新型AlTiN涂层钻头高效干式钻削40Cr的开发与试验

针对40cr的高效干钻削,开发了含铝质量百分比分别为40%和55%的AlTiN涂层钻头.通过刀具耐用度、加工表面质量、刀具磨损、切削变形等方面的研究,分析了不同含铝量的涂层对干钻削加工的影响.试验结果表明,AlTiN涂层钻头适合高效干钻削,并能保持良好的加工表面质量,特别是含铝量为55%的涂层,其耐用度在90 m/min的切削速度下是含铝40%涂层的1.3倍.试验还揭示了这两种涂层干钻削的磨损机理:两种AlTiN涂层都出现了氧化磨损,高含铝量的涂层在切削温度下易形成致密的氧化膜,使刀具抗高温性增加并减少涂层剥落,最终以涂层塌陷形式失效;低含铝量涂层刀具以涂层剥落、微崩刃形式失效.同时高含铝量涂层改善了加工过程中的润滑条件.

DEVELOPMENT AND EXPERIMENT OF NEW AlTiN COATED DRILLS FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY DRY DRILLING OF 40Cr

Two new AlTiN coated cemented carbide drills with Al content of 40% and 55% in weight are developed for high efficiency dry drilling of 40Cr. By studying tool durability, machined hole quality, tool wear mechanism, chip deformation, and lubrication, the dry drilling performance of the two kinds of coated drills is analyzed. Experimental results show that the AlTiN coated drills are suitable for high efficiency dry drilling and can obtain higher quality of machined holes. The tool durability of the drill with 55% Al content is 1. 3 times of that of the drill with 40% Al content at the cutting speed of 90 m/min. The wear mechanism of two AlTiN coatings are studied in experiments. During dry drilling process, oxidative wear appears in both two kinds of drills. The oxide film is formed on the top of the coated drill containing Al content of 55%. And the oxide film helps to increase its high temperature resistance and decrease the coating flaking, thus the drill is failed because of coating subsidence. The drill with less Al content is failed due to peeling and breakage. The lubricated condition in dry drilling is improved by the high Al content coating. It helps to reduce the cutting deformation and benefits to improve the quality of machined holes. The AlTiN coating with higher Al content shows longer tool life and higher quality of machined holes in high efficiency dry drilling. Its tool life increases by 30% compared with that of the coating with less Al content.
