Edge Preparation

In machining operation, cutting tool performs a central role towards the overall machining performance. A user from metal cutting community always look for better cutting tools that can enhance productivity by reducing tool wear and cost. Modification in the micro-geometry of cutting edge is termed as edge preparation, and it is performed to improve the machining performance by strengthening the cutting edge, reducing internal stresses of coating and lowering the edge chipping etc. Edge preparation has a controlling influence on the formation of deformation zones, cutting temperature, cutting forces and stresses at the cutting interface. Vibration assisted machining (VAM) concept is gaining fame in the metal cutting sector community for machining difficult-to-machine materials. In VAM, cutting tool moves with a small amplitude vibration instead of moving with a constant cutting velocity. This small amplitude vibrational movement provides better machining performance for difficult-to-cut brittle materials. The current numerical study utilized different edge prepared micro-geometries such as sharp edge, round edge and chamfer edge etc. cutting tools, and then these cutting tools were used in the numerical simulations of VAM. The study shows higher magnitude of cutting forces under VAM with tools with modified geometry. The study is beneficial for the metal cutting community and opens new areas of industrial applications.

Regrinding of wasted cutting tools can recycle resources and decrease manufacturing costs. Influence of relative tool sharpness and tool cutting edge angle on tool edge radius were analyzed. Cutting force and cutting temperature were simulated with FEM on different edge radius. Edge preparation experiments were carried out though an abrasive nylon brushing method. The results show that RTS and cutting edge angle have influence on edge radius. Small edge radius might result in small cutting forces and lower average temperatures, could maintain the cutting state between tool and workpiece. The cutting edge defects can be eliminated through edge preparation, and a smooth cutting edge can be obtained. Cutting tool life will be improved through proper edge design and edge preparation.

This paper studies the performance of microgrooved cutting tool in dry orthogonal machining of mild steel (AISI1045 steel) using Finite Element (FE) simulation to gain insights into how to improve performance of cutting tools. Microgrooves are designed on the rake face of tungsten carbide (WC) cutting inserts. The purpose is to test the effect of microgroove textured tools on machining performance and to compare it with non-textured cutting tools. Specifically, the following groove parameters are examined: groove width, groove depth, edge distance (the distance from cutting edge to the first groove). Their effects are assessed in terms of cutting force and thrust force. It is found that microgrooved cutting tools generate lower cutting force and thrust force and consequently lower the energy necessary for machining. The groove width, groove depth, and edge distance have big influence on the cutting force and thrust force. Consequently, this research provides insightful guidance for optimizing cutting tools.

Machining Performance

The cutting tool heats up during the cutting of high-performance super alloys and it negatively affects the life of the cutting tool. Improved tool life can enhance both the machinability and sustainability of the cutting process. To improve the tool life preferably cutting fluids are utilized. However, the majority of cutting fluids are non-biodegradable in nature and pose harmful threats to the environment. It has been established in the metal cutting literature that introducing microgrooves at the cutting tool rake face can significantly reduce the coefficient of friction (COF). Reduction in the COF promotes anti-adhesive behavior that improves the tool life. The current study numerically investigates the orthogonal cutting process of AISI 630 Stainless Steel using different micro grooved cutting tools. Results of the numerical simulations point to the positive influence of micro grooves on tool life. The results of the main effects found that the cutting temperature was decreased by approximately 10% and 7% with rectangular and triangular micro grooved tools, respectively. Over machining performance indicated that rectangular micro groove tools provided comparatively better performance.

Cutting Tool Materials

Modern trends in metal cutting, high speed/feed machining, dry cutting and hard cutting set more demanding characteristics for cutting tool materials. The exposed parts of the cutting edges must be protected against the severe loading conditions and wear. The most significant coatings methods for cutting tools are PVD and CVD/MTCVD today. The choice of the right substrate or the right protective coating in the specific machining operation can have serious impact on machining productivity and economy. In many cases the deposition of the cutting tool with a hard coating increases considerably its cutting performance and tool life. The coating protects the tool against abrasion, adhesion, diffusion, formation of comb cracks and other wear phenomena.

Angesichts steigender Anforderungen an Zerspanwerkzeuge nimmt die Schneidkantenpräparation einen immer größer werdenden Stellenwert ein, da sich so die Standzeit von Zerspanwerkzeugen erhöhen lässt. Die bisher eingesetzten Präparationsverfahren eignen sich meist nur für einfache Verrundungen an der Schneidkante. In umfangreichen Untersuchungen wurde die Eignung von Formschleifprozessen zur Herstellung definierter Schneidkantenmikrogeometrien anhand von Arbeitsergebnissen analysiert.   Due to increasing demands on cutting tools cutting edge preparation has a high priority because it influences the tool life. Current cutting edge preparation processes can only generate simple roundings on the cutting edge. By extensive investigations the suitability of form grinding processes for the production of defined microgeometries on the cutting edge was analysed.

Minimizing energy consumption in the processing of parts on metal-cutting equipment is most effective at the stage of designing the content of operations. Important in this process is the precise determination of the initial parameters - cutting forces. This parameter allows you to plan both energy consumption and perform additional calculations for the deformation of the tooling and workpiece in order to predict the geometric accuracy of the machined part. The article presents the results of experiments on measuring the circumferential cutting force during milling operations of an aluminum alloy workpiece with an end mill. The measurements were carried out by an indirect method - by recording the electrical power on the spindle and then calculating the circumferential cutting force. Theoretical analysis of the methods of calculation of cutting forces showed significant differences between the results obtained by domestic methods and recommendations of world manufacturers of cutting tools. Statistical analysis of the results of calculations based on reference data and measurements made it possible to assess the adequacy of the known methods for calculating cutting forces in order to minimize energy consumption in operations of processing parts on metal-cutting equipment

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown diamond films have found applications as a hard coating for cutting tools. Even though the use of conventional diamond coatings seems to be accepted in the cutting tool industry, selections of proper coating thickness for different machining operations have not been often studied. Coating thickness affects the characteristics of diamond coated cutting tools in different perspectives that may mutually impact the tool performance in machining in a complex way. In this study, coating thickness effects on the deposition residual stresses, particularly around a cutting edge, and on coating failure modes were numerically investigated. On the other hand, coating thickness effects on tool surface smoothness and cutting edge radii were experimentally investigated. In addition, machining Al matrix composites using diamond coated tools with varied coating thicknesses was conducted to evaluate the effects on cutting forces, part surface finish and tool wear. The results are summarized as follows. (1) Increasing coating thickness will increase the residual stresses at the coating-substrate interface. (2) On the other hand, increasing coating thickness will generally increase the resistance of coating cracking and delamination. (3) Thicker coatings will result in larger edge radii; however, the extent of the effect on cutting forces also depends upon the machining condition. (4) For the thickness range tested, the life of diamond coated tools increases with the coating thickness because of delay of delaminations.

The improvement of the microgeometry became a subject of a great interest in cutting tools optimization. This paper approaches the process of cutting edge preparation of solid carbide reamers. It has been analyzed the evolution of cutting edge wear resistance in the material GGG 40 using the scanning electron microscope (SEM). The work also compared the rounded cutting edge reamers realized using wet abrasive jet machining with standard unprepared cutting edge. To obtain different microgeometries were experienced a number of machining strategies, which resulted in four combinations of roundness and forms for the cutting edge. In order to validate the results, the author studied the wear resistance during the reaming tests, the influence of prepared surface of the cutting edge on metallic coating layer adhesion. The final purpose was to determinate the optimal strategy of cutting edge preparation considering the evolution of wear during the reaming process.
