Surface integrity when machining age hardened Inconel 718 with coated carbide cutting tools

Considerable attention has been given to the use of ceramic cutting tools for improving productivity in the machining of heat resistant super alloys (HRSA). However, because of their negative influence on the surface integrity, ceramic tools are generally avoided particularly for finishing applications. As a result the main high end manufacturers are more or less dependent on carbide cutting tools for finishing operations. Still the improper use of carbide cutting tools can also result in poor surface integrity. The objective of this investigation is to develop a set of guidelines, which will assist the selection of the appropriate cutting tools and conditions for generating favorable compressive residual stresses. This paper specifically deals with residual stresses and surface finish components of surface integrity when machining (facing) age hardened Inconel 718 using two grades of coated carbide cutting tools specifically developed for machining HRSAs. The cutting conditions were obtained from investigations based on optimum tool performance. The effect of insert shape, cutting edge preparation, type and nose radius on both residual stresses and surface finish was studied at this optimum cutting condition. This investigation, suggested that coated carbide cutting tool inserts of round shape, chamfered cutting edge preparation, negative type and small nose radius (0.8 mm) and coolant will generate primarily compressive residual stresses.     

Feasibility study of the ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling of Inconel superalloy

The ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling of Inconel 718 superalloy is studied in this paper. The tool holder of a machining center is retrofitted so that axial resonant vibration can be provided. Experimental results show that the chip size is reduced, and the variation of torque in drilling becomes smaller. These phenomena are particularly apparent at the final stage of a drill's usable life. It is also found that there is little improvement in drilling performance when the frequency of the ultrasonic vibration is varied. On the contrary, a drill's life is greatly increased when the vibration with a smaller amplitude is applied. But too large a vibration amplitude, such as over 12 μm in this study, could lead to negative effects. For the testing conditions, the frequency of 31.8 kHz and the amplitude of 4 μm result in the best drill life and quality of the drilled hole in this study. Under this condition a drill's life is prolonged by as much as 2.7 times of that without vibration assisted drilling process. Concerning drilling efficiency, it is found that by applying ultrasonic vibration assisted drilling, lifting of the drill for chip removal as commonly employed in conventional drilling of a high aspect ratio hole is not necessary, and saving of the working time is obtained.     

An experimental study of tool wear and cutting force variation in the end milling of Inconel 718 with coated carbide inserts

Inconel 718 is a difficult-to-cut nickel-based superalloy commonly used in aerospace industry. This paper presents an experimental study of the tool wear propagation and cutting force variations in the end milling of Inconel 718 with coated carbide inserts. The experimental results showed that significant flank wear was the predominant failure mode affecting the tool life. The tool flank wear propagation in the up milling operations was more rapid than that in the down milling operations. The cutting force variation along with the tool wear propagation was also analysed. While the thermal effects could be a significant cause for the peak force variation within a single cutting pass, the tool wear propagation was believed to be responsible for the gradual increase of the mean peak force in successive cutting passes.     

Effects of different metallurgical processing on microstructures and mechanical properties of inconel alloy 783

Different metallurgical processing, including the standard heat treatment, heat treatment without β aging, addition of high amount of Cr, and long-term isothermal exposure, was conducted on superalloy Inconel 783. For these processed materials, the tensile property and hardness at room temperature and stress relaxation behavior at 650 °C were examined. The testing results showed that isothermal exposure and heat treatment without β aging slightly enhanced the yield strength of alloy 783 at room temperature as well as all metallurgical processing in this study produced an identical stress relaxation behavior at 650 °C. The microstructure variation with different processing was analyzed using optical microscope, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).     

Refrigerated cooling air cutting of difficult-to-cut materials

One approach to enhance machining performance is to apply cutting fluids during cutting process. However, the use of cutting fluids in machining process has caused some problems such as high cost, pollution, and hazards to operator's health. All the problems related to the use of cutting fluids have urged researchers to search for some alternatives to minimize or even avoid the use of cutting fluids in machining operations. Cooling gas cutting is one of these alternatives. This paper investigates the effect of cooling air cutting on tool wear, surface finish and chip shape in finish turning of Inconel 718 nickel-base super alloy and high-speed milling of AISI D2 cold work tool steel. Comparative experiments were conducted under different cooling/lubrication conditions, i.e. dry cutting, minimal quantity lubrication (MQL), cooling air, and cooling air and minimal quantity lubrication (CAMQL). For this research, composite refrigeration method was adopted to develop a new cooling gas equipment which was used to lower the temperature of compressed gas. The significant experimental results were: (i) application of cooing air and CAMQL resulted in drastic reduction in tool wear and surface roughness, and significant improvement in chip shape in finish turning of Inconel 718, (ii) in the high-speed milling of AISI D2, cooling air cutting presented longer tool life and slightly higher surface roughness than dry cutting and MQL. Therefore, it appears that cooling air cutting can provide not only environment friendliness but also great improvement in machinability of difficult-to-cut materials.

Friction welding of TiAI intermetallics and structural steel by applying Inconel 718 as interlayer

Inconel 718 with thickness ranged from 0. 1 - 1.7 mm was chosen as interlayer to promote weldability in friction welding of TiAl intermetallics and structural steel such as AIS14140, in which the welded joint presents single fin showing less welding deformation on TiAl side. The correlations between tensile strength and the interlayer thickness were analyzed and fitted to a model. It indicates an optimum interlayer thickness ranged from 0.9 - 1.1 mm where the tensile strength reaches as high as 360 MPa. Otherwise, while the interlayer thickness decreases to 0. 1 mm, brittle compounds of TiC, Al2Ti4C2 and MTC3 are formed in the welded zone so that the tensile strength decays. Thicker interlayer should be also avoided as double joints may occur at TiAl -lnconel 718 and lnconel 718 -AISI 4140, respectively, which lowers the tensile strength to some extent.
