| Popis: | The fatigue and wear behavior of PVD coatings on cemented carbide substrates in milling are investigated experimentally and analytically through Finite Elements Method (FEM) simulation of the cutting process. Cutting inserts with different cutting edge radii and at various feedrates were examined. The initiation and progress of the tool failure is depicted through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray microspectral investigations of the used cutting edges. The FEM simulation of the contact between the tool and the workpiece enables a quantitative description of the influence of mechanical stress components on the coating fatigue failure. Hereby critical coating fatigue stresses determined by means of the impact test were considered. The experimental and computational results exhibit quantitatively the effect of tool radius and feed rate on the coating fatigue failure as well as on the overall cutting performance for various substrates and film structures. In order to utilize the superior characteristics of coatings towards improving the cutting performance, it is highly recommended to optimize the cutting insert wedge radius, as well as the cutting conditions. Herewith a premature coating failure and a consequent rapid wear development can be prevented. |
