涂层刀具磨损对工件表面质量的非线性影响关系

在高速硬态切削过程中,涂层刀具高速切削失效形态分为非正常磨损（破损）与正常磨损两种。刀具非正常磨损失效发生在低速切削时,而高速切削过程中的刀具失效形式倾向于后刀面磨损、边界磨损和切削刃斜面磨损等多种一常磨损彤式的组合。本文通过涂层刀具高速车削45#钢的试验,研究了刀具磨损对工件表面质量的影响。试验表明：提高切削速度,工件已加工表面质量并未随刀具磨损情况加剧而呈线性下降,刀具磨损对已加工表面质量负面影响作用的减轻,使表面质量在一定程度上得到了改善。

Experimental investigations on machinability aspects in finish hard turning of AISI 4340 steel using uncoated and multilayer coated carbide inserts

The present work deals with some machinability studies on flank wear, surface roughness, chip morphology and cutting forces in finish hard turning of AISI 4340 steel using uncoated and multilayer TiN and ZrCN coated carbide inserts at higher cutting speed range. The process has also been justified economically for its effective application in hard turning. Experimental results revealed that multilayer TiN/TiCN/Al₂O₃/TiN coated insert performed better than uncoated and TiN/TiCN/Al₂O₃/ZrCN coated carbide insert being steady growth of flank wear and surface roughness. The tool life for TiN and ZrCN coated carbide inserts was found to be approximately 19 min and 8 min at the extreme cutting conditions tested. Uncoated carbide insert used to cut hardened steel fractured prematurely. Abrasion, chipping and catastrophic failure are the principal wear mechanisms observed during machining. The turning forces (cutting force, thrust force and feed force) are observed to be lower using multilayer coated carbide insert in hard turning compared to uncoated carbide insert. From 1st and 2nd order regression model, 2nd order model explains about 98.3% and 86.3% of the variability of responses (flank wear and surface roughness) in predicting new observations compared to 1st order model and indicates the better fitting of the model with the data for multilayer TiN coated carbide insert. For ZrCN coated carbide insert, 2nd order flank wear model fits well compared to surface roughness model as observed from ANOVA study. The savings in machining costs using multilayer TiN coated insert is 93.4% compared to uncoated carbide and 40% to ZrCN coated carbide inserts respectively in hard machining taking flank wear criteria of 0.3 mm. This shows the economical feasibility of utilizing multilayer TiN coated carbide insert in finish hard turning.     

Performance evaluation of PVD TIALN coated carbide tools vis-à-vis uncoated carbide tool in turning of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) by simultaneous minimization of cutting energy,dimensional deviation and tool wear

Titanium alloys are difficult-to-machine materials because of their poor machinability characteristics. Machining and machining performance evaluation for such materials is still a challenge. Individual machining performance indices like cutting forces, cutting energy and tool wear lead to ambiguous understanding. In this work, a Cumulative Performance Index (CPI) is defined which amalgamates non-dimensional forms of specific cutting energy, back force and average principal flank wear in turning. The CPI focuses upon simultaneous minimization of specific cutting energy, dimensional deviation and average principal flank wear. The defined index is then used to evaluate performance of five commercially available physical vapor deposited (PVD) TiAlN coated tungsten carbide/cobalt inserts vis-à-vis uncoated tungsten carbide/cobalt insert in turning of Ti-6Al-4V. Cutting forces were monitored during turning and tool wear was measured after turning experiments. The results showed that the performance of coated inserts was either comparable or poor than uncoated insert; and in no case, coated inserts performed better than uncoated insert. Although commercial recommendations are in place to use PVD coated inserts for enhanced machinability of titanium alloys, the use of coated inserts is not justified keeping in view the energy spent in coating and insignificant improvement in performance.

Failure mechanisms of a PCD tool in high-speed face milling of Ti–6Al–4V alloy

High-speed milling tests were carried out on Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy with a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tool. Tool wear morphologies were observed and examined with a digital microscope. The main tool failure mechanisms were discussed and analyzed utilizing scanning electron microscope, and the element distribution of the failed tool surface was detected using energy dispersive spectroscopy. Results showed that tool flank wear rate increased with the increase in cutting speed. The PCD tool is suitable for machining of Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy with a cutting speed around 250 m/min. The PCD tool exhibited relatively serious chipping and spalling at cutting speed higher than 375 m/min, within further increasing of the cutting speed the flank wear and breakage increased greatly as a result of the enhanced thermal–mechanical impacts. In addition, the PCD tool could hardly work at cutting speed of 1,000 m/min due to the catastrophic fracture of the cutting edge and intense flank wear. There was evidence of workpiece material adhesion on the tool rake face and flank face in very close proximity to the cutting edge rather than on the chipped or flaked surface, which thereby leads to the accelerating flank wear. The failure mechanisms of PCD tool in high-speed wet milling of Ti–6Al–4V titanium alloy were mainly premature breakage and synergistic interaction among adhesive wear and abrasive wear.     

Performance studies of multilayer hard surface coatings (TiN/TiCN/Al2O3/TiN) of indexable carbide inserts in hard machining: Part-I (An experimental approach)

In recent years, hard machining using CBN and ceramic inserts became an emerging technology than traditional grinding and widely used manufacturing processes. However the relatively high cost factors associated with such tools has left a space to look for relatively low cost cutting tool materials to perform in an acceptable range. Multilayer coated carbide insert is the proposed alternative in the present study due to its low cost. Thus, an attempt has been made to have an extensive study on the machinability aspects such as flank wear, chip morphology, surface roughness in finish hard turning of AISI 4340 steel (HRC 47 ± 1) using multilayer coated carbide (TiN/TiCN/Al₂O₃/TiN) insert under dry environment. Parametric influences on turning forces are also analyzed. From the machinability study, abrasion and chipping are found to be the dominant wear mechanism in hard turning. Multilayer TiN coated carbide inserts produced better surface quality and within recommendable range of 1.6 μm i.e. comparable with cylindrical grinding. At extreme parametric conditions, the growth of tool wear was observed to be rapid thus surface quality affected adversely. The chip morphology study reveals a more favorable machining environment in dry machining using TiN coated carbide inserts. The cutting speed and feed are found to have the significant effect on the tool wear and surface roughness from ANOVA study. It is evident that, thrust force (Fy) is the largest component followed by tangential force (Fz) and the feed force (Fx) in finish hard turning. The observations yield the machining ability of multilayer TiN coated carbide inserts in hard turning of AISI 4340 steel even at higher cutting speeds.     

Use of Ceramic Tools in Hard Turning of Hardened AISI M2 Steel

Tool wear and machining performance of hardened AISI M2 steel in hard turning has been studied. Ceramic tools were used in the cutting tests without coolants, and the workpiece was heat treated to increase its hardness up to Re 60. Cutting forces, temperature, and tool wear were measured in the experiments and the effects of cutting conditions on these were investigated. Important aspects from the research are summarized as follows: 1. Flank wear was the dominant wear mode on the ceramic tool insert in hard turning. In contrast, crater wear was very small due to the ceramics high resistance against chemical reactions at high temperature. A notch was unlikely to be formed in the tool.

2. The initial flank wear rate mainly depends on the feed rate. High feed rates cause a high initial flank wear rate.

3. Depth of cut was the most important cutting parameter to affect cutting force variation, and the cutting force increased due to tool wear.

     

A comparative study on performance of multilayer coated and uncoated carbide inserts when turning AISI D2 steel under dry environment

The present work deals with a comparative study on flank wear, surface roughness, tool life, volume of chip removal and economical feasibility in turning high carbon high chromium AISI D2 steel with multilayer MTCVD coated [TiN/TiCN/Al₂O₃/TiN] and uncoated carbide inserts under dry cutting environment. Higher micro hardness of TiN coated carbide samples (1880 HV) compared to uncoated carbide (1430 HV) is observed and depicts better resistance against abrasion. The low erosion rate was observed in TiN coated insert compared to uncoated carbide. The tool life of TiN coated insert is found to be approximately 30 times higher than the uncoated carbide insert under similar cutting conditions and produced lower surface roughness compared to uncoated carbide insert. The dominant wear mechanism was found to be abrasion and progression of wear was steady using multilayer TiN coated carbide insert. The developed regression model shows high determination coefficient i.e. R² = 0.977 for flank wear and 0.94 for surface roughness and accurately explains the relationship between the responses and the independent variable. The machining cost per part for uncoated carbide insert is found to be 10.5 times higher than the multilayer TiN coated carbide inserts. This indicates 90.5% cost savings using multilayer TiN coated inserts by the adoption of a cutting speed of 200 m/min coupled with a tool feed rate of 0.21 mm/rev and depth of cut of 0.4 mm. Thus, TiN coated carbide tools are capable of reducing machining costs and performs better than uncoated carbide inserts in machining D2 steel.     

涂层刀具前后刀面摩擦下界面应力分析

基于任意拉格朗日欧拉方法(ALE)建立金属正交切削加工的热力耦合的有限元模型,获得不同速度下切削稳定时涂层刀具前后刀面的接触应力、剪应力以及温度场。通过对涂层刀具施加已获得的刀具表面的应力场和温度场,分析了不同速度下摩擦分界点变化的规律以及对涂层基体界面应力的影响。结果表明,随着速度的增大,摩擦分界点逐渐有向前刀面移动的趋势,表明磨损的方式开始从后刀面磨损向前刀面月牙湾磨损转变,这与切削试验结果一致。同时随着速度的增大,涂层界面应力突变更加显著,表明高速条件下涂层更容易破坏,且速度越高,前刀面涂层破坏的几率越大。     

Effect of coating layer loss on the wear rate change of coated carbide tools in turning process

This paper reports an experimental study of flank wear on TiN- and TiAlN-coated carbide tools in the turning of AISI 1045, AISI 4135, ductile cast iron, and Inconel 718, and it was conducted with the purpose of showing the relationship between the change in wear rate and the loss of coating layer on the cutting edge. It was found that the relation between cutting distance and flank wear in log-log scale clearly shows the change in wear rate, thus providing a straightforward way to determine the relation between worn out coating layer and increase in wear rate. This relation was confirmed by analyzing the presence of coating layer before and after the inflection point appears by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) photographs. It was observed that the coating layer on the flank face is worn away and finally is worn out. However, even if the layer on the flank face is worn out, tool wear is suppressed as long as the coating layer on the cutting edge exists. On the other hand, when the coating layer on the cutting edge is worn out, the wear resistance of the tool depends on the substrate; thus, the wear rate increases. According to the results, as the cutting speed increases, the change in wear rate appears in a shorter cutting distance, making flank wear to be high. High pressure and high temperature act on the rake face; thus, thermal stability of the coating layer in the cutting edge is important. A low cutting speed decreases cutting efficiency, but a high cutting speed causes flank wear to be high; therefore, in order to optimize machining cost, an acceptable cutting speed, from the standpoint of tool wear, should be selected.
