When the cutting speed or feed of a metal cutting tool is increased, the most striking effect is on the rate of tool wear, but there are other changes which take place at the same time. These are changes in the geometry of the chip, tool forces, and tool build-up and surface finish. An attempt is made in this paper to form a logical theory to explain these variations in the mechanics of the process. The problem of tool wear is not attempted. A series of tests has been conducted on mild steel and copper, over a wide range of speed, feed, and tool angle; and a theory has been developed. The results arrived at are:— (1) That local temperature in the chip plays an important part in affecting the friction at the chip tool interface. (2) For many purposes effects due to speed and feed can be treated as functions of the product of speed and feed. (3) Temperature does not affect the shear strength of the metal directly. (4) The extent of built-up edge prevailing can be put as a function of the product of speed and feed.

The present work is motivated by the will to improve Finite Element (FE) Modelling of cutting tool wear. As a first step, the characterisation of wear mechanisms and identification of a wear model appear to be fundamental. The key idea of this work consists in using a dedicated tribometer, able to simulate relevant tribological conditions encountered in cutting (pressure, velocity). The tribometer can be used to estimate the evolution of wear versus time for various tribological conditions (pressure, velocity, temperature). Based on this design of experiments, it becomes possible to identify analytically a wear model. As a preliminary study this paper will be focused on the impact of sliding speed at the contact interface between 304L stainless steel and tungsten carbide (WC) coated with titanium nitride (TiN) pin. This experiment enables to observe a modification of wear phenomena between sliding speeds of 60 m/min and 180 m/min. Finally, the impact on macroscopic parameters has been observed.

This paper discusses the monitoring of cutting tool wear based on time series analysis of acoustic emission signals. In cutting operations, acoustic emission provides useful information concerning the tool wear condition because of the fundamental differences between its source mechanisms in the rubbing friction on the wear land and the dislocation action in the shear zones. In this study, a signal processing scheme is developed which uses an autoregressive time-series to model the acoustic emission generated during cutting. The modeling scheme is implemented with a stochastic gradient algorithm to update the model parameters adoptively and is thus a suitable candidate for in-process sensing applications. This technique encodes the acoustic emission signal features into a time varying model parameter vector. Experiments indicate that the parameter vector ignores the change of cutting parameters, but shows a strong sensitivity to the progress of cutting tool wear. This result suggests that tool wear detection can be achieved by monitoring the evolution of the model parameter vector during machining processes.

Abstract Although Inconel 718 is an important material for modern aircraft and aerospace, it is a kind material, which is known to have low machinability. Especially, while these types of materials are machined, high cutting temperatures, BUE on cutting tool, high cutting forces and work hardening occur. Therefore, in recent years, instead of producing new cutting tools that can withstand these difficult conditions, cryogenic process, which is a heat treatment method to increase the wear resistance and hardness of the cutting tool, has been applied. In this experimental study, feed force, surface roughness, vibration, cutting tool wear, hardness and abrasive wear values that occurred as a result of milling of Inconel 718 material by means of cryogenically treated and untreated cutting tools were investigated. Three different cutting speeds (35-45-55 m/min) and three different feed rates (0.02-0.03-0.04 mm/tooth) at constant depth of cut (0.2 mm) were used as cutting parameters in the experiments. As a result of the experiments, lower feed forces, surface roughness, vibration and cutting tool wear were obtained with cryogenically treated cutting tools. As the feed rate and cutting speed were increased, it was seen that surface roughness, vibration and feed force values increased. At the end of the experiments, it was established that there was a significant relation between vibration and surface roughness. However, there appeared an inverse proportion between abrasive wear and hardness values. While BUE did not occur during cryogenically treated cutting tools, it was observed that BUE occurred in cutting tools which were not cryogenically treated.

Providing an increase in the working capacity of a metal-cutting tool, it is possible to significantly increase the productivity of mechanized labor, thereby reducing the cost of purchasing a new tool and saving on other accompanying technological components. During the operation of the cutting tool, the main load is transferred to its working part, this, as a rule, leads to partial wear or complete destruction of the planes and cutting edges. There are a number of technologies for processing working surfaces, which provides them with additional strengthening, the most effective of which is the method of applying special coatings to the surface of the cutting tool. Taking into account the specifics of the processes of formation of coatings, they can be divided into three main groups [1]. The first group includes methods in which the formation of coatings is carried out mainly due to diffusion reactions between saturating elements and structures of the instrumental material. The second group includes methods of forming coatings by a complex mechanism. The third group includes methods of forming coatings due to chemical and plasma-chemical reactions of particle flux simultaneously in volumes of space immediately adjacent to the saturable surfaces of the instrumental base. One such technology is the CIB (condensation and ion bombardment) method, which is a physical deposition of coatings. The most characteristic feature of coatings produced by this method is the absence of a transition zone between the coating and the tool material. This makes it possible to obtain a complex of properties on the working surfaces of the tool without deteriorating its original properties. The article is devoted to the issues of increasing the efficiency of ion-plasma technologies through the development and implementation of an automated system for analyzing and controlling the mass balance of reagent gases under conditions of several gases supply. Thus, the improvement of the technology of coating the working surfaces of the cutting tool, namely, the effective control of the process of applying ion-plasma coatings with the introduction of an automated system for analyzing and controlling the mass balance of reagent gases under conditions of supplying several gases is an urgent task.
