An Investigation of Forces and Tool Wear in Milling of Ni3Al-Base Superalloy

Article Preview

Abstract:

This article studies the forces and tool wear behavior in the milling process of Ni3Al-base superalloys with cemented carbide cutting tools. The effects of cutting parameters on the machinability of these superalloys are experimentally discussed. The results indicate that the forces increase with the increase of the axial depth of cut, the radial depth of cut and the feedrate per tooth. The cutting tools wear rapidly in the milling process of Ni/Al superalloys. The cemented carbide cutting tool with TX coating is more suitable for machining Ni/Al superalloys when compared with the tool with TiCN coating.
