What are the causes of blade wear in cutting? How to deal with it?(I)

pcd and pcbn cutting tools

 

Flank wear

 

1. Rapid wear results in poor or out-of-tolerance surface quality.

 

Reason:

* Excessive cutting speed

* Insufficient wear resistance

* Feeding too low

 

Solution:

* Reduce cutting speed (VC)

* Choose materials with higher wear resistance

* Raise the feed (fz)

 

2. Excessive wear leads to short tool life

 

Reason:

* Vibration

* Chip recutting

* Burrs form on parts

* Surface poor quality

* generate heat

 

Solution:

* Raise feed (FZ)

* Adopt suitable milling

* Use compressed air for effective chip removal

* Check the recommended cutting parameters

 

3. Uneven wear causes damage to sharp corners

 

Reason:

* Tool run out

* Vibration

* Short tool life

* Surface poor quality

* loud noise

 

Solution:

* Reduce the runout amount to less than 0.02mm

* Check collet and collet

* Minimize tool overhang

* Use fewer teeth for cutting

* Choose a larger tool diameter

* For solid carbide end mills and replaceable head mills, select groove types with larger helical Angle (GP ≥45°)

* Divide axial depth (AP) into multiple cutting knives

* Reduced feed (FZ)

* Improve tool and workpiece clamping

 

Crater wear

Excessive wear results in reduced cutting edge strength. A broken cutting edge results in poor surface quality

Reason:

The cutting temperature of the front blade surface is too high, which leads to diffusion wear

 

Solution:

* Choose the alumina coating material

* Choose the groove shape of front Angle blade

* Lower the speed to get a lower temperature, and then lower the feed
