Ball-End Milling of Cr12MoV Die Steel Using Ceramic Tool and Cements Carbide Tool

Article Preview

Abstract:

Ball-end milling of Cr12MoV die steel was studied using ceramic and cemented carbide inserts under different cutting conditions. The cutting forces, wear patterns and chip patterns generated using the different cutting tools at the different cutting conditions were investigated using a three component piezoelectric dynamometer and VHX-600E large depth-of-view 3-D scanner. The relationships among the cutting forces, wear patterns and chip patterns were discussed. The results indicated that the cutting forces caused by the ceramic insert were slightly lower than those caused by the cemented carbide insert under the same cutting conditions. For ceramic inserts, effects of cutting conditions on the rake face wear were different from those on the flank wear. The higher wear for the ceramic insert was caused at the lower cutting conditions but the higher wear for the cemented carbide insert was encountered at the higher cutting conditions. The squeezed chip was involved with the higher cutting forces. The sharper cutting edge of the cemented carbide insert was responsible for chip patterns caused by the No. I cutting condition. The effects of cutting conditions on wear patterns were more evident than that on chip patterns.
