A variety of cutting tool materials are used for the contact mode mechanical machining of components under extreme conditions of stress, temperature and/or corrosion, including operations such as drilling, milling turning and so on. These demanding conditions impose a seriously high strain rate (an order of magnitude higher than forming), and this limits the useful life of cutting tools, especially single-point cutting tools. Tungsten carbide is the most popularly used cutting tool material, and unfortunately its main ingredients of W and Co are at high risk in terms of material supply and are listed among critical raw materials (CRMs) for EU, for which sustainable use should be addressed. This paper highlights the evolution and the trend of use of CRMs) in cutting tools for mechanical machining through a timely review. The focus of this review and its motivation was driven by the four following themes: (i) the discussion of newly emerging hybrid machining processes offering performance enhancements and longevity in terms of tool life (laser and cryogenic incorporation); (ii) the development and synthesis of new CRM substitutes to minimise the use of tungsten; (iii) the improvement of the recycling of worn tools; and (iv) the accelerated use of modelling and simulation to design long-lasting tools in the Industry-4.0 framework, circular economy and cyber secure manufacturing. It may be noted that the scope of this paper is not to represent a completely exhaustive document concerning cutting tools for mechanical processing, but to raise awareness and pave the way for innovative thinking on the use of critical materials in mechanical processing tools with the aim of developing smart, timely control strategies and mitigation measures to suppress the use of CRMs.

Abstract MAXITE is a tungsten-cobalt-vanadium high-speed tool steel. It is best used when maximum chip removal with single-point cutting tools is of primary importance. Tools made from Maxite will cut tough and hard materials such as stainless steels and hardened alloy steels with relative ease. It is excellent for cutting weld flashings and gritty, scaly hard castings. Among its many applications are drills, lathe tools, planer tools, cutoff tools and roll-turning tools. This datasheet provides information on composition and hardness. It also includes information on wear resistance as well as forming, heat treating, and machining. Filing Code: TS-461. Producer or source: Columbia Tool Steel Company.

The presented work models the geometry of Single Point Cutting Tools (SPCTs) with generic profile. Presently few standard shapes of SPCTs defined in terms of projective geometry are being employed while there is a need to design free-form tools to efficiently machine free-form surfaces with few passes and chosen range of cutting angles. To be able to produce SPCT face and flanks with generic shapes through grinding, a comprehensive geometric model of the tool in terms of the varying grinding angles and the ground depths is required which helps design the tool with arbitrarily chosen tool angles. The surface modeling begins with the creation of a tool blank model followed by transformation of unbounded planes to get the cutting tool surfaces. The intersection of these surfaces with the blank gives the complete model of the tool. Having created the geometric model in two generations of generalization, the paper presents the methodology to obtain the conventional tool angles from the generic model. An illustration of the model has been provided showing variation of tool angles along the cutting edge with changing grinding parameters. When the geometric model is not to be related to the grinding parameters, the SPCT can be modeled as a composite NURBS surface which has been presented towards the end of the work.

Single-point fly cutting and nanoindentation test of quartz glass were performed using three different cutting tools, namely, a V-shaped cutting tool, a Vickers indenter and a spherical indenter, to investigate the elastic and plastic behaviors of quartz glass in ductile-regime machining. It was found that these behaviors depend on tool shape and that the V-shaped cutting tool is most effective for removing quartz glass material followed by the Vickers indenter and spherical indenter.
