Study Notes
Cryogenic Machining of Inconel 718
- Effect of Cryogenic Cooling on Tool Hardness: Cryogenic cooling significantly decreases the hardness of cemented carbide tools. At 800 °C, the hardness reduction is more than 50% compared to room temperature.
- Elevated Temperatures and Tool Wear: High temperatures at the cutting edge lead to tool impairment, plastic deformation, severe notching, and flank wear.
- Flank Wear: Flank wear is a common wear mechanism in machining, where the cutting edge retreats, which impacts the workpiece accuracy.
- Cryogenic Cooling and Flank Wear: Cryogenic cooling generates larger chip pitch and smaller valley compared to dry and MQL machining. This is attributed to the shear angle influenced by the reduced cutting temperature.
- Cryogenic Cooling and Cutting Force: Cryogenic cooling leads to thicker chip thickness due to reduced shear angle, which can also contribute to higher cutting forces. However, further investigations are needed to correlate chip thickness and force components with shear angle.
- Chip Morphology and Cryogenic Cooling: Cryogenic cooling can influence chip morphology and seration, but further investigation is needed to consider strain hardening and thermal softening behaviors.
- Effect of Cutting Speed: Increasing cutting speed, under constant cooling/lubrication, changes the force components. Cryogenic cooling can reduce force components at higher speeds compared to dry and MQL conditions. This is attributed to tool-chip contact length and tool wear.
- Cryogenic Cooling and Lubrication Effects: Cryogenic cooling can significantly reduce cutting forces. However, the lubrication effects may diminish if too much cryogenic liquid is used, causing a decrease in effective contact between the tool and chip.
- Cryogenic Cooling and Surface Quality: Cryogenic cooling improves the surface quality, especially at higher cutting speeds, due to reduced tool wear and thermal distortion. At lower cutting speeds, some surface defects may occur in dry machining.
- Recommendation: Cryogenic cooling is recommended for machining Inconel 718 at higher cutting speeds. MQL machining is recommended for lower speeds to improve machining performance.
Forces, Chip Morphology, and Cutting Speed
- Effect of Cryogenic Cooling on Cutting Force : Cryogenic cooling affects all three force components. Cryogenic cooling with two nozzles leads to increased cutting force components, so design modifications are necessary to accommodate liquid nitrogen delivery.
- Factors Affecting Chip Morphology: Shear angle and shear localized behavior are key factors in chip morphology, which can be affected by thermal softening, strain hardening, and cutting temperature.
- Chip Flow and Cryogenic Cooling: Cryogenic liquid jets can pressure the tool face, potentially impacting chip flow. At higher speeds, chip flow may override the liquid application pressure.
- High Speed Machining and Lubrication: At high cutting speeds, lubrication effects may diminish.
- Tool Wear and Force Components: Changes in tool wear, especially at the nose of the tool, can contribute to variations in force components.
Summary of Findings
- Cryogenic Cooling : Cryogenic cooling effectively reduces cutting forces and improves surface quality at higher speeds but requires design considerations to accommodate liquid nitrogen delivery.
- MQL Machining: MQL machining is suitable for lower speeds as it can reduce force components and improve surface quality.
- Overall: Cryogenic cooling demonstrates its potential for improved machining performance, but selection of suitable cutting parameters and lubrication methods is crucial.
