Effects of Cutting Speed when Turning Age Hardened Inconel 718 with PCBN Tools of Binderless and Low-CBN Grades

Bushlya, Volodymyr LU ; Gutnichenko, Oleksandr LU ; Zhou, Jinming LU ; Avdovic, Pajazit and Ståhl, Jan-Eric LU (2013) In Machining Science and Technology 17(4). p.497-523
Abstract
Application of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) tools as an alternative for ceramic and cemented carbide tools in machining superalloys has been frequently identified as a solution for enhancing process efficiency but only a limited number of studies has been done in this area. The current study explores the effect of the cutting speed, which was varied in a wide range (2-14m/s), on machinability of age hardened Inconel 718 with PCBN tools. Performance of binderless PCBN grade and grade with low-cBN content was evaluated in terms of tool life, tool wear, cutting forces and surface quality. Chip formation and process dynamics were analyzed as well. It was found that low-cBN grade provided 70-90% better surface finish and tool life... (More)

Performance of binderless PCBN grade and grade with low-cBN content was evaluated in terms of tool life, tool wear, cutting forces and surface quality. Chip formation and process dynamics were analyzed as well. It was found that low-cBN grade provided 70-90% better surface finish and tool life than the binderless at moderate speeds (5-8m/s). Performance of both grades at low and high speed ranges was non-satisfactory due to notching and flaking respectively. At low cutting speed adhesive wear plays a major role while as the speed increases a chemical wear becomes dominant. (Less)
