TiAIN을 코팅한 WC공구의 절삭성능에 관한 연구 = Cutting Performance of TiAIN coated WC Insert Tip

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Thin film of TiAlN was deposited onto ISO P20 tungsten carbide cutting insert tip substrate specimen using the FVAS (filtered vacuum arc system) at the substrate temperature of 80℃. Cutting and wear tests have been performed to the TiAlN coated and uncoated WC specimen, respectively under the same cutting conditions for the comparison. Cutting forces and tool wear of coated and uncoated carbide cutting tools were investigated by means of cutting length and cutting forces. Also tool wear and tool life were analyzed using the 3ch tool dynamometer amp lifier and oscilloscope.
In this study cutting tests for the cutting performance of TiAlN coated WC-Co P20 to the steel alloy of SNCN420 have been curried out. Through the comparisons of cutting forces during the cutting tests and tool wear, we got the conclusions as follows.;
① In usual cutting conditions, main cutting force component showed higher value than the thrust force normal to the cutting direction especially cutting forces in the of early stage on cutting tests. But, after loosing the protective hard thin film on substrate or insert tip, the thrust force normal to the cutting direction showed much higher than main cutting force component.
② Within the range of 0.3㎜ build up edge in P20 insert tip, TiAlN coated tip was evaluated more stable in flank wear and less in crater wear than the uncoated specimen.
③ Through the wear growth curve of the specimen, tool life differences of uncoated and TiAlN coated tip at high speed (V=250[m/min]) was higher than the low speed(V=200[m/min]) case, compared to the average but the tool wear was almost same in both specimen for the case of normal wear occurred.
