Research on Cutting Performance of HSS Taps by Electric Enhanced

Article Preview

Abstract:

After tool edges sharpen, there are a variety of micro-defects in the area of edge, which will accelerate tool wear and shorten tool life. In order to increase tool life and production efficiency, the area of edge strengthen was needed. In this paper, the electrolysis technology was used to enhance the cutting edge of high-speed steel(HSS) tap, the rounding of the edge region of the forming edge and surface morphology of cutting edge were investigated. And the tapping tests were carried on the Ti6Al4V. The results showed that electrolysis enhanced technology can eliminate the defects, invert a circular edge and improve the tool edge strength. The original tap was worn rapidly in the early stages of wear and the cutting force was changed big variation. The results showed that tap strengthened can reduce tool wear and improve tool life.
