A new method to measure the temperature distribution in cutting tools is reported. In this method, a thin PVD (physically vapor deposited) film deposited on a cutting tool is used as a thermal sensor. Various films of different materials are deposited to determine the location of a multiplicity of isotherms at different temperatures. Cemented carbide tools and alumina ceramic tools are used for tests. It is confirmed that the boundary between the melted film zone and the unmelted film zone shows the isotherm directly and clearly. The method is also found to be very sensitive and applicable to any tool material as well as to a very small area.

The article considers the problems of forecasting the performance of cutting tools equipped with replaceable ceramic cutting bits. It is proposed to forecast the operability of ceramic tools on the ground of dependence between its performance characteristics and the microstructural parameters of the tool material. It is proposed to determine the parameters of ceramic bits microstructure by a nondestructive testing methods based on measuring the specific electrical resistance of ceramic materials. As a result of the study we have undertaken, a relationship was detected between the performance and specific electrical resistance of ceramic cutting tools.

Through the analysis for steel of 4145H drill collar, Research into the various factors of cutting, such as the cutting tool material, cutting-tool angle and cutting parameters, combined with the actual structure of the workpiece and the superlong deep-hole processing method for study. In the test, the machining process is analyzed, especially the process of boring and honing. The test result indicates that the trepanning process is stable and reliable to solve the superlong deep hole (Φ71mm×7500mm) of 4145H drill collar steel processing problems of production if the optimizing cutting method is appropriate and the cutting tools and the cutting parameters are rational.

Cutting tools of sufficient strength against failure by brittle fracture or loss of “form stability” through rise of interface temperatures, still continue to fail by a process of “wear,” which is loss of cutting tool material through gradual interaction between the work and the tool material. Such wear can take place either at the principal flank surface or at the top face of the cutting tool for roughing and semiroughing cuts. Wear may also occur at the auxiliary flank surface resulting in grooving wear during fine machining or machining of high strength materials. The causes for such wear processes include (i) mechanical interaction (abrasion or adhesion and transfer type), (ii) thermochemical interaction (diffusion or chemical reaction). As a part of this investigation on tool wear, two theoretical models have been proposed for explaining mechanical wear at the flank surface. These models explain the nature and characteristics of wear growth and the sensitiveness and dependence of interaction phenomena between the tool-work pair.

The transient thermal stresses in an insulated quarter-plane, subject to an instantaneous heat source on a segment of the surface, are determined with the aid of the Green's function for a two-dimensional infinite space. Numerical results for the transient thermal stresses at the surfaces of the quarter-plane are superimposed on previous isothermal results for cutting-load stresses in a π/2 wedge, to provide a model for a metal-cutting tool in the transient stages of a cutting process. The results are related to the problem of the thermal-cracking of cutting tools, and mechanisms of crack nucleation and propagation are proposed for both ceramic and cemented-carbide tools.

The author considers methods of forecasting metal-cutting tool life based on characteristics of cutting tool material. These characteristics depend on differences in numerical values of physical and chemical properties of tool material due to changes in its composition, structure, and production process variables. The described methods allow obtaining the information necessary for forecasting the tool life beyond the process of cutting, for example at the stage of cutting tool manufacturing. The author suggests using the method of registration of thermo-physical properties of the tool material as a promising forecasting technique.

The paper presents an analysis of the impact of cutting parameters such as cutting rate, feed rate, cutting depth and cutting tool material grade for surface roughness, the components of the total cutting force and chip morphology. We analysed the process of rolling 145Cr steel with a hardness of 55HRC with Wiper type tools with different percentage of CBN. The results and conclusions were presented.

Evidence has been obtained that, in extremely severe conditions of friction, fusion occurs at the surface of friction between cemented carbides and steel. It is shown that steel will fuse with tungsten carbide at a temperature between 1,300 and 1,325 deg. C. (2,372 and 2,417 deg. F.). A theory is put forward to account for the “cratering” wear on cemented carbide tools containing free tungsten carbide. According to this theory, a fused layer of an alloy between tungsten carbide and steel is formed at the friction surface and is carried away by the chip. Titanium-tungsten carbide does not fuse with steel so readily, and hence is worn away much less rapidly than tungsten carbide in steel-cutting at high speeds. Micro-examination of worn tool surfaces shows that the type of wear is consistent with this theory. The conditions existing at the tool-work surface are discussed and the type of temperature distribution in the tool near the cutting edge is estimated. It is shown that the temperature distribution near the cutting edge can control the extent of cratering, the “built-up” edge, and deformation of the tool. In the light of the theory, some of the basic properties required in a tool material are discussed.

In this work, two kinds of Al2O3-TiC-TiN ceramic cutting tools (AC2U and AC2UN2) were developed by hot-pressing sintering techniques. The mechanical properties were measured and the cutting performance was investigated. The workpiece used in the cutting experiment was quenched carbon tool steel T10A, and the tool material for comparison was LT55. The wear resistance and the main wear patterns of the ceramic tools were analyzed at the high speed of 300m/min. The results indicated that the novel Al2O3-TiC-TiN ceramic cutting tools showed better cutting performance than LT55, and AC2UN2 was better suitable for machining quenched T10A. When the cutting condition was v=300m/min, f=0.1mm/r and ap=0.1mm, the adhesion wear and abrasive wear of the novel ceramic tools were slighter than those of LT55, the diffusion wear resistance of AC2U was better and the oxidation resistance of AC2UN2 was better.
