TLDR
The primary wear modes of PCBN cutting tools are identified and the many theories proposed to explain the mechanisms contributing to PCBN tool wear and failure are discussed.
Abstract
The use of polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) cutting tools in hard turning applications is continuously growing with the number of commercially available grades increasing, allowing new application areas to be explored. In order to take full advantage of the benefits offered by PCBN it is necessary to understand the behaviour of the material in application. Tool behaviour is influenced by many factors which include the composition of the PCBN material, the steel workpiece, the nature of the cutting operation, the cutting conditions and the tool geometry. The focus of this paper is the continuous turning of hardened steels. A significant amount of research has been carried out in this area and a literature review of the relevant work is presented. This identifies the primary wear modes and discusses the many theories proposed to explain the mechanisms contributing to PCBN tool wear and failure. The final section of the paper considers the critical factors that influence the behaviour of PCBN tools in continuous hard turning and how this knowledge can be applied to optimise tool performance.
