Abstract

The cutting tool heats up during the cutting of high-performance super alloys and it negatively affects the life of the cutting tool. Improved tool life can enhance both the machinability and sustainability of the cutting process. To improve the tool life preferably cutting fluids are utilized. However, the majority of cutting fluids are non-biodegradable in nature and pose harmful threats to the environment. It has been established in the metal cutting literature that introducing microgrooves at the cutting tool rake face can significantly reduce the coefficient of friction (COF). Reduction in the COF promotes anti-adhesive behavior that improves the tool life. The current study numerically investigates the orthogonal cutting process of AISI 630 Stainless Steel using different micro grooved cutting tools. Results of the numerical simulations point to the positive influence of micro grooves on tool life. The results of the main effects found that the cutting temperature was decreased by approximately 10% and 7% with rectangular and triangular micro grooved tools, respectively. Over machining performance indicated that rectangular micro groove tools provided comparatively better performance.

Summary

Introduction

Several researchers have focused their work to explore the machining performance of microtextured tools. Micro-textured tools were made by the laser texturing technique and nano particles were prepared with 30% solid content By applying these conditions experimentally, the study found around a 50% reduction in the cutting force and the same for the surface roughness of the material. Studied the derivative cutting of the material It occurred when machining is performed at the bottom side of the chip, and it hindered the effectiveness of the textured the tool under the dry cutting condition. The texture effect was studied by changing the different machining parameters, such as cutting speed and feed. Ma et al [19] developed a finite element simulation to compare the performance of the micro bump textured tool with the normal or non-textured tools when machining AISI 1045 steel. The current study investigated the performance of micro-textured tools using triangular and rectangular textures for the machining of AISI 630 stainless steel
