Experimental investigation of the cutting temperature when turning with coated indexable inserts

1999

Abstract This paper deals with an experimental investigation into the different factors which influence the temperature which occur at the coating/substrate–chip interface when machining a medium carbon steel and an austenitic stainless steel. Both flat-faced and grooved inserts coated with TiC, TiC/TiN and TiC/Al 2 O 3 /TiN were used. A standard K-type thermocouple embedded in the workpiece was used to convert measured efms to the interfacial temperature. Some optimal coating structures for high speed machining of these steels corresponding to the minimum interface temperature were selected. In particular, it was observed that by the proper selection of the thermal properties of the coatin…

Friction behaviour of heat isolating coatings in machining: mechanical, thermal and energy-based considerations

2003

Abstract This paper deals with possible modifications of the frictional behaviour exhibited during the cutting process resulting from the influence of the most-commonly used heat isolating coatings deposited on a WC-Co carbide substrate. For this study, three- and four-layered coatings with intermediate Al 2 O 3 ceramic layer and a monolayer TiAlN coating, which offer superior thermal protection of the carbide substrate, were examined. Orthogonal cutting tests were carried out by end-turning medium carbon steel and austenitic stainless steel workpieces. The experimental study was aimed at determining the fundamental frictional characteristics: dimensions of the tool-chip contact area, the f…

The role of coatings in controlling the cutting process when turning with coated indexable inserts

1998

Abstract This paper is concerned with the variations in the specific cutting pressure and the tool–chip interface temperature that occur when machining a medium carbon steel and an austenitic stainless steel with TiC-, TiC/TiN- and TiC/Al2O3/TiN- coated inserts. Extensive experimental studies involving the cutting force and the interface temperature were performed. A standard thermocouple embedded in the workpiece was used to determine the cutting temperature. Two new parameters were introduced in order to compare both the mechanical and thermal loadings of the tool–chip contact for coated flat-faced and grooved inserts. Some optimal coating structures for high speed machining of these stee…

Study of Coating/Work Material Interaction in Turning with Chip Forming Inserts

1997

This paper presents some interesting and novel results of an experimental study on the influence of the coating structure on the behaviour of the tribo-contact between the tool and the chip. The experiments involved TiC, TiC/TiN and TiC/Al2O3/TiN — coated flat-faced and grooved inserts in conjunction with a medium carbon steel and an austenitic stainless steel. Extensive experimental studies involving the cutting force and the tool-chip interface temperature were carried out. Two new parameters were introduced in order to compare both the mechanical and thermal loadings of the tool-chip contact for the two shapes of the rake face. Some optimal coating structures for high speed machining of …

Thermal Characterization of the Chip-Tool Interface When Using Coated Turning Inserts

2000

Abstract This paper reports some results of extensive experimental investigations of the thermal interactions between the coating/substrate and the moving surface of the chip. Semi-orthogonal cutting when bar turning a medium carbon steel and an austenitic stainless steel was carried out. Both flat-faced and grooved inserts coated with TiC, TiC/TiN, and TiC/Al 2 O 3 /TiN were tested. A standard K-type thermocouple embedded in the workpiece was used to convert measured efm's to the interfacial temperatures. In addition, the chiprake contact length and the area of contact were determined by using computer processing of scanned contact images. The minimum steady-state temperature at the interf…

Thermogalvanic corrosion of Alloy 31 in different heavy brine LiBr solutions

2012

Thermogalvanic corrosion generated between two electrodes of Alloy 31, a highly-alloyed austenitic stainless steel (UNS N08031), has been investigated imposing different temperature gradients in three deaerated LiBr solutions, under open circuit conditions by using a zero-resistance ammeter (ZRA). Besides EIS spectra were acquired in order to explain the obtained results. On the whole, cold Alloy 31 electrodes were anodic to hot Alloy 31 electrodes, since an increase in temperature favoured the cathodic behaviour of the hot electrode. Thermogalvanic corrosion of Alloy 31 in the LiBr solutions studied was not severe, although it negatively affects the corrosion resistance of the cold anode. …

Positron Annihilation Study of Defects Induced by Various Cutting Methods in Stainless Steel Grade 304

2011

We report in this article the comparison of the subsurface zones (SZs) in austenitic stainless steel 304 samples created by three cutting techniques, i.e., the laser cutting (LC), abrasive water jet (AWJ), and traditional milling cutting (MC). The crystal lattice defects distribution in this zone were investigated using the positron annihilation method. It was shown that the MC creates the great number mainly edge dislocations decorated by vacancies. Their concentration decreases with the increase of the depth from the cut surface. The total depth of the SZ is extended up to 150 μm from the cut surface. Similar dependency was observed for the AWJ machining but the total depth is much lower,…

Evolution of microstructures and mechanical properties during dissimilar electron beam welding of titanium alloy to stainless steel via copper interl…

2013

Abstract The influence of operational parameters on the local phase composition and mechanical stability of the electron beam welds between titanium alloy and AISI 316L austenitic stainless steel with a copper foil as an intermediate layer has been studied. It was shown that two types of weld morphologies could be obtained depending on beam offset from the center line. Beam shift toward the titanium alloy side results in formation of a large amount of the brittle TiFe2 phase, which is located at the steel/melted zone interface and leads to reducing the mechanical resistance of the weld. Beam shift toward the steel side inhibits the melting of titanium alloy and, so, the formation of brittle…

Passivation-Induced Physicochemical Alterations of the Native Surface Oxide Film on 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel

2019

Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy, X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, in situ Photo-Current Spectroscopy and electrochemical analysis were combined to characterize the physicochemical alterations induced by electrochemical passivation of the surface oxide film providing corrosion resistance to 316L stainless steel. The as-prepared surface is covered by a ~2 nm thick, mixed (Cr(III)-Fe(III)) and bi-layered hydroxylated oxide. The inner layer is highly enriched in Cr(III) and the outer layer less so. Molybdenum is concentrated, mostly as Mo(VI), in the outer layer. Nickel is only present at trace level. These inner and outer layers have band gap values of 3.0 and 2.6-2.7 eV, respe…
