Milling plays a significant role in the machining of aluminum alloy parts. However, in the milling process, the material easily adheres to the tip of the milling tool due to the high ductility and thermal deformation of the aluminum alloy; the machining efficiency and quality are hard to further improve. Hence, in order to promote the machining performances, three textures (linear, wavy, and micropitted) are prepared, respectively, on rake face of milling tools using the laser processing system. Then, milling load, top-burrs, and surface quality are chosen to discuss the machining performance of textured milling tools. In particular, the top-burrs are investigated by relative area ratio of top-burrs (RARB) which is calculated from the micrograph after binarization. The obtained results evidently show that the wavy textured milling tool reduces the milling load by an amount of 10.7% compared to the nontextured milling tool. This is due to the smaller contact area that reduces the internal friction of the tool-chip contact area and thus reduces the load. And surface roughness improves by an amount of 23.8% because the wavy texture has the largest proportion of the unit area, and it can effectively improve the storage capacity of debris. Therefore, the wavy texture proposed in this research is of great reference value for the optimization of the machining performance of the milling tool.

The broaching tool is an efficient and precisely heavy-loaded metal-cutting tool, widely used in the mass production of key components related to the aerospace and automobile industries. However, the heavy load, intense squeezing, and friction in the tool-chip contact area prevent the cutting fluid from entering the desired location. Consequently, insufficient lubrication gives rise to a high-temperature built-up edge, thereby lowering machining accuracy and efficiency. To reduce frictional force, three textures (i.e., micro-pit, stripe, mesh) are prepared on the rake face of broaching tool with laser processing technique. Afterward, textured grooves are covered with copper using the reciprocating rotational friction; this artifact enhances the system’s wettability and heat dissipation ability. Experiments approve that compared to the non-textured cutting teeth, the cutting force with the stripe-textured teeth is reduced by 7.6%. Nevertheless, the cutting force is decreased by 14.6% after covering the tool surface with copper. Obtained results indicate that the wettability of cutting fluid on the surface is improved. In addition, convex peaks on the tool surface are passivated during the reciprocating rotation of the copper bar.
