Abstract
AbstractMachining, the art of processing materials, has progressed significantly over the past century. Advances in tool materials look at blended advantages of conventional and modern tool materials through coatings at micro-scales. Tool coatings improve the hot hardness and wear resistance of tool tip and faces. The current study utilizes the Taguchi technique to analyze the deformation response of HSS tools with three different tool coatings—titanium carbide, titanium nitride and titanium aluminum nitride. The coating thicknesses of 10, 50 and 100 $$\upmu$$
μ
m were employed on the rake face and the flank faces of the single-point cutting tool. The response of the tools while machining medium carbon steel 42CrMo4 has been studied using the finite element approach—transient structural analysis module on ANSYS®. The tool deformation was taken up as the key metric.
