This book presents a balanced blend of fundamental research such as principles and characteristics of machining of difficult-to-cut materials and coating techniques and in-depth practical information on coatings techniques and classifications, the effect of coating parameters on machining responses, and finite element analysis of the machining performance of coated tools. In addition to the benefits of the thin-film deposition on the cutting tools, the limitations of the coating deposition techniques and the coating properties are also discussed.
This book aims at bridging the gap between thin-film characterizations and the application of thin-films for machining difficult-to-cut materials. The book initially introduces the metal cutting operations, chip formation mechanism, cutting tool materials, and different difficult-to-cut materials so as to familiarize the reader with the terminology regarding the metal cutting operation in the subsequent sections. Furthermore, the book speaks about various machining challenges and difficulties taking into account the machining of materials like nickel-based superalloys and hardened steels which are considered difficult to cut.
Later, the coating deposition techniques, namely chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and hybrid deposition processes are elaborated on. This introduction to coating deposition techniques is necessary to understand the properties and behavior of thin-films and their performance during the metal cutting operation. Also, a detailed classification of thin-films has been presented based on the generation, chemical composition, coating architecture/structure, and properties. After the introduction to coating deposition techniques and different coatings, the application of coatings during the machining of difficult-to-cut materials is discussed with the help of examples. The application of thin-films is explored with regard to the applicability of hard and low friction, self-lubricating, hybrid, duplex, and other advanced coating systems during metal cutting processes.
