Metal drilling is one of the most common methods of obtaining cylindrical bores. At the same time, the drill is the cutting tool that cuts in the most difficult conditions and consequently any measure that leads to the improvement of the cutting process is useful. The smooth entrance in the cutting is a way to increase the durability of the drill and consequently specific devices have been developed. One of these devices is shown in this paper and previous research shows the effectiveness of its use in drilling. The analysis of the device shows that it is used for cutting 41MoC11 and C45 steels with high speed steel drills, which are in a small range of sizes. The active element of the device is identified, a helical spring working for compression, and by calculating the respective axial force of the torque, is determined exactly the range of diameters of the drills that can cut effectively. At the same time is analyzed the way of enlarging the range of drills used with the device for smooth entrance in cutting, by introducing a second spring, concentric with the first, and which works simultaneously with it, thus the device was reengineered.

Gear hobbing is a highly utilized flexible manufacturing process for massive production of external gears. However, the complex geometry of cutting hobs is responsible for the almost exclusive utilization of high-speed steel (HSS) as cutting tool material. The limited cutting performance of HSS, even coated HSS, restricts the application of high cutting speeds and restricts the full exploitation of modern CNC hobbing machine tools. The application of cemented carbide tools was considered as a potential alternative to modern production requirements. In former investigations an experimental variation of gear hobbing, the so-called fly hobbing was applied, in order to specify the cutting performance of cemented carbide tools in gear production. These thorough experiments indicated that cracks, which were not expected, might occur in specific cutting cases, leading to the early failure of the entire cutting tool. In order to interpret computationally the reasons for these failures, an FEM simulation of the cutting process was developed, supported by advanced software tools able to determine the chip formation and the cutting forces during gear hobbing. The computational results explain sufficiently the failure mechanisms and they are quite in line with the experimental findings. The first part of this paper applies the verified parametric FEM model for various cutting cases, indicating the most risky cutting teeth with respect to their fatigue danger. In a step forward, the second part of the paper illustrates the effect of various technological and geometric parameters to the expected tool life. Therefore, the optimization of the cutting process is enabled, through the proper selection of cutting parameters, which can eliminate the failure danger of cemented carbide cutting tools, thus achieving satisfactory cost effectiveness.

Abstract TATMO V-N is an AISI Type M7 high-speed steel modified by alloy balancing and a nitrogen addition to develop superior hardness response in heat treatment. It is an excellent grade for many cutting-tool applications requiring an optimum balance of red hardness, edge toughness and wear resistance, such as drills, taps, end mills, reamers and milling cutters. Its combination of outstanding properties and high hardness makes Tatmo V-N a logical alternate for cobalt high-speed steels in many cutting-tool applications. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and elasticity. It also includes information on forming, heat treating, machining, and surface treatment.

In this article, a new model of regenerative vibrations due to the deflection of the cutting tool in turning is proposed. The previous study reported chatter as a result of cutting a wavy surface of the previous cut. The proposed model takes into account cutting forces as the main factor of tool deflection. A cantilever beam model is used to establish a numerical model of the tool deflection. Three-dimensional finite element method is used to estimate the tool permissible deflection under the action of the cutting load. To analyze the system dynamic behavior, 1-degree-of-freedom model is used. MATLAB is used to compute the system time series from the initial value using fourth-order Runge–Kutta numerical integration. A straight hard turning with minimal fluid application experiment is used to obtain cutting forces under stable and chatter conditions. A single-point cutting tool made from high-speed steel is used for cutting. Experiment results showed that for the cutting parameters above 0.1mm/rev feed and [Formula: see text]mm depth of cut, the system develops fluctuations and higher chatter vibration frequency. Dynamic model vibration results showed that the cutting tool deflection induces chatter vibrations which transit from periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic type.
