Friction and wear behaviors of MoS2/Zr coated HSS in sliding wear and in drilling processes

MoS2 metal composite coatings have been successful used in dry turning, but its suitability for dry drilling has not been yet established. Therefore, it is necessary to study the friction and wear behaviors of MoS2/Zr coated HSS in sliding wear and in drilling processes. In the present study, MoS2/Zr composite coatings are deposited on the surface of W6Mo5Cr4V2 high speed steel(HSS). Microstructural and fundamental properties of these coatings are examined. Ball-on-disc sliding wear tests on the coated discs are carried out, and the drilling performance of the coated drills is tested. Test results show that the MoS2/Zr composite coatings exhibit decreases friction coefficient to that of the uncoated HSS in sliding wear tests. Energy dispersive X-ray(EDX) analysis on the wear surface indicates that there is a transfer layer formed on the counterpart ball during sliding wear processes, which contributes to the decreasing of the friction coefficient between the sliding couple. Drilling tests indicate that the MoS2/Zr coated drills show better cutting performance compared to the uncoated HSS drills, coating delamination and abrasive are found to be the main flank and rake wear mode of the coated drills. The proposed research founds the base of the application of MoS2 metal composite coatings on dry drilling.     

TiAlN涂层硬质合金刀具铣削35CrMoSiV钢的切削性能研究

采用有和无PVD TiAlN涂层的细晶硬质合金铣刀对35CrMoSiV合金钢进行了干式端面铣削试验。分别测量了有、无涂层情况下铣刀后刀面径向磨损量和加工槽的表面粗糙度,通过光学显微镜观察了切屑,利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)和电子能谱(EDX)分析了后刀面的磨损形态。研究结果表明:TiAlN涂层明显提高了硬质合金刀具的切削性能;硬质合金刀具后刀面磨损机制主要为粘着磨损和磨粒磨损,而涂层损伤是粘着磨损、剥层和氧化磨损共同作用的结果;在正常工作区内,提高铣削的转速和进给量,有利于减轻刀具的粘着,提高切削效率和质量。

Wear maps for some uncoated cutting tools

The method of using maps and diagrams to present wear rates and wear mechanisms, as well as showing the relationships between them, has been applied to cutting tools. In this summary paper, wear maps obtained earlier for uncoated high-speed steel (HSS) cutting tools are presented together with maps for uncoated carbide cutting tools. Within the two-dimensional area of a wear map defined by two easily controlled machining parameters, namely feed rate and cutting speed, the rates of tool wear, and the wear mechanisms observed during actual dry turning operations, are displayed. The presence of safety zones and least-wear regimes in these maps suggests that it may be possible to optimise actual machining operations so that compromises between rates of material removal, for an acceptable level of productivity, and tool costs can be reached. The concept of using machining-regions maps for practical tool-wear minimisation during machining is also discussed.     

An investigation on wear mechanism of high-speed turning of free-cutting steel AISI 1215 using uncoated and multi-layer coated tools

AISI 1215 is a new kind of green and non-toxic free-cutting steel with minimum environmental pollution and excellent machinability, which receives wide promotion, investigation, and application in manufacturing industries. In machining of AISI 1215 steel, tool wear has a close relation with the presence of manganese sulfide lubricant zone formed on the tool surface. In this work, with the aid of cutting temperature and tool Von Mises stress simulations, tool wear analysis on the uncoated and multi-layer (Al₂O₃/TiCN) coated carbide tools was performed in high-speed turning operation. Wear pattern and wear mechanisms were studied through the experimental results. The main findings showed that the uncoated tool suffered high cutting temperature and severe tool wear and was not conducive to form a manganese sulfide lubricant zone in the turning operation. In contrast, the multi-layer coated tool could form a manganese sulfide lubricant zone on the chip–tool contact area. The beneficial roles of the manganese sulfide lubricant zone formed on the coated tool surface can be summarized as lubrication and diffusion blocking. The main wear mechanisms of the uncoated tool were crater wear, oxidation wear, adhesive wear, and abrasive wear, whereas for the multi-layer coated tool, they were crater wear, adhesive wear, and abrasive wear.     

Wear mechanisms of WC coated and uncoated tools in finish turning of Inconel 718

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the wear mechanisms of uncoated tungsten carbide (WC) and coated tools (single-layer (TiAlN) PVD, and triple-layer (TiCN/Al₂O₃/TiN) CVD) in oblique finish turning of Inconel 718. Tool wear rate and wear mechanisms were evaluated for cutting speeds, 50<V<100 m/min, and feed rates, 0.075<f<0.125 mm/rev, at a constant depth of cut of 0.25 mm. It was concluded that abrasive and adhesive wear were the most dominant wear mechanisms, controlling the deterioration and final failure of the WC tools. While the triple layer CVD coated tools exhibited the highest wear resistance at high cutting speeds and low feeds, uncoated tools outperformed the single and multi-layer coated tools in the low range of cutting speeds and intermediate feeds. The cutting tool with single-layer PVD coating outperformed the other tools at the medium cutting speed.     

The performance of TiN-coated high speed steel tool inserts in turning

While it is well known that thin, hard coatings can reduce tool wear and improve tool life and productivity, there is still little consensus over the degree of advantage coated tools have over their uncoated counterparts. This paper compares the behaviour of titanium nitride- (TiN-) coated and uncoated high speed steel (HSS) tool inserts during turning. Wear maps describing the crater wear characteristics of these tools are used to show that the extent of tool wear reduction due to the coatings depends strongly on the cutting speed and feed rate. The maps also demonstrate that the benefits of TiN coatings on HSS tools may be easily realized over a wide range of machining conditions.     

Drilling of hybrid Al-5%SiCp-5%B4Cp metal matrix composites

Hybrid metal matrix composites consist of at least three constituents—a metal or an alloy matrix and two reinforcements in various forms, bonded together at the atomic level in the composite. Despite their higher specific properties (properties/unit weight) of strength and stiffness, the nonhomogeneous and anisotropic nature combined with the abrasive reinforcements render their machining difficult. The work piece may get damaged and the cutting tools experience high wear rates, which may lead to an uneconomical production process or even make the process impossible. This work reports on the drilling of Al-5%SiC_p-5%B₄C_p hybrid composite with high-speed steel (HSS), not expensive PCD, or carbide drills in an attempt to explore the viability of the process. Drilling of Al-5%SiC-5%B₄C composites with HSS drills is possible with lower speed and feed combination. The cutting conditions for minimized tool wear and improved surface finish are identified. Characterization of tool wear and surface integrity are also carried out.

Evaluation of the performance of coated and uncoated carbide tools in drilling thick CFRP/aluminium alloy stacks

This paper aims to establish the wear mechanisms of coated and uncoated tungsten carbide drills when drilling carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP)/aluminium alloy (Al) stacks. During the drilling experiments, thrust forces were measured. A scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a numerical microscope, provided with a scanning device, were periodically used to analyse tool wear mechanisms and to measure wear progression of the tool cutting edges. For both coated and uncoated drills, abrasion was the dominant tool wear mechanism, affecting the entire cutting edges. Higher wear was observed on uncoated tools which caused a significant increase in thrust force during drilling both Al and CFRP materials. The influence of these phenomena on the quality of the holes and on the generated roughness was also discussed.     

PCD和硬质合金刀具车削钛基复合材料时刀具磨损特征研究

麻花钻磨损特性的研究

通过对调质合金结构钢的大量钻削试验,研究了麻花钻磨损区的图形特征和磨损机理以及钻头失效与磨损图形参数、钻头切削寿命与钻削速度的关系。结果表明,麻花钻的磨损具有非线性特征,钻头转角和主刀刃及横刃区有两个显著不同的磨损区,随钻削速度的提高,这两个磨损区的特征差异及磨损带宽度之比明显增大。在钻削速度较低、钻头失效时,两个磨损区为较均衡的磨粒磨损和粘结磨损;钻削速度较高时,转角区剧烈的粘结磨损和氧化磨损使钻头加快失效,而主刀刃及横刃上的磨损却很小。受此影响,麻花钻的磨钝标准、耐用度问题较为复杂,钻头的寿命（Ｔ）－速度（Ｖ）曲线的泰勒特性范围很窄。

Performance of graded nano-composite ceramic tools in ultra-high-speed milling of Inconel 718

The cutting performance, failure types, and mechanisms of the graded nano-composite ceramic tools were investigated during dry face milling of Inconel 718. In these tests, round ceramic inserts were used at cutting speeds ranging from 500 to 1,100 m/min. The structures of the chips, cutting forces, and surface roughness were also examined. Failure surfaces of the tools were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the graded tool possessed a self-sharpening characteristic and exhibited higher cutting performance compared with the homogeneous ones, as a result of its enhanced mechanical properties, higher abrasive wear, and fracture resistance. The failure mechanisms of the tools involved chipping, flaking, notch wear, abrasive wear, and adhesive wear. The mechanisms responsible for the higher cutting performance of the graded tools were inferred to be the formation of compressive residual stress in the surface layer induced by the graded compositional structure.

TiCN涂层硬质合金刀具铣削性能研究

采用Kistler三向压电铣削测力仪测试了刀具切削45钢过程中的切削力,利用超景深显微镜、扫描电镜和能谱仪观察分析刀具切削后的磨痕宽度、形貌和成分,获得了未涂层刀具HSS、TiN和TiCN涂层刀具的切削时间与磨痕宽度关系图,探讨了刀具的切削失效机理。采用XRD分析了涂层刀具铣削前的相结构,结果表明:TiN与TiCN涂层均表现为fcc-TiN相结构,TiCN具有明显的(111)择优取向,TiN择优取向不明显。切削试验表明:在磨痕宽度达到0.3mm时,TiCN涂层刀具的切削时间比TiN涂层刀具切削时间约长2.5倍,同时整个切削过程中TiCN比TiN具有更低的切削力。这可能是因为TiCN涂层比TiN涂层具有更高的硬度和耐磨性,并且切削过程中TiCN涂层中固溶的C能析出至晶界处,起到润滑作用,降低刀具与工件材料之间的摩擦,减小切削力,延长刀具使用寿命。SEM和EDS分析表明:TiN涂层刀具磨损失效机理为磨料磨损和粘着磨损,而TiCN涂层刀具失效以磨料磨损为主。     

Dry-Sliding Tribological Properties of Bronze–Graphite Composites

Bronze-uncoated and nickel-coated graphite composites were fabricated by powder metallurgy route. The tribological behaviors of composites sliding against AISI52100 steel ball under dry sliding condition were studied using a ball-on-disk tribometer. The nickel-coated graphite composites showed much better tribological properties in comparison with bronze and uncoated graphite composite. The friction coefficient of nickel-coated graphite composites decreased with increasing nickel-coated graphite content. However, the specific wear rate increased with the increase in nickel-coated graphite. The composite containing 15?wt% nickel-coated graphite showed the best self-lubricating properties because the compacted and stable mechanical mixed layer was formed on the worn surfaces. The wear mechanism of bronze 663 is adhesive wear and abrasive wear. The uncoated nickel-coated graphite composite shows the adhesive wear and delamination characteristics. However, the wear mechanism of nickel-coated composites is mildly abrasive wear.
