Observations on Orthogonal Cutting Processes - Effect of Friction between Tool and Work Material -

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, orthogonal cutting tests of alloy steel, aluminum alloy and Ti6Al4V have been carried out to consider the cutting mechanism from the viewpoint of friction between the tool and workpiece. The cutting processes were observed in detail using a high-speed video camera. The cutting process of alloy steel was greatly affected by its tribological properties compared with those of the other two work materials. In the cutting process of alloy steel, there were three stages in relation to the state of the tool rake face and temperature. The difference between non coated and coated tools was marked in the later stages. From the discussion on the experimental results, it is considered that the thrust force is suitable for representing the tribological properties between the tool and workpiece. It is concluded that the orthogonal cutting test is a good method for evaluating tribological properties between the tool and workpiece.
