Currently biomimetic tribology study shows that high performance surface texture can achieve good friction, anti-adhesion and improve the wear resistance, which brings a new research direction for tool antifriction technology. The orthogonal cutting tests of surface micro-groove cutting tool in machining titanium alloy were presented. Different types of micro-grooves were made using laser in the rake face of uncoated tungsten carbide cutting inserts. Dry with no lubricant and minimal quantity lubricant (MQL) were used as lubrication conditions. Cutting force and cutting temperature were measured and compared. It was found that under MQL condition the surface micro-grooves could effectively improve the friction status between the tool and chip, thereby reducing cutting force and cutting temperature, and also reduce cutting temperature under no lubricant condition. The micro-grooves paralleling with cutting edge had the best effect in three types of micro-grooves.

The cutting tool heats up during the cutting of high-performance super alloys and it negatively affects the life of the cutting tool. Improved tool life can enhance both the machinability and sustainability of the cutting process. To improve the tool life preferably cutting fluids are utilized. However, the majority of cutting fluids are non-biodegradable in nature and pose harmful threats to the environment. It has been established in the metal cutting literature that introducing microgrooves at the cutting tool rake face can significantly reduce the coefficient of friction (COF). Reduction in the COF promotes anti-adhesive behavior that improves the tool life. The current study numerically investigates the orthogonal cutting process of AISI 630 Stainless Steel using different micro grooved cutting tools. Results of the numerical simulations point to the positive influence of micro grooves on tool life. The results of the main effects found that the cutting temperature was decreased by approximately 10% and 7% with rectangular and triangular micro grooved tools, respectively. Over machining performance indicated that rectangular micro groove tools provided comparatively better performance.

Tool edge preparation can improve the tool life, as well as cutting performance and machined surface quality, meeting the requirements of high-speed and high-efficiency cutting. In general, prepared tool edges could be divided into symmetric or asymmetric edges. In the present study, the cemented carbide tools were initially edge prepared through drag finishing. The simulation model of the carbide cemented tool milling steel was established through Deform software. Effects of edge form factor, spindle speed, feed per tooth, axial, and radial cutting depth on the cutting force, the tool wear, the cutting temperature, and the surface quality were investigated through the orthogonal cutting simulation. The simulated cutting force results were compared to the results obtained from the orthogonal milling experiment through the dynamometer Kistler, which verified the simulation model correctness. The obtained results provided a basis for edge preparation effect along with high-speed and high effective cutting machining comprehension.

Abstract Al2O3 nano-scaled coating was prepared on micro-textured YT5 cemented carbide cutting tools by atomic layer deposition ALD. The effect of Al2O3 nano-scaled coating, with and without combined action of texture, on the cutting performance was studied by orthogonal cutting test. The results were compared with micro-textured cutting tool and YT5 cutting tool. They show that the micro-texture and nano-scaled Al2O3 coated on the micro-texture both can reduce the cutting force and friction coefficient of the tool, and the tools with nano-scaled Al2O3 coated on the micro-texture are more efficient. Furthermore, the friction coefficient of the 100 nm Al2O3-coated micro-texture tool is relatively low. When the distance of the micro-pits is 0.15 mm, the friction coefficient is lowest among the four kinds of pit textured nanometer coating tools. The friction coefficient is the lowest when the direction of the groove in strip textured nanometer coating tool is perpendicular to the main cutting edge. The main mechanism of the nanometer Al2O3 on the micro-textured tool to reduction in cutting force and the friction coefficient is discussed. These results show that the developed tools effectively decrease the cutting force and friction coefficient of tool–chip interface.

Materials often behave in a complicated manner involving deeply coupled effects among stress/stain, temperature, and microstructure during a machining process. This paper is concerned with prediction of the phase change effect on orthogonal cutting of American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) 1045 steel based on a true metallo-thermomechanical coupled analysis. A metallo-thermomechanical coupled material model is developed and a finite element model (FEM) is used to solve the evolution of phase constituents, cutting temperature, chip morphology, and cutting force simultaneously using abaqus. The model validity is assessed using the experimental data for orthogonal cutting of AISI 1045 steel under various conditions, with cutting speeds ranging from 198 to 879 m/min, feeds from 0.1 to 0.3 mm, and tool rake angles from −7 deg to 5 deg. A good agreement is achieved in chip formation, cutting force, and cutting temperature between the model predictions and the experimental data.

In this paper, the evolutions of cutting force, cutting temperature, and surface roughness, and the corresponding machinability in asymmetric up-milling of TC25 alloy are investigated. The results indicated that radial depth of cut generated opposite influence on the cutting force/cutting temperature versus surface roughness. The reason can be accounted as the intertwining of feed marks at low radial depth of cut, and the mechanism of hard cutting at a high radial depth of cut. Moreover, the asymmetry has a significant effect on the machinability in asymmetry up-milling TC25 alloy. Changing the asymmetry, i.e., the radial depth of cut, can alter the machinability while maintain the balanced development of various indexes. The machinability reaches the best when the radial depth of cut is ae = 8 mm. The axial depth of cut and feed per tooth should be selected as large as possible to avoid work hardening and to improve machining efficiency in asymmetric up-milling TC25 alloy. The cutting speed should be controlled within Vc = 100–120 m/min to obtain better machinability. On the basis of this research, it is expected to find optimized milling parameters to realize high efficiency milling of TC25 alloy.

Abstract Coupled with a thermo-mechanical metal cutting process, rapid tool wear, higher surface roughness and mass heat are caused by the rapid plastic deformation of the workpiece and by the friction along the tool-chip interface. This phenomenon is more predominant in the machining of difficult-to-cut materials. DLC film has been applied as coating material in the machining of difficult-to-cut materials, and shows a good cutting performance. In this study, Cr/W-DLC/DLC coated tools were compared with other three coated tools (i.e., TiC-, TiAlN-, Al 2 O 3 -) to investigate the cutting performance in the machining of Al-Si alloy (AC9B). In addition, the influence of Cr/W-DLC/DLC coated tools on the cutting performance under different cutting speeds was studied. Cutting force, cutting temperature, heat transfer coefficient of the rake face of the tool, cutting deformation rate, plastic deformation of machined surface, the interface temperature and stress were investigated numerically based on Finite Element Method (FEM). Actual cutting experiments were carried out to the verification of the FEM models by means of the cutting force and cutting temperature measurement. The investigation results showed that Cr/W-DLC/DLC coated tools has the lowest cutting force and cutting temperature, good cutting deformation characteristics and lower coating-substrate interface temperature and stress, however appears the maximum value of heat partition coefficient into the cutting tool. With the increasing of cutting speeds, cutting force and cutting temperature showed an increase trend, while the plastic deformation depth of machined surface and heat partition into cutting tool all showed a decrease trend. This investigation can provide the theory basis or technical guidance for the cutting practice of Cr/W-DLC/DLC coated tools.

This study details the machinability of CFRP materials with fiber orientation set Quasi-isotropic in the orientation of (0°, 45°, 90°, -45°), plain weave type in the orientation of (0°, 45°) and at random in using High-Speed Steel (HSS), Nitride HSS, Tungsten-Carbide, TiAlN-coated tungsten carbide and Poly-Crystalline Diamond (PCD). The influences of cutting distance, cutting force, cutting temperature and tool wear on the surface characteristics of the CFRP materials are also examined. The results of our experiments reveal that the cutting force and cutting temperature increases when cutting randomly-orientedmaterials irrespective of the type of cutting tool used. The increment of the cutting force obtained was about 5% compared to cutting plain weave type oriented materials. In addition, the cutting temperature of the central portion was 20°C higher than the surface temperature. The tool wear of straight-edge type PCD tools was about 0.1 mm at 30 m cutting distance, whereas, at sharp edge, and lead angle of 30°, the tool wear reached 0.1 mm at 9 m cutting distance. Additionally, the straight-edge type cutting tool showed better results with respect to adhesion of coated materials.

This paper investigates numerical and experimental study of end milling of titanium alloy Ti–6% Al–4% V using carbide insert based cutting tool. The experiments were carried out under dry cutting conditions. The cutting speeds selected for the experiments are 20,30,40,50 mmin–1. The feed rates used in the experiment were 0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08 mmrev–1, while depth of cut is kept constant at 1.0 mm. For conducting the experiments single insert based cutting tool is based. For a range of cutting speeds and feeds measurements of cutting force, surface roughness and cutting temperature have been recorded. From the experimental study it can be seen that cutting speed has the significant effect on temperature when compared to feed/tooth. Further it is also found that cutting speed of 30 m min−1 and feed rate of 0.02 mm rev−1 could be used for machining Ti alloy. Moreover the experimental and numerical cutting force values are compared.
