Novel cutting tools having micro textured surface for steel cutting

摘要

In order to improve wear resistance of cutting tools in the steel cutting, cutting tools with periodical stripe-grooved surfaces on their rake face have been developed in our study. In this paper, several cutting tools with various texture dimensions were fabricated and the detailed relationship between the texture dimensions and the wear resistance was investigated. Also, the influence of the cutting conditions, such as cutting speeds and the presence or absence of the fluid supply, on the optimal texture dimension was evaluated in order to provide guidelines for developing tools with textured surfaces.
