“…Shells are the outer shells of mollusks living at the water's edge, and their surface calcareous material has excellent properties such as toughness and strength. It is observed that the shell surface has prominent woven structures with two adjacent prominent weaves in an irregular convex ridge and groove structure, and the arrangement, size, and morphology of the weave structures affect the hardness and impact resistance of the surface calcareous material of the shell [33,34], as shown in Figure 6. The grooved micro-texture structure was extracted based on the surface morphology of the shells for the tool surface.…”

Titanium alloy material has physical properties such as low thermal conductivity, high hardness, and surface resilience, which are prone to problems such as large milling force, low machining efficiency, and poor surface quality in processed products during dry milling. This document details our process of isolating micro-textures from biological structures, applying them to cutting tool surfaces to create micro-texture milling cutters, and employing this micro-texture technique to reduce friction and prevent wear on these cutters. According to the milling dosage and the installation position between the tool and the workpiece, the effective working area of the cutting edge of the ball-end milling cutter is calculated. At the same time, a self-lubricating cutter was constructed by using a laser to process micro-textures and filling solid lubricant inside the micro-textures. An analysis was conducted to compare the milling efficiency of bionic microtextured cutters in both dry and micro-lubricated environments. It was found that the self-lubricating tool promoted a 3% to 5% decrease in milling force, a reduction in the coefficient of friction, a high surface finish of the machined workpiece, and an alleviation of chip sticking at the edge area.

“…They found experimentally that the three tools could reduce working resistance. You et al [15] found that the particular microstructure of the blood clam surface makes it resistant to grit erosion and abrasion, so they designed and prepared a cutting tool that mimics the microstructure of the blood clam surface. The cutting tool was designed and fabricated to reduce the friction between tool and chip during cutting, enhance wear resistance and prolong tool life.…”

Along with the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and the arrival of the industrial revolution, the structure of parts is becoming more and more complex, the variety of materials, the demand for cutting performance of tools is increasingly diversified, and the design and development of tools are facing many challenges. By studying the cutting phenomena in nature, scholars have discovered that the teeth and claws, etc., of living organisms have unique structural characteristics, the design and development of tools that mimic the structural features of living organisms have become a new research direction. In order to solve the problem of high energy consumption in the cutting process and to reduce the resistance of the cutting process, five bionic cutting tools were designed based on preparation and geometric feature extraction of limpet teeth and applying them to the design of the tool structure, using the cutting force as the cutting performance index, and exploring the cutting performance of the bionic tools by comparing them with ordinary tools. The cutting force analysis revealed that the No. 2 bionic tool had a significant force-saving effect, with a 16.2% reduction in cutting force. The effect of cutting parameters on the No. 2 bionic tool was investigated through single-factor experiments. The results show that a limpet bionic cutting tool with appropriate dimensional parameters has a significant force-saving effect and improves the tool's cutting performance.

“…In the literature, there have been published works on texturing the surface of cutting tools, in which their effect on friction and wear were studied [ 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ]. These studies showed that this approach allows for improving the tribological properties in the tool–chip interface, reducing the machining temperature, the rate of tool wear and the cutting forces, and consequently obtaining an increase in machining productivity [ 25 ].…”

Machining is an indispensable manufacturing process for a wide range of engineering materials, such as metals, ceramics, and composite materials, in which the tool wear is a serious problem, which affects not only the costs and productivity but also the quality of the machined components. Thus, the modification of the cutting tool surface by application of textures on their surfaces is proposed as a very promising method for improving tool life. Surface texturing is a relatively new surface engineering technology, where microscale or nanoscale surface textures are generated on the cutting tool through a variety of techniques in order to improve tribological properties of cutting tool surfaces by reducing the coefficient of friction and increasing wear resistance. In this paper, the studies carried out to date on the texturing of ceramic and superhard cutting tools have been reviewed. Furthermore, the most common methods for creating textures on the surfaces of different materials have been summarized. Moreover, the parameters that are generally used in surface texturing, which should be indicated in all future studies of textured cutting tools in order to have a better understanding of its effects in the cutting process, are described. In addition, this paper proposes a way in which to classify the texture surfaces used in the cutting tools according to their geometric parameters. This paper highlights the effect of ceramic and superhard textured cutting tools in improving the machining performance of difficult-to-cut materials, such as coefficient of friction, tool wear, cutting forces, cutting temperature, and machined workpiece roughness. Finally, a conclusion of the analyzed papers is given.
