Hard turning is a turning operation performed on hard materials (hardness more than 45 HRC) in order to reach surface roughness close to that obtained in grinding. The development of this technology was accompanied by the development of new cutting materials such as cutting ceramics, cubic boron nitride and polycrystalline diamond. Especially cubic boron nitride has found its use in hard part turning operations because of its characteristics. However, new cutting materials result in new questions, which researchers are trying to solve. The major consideration for a user of this relatively new technology is the quality of parts produced and how the new cutting material will behave during machining. This paper aims to document and describe the process of wear on the cutting edge of a tool made from cubic boron nitride of a different grade and with a different geometry of the cutting edge, and its influence on surface roughness and quality. Wear was documented by a digital microscope with measurement option. Surface roughness was measured by a roughness meter. A notable observation from this research is that the flank wear of the cutting tool has a large impact on the quality of machined parts (especially surface finish and surface integrity) [1].
Drlička R., Kročko V., Matúš M., 2014. Machinability improvement using high-pressure cooling in turning. Res. Agr. Eng., 60 (Special Issue): S70-S76.Process fluids are used primarily for their cooling and lubricating effect in machining. Many ways to improve their performance have been proposed; the analysis of some of them is provided in the paper. The effect of high pressure cooling has been investigated with regard to chip formation and tool life. Standard and for high pressure application particularly designed indexable cutting inserts were used with fluid pressure 1.5 and 7.5 MPa. The pressure effect on tool life at different feed rates was observed as well. Not each cooling pressure value or machined material showed favourable chip formation. Tool life though has improved significantly while machining with a lower feed rate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
