Modeling notch wear of ceramic tool in high speed machining of Nickel-based superalloy

Abstract

On the basis of theoretical analyses and calculations of high speed continuous impact force and tool notch surface temperature acted upon by burr and serrated chip edge, a notch wear model of low stress value and temperature impact fatigue was established. Saw-tooth-shaped burr and fin-shaped chip edge continuously impacts the rake face and flank face at high speed and high frequency, which results in a V-shaped notch wear. An experiment was done to validate that the saw-tooth-shaped burr does affect the notch wear. This model can be utilized to solve reasonably many problems that cannot be explained by any other theoretical assumptions.
