Research of the mechanism and development of the wear model of a diamond tool when turning aluminum-matrix composite materials

详细

The results of a study of the wear mechanism of diamond tools for turning aluminum-matrix composite materials (ACMs) hardened by Al₂O₃, SiC, and B₄C particles are presented. The study of the posterior surface topography of a diamond tool (ASPK-2) shows the presence of parallel scratches in the direction of the vector of the cutting speed; it is characteristic of abrasive wear fatigue. Research on the mass-transfer of the elements of the tool material into the chips of the treated material is carried out; it shows the presence of particles of the tool material of a size comparable to the ACM filler microparticles. The model of the abrasive-wear fatigue of a diamond tool during the turning of ACMs, considering the power of the impact of the reinforcement particles, the hardness of the tool depending on the temperature in the cutting zone, the abrasiveness, and the mass fraction of the dispersed particles reinforcing the matrix and tool geometry is proposed.
