Wear Performance of Ti-Al-N Coated and Cryogenically Treated Cermet Tools While Machining Aisi 4340 Steel

Abstract:

This research work presents the results of an experimental investigation on wear study of cermet cutting tools during machining of AISI 4340 steel (45 HRC). The cryogenic treatment and Ti-Al-N coating were performed over cermet inserts substrate. The four different cermet inserts such as cryogenically treated (Tool 2), cryogenically treated and subsequently Ti-Al-N coated (Tool 4), Ti-Al-N coated (Tool 3) and plain cermet (Tool 1) were taken. Experiments were performed to evaluate the tool wear at different machining conditions. Result indicated that cryogenically treated and subsequently Ti-Al-N coated cermet cutting tool performs better than other cermet cutting tools.
