Abstract: The important portion of machining costs associated with cutting inserts and scraps induces the search for better effectiveness in turning. This paper presents the results of an exploratory study on the influence of tool flank wear on roughness indicators (arithmetic average roughness, root mean square roughness and maximum height of the roughness profile). The objective is to determine which of these indicators is best correlated with the cutting tool flank wear. In order to do this, specimens of AISI 1045 are machined until the end of life of a cutting insert. Significant, strong and positive correlations are found between all three roughness indicators and the tool flank wear. The most significant correlation is found with the arithmetic average roughness and the root mean square roughness of the profile. The choice of the end-of-life criteria for cutting inserts in industrial contexts is also discussed.

Abstract: Authors of the paper present different types of tool wear after machining of weld overlay with AlTiN cutting insert. Welded layer was created on roller made from S355J0 steel by Open Arc (OA) method also referred as Metal One Gas (MOG). Various forms of tool wear were documented by optical microscope. Microchipping of cutting edge, built up edge (BUE) and flank wear were identified on examined round insert in rough turning of hard cladding.

Abstract: The paper deals with utilization of active triangulation method for shape investigation of cutting inserts after wear. For measuring of cutting insert shape a method using the structured light (fringe projection) was used. As a measuring device the optical 3D scanner GOM ATOS II TripleScan SO was used. Cutting inserts with different shapes was measured. With the measurement method mentioned in the paper the accurate shape of the cutting insert can be captured. From the 3D model moreover it is possible to measure the geometrical properties as well as tool wear, plastical deformation, build-up-edge, corner damage and chipping of cutting insert.

Abstract: This article focuses on the analysis of tool wear mechanisms in milling of Inconel 718. Inconel 718 is tough and highly temperature resistive material, which is used due to its excellent properties especially in aggressive corrosive medium. Machining of this alloy is still complicated. The feasibility of four inserts tested for milling of Inconel 718 has been shown in the work. Different cutting speeds and feeds were used. Experimental tests were performed in order to analyze wear patterns evolution. It was found influence of cutting conditions and type if insert in tool wear mode.

Abstract: From studies on the Damascus steel, the manufacturing of ultra-high carbon content steel (UHCS) by powder metallurgy has been carried out in previous works. UHCSs have been manufactured mixing iron and graphite powders, uniaxial compacting, and sintering in vacuum atmosphere. Finally, they have been hot-rolled at relatively low temperatures using their superplasticity to obtain optimum properties. High hardness particles of SiC (micro and nanometric size) and diamond (with and without coating) were added to UHCS to produce inserts for cutting discs. Their mechanical properties have been studied through bending tests and hardness measurements. SEM observations have shown how the structure of the steel and the particles has been modified depending on the performed thermo-mechanical treatment. This way, it is possible to justify the effect of the addition of high hardness particles in the reduction of plasticity and wear resistance of the material.
