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.

     

Wear behaviour of alumina based ceramic cutting tools on machining steels

The advanced ceramic cutting tools have very good wear resistance, high refractoriness, good mechanical strength and hot hardness. Alumina based ceramic cutting tools have very high abrasion resistance and hot hardness. Chemically they are more stable than high-speed steels and carbides, thus having less tendency to adhere to metals during machining and less tendency to form built-up edge. This results in good surface finish and dimensional accuracy in machining steels. In this paper wear behaviour of alumina based ceramic cutting tools is investigated. The machining tests were conducted using SiC whisker reinforced alumina ceramic cutting tool and Ti[C,N] mixed alumina ceramic cutting tool on martensitic stainless steel-grade 410 and EN 24 steel work pieces. Flank wear in Ti[C,N] mixed alumina ceramic cutting tool is lower than that of the SiC whisker reinforced alumina cutting tool. SiC whisker reinforced alumina cutting tool exhibits poor crater wear resistance while machining. Notch wear in SiC whisker reinforced alumina cutting tool is lower than that of the Ti[C,N] mixed alumina ceramic cutting tool. The flank wear, crater wear and notch wear are higher on machining martensitic stainless steel than on machining hardened steel. In summary Ti[C,N] mixed alumina cutting tool performs better than SiC whisker reinforced alumina cutting tool on machining martensitic stainless steel.

Tool life and wear mechanism of coated and uncoated Al2O3/TiCN mixed ceramic tools in turning hardened alloy steel

The focus of this paper is the continuous turning of hardened AISI 52100 (～63HRc) using coated and uncoated ceramic Al₂O₃–TiCN mixed inserts, which are cheaper than cubic boron nitride (CBN) or polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN). The machinability of hardened steel was evaluated by measurements of tool wear, tool life, and surface finish of the workpiece. Wear mechanisms and patterns of ceramic inserts in hard turning of hardened AISI 52100 are discussed. According to the results obtained, fracture and chipping type damages occur more frequently in uncoated tools, whereas crater wear is the more common type of damage in TiN coated tools. Most important result obtained from the study is that TiN coating and crater wear affect chip flow direction. In uncoated ceramic tool, the crater formation results in decrease of chip up-curl radius. Besides, uncoated cutting tool results in an increase in the temperature at the tool chip interface. This causes a thermal bi-metallic effect between the upper and lower sides of the chip that forces the chip to curl a smaller radius. Chips accumulate in front of the tool and stick to the workpiece depending on the length of the cutting time. This causes the surface quality to deteriorate. TiN coating not only ensures that the cutting tool is tougher, but also ensures that the surface quality is maintained during cutting processes.     

Wear phenomenon in the hard steel machining using ceramic tools

The principle aim of this investigation is to recognize the wear phenomenon of the mixed ceramic tips against 60 HRC steel specimens in dry and hard turning operations. For this purpose both microscopic and microstructural aspects of ceramic tool wear were taken into consideration. Investigations were performed under varying feed rate, constant cutting speed of 100 m/min and small depth of cut of 0.2 mm to perform finishing cuts. Light optical microscopy (LOM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), BSE technique and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRM) were applied for observations of worn tool surfaces, wear products and the distinction of wear mechanisms occurring. In general, wear mechanisms observed in the machining tests involve abrasion, fracture, plastic flow, material transfer and tribochemical effects which appear depending on the mechanical and thermal conditions generated on the wear zones. In particular, two types of transfer layer formation with different morphologies occurring at the rake-chip interface are distinguished.

Performance of ceramic tools in high-speed cutting iron-based superalloys

A series of turning tests were conducted to investigate the cutting performance of ceramic tools in high-speed turning iron-based superalloys GH2132 (A286). Three kinds of ceramic tools, KY1540, CC650, and CC670 were used and their materials are Sialon, Al₂O₃–Ti(C,N), and Al₂O₃–SiC_w, respectively. The cutting forces, cutting temperatures, tool wear morphologies, and tool failure mechanisms are discussed. The experimental results show that with the increase in cutting speed, the resultant cutting forces with KY1540 and CC670 tools show a tendency to increase first and then decrease while those for CC650 increase gradually. The cutting temperature increases monotonically with the increase in cutting speed. The optimum cutting speeds for KY1540 and CC650 when turning GH2132 are less than 100 m/min, while those for CC670 are between 100 and 200 m/min. Flank wear is the main reason that leads to tool failure of KY1540 and CC670 while notch wear is the main factor that leads to tool failure of CC650. Tool failure mechanisms of ceramic tools when machining GH2132 include adhesion, chipping, abrasion, and notching. Better surface roughness can be got using CC670 ceramic tools.

Cutting performance of Si<Subscript>3</Subscript>N<Subscript>4</Subscript>/TiC micro-nanocomposite ceramic tool in dry machining of hardened steel

A type of Si₃N₄/TiC micro-nanocomposite ceramic cutting tool material was fabricated using Si₃N₄ micro-matrix with Si₃N₄ and TiC nanoparticles. Cutting performance of the Si₃N₄/TiC ceramic cutting tool in dry cutting of hardened steel was investigated in comparison with a commercial Sialon insert. Hard turning experiments were carried out at three different cutting speeds, namely 97, 114, and 156 m/min. Feed rate (f) and depth of cut (a _p) were fixed at 0.1 mm/rev and 0.2 mm, respectively. Results showed that cutting temperature increased rapidly to nearly 1000 °C with increasing cutting speed. The two types of cutting tools featured similar wear behavior. However, the Si₃N₄/TiC micro-nanocomposite ceramic cutting tool exhibited better wear resistance than the Sialon tool. Morphologies of crater and flank wear were observed with a scanning electron microscope. Results indicated that wear variation of the two types of ceramic cutting tools differed in the same conditions. Wear of the Si₃N₄/TiC micro-nanocomposite ceramic cutting tool is mainly dominated by abrasion and adhesion, whereas that of the Sialon ceramic cutting tool is dominated by abrasion, adhesion, thermal shock cracking, and flaking.

Lathe Turning of Titanium Using Pulsed Laser Deposited, Ultra-Hard Boride Coatings of Carbide Inserts

Despite several years of research and development, titanium machining remains a challenging task that is currently carried out by the use of straight WC/Co and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools. Commercially available coated tools tend to react chemically with titanium, while ceramic tools suffer from chipping and notching. Advancements in cutting tools, particularly coated carbides, are needed to reduce tool wear in machining of titanium alloys. In this work, a recently developed, ultra-hard AlMgB₁₄-20%TiB₂ composite material was applied as a coating on WC/6%Co tool inserts by a pulsed laser (excimer) deposition technique. The coating was smooth, continuous, and fairly uniform in thickness. The average coating thickness was 0.7 μm for a deposition rate of 0.08 nm per pulse. Nanoindentation tests revealed that the hardness of the coating was approximately twice that of the WC/6%Co substrate. Dry machining tool wear tests, conducted with a CNC lathe by turning bar stocks of heat-treated Ti-6Al-4V alloy, showed that the coated tools outperformed uncoated tools by about two times in flank and nose wears and performed nearly same as that of the commercially available TiAlN coated tool. Detailed analysis of worn tools revealed that the wear mechanisms are quite different in coated tools and are similar to those observed in PCD tools. Results agree well with the general observation that a stable, strong adherent layer forms at the interface between the tool and the chip and minimizes the dissolution-diffusion wear mechanism.     

The effects of work material on tool wear

Wear maps showing the wear behaviour of titanium carbide (TiC)-coated cemented carbide tools during dry turning of various types of steel have been presented in earlier studies. The maps have demonstrated that tool wear rates vary with cutting speeds and feed rates used. They have also shown that there is a range of cutting conditions, called the safety zone, within which tool wear rates are the lowest. This paper further examines, using the wear mapping methodology, the effects of different grades of steel workpieces on the wear of TiC-coated carbide tools. Wear maps constructed for the machining of AISI 1045 and 4340 steels show that flank wear is generally more severe when machining the AISI 4340 grade, especially at high cutting speeds and feed rates. Nevertheless, the contour and location of the safety zone on the wear maps for both grades of steels correspond to that revealed in previous work on general steel grades.     

Study of Residual Stress Distribution in the Machined Stainless Steel Components

The demand for high quality and fully automated production, coupled with advances in alloy development, focuses attention on the surface condition of products, especially the residual stresses on the machined surface because of its effect on component performance, longevity, and reliability. Although stainless steel is an important, material with wide application, it is not easy to obtain favorable surface condition, due to its sensitivity to thermal and mechanical operations. In order to obtain favorable surface conditions in a stainless steel component, it is necessary to have practical data which include information concerning tool wear, surface roughness and surface residual stress. In the research toward developing a machinability chart which can provide suitable cutting parameters for the high production rate and good quality surface, and can be used in computer controlled machining tools, surface residual stress distributions in the turning process for stainless steel were studied. Austenitic 304 stainless steel bars were selected as the workpieces and uncoated carbide tools were used in the tests. The obtained results will show residual stress conditions on the machined stainless steel components varying according to cutting conditions.     

Performance of coated, cemented carbide, mixed-ceramic and PCBN-H tools when turning W320 steel

TiN-coated cemented carbide, mixed ceramic and PCBN with a high percentage of CBN (PCBN-H) tools were used for reconditioned turning of hardened and tempered W320 steel hot working dies. The dies are usually scraped after their useful life because they are difficult to be reconditioned by machining. One alternative to scraping these dies is to convert them, increasing their internal diameters by internal turning. The machining experiments showed that coated carbide tools performed better at cutting speeds up to 120 m/min, while PCBN tools were superior at higher speeds up to 200 m/min. Mixed ceramic tools did not perform well under the conditions investigated. The tribological system showed abrasion, adhesion and plastic deformation as the dominant wear mechanisms. Chipping on the tool rake and flank faces, as well as catastrophic failure, was also observed in some experiments.     

Wear mechanism of ceramic tools

Cutting tests were performed using ceramic cutting tools under continuous cutting conditions. The tests were carried out on AISI 1040 steel, with cutting speeds ranging from 5 to 11 m s⁻¹. The wear mechanism was investigated for both crater and flank. Alumina-toughened zirconia of submicron grain size showed the best wear resistance. Alumina with TiC, TiN and ZrO₂ inclusions exhibited a wear resistance a little lower than the above-mentioned materials. Low chemical stability seems to be the reason for the poor performances of the silicon carbide whiskers-reinforced alumina, silicon nitride and the tungsten carbide inserts.
