Resumen
The GH4169 superalloy has the characteristics of high strength, strong thermal stability, large specific heat capacity, small thermal conductivity, etc., but it is also a typical hard-to-cut material. When cutting this material with ordinary cutting tools, the cutting force is large, and the cutting temperature is high, which leads to severe tool wear and short service life. In order to improve the performance of tools when cutting GH4169, reduce the cutting temperature, and extend the service life of the tool, micro-textured tools were used to cut GH4169 in spray cooling. The effects of micro-texture morphology and dimensional parameters on cutting temperature were analyzed. Firstly, tools with micro-textures of five different morphologies were designed near the nose on the rake face of the cemented carbide tools. The three-dimensional cutting models of the micro-textured tools with different morphologies were established by using ABAQUS, and a simulation analysis was carried out. Compared with the non-textured tools, the micro-texture morphology with the lowest cutting temperature was selected according to the simulation results of the cutting temperature. Secondly, based on the optimized morphology, tools with micro-textures of different size parameters were designed. When cutting GH4169, the cutting temperature of the tools was simulated and analyzed, and the size parameters of the micro-textured tools with the lowest cutting temperature were selected as well. Finally, the designed micro-textured tools were processed and applied in cutting experiments. The simulation model was verified in the experiments, and the influence of size parameters of micro-textures on the cutting temperature was analyzed. This paper provides a theoretical reference and basis for cutting GH4169 and the design and application of micro-textured tools.
