Effect of High-Pressure Coolant Supply on Chip-Breaking and Tool Wear in Machining of Stainless Steel

Abstract:

The high-pressure coolant supply cutting has attracted attention from a viewpoint of chip evacuation and tool life. In this study, the influence of high-pressure coolant supply on chip shape, cutting force and tool wear were investigated. The tests were carried out during external turning of stainless steel with cemented carbide cutting inserts. The results suggest that the length and radius of the chips got shorter with high-pressure coolant supply, especially supply pressure more than 5MPa. The cutting force was increase slightly with high-pressure coolant supply. However the thrust force was decrease. The uniform flank wear and crater wear were reduced and tool life was improved by high-pressure coolant supply.
