Some Investigations on High Speed Dry Machining of Aerospace Material Inconel 718 Using Multicoated Carbide Inserts

摘要

It has been observed that considerable attention has been given to the use of cBN and/or ceramic tools for achieving better performance in the machining of superalloy Inconel 718. However, their cost limits the use in the engineering applications. In this article, the performance of multicoated TiN/TiAlN (PVD) coated and TiN/Al₂O₃/TiCN (CVD) coated tungsten carbide tools were investigated while high speed turning (HST) of superalloy Inconel 718. The effect of coating materials on cutting force, cutting temperature, vibration, and acoustic emission were recorded, analyzed, and reported. From the experimental results it has been found that TiN/Al₂O₃/TiCN (CVD) coated tool outperformed the TiN/TiAlN (PVD) coated tool in terms of machinability parameters such as cutting force and cutting temperature. From the fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis of the vibration signals it was observed that the vibrations were less in case of the CVD coated tool than in case of the PVD coated tool.View full textDownload full textKeywordsCoating, HST, Inconel 718Related var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/10426914.2011.654158
