Wear of Coated Tungsten Carbide Tool In Cutting H.S. Steel Ⅺ

In last part we know that the tool wear mechanism and cutting temperature of tungsten carbide tools in the cutting speed range from 0.50 m/s to 1.00 m/s are similar. And this part we come to get a final conclusion based on the above experiments and analysis.

4. Conclusion

In this study, to clarify the effectiveness of aluminum-chromium coating film for cutting hardened sintered steels, tool wear was experimentally investigated. The hardened sintered steel was   turned with an aluminum-chromium based coated tungsten carbide tool according to a physical vapor deposition (PVD) method. Moreover, the tool wear of the aluminum-chromium based coated item was compared with that of the (Ti,Al)N coated tools.

The main results obtained are as follows:
1) The wear progress of the (Al,Cr)N coated cemented tungsten carbide tool was slower than that of the (Ti,Al)N coated cemented tungsten carbide tool.
 
2) Because the (Al,Cr)N coating film exhibited both higher hardness and higher oxidation temperature, the wear progress of the (Al,Cr)N coated cemented carbide became slower.
