Abstract
This paper reports on the performance of coated carbide tools in turning wood-chip cement board. The coating materials studied were titanium carbonitride (TiCN), titanium nitride (TiN), chromium nitride (CrN), and titanium nitride/aluminum nitride (TiN/AlN), which were synthesized on the P30 carbide substrate. The aim is to investigate the effect of coating materials and cutting speeds on the wear characteristics of the coated carbide tools. Cutting tests were performed when turning wood-chip cement board at cutting speeds of 30, 40, 50 and 60 m/s, a depth of cut of 1mm, and a feed of 0.05 mm/rev. The results of the study show that the coated carbide tools provided better performance than the P30 carbide tool, especially in terms of reducing the progression of the wear rate and clearance wear. The TiN/AlN-coated carbide tool showed the smallest increase in both wear rate and clearance wear with an increase in cutting speed and had the longest tool life among the coated carbide tools investigated. Though the TiCN-coated carbide tool was observed to have a low wear rate and low clearance wear for cutting speeds of 30 and 40m/s, when the cutting speeds were >50m/s its wear rate and clearance wear were almost the same as those of CrN-and TiN-coated carbide tools, which had high values for these parameters.
