Abstract
- Failure patterns of coated carbide tool were investigated by high-speed face milling of the hardened steel SKD11. Tool failure surface morphology, cutting force and machined surface roughness were also analyzed to reveal the failure mechanisms. The results indicated that the dominant failure pattern of coated carbide tool was breakage. The primary mechanism of tool breakage was fatigue fracture. Under different cutting speeds, the distinctive morphologies of fatigue fracture were presented on the failure surfaces. At low cutting speeds, many fatigue sources were observed on the rake face. The distance between fatigue sources and tool nose was approximately two times of the depth of cut. With the increase of cutting speed, the fatigue striations and riven patterns were observed at the fracture surface. In addition, the fatigue steps and crack deflection were found under high cutting speeds. The main fracture mode was intergranular fracture at lower cutting speeds. However, it was transgranular fracture at higher cutting speeds. Furthermore, the irregular fracture surfaces at low cutting speeds and at high cutting speeds contribute to a larger cutting force increment compared with the medium cutting speeds. The increment of surface roughness in the initial and severe wear stages was lower than that in the steady wear stage, while the deviation of surface roughness was relatively large.
