The Effect of Grain Size and Cobalt Content on the Wear of Ultrafine Cemented Carbide Tools

Abstract:

This work contributes to a better understanding of wear mechanisms of ultrafine cemented carbide cutting tools used in turning operation of superalloy and high strength steels at high cutting speeds. The main objective of this work is to verify the influence of grain size and the cobalt content of ultrafine cemented carbide tools on tool life and tool wear mechanism. The main conclusions are that grain size and the cobalt content of ultrafine cemented carbide tools strongly influence tool life and tool wear involve different mechanisms. The wear mechanisms of different grain size and the cobalt content of ultrafine cemented carbide tools observed on the rake face at these conditions were adhesion and notch, at the end of tool life, adhesion was the main wear mechanism at higher cutting speeds.
