Influence of Cutting Tool Edge Preparation on Cutting Force and Surface Integrity

Abstract

The tool edge preparation has a significant influence on the quality of the workpiece surface, the stability of the cutting process and the tool life. In order to investigate the effect of the tool edge preparation, the impact on the cutting force components, the roughness and the residual stress is analyzed through the response surface methodology. The paper presents experimental results of turning tests with different edge radius and changing the cutting speed, the feed amount per tooth, the axial depth, and the radial depth. The research results will put forward theoretical value and practical significance to develop the processing technology of high-speed and efficient cutting, improve the metal cutting theory and prompt the development of the manufacture industry.
