Cutting Performance of Turning Insert with Three-Arcs-Shaped Finishing Edge

Abstract:

In the turning of a shaft with a step of specified corner R, it is important whether the corner radiuses of the turning insert is the same as the specified corner R or lower than it. A turning tool with a large corner radius cannot adapt to cutting a shaft with a step of specified corner R. In this study, the surface roughness, cutting force, and tool wear were experimentally investigated in order to clarify the cutting performance of the turning insert with a three-arcs-shaped finishing edge. The machined surface of the insert with a three-arcs-shaped finishing edge was better than that of the normal insert. The wear progress of the insert with an arc-shaped finishing edge was slightly slower than that of the normal insert. The cutting force of the insert with an arc-shaped finishing edge was almost the same as that of the normal insert.
