This paper investigated the performance of ZTA cutting tool with the addition of different particle size of MgO additive. Therefore, the objective of this research is to compare the effects of machining parameters on tool wears of ZTA cutting tools added with micro and nanoparticle of MgO. The experiments were conducted using BridgePort-Romi Powerpath CNC machine using a tool holder Sandvik Coromant (CoroTurn CCLNR 164D-4) to hold the cutting tools properly. The parameters are set up as cutting speeds used between range 354 to 472 m/min, feed rate from 0.1 to 0.5 mm/rev with a constant depth of cut of 0.2 mm. Three types of wear were analyzed which are flank wear, crater wear and tool chipping. Flank wear and crater wear images captured using measuring microscope (NIKON MM-400/L) and the crater wear areas are analyzed using MatLab programming software. Tool chipping is observed via SEM (JEOL JSM-5600). The experimental result shows that flank wear and crater wear increase when cutting speed and feed rate increase. ZMN cutting tool shows lower value of flank wear at 0.143 mm and 3.741 mm2 for crater wear than ZMM, 0.321 mm and 3.808 mm2 respectively. On the contrary, cutting speed did not affect the tool chipping severely as feed rate. Moreover, ZMN also shows that the tool breakage occurred severely than ZMM due to the high load on the tool nose.

Abstract The zirconia toughened alumina enhanced with titania and chromia (ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3) ceramic cutting tool is a new cutting tool that possesses good hardness and fracture toughness. However, the performance of the ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 cutting tool continues to remain unknown and therefore requires further study. In this research, the wearing of the ZTA-TiO2-Cr2O3 cutting tool and the surface roughness of the machined surface of stainless steel 316L was investigated. The experiments were conducted where the cutting speeds range between 314 to 455 m/min, a feed rate from 0.1 to 0.15 mm/rev, and a depth of cut of 0.2 mm. A CNC lathe machine was utilised to conduct the turning operation for the experiment. Additionally, analysis of the flank wear and crater wear was undertaken using an optical microscope, while the chipping area was observed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface roughness of the machined surface was measured via portable surface roughness. The lowest value of flank wear, crater wear and surface roughness obtained are 0.044 mm, 0.45 mm2, and 0.50 µm, respectively at the highest cutting speed of 455 m/min and the highest feed rate of 0.15 mm/rev. The chipping area became smaller with the increase of feed rate from 0.10 to 0.15 mm/rev and larger when the feed rate decrease. This was due to the reduced vibrations at the higher spindle speed resulting in a more stable cutting operation, thereby reducing the value of tool wear, surface roughness, and the chipping area.

Purpose This paper aims to examine the performance of the machining parameters used in the hard-turning process of DIN 1.2738 mold steel and identify the optimum machining conditions. Design/methodology/approach Experiments were carried out via the Taguchi L18 orthogonal array. The evaluation of the experimental results was based on the signal/noise ratio. The effect levels of the control factors on the surface roughness and flank wear were specified with analysis of variance performed. Two different multiple regression analyses (linear and quadratic) were conducted for the experimental results. A higher correlation coefficient (R2) was obtained with the quadratic regression model, which showed values of 0.97 and 0.95 for Ra and Vb, respectively. Findings The experimental results indicated that generally better results were obtained with the TiAlN-coated tools, in respect to both surface roughness and flank wear. The Taguchi analysis found the optimum results for surface roughness to be with the cutting tools of coated carbide using physical vapor deposition (PVD), a cutting speed of 160 m/min and a feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev, and for flank wear, with cutting tools of coated carbide using PVD, a cutting speed of 80 m/min and a feed rate of 0.1 mm/rev. The results of calculations and confirmation tests for Ra were 0.595 and 0.570 µm, respectively, and for the Vb, 0.0244 and 0.0256 mm, respectively. Developed quadratic regression models demonstrated a very good relationship. Originality/value Optimal parameters for both Ra and Vb were obtained with the TiAlN-coated tool using PVD. Finally, confirmation tests were performed and showed that the optimization had been successfully implemented.

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.

Ti-6Al-4V components are the most widely used titanium alloy products not only in the aerospace industry, but also for bio-medical applications. The machine-ability of titanium alloys is impaired by their high temperature chemical reactivity, low thermal conductivity and low modulus of elasticity. Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride represents a substitute tool material for turning titanium alloys due to its high hardness, wear resistance, thermal stability and hot red hardness. For determination of suitable cutting parameters in dry turning Ti-6AL-4V alloy by Polycrystalline cubic boron nitride cutting tools, the samples, 300mm in length and 100mm in diameter, were dry machined in a lathe. The turning suitable parameters, such as cutting speed, feed rate and cut depth were determined according to workpieces surface roughness and tools flank wear based on orthogonal experimental design. The experiment showed that the cutting speed in the range of 160~180 m/min, the feed rate is 0.15 mm/rev and the depth of cut is 0.20mm, ideal workpiece surface roughness and little cutting tools flank wear can be obtained.

In this work, the analysis of the cutting speed and feed rate influence on tool wear and cutting forces in Ti6Al4V alloy dry machining is presented. The study has been focused on the machining in a transient state. The tool wear mechanisms, tool wear intensity and cutting forces evolution have been analyzed as a function of the cutting parameters. Experimental results show that the main cutting force amplitude exhibits a general trend to increase with both cutting parameters. Crater wear was more evident at high cutting speeds, whereas flank wear was present on the whole interval of the cutting parameters analyzed. Furthermore, the cutting speed shows a slightly higher influence on crater wear and the feed rate shows a higher influence on flank wear. Finally, several experimental parametric models have been obtained. These models allow predicting the evolution of crater and flank tool wear, as well as the cutting forces, as a function of the cutting parameters. Additionally, a model that allows monitoring the tool wear on the machining transient state as a function of the main cutting force amplitude has been developed.

Nickel-based superalloys such as Inconel 718 are known as one of the most difficult-to-cut materials due to their mechanical and chemical properties and the tool life is extremely short. Recently, Cubic-Boron-Nitride (CBN) has received a considerable attention as a material for cutting tools and has been considered to be a major candidate for high performance cutting of Inconel 718. However, the detailed wear behavior of CBN tools in cutting of Inconel 718 is not sufficiently understood yet, and the performances of CBN tools are still insufficient in practical use. To overcome this problem, we first conducted orthogonal cutting experiments on Inconel 718 at low (20 m/min) and high (100 m/min) cutting speeds employing CBN cutting tools to clarify the detailed wear mechanisms. Moreover, relationship between surface microstructures of the cutting tool and wear resistance was investigated. As a result, it was found that a rake face with micro grooves significantly suppressed the crater wear at low cutting speed, although polished surface rake face reduced the initial crater wear by approximately 40 % compared to the non-polished tool in high speed cutting of Inconel 718.

Polyetheretherketones (PEEK) has been widely used as biomaterial for trauma, orthopaedic and spinal implants. Component made from Polyetheretherketones generally required additional machining process for finishing which can be a problem especially to attain a good surface roughness and dimensional precision. This research attempts to optimize the machining and processing parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) for effectively machining Polyetheretherketones (PEEK) implant material using carbide cutting tools. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) technique was used to assess the effects of the parameters and their relations towards the surface roughness values. Based on the analysis results, the optimal machining parameters for the minimum surface roughness values were by using cutting speed of 5754 rpm, feed rate of 0.026 mm/tooth and 5.11 mm depth of cut (DOC).

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.
