Wear mechanism of coated tools in the turning of ductile cast iron having wide range of tensile strength

In this study different specimens of ductile cast iron with tensile strength ranking from 400 MPa to 675 MPa were turned with K15 carbide, TiN coated and TiAlN coated tool in order to investigate wear mechanism and performance. Cutting forces and cutting temperature were similar for both coated tools, however flank wear and BUE were the lowest on the TiAlN coated tool, for this reason the TiAlN coated tool is suitable in the machining of ductile cast iron. The proposed tool wear mechanism is based on like-intermittent cutting caused by the pass from hard matrix to the soft graphite occasioning wear by adhesion. The analysis of the flank wear on coated tools is proposed by means of the wear curves in logarithmic scale instead of the usual linear scale. In this way, the change in wear rate is easily observed. This phenomenon was related with the wear out of the coating layer. The partial loss of the coating layer on cutting edge was confirmed by the EDS mapping images and SEM photographs.     

Influence of cutting speed on cutting force,flank temperature,and tool wear in end milling of Ti-6Al-4V alloy

Tool wear is one of the most important problems in cutting titanium alloys due to the high-cutting temperature and strong adhesion. Recently, the high-speed machining process has become a topic of great interest for titanium alloys, not only because it increases material removal rates, but also because it can positively influence the properties of finished workpiece. However, the process may result in the increase of cutting force and cutting temperature which will accelerate tool wear. In this paper, end milling experiments of Ti-6Al-4V alloy were conducted at high speeds using both uncoated and coated carbide tools. The obtained results show that the cutting force increases significantly at higher cutting speed whether the cutter is uncoated carbide or TiN/TiAlN physical vapor deposition (PVD)-coated carbide. For uncoated carbide tools, the mean flank temperature is almost constant at higher cutting speed, and no obvious abrasion wear or fatigue can be observed. However, for TiN/TiAlN PVD-coated carbide tools, the mean flank temperature always increases as the increase of cutting speed, and serious abrasion wear can be observed. In conclusion, the cutting performance of uncoated inserts is relatively better than TiN/TiAlN PVD-coated inserts at a higher cutting speed.

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.     

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.

Wear behaviors of single-layer and multi-layer coated carbide inserts in high speed machining of hardened AISI 4340 steel

Flank wear progression and wear mechanisms of uncoated, coated with PVD applied single-layer TiAlN, and CVD applied multi-layer MT-TiCN/Al₂O₃/TiN cemented carbide inserts were analyzed during dry turning of hardened AISI 4340 steel (35 HRC). Experimental observations indicate that by applying a coating to the uncoated insert the limiting cutting speed increase from 62 to 200 m/min, which further extends up-to 300–350 m/min when using multi-layer coating scheme. Relatively lower wear rate seen when using single-layer TiAlN coated inserts. However, after removal of the thin layer of coating the wear rate increase rapidly, subsequently dominates the wear rate of multi-layer coated inserts. Cutting forces; especially axial and radial components have also shown the similar behavior and increase rapidly when the tool failure occurs. Flank wear, crater wear and catastrophic failure are the dominant forms of tool wear. Digital microscope and SEM images coupled with elemental analysis (EDAX) have been taken at various stages of tool life for understanding the wear mechanisms.     

High-Speed Machining of Malleable Cast Iron by Various Cutting Tools Coated by Physical Vapor Deposition

The coating material of a tool directly affects the efficiency and cost of machining malleable cast iron.However,the machining adaptability of various coating materials to malleable cast iron has been insufficiently researched.In this paper,turning tests were conducted on cemented carbide tools with different coatings(a thick TiN/TiAlN coating,a thin TiN/TiAlN coating,and a nanocomposite(nc)TiAlSiN coating).All coatings were applied by physical vapor deposi-tion.In a comparative study of chip morphology,cutting force,cutting temperature,specific cutting energy,tool wear,and surface roughness,this study analyzed the cutting characteristics of the tools coated with various materials,and established the relationship between the cutting parameters and machining objectives.The results showed that in malleable cast iron machining,the coating material significantly affects the cutting performance of the tool.Among the three tools,the nc-TiAlSiN-coated carbide tool achieved the minimum cutting force,the lowest cutting tempera-ture,least tool wear,longest tool life,and best surface quality.Moreover,in comparisons between cemented-carbide and compacted-graphite cast iron machined under the same conditions,the wear mechanism of the coated tools was found to depend on the cast iron being machined.Therefore,the performance requirements of a tool depend on multiple factors,and selecting an appropriately coated tool for a particular cast iron material is essential.
