasing the material removal rate. However, final surface quality is one of the main challenges for manufacturers in high speed machining due to the increasing of flank wear rate. In high speed machining, the cutting zone is under high pressure associated with high temperature that lead to increasing of the flank wear rate in which affect the final quality of the machined surface. Therefore, one of the main concerns to the manufacturer is to predict the flank wear to estimate and predict the surface roughness as one of the main outputs of the machining processes. The aim of this study is to determine experimentally the optimum cutting parameters: depth of cut, cutting speed (Vc) and feed rate (f) that maintaining low flank wear (Vb). Taguchi method has been applied in this experiment. The Taguchi method has been universally used in engineering analysis.  JMP statistical analysis software is used to analyse statically the development of flank wear rate during high speed milling of hardened steel AISI D2 to 60 HRD. The experiment was conducted in the following boundaries: cutting speed 200-400 m/min, feed rate of 0.01-0.05 mm/tooth and depth of cut of 0.1-0.2 mm. Analysis of variance ANOVA was conducted as one of important tool for statistical analysis. The result showed that cutting speed is the most influential input factors with 70.04% contribution on flank wear.

Abstract Although Inconel 718 is an important material for modern aircraft and aerospace, it is a kind material, which is known to have low machinability. Especially, while these types of materials are machined, high cutting temperatures, BUE on cutting tool, high cutting forces and work hardening occur. Therefore, in recent years, instead of producing new cutting tools that can withstand these difficult conditions, cryogenic process, which is a heat treatment method to increase the wear resistance and hardness of the cutting tool, has been applied. In this experimental study, feed force, surface roughness, vibration, cutting tool wear, hardness and abrasive wear values that occurred as a result of milling of Inconel 718 material by means of cryogenically treated and untreated cutting tools were investigated. Three different cutting speeds (35-45-55 m/min) and three different feed rates (0.02-0.03-0.04 mm/tooth) at constant depth of cut (0.2 mm) were used as cutting parameters in the experiments. As a result of the experiments, lower feed forces, surface roughness, vibration and cutting tool wear were obtained with cryogenically treated cutting tools. As the feed rate and cutting speed were increased, it was seen that surface roughness, vibration and feed force values increased. At the end of the experiments, it was established that there was a significant relation between vibration and surface roughness. However, there appeared an inverse proportion between abrasive wear and hardness values. While BUE did not occur during cryogenically treated cutting tools, it was observed that BUE occurred in cutting tools which were not cryogenically treated.
