During gray cast iron cutting, the great rate of mechanical energy from cutting forces is converted into heat. Considerable heat is generated, principally in three areas: the shear zone, rake face and at the clearance side of the cutting edge. Excessive heat will cause undesirable high temperature in the tool which leads to softening of the tool and its accelerated wear and breakage. Nowadays the advanced ceramics are widely used in cutting tools. In this paper a composition special of Si3N4 was sintering, characterized, cut and ground to make SNGN120408 and applyed in machining gray cast iron with hardness equal 205 HB in dry cutting conditions by using digital controlled computer lathe. The tool performance was analysed in function of cutting forces, flank wear, temperature and roughness. Therefore metal removing process is carried out for three different cutting speeds (300 m/min, 600 m/min, and 800 m/min), while a cutting depth of 1 mm and a feed rate of 0.33 mm/rev are kept constant. As a result of the experiments, the lowest main cutting force, which depends on cutting speed, is obtained as 264 N at 600 m/min while the highest main cutting force is recorded as 294 N at 300 m/min.

The impact of selected cutting parameters (cutting speed and cutting feed) on the torque and cutting force during drilling gray cast iron EN-GJL-250 was analyzed. The drilling operation was carried out by Allied Machnie drill series: DEM22000S-20FM, on the Hermle B300 vertical milling center. The measurement of the torque and the cutting forces during drilling was carried out by Kistler device.

Silicon nitride cutting tools have been used successfully for machining hard materials, like: cast irons, nickel based alloys, etc. However these cutting tools with diamond coating present little information on dry turning operations of gray cast iron. In the present work, Si3N4 square inserts was developed, characterized and subsequently coated with diamond for dry machining operations on gray cast iron. All experiments were conducted with replica. It was used a 1500, 3000, 4500 m cutting length, feed rate of 0.33 mm/rev and keeping the depth of cut constant and equal to 1 mm. The results show that wear in the tool tips of the Si3N4 inserts, in all cutting conditions, was caused by both mechanical and chemical processes. To understand the tool wear mechanisms, a morphological analysis of the inserts, after experiments, has been performed by SEM and optical microscopy. Diamond coated PVD inserts showed to be capable to reach large cutting lengths when machining gray cast iron.

The α-SiAlON ceramic cutting tool insert is developed. Silicon nitride and additives powders are pressed and sintered in the form of cutting tool inserts at temperature of 1900 oC. The physics and mechanical properties of the inserts like green density, weight loss, relative density, hardness and fracture toughness are evaluated. Machining studies are conducted on grey cast iron workpiece to evaluate the performance of α-SiAlON ceramic cutting tool. In the paper the cutting tool used in higher speed showed an improvement in the tribological interaction between the cutting tools and the grey cast iron workpiece resulted in a significant reduction of flank wear and roughness, because of better accommodation and the presence of the graphite in gray cast iron. The above results are discussed in terms of their affect at machining parameters on gray cast iron.

Two gray cast irons with equal tensile strength were prepared to investigate the influence of alloying on the machinability of gray iron. After 75SiFe modifying treatment, they were alloyed by the mixture additive containing RE, Cr, Mn, Si and Fe with a certain proportion and pure copper, respectively. The hardness, section sensitivity, structuralhomogenity and machinability were tested in this experiment. The results show that both of the gray irons have the same brinell hardness and the micro-hardness. The section sensitivity of the gray iron alloyed by the mixture additive is smaller than the gray iron alloyed by copper. The main cutting force of the cast iron alloyed by the mixture additive is lower than that of the cast iron alloyed by copper, therefore, the gray cast iron alloyed by the mixture additive has a better machinability than the cast iron alloyed by copper.

Under dry cutting conditions, multi-factor orthogonal experiment test method is adopted to carry out experiment of milling gray cast iron HT200 using PCBN indexable face milling tool. Milling force empirical formula model is established by means of least-square method and regression analysis. Significance test of regression equation and regression coefficient prove that the reliability of the established model is high. Test results show among three milling forces, the biggest one is tangential force Fz, the smallest one is radial force Fy, whereas value of axial force Fx is between Fz and Fy. Through analyzing experiment results, relationship of milling parameters influence on milling force is summarized. Recommendation of milling parameter value range is put forward.template explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready paper for Trans Tech Publications. The best is to read these instructions and follow the outline of this text.

In this research, we had studied the sensitivity for machining of cobalt-based superalloy Haynes 188 with ceramic cutting tool. The investigation had focused on the effects of the cutting speed, on the cutting forces, and on the surface roughness based on Taguchi’s experimental design. The effects of machining parameters were determined using Taguchi’s L27 orthogonal array. The signal-to-noise ratio was calculated for the average of surface roughness and the cutting forces, and the smaller were used to determine the optimal cutting conditions. The analysis of variance and the signal-to-noise ratio had effects on the parameters on both surface roughness and cutting. Three different types of cutting tools had been used in the experiment, namely KYON 4300, KYS 25, and KYS 30. The cutting force of Fz was considered to be the main cutting force. Depending on the material which had been used as cutting tool, the Fz had the lowest cutting speed and the lowest surface roughness with the KYS25 ceramic tool. The cutting force and the surface roughness of KYON 4300 cutting tool had shown better performance than other cutting tools. The flank wear and notch were found to be more effective in the experiments. The long chips were removed at low and medium cutting speeds, while the sawdust with one edge and narrow pitch at high cutting speeds was obtained.

This paper focuses on the influence of difference of tool materials on generation of wear protective layer when turning gray cast iron containing Al and Mg. In this experiment, the gray cast iron to which small quantities of Al and Mg was added were cut with cermet, P grade carbide (P10), silicon nitride ceramics (Si3N4), titanium nitride (TiN) coated carbide and K grade carbide (K10) at high speed. In turning gray cast iron containing Al and Mg with cermet, the tool wear was significantly reduced compared to that resulting from the cutting of conventional gray cast iron. Further, the protective layer consisting of nonmetallic inclusions in the work material was formed on the tool surface. In addition to cermet, this layer was formed on tool surface of Si3N4 and TiN coated carbide. The elements of Al and Mg added to the work materials were detected in the layers formed on these tool surfaces as well as cermet. The inhibiting effect on tool wear was also caused when turning with P10. However, P10 had much greater wear than cermet. On the other hand, in the case of turning with K10, the effect reducing wear with the addition of Al and Mg was not caused. The wear increased as cutting speed increased regardless of work materials.
