- The present study concerns an investigation of the wear on three uncoated cemented carbide grades, with differing binder content and grain size, during longitudinal turning of Ti6Al4V as a function of cutting speed. The creater wear at end of tool life is studied in detail using electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. It is observed that decreasing binder content results in slower wear progression and longer tool life. The microstructure of the adhered layer is also dependent on the binder content, where a lower amount of binder results in an increase of dark precipitates in the adhered layer. X-ray diffraction confirms the presence of bcc-W as a chemical wear product at the interface. Diffraction peaks corresponding to cubic (Ti,V)C are also occasionally observed.

- Continuous turning of Ti6AI4V with uncoated WC-Co cutting tool inserts mainly results in crater wear on the rake face of the tool. The crater is located close to the cutting edge and increases in size with increased time in cut. The flank wear remains minor until the point when the crater reaches a critical size so that the edge deforms plastically and edge breakage occurs. To understand the crater wear degradation mechanisms, this study focuses on examining the worn tool at different stages, using both experimental and theoretical techniques, as well as under static and dynamic conditions. A layer of adhered work-piece material is observed in the crater. The present study shows both experimental and theoretical evidence of carbon depletion of the WC in the crater and formation of W (bcc) at the interface during wet continuous longitudinal turning of Ti6AI4V. This has been demonstrated for the first time. In addition, indications of a carbon rich compound, possibly MC, where M=Ti, V and W, are also observed. These observations are verified by simulation of the diffusion process. Furthermore, diffusion simulations indicate that a liquid may form at the tool/chip interface in the crater zone during machining. Turning is a dynamic process, however, to study the chemical driving forces in this system under static conditions, a means of verification of which phases will form is needed. Therefore, a diffusion couple consisting of the same materials is prepared and analyzed. Similar results are obtained for the diffusion couple as for the worn tool, indicating that the chemical wear is an important degradation parameter. The diffusion couple results are also compared to a numerical simulation of the diffusion process.
