Cutting tool is one of the most important instruments in production. It is used for machining of different components on machine tools. A material is cut into a chip to incur the desired work piece surface currently used in engineering various cutting tools. The directions of development of structures of metal cutting tools are: higher precision of dimensional and geometrical parameters, the use of new tool materials, cost, and quick. The cutting tools are not only affected by the design of machine, technology of manufacturing of products, but also impact the constructive forms of machine parts. The emergence of mechanical spine, thanks to the pull method. Spine broach can provide high-performance processing spine bore with the required accuracy. The development of heavy machine tools required the creation of new designs of large instruments. The use of mechanical automatic lines also required design tools with high dimensional stability capable of handling the items within the specified tolerance for a certain time. Instruments were developed in the process of renewing the cutting edge of the cutting tools with automatic adjustment; setting up tools on the size of the machine is a device for automatic replacement of worn tool in the process line of the Computer-Aided Manufacturing CAM of the cutting tool special requirements. Equipment must operate with high level efficiency, so to reduce the loss of time resetting of the need to minimal. A cutting tool requires knowledge of the theoretical foundations of design and calculation tools using CAD.

The manufacturing industry contributes over 19% to the world’s greenhouse gas emissions [1, 3] and 31% of the total energy consumed annually in the United States of America [2, 3]. There is therefore an increasing demand for sustainable solutions for the production technology industry. At the Technische Universitaet (TU) Berlin, Germany, a collaborative research center (CRC) is focusing on new solutions for the sustainable machining of high performance alloys, with developments from machine tools frames to cutting tool technology being undertaken. An innovative machine tool concept with a modular frame, which allows a high level of flexibility, has been developed. Furthermore, add-on upgrading systems for older machine tools, which are particularly relevant for developing countries, have been developed. These systems allow the accuracy of outdated machine tools to be increased, thus making the machine tools comparable to modern systems. Finally the cutting process also requires solutions for dry machining, as the use of cooling lubricant is environmentally damaging and a significant cost contributor in machining processes. Two solutions are being developed at the TU Berlin: an internally cooled cutting tool and a heating concept for ceramic tools to allow dry machining of high temperature alloys, for example for the aerospace industry.

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.

In the practice of processing of metals by cutting it is necessary to overcome the vibration of the cutting tool, the processed detail and units of the machine tool. These vibrations in many cases are an obstacle to increase the productivity and quality of treatment of details on metal-cutting machine tools. Vibration at cutting of metals is a very diverse phenomenon due to both it’s nature and the form of oscillatory motion. The most general classification of vibrations at cutting is a division them into forced vibration and autovibrations. The most difficult to remove and poorly investigated are the autovibrations, i.e. vibrations arising at the absence of external periodic forces. The autovibrations, stipulated by the process of cutting on metalcutting machine are of two types: the low-frequency autovibrations and high-frequency autovibrations. When the low-frequency autovibration there appear, the cutting process ought to be terminated and the cause of the vibrations eliminated. Otherwise, there is a danger of a break of both machine and tool. In the case of high-frequency vibration the machine operates apparently quiently, but the processed surface feature small-sized roughness. The frequency of autovibrations can reach 5000 Hz and more.

Modern trends in metal cutting, high speed/feed machining, dry cutting and hard cutting set more demanding characteristics for cutting tool materials. The exposed parts of the cutting edges must be protected against the severe loading conditions and wear. The most significant coatings methods for cutting tools are PVD and CVD/MTCVD today. The choice of the right substrate or the right protective coating in the specific machining operation can have serious impact on machining productivity and economy. In many cases the deposition of the cutting tool with a hard coating increases considerably its cutting performance and tool life. The coating protects the tool against abrasion, adhesion, diffusion, formation of comb cracks and other wear phenomena.

The transient thermal stresses in an insulated quarter-plane, subject to an instantaneous heat source on a segment of the surface, are determined with the aid of the Green's function for a two-dimensional infinite space. Numerical results for the transient thermal stresses at the surfaces of the quarter-plane are superimposed on previous isothermal results for cutting-load stresses in a π/2 wedge, to provide a model for a metal-cutting tool in the transient stages of a cutting process. The results are related to the problem of the thermal-cracking of cutting tools, and mechanisms of crack nucleation and propagation are proposed for both ceramic and cemented-carbide tools.

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.

The wear of TiCN coating carbide cutting tools (Sandvik® Grade 1010 and 4220) in different hard-milling machining conditions was monitored, analyzed, and discussed for AISI H13 steel. This material is commonly used in the forge industry in order to optimize the manufacturing process according to a qualimetry/cost compromise criterion. AISI H13 steel generally is used in modern production for high wear-resistant dies and molds. One of the most basic and primary geometric shapes in the manufacture of molds and die cavities is the geometry known as "inclined plane." Experimental investigations were carried out on a "mold model" design with the aim of analyzing and optimizing the principal manufacturing conditions. The tests are dependent on manufacturing factors, particularly their impactin a complex tribological process. Five clearly defined different surfaces of the hardened AISI H13 steel model mold, with appropriate geometries were studied; i) vertical downward; ii) curved downward; iii) horizontal; iv) curved upward; and v) vertical upward.The analysis of cutting tool wear during this process was based on computerized measurements of visually observable wear and power consumption. Morphological investigations of the surface topography for the cutting tool, as well as of the work-piece surfaces, were systematically carried out. Moreover, the interactions with simultaneously measured energy consumption during the process are also explicated in the present study and therefore tentative methods to optimize hard-milling machining are offered.

The purpose of the work – development of recommendations on correct choice support of hard-alloy plate quality according to the conditions specified of plates operation. In the work there is formed a new approach to the analysis of hard-alloy plates of a metal-cutting tool which develops an approach existing in the RSSs and conditions a necessity to develop a metrological support of plate quality for the conditions of specified working conditions. The approach is based on the simultaneous account of some plate parameters by means of the introduction of conditional quality grades. The investigation results: - the impact of the value spread of mass and dimensions of plates upon plate quality is defined, - the criteria of their division into grades depending on a spread value are defined. Conclusions: the results of plate classification according to the parameters: “plate weight”, “plate length”, Plate width” and “plate thickness differ considerably; plate weight effects most the output parameters of part work-piece machining process, plate thickness impact is the smallest; home plate quality is not so acceptable for the billet high-performance machining of precision parts; the adaptation of acting RSSs to plates taking into account the requirements for modern NC machines; under current conditions a technologist of an engineering enterprise-consumer of plates is unable to order meaningfully their essential number because of the domination of low-quality plates.

In machining operation, cutting tool performs a central role towards the overall machining performance. A user from metal cutting community always look for better cutting tools that can enhance productivity by reducing tool wear and cost. Modification in the micro-geometry of cutting edge is termed as edge preparation, and it is performed to improve the machining performance by strengthening the cutting edge, reducing internal stresses of coating and lowering the edge chipping etc. Edge preparation has a controlling influence on the formation of deformation zones, cutting temperature, cutting forces and stresses at the cutting interface. Vibration assisted machining (VAM) concept is gaining fame in the metal cutting sector community for machining difficult-to-machine materials. In VAM, cutting tool moves with a small amplitude vibration instead of moving with a constant cutting velocity. This small amplitude vibrational movement provides better machining performance for difficult-to-cut brittle materials. The current numerical study utilized different edge prepared micro-geometries such as sharp edge, round edge and chamfer edge etc. cutting tools, and then these cutting tools were used in the numerical simulations of VAM. The study shows higher magnitude of cutting forces under VAM with tools with modified geometry. The study is beneficial for the metal cutting community and opens new areas of industrial applications.
