Effect of microscale texture on cutting performance of WC/Co-based TiAlN coated tools under different lubrication conditions

Laser texturing of substrate of coated tools — Performance during machining and in adhesion tests

“…The technique of modifying the texture of the substrate of cutting tools through laser beams in order to improve the adhesion of coatings is relatively new to machining and still lacks many investigations since there are few published studies, even though their number has increased in recent years [12][13][14][15]. Its potential shows that it is a very promising alternative to improve the adhesion of coatings on cutting tools.…”

“…Another successful application of laser-textured tools was achieved in machining hardened steel by Zhang et al [15]. After texturing, the tools were coated with TiAlN.…”

Investigation of the tribology behaviour of the graphene nanosheets as oil additives on textured alloy cast iron surface

“…And its friction reducing and anti-wear mechanisms have been widely reported as a decrease in real contact area, wear debris entrapment and lubricating oil storing [13][14][15][16].…”

Effect of micro/nano-scale textures on anti-adhesive wear properties of WC/Co-based TiAlN coated tools in AISI 316 austenitic stainless steel cutting

“…This improvement is mainly attributed to several physical mechanisms such as wear debris entrapment, local increase of lubricant supply by fluid reservoirs creation and also increase of load carrying capacity by a hydrodynamic effect [15][16][17][18]. Now increasing studies have explored the benefits of surface texturing when applied to the cutting tools [19][20][21][22]. Deng et al [19] fabricated micro-scale textures with different geometrical characteristics on the tool rake face, and MoS 2 solid lubricants were filled into the textures.…”
