Metal cutting course

Week 1

▪ Machinability: Metal cutting is one of the most important aspect in industry. Getting
metal cutting processe right means workpiece material, insert geometry and insert
grade must be correct.
There are 6 ISO standard material group -
P-steel
M-stainless steel
K-cast iron
N-non ferrous
S-heat resistant
H-harden material
Factors that must be identified in order to determine a material's machinability – classification
of workpiece, the cutting-edge micro and macro geometry,the cutting tool material (grade).
Workpiece material, hardness, component, applications, condition, cutting environment these
are the parameters which influences cutting parameters.
Design and insert geometry of cutting edge is of vital importane for the chip formation,tool life
and feed rate data in metal cutting.
We can calculate the tangential force using following formula -
Fc = Kc * ap * Fn
The design of modern insert usually have layers of TiN, Al2O3, Ti(C,N). ER treatment gives the
cutting edge the final micro geometry.
Some of the following are cutting tool material:
- Ucoated cemented carbide (HW)
- Coated cemented carbide (HC)
- Cermet (HT,HC)
- Ceramic (CA,CN,CC)
- Cubic boron nitride (BN)
- Polycrystalline diamond.
The two main coating methods are PVD (physical vapour deposition) and CVD (chemical vapour
deposition). Generally PVD is tougher than CVD coating. Total thickness of the PVD is 3 to 6
microns. Main difference between these two is PVD has sharper edge but CVD hasmore wear
resistant edges.
the basic wears that happen on inserts are:
- Flank wear: happens during cutting tool material is lost on the flank face due to friction
against the surface of the work piece material.
Remedy – reduce cutting speed and increase feed.
- Flanking: an adhesive load can develop, where the cutting edge is subjected to tensile
stresses. Remedy - increase cutting speed and selecting insert with a thinner coating.
 4

- Notch wear: chemical wear, growth of adhesive or thermal waer, work hardening burr
formation. Remedy – select smaller entering angle and vary depth of cut.
- Crater wear: result of chip contact with the rake face of the insert. Remedy - reduce
cutting speed and choosing an insert with right geometry.
- Cracks (thermal): comb cracks form as a result of rapid fluctuations in temp. Remedy –
tougher insert grade can be used. Coolant should be applied in large amount or not at
all.
- Fracture: allowing the wear to progress too far leading to increased cutting forces.
Remedy - selecting due wrong cutting data or stability issues in the setup.
- Plastic Deformation: subjected high cutting forces and temp. Resulting stress state,
exceeding the tool materials yield strength and temp. Remedy – using grade with higher
hot hardness, coating.
- Chipping: with chipping insert can still be used.
- Build-up edge: cause due to increase cutting forces, leading to failure or releasing.
Remedy – incrase cutting speed.

Week 3

Manufacturing process of inserts – An typical insert is made up of 80% tungsten carbide and
20% metal matrix. From raw material to final product an insert goes through following
processes -
1. Pressing – this process needs press tools. The is pressed in dies with punches to produce
a basic shape of an insert. Nearly 12 tones of pressure is applied.
2. Shaping – any excessive powder is removed here.
3. Sintering – the pressed inserts are so fragile ad delicate so they needs to be sintered.
The inserts are heated upto 1500 degrees. This reduces the insert volume to half of its
original volume.
4. Blank inspection – this is the visual/computerized inspection process.
5. Periphery grinding – in this grinding process the the main focus is on periphery and
cutting edges.
6. CNC profile grinding – this is a special programming-based grinding.
7. ER treatment (edge rounding) – this is the process to give roundness to sharp edges.
8. Coating process – there are two types of coating: CVD and PVD. Coating is done to give a
long life.
9. Post coating – some special inserts need extra coating.
10. Subcontracting – this is an optional process.
11. Inspection – this is the final inspection which is done manually and with automatic
inspection m/c.
12. Final operation – this includes marking and labeling.
13. Delivery.
