Abstract: The objective of the present work is to study tribological properties of multilayered wear resistant coatings on the cutting tools. Two types of coatings (TiAl)N were studied: normal monolayer coating and improved coating. The tests were conducted with cooling, and without it. During high speed machining an intensive tribo-oxidation of tool surface occurs. Formation of aluminum oxide films on the surface of cutting tool significantly changes the heat flow and heat dissipation into the chip. Conditions of the chips formation (chip thickness ratio and the shear plane angle) and the coefficient of friction on the rake face of the cutting tool have been measured during the cutting process. The results demonstrated significant improvement of tribological parameters for the cutting tools with filtered coatings.

Abstract: Prediction of shear plane angle is a way for prediction of the mechanism of chip formation, machining forces and so on. In this study, Merchant and Lee-Shaffer theories are used for prediction of shear plane angles and cutting forces in machining of Al/SiC_p MMC with 20% of SiC as reinforcement particles. The experimental cutting forces are compared with the calculated cutting force based on shear plane angles extracted from Merchant and Lee-Shaffer theories. The variation of these cutting forces with cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut has been discussed. The results showed that Merchant theory may be used as a good method for prediction of chip formation in machining of Al/SiC_p MMC.
