In this paper, some experiments were conducted to investigate tool wear when end-milling Inconel 718 with the TiAlN-TiN PVD coated carbide inserts. The worn tools were examined thoroughly under scanning electron microscope (SEM) with Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy and 3D digital microscope to expatiate tool wear morphologies and relevant mechanisms. The flank wear was uniformity in finishing milling process, and the average flank wear were selected as the criterion to study the effects of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed per tooth, radial depth of cut, and axial depth of cut) on tool wear. Finally, the optimal combination of the cutting parameters for the desired tool life is obtained.

Inconel 718 is among the most widely used superalloys in many industries. It is often used in very harsh conditions such as jet engines, combustors and nuclear reactors due to its high strength at elevated temperatures, high oxidation and corrosion resistance. Machining superalloy Inconel 718 has always been a challenging task due to its poor machinability including rapid work hardening, low thermal conductivity, and relatively short cutting tool life. The fast tool wear during cutting Inconel 718 results in longer production time, deteriorated surface integrity, and higher manufacturing cost. In this paper, an on-line optical tool monitoring system integrated with a CNC machine tool has been developed to examine tool wear evolutions in end milling Inconel 718 with PVD (Ti, Al) N/TiN-coated carbide insert. Three basic types of tool wear: flank wear, nose wear, and crater wear were examined and analyzed. A two-parameter method has been proposed to evaluate both flank wear and nose wear vs. cutting time.

Abstract. This paper presents the outcome of a study on heat assisted end milling of Inconel 718 using inducting heating technique conducted to enhance the machinability of the material. The heating temperature maintained below the phase transformation temperature was aimed at softening the top removable material layers. The experimental results of both conventional and heat assisted machining were compared. The machinability of Inconel 718 under these conditions was evaluated in terms of tool life, tool wear morphology and chatter. The advantages of Induction heating is demonstrated by an longer tool life and lower chatter. The study showed that preheated machining facilitates up to 80% increase of tool life over conventional machining conducted using TiAlN coated carbide inserts.

Inconel 718 is a registered trademark of Special Metals Corporation that refers to a family of austenitic nickel-chromium-based super alloys. This material usually being used or operate in high temperature and extreme condition like aerospace industry, turbocharger rotors and seals. This research presents an experimental study of the cutting force variation, surface roughness, tool life and tool wear in end milling Inconel 718. The experimental results showed that flank wear was the predominant failure mode affecting tool life for TiAlN and TiN coated carbide tool. TiAlN is the better coated tool than TiN because it produce better surface finish and resultant force. Feed rate is one of the parameter that effecting results in this experiment. The higher feed rate will shorten the life of the tool. Although for the cutting condition, the situation is quite different where the proper cutting speed will maintain the tool life and tool wear for cutting tool. The overall study shows that TiAlN coated carbide tool with cutting speed 100 m/min, depth of cut 0.5 mm and feed rate 0.1 mm/tooth is the optimum parameter in this experiment.

A comprehensive study and FEM simulation of ball nose end milling on tool wear behavior and chip formation had been performed on Inconel 718 (nickle-based superalloy) under minimum quantity lubricant (MQL) condition. In this paper, the investigation was focusing on the comparison of up-milling and down-milling operations using a multi-layer TiAlN/AlCrN-coated carbide inserts. A various cutting parameters; depth of cut, feed rate and cutting speed were considered during the evaluation. The experimental results showed that down-milling operation has better results in terms of tool wear compared to up-milling operation. Chipping on cutting tool edge responsible to notch wear with prolong machining. It was observed that the chips formed in up-milling operation were segmented and continuous, meanwhile down-milling operation produced discontinuous type of chips.

This paper focuses on an analysis of tool wear and optimum machining parameter in the induction assisted milling of Inconel 718 using high heat coated carbide and uncoated carbide tools. Thermally assisted machining is an effective machining method for difficult-to-cut materials such as nickel-based superalloy, titanium alloy, etc. Thermally assisted machining is a method of softening the workpiece by preheating using a heat source, such as a laser, plasma or induction heating. Induction assisted milling is a type of thermally assisted machining; induction preheating uses eddy-currents and magnetic force. Induction assisted milling has the advantages of being eco-friendly and economical. Additionally, the preheating temperature can be easily controlled. In this study, the Taguchi method is used to obtain the major parameters for the analysis of cutting force, surface roughness and tool wear of coated and uncoated tools under various machining conditions. Before machining experiments, a finite element analysis is performed to select the effective depth of the cut. The S/N ratio and ANOVA of the cutting force, surface roughness and tool wear are analyzed, and the response optimization method is used to suggest the optimal machining parameters.

TiAlN/TiN multilayer PVD coated carbide is one of the dominant tool materials for the turning applications of Inconel 718 due to its high hardness, high wear resistance, and high thermal stability. The results of a thorough investigation on TiAlN/TiN multilayer PVD coated carbide inserts were presented for turning Inconel 718. The tool wear of the PVD coated carbide inserts were tested and analyzed at different cutting speeds from 50m/min to 90m/min and different feed rates from 0.1mm/r to 0.4mm/r. The wear patterns and wear mechanisms of PVD coated carbide were analyzed. Results show that the dominant wear patterns are rake face wear, flank wear, micro-chipping, coating delamination, notch wear, built-up edge and breakage. The main wear mechanisms are adhesion, diffusion, abrasive and oxidation.
