Abstract

Abstract:

To explore the reasons for the difference in the texture direction in improving the tool performance， firstly， the effect of the texture on the cutting force was analyzed， as well as the mechanism of texture direction on the derivative cutting. Secondly， the textures with different directions were fabricated by laser texturing techniques. The cutting performances of the textured tool were compared in terms of cutting force， cutting temperature， tool wear， workpiece surface roughness， and chip morphology. The results showed that the performance of the textured tool is determined by both the reduced tool‑chip contact area and the derivative cutting due to the textures. The texture direction has a large effect on the derivative cutting. The cutting performance of the tool with a smaller textured tilted angle is optimal， with maximum reductions in cutting force， cutting temperature， and workpiece surface roughness of 13.2%， 16.7%， and 3.76%， respectively， compared to the untextured tools.
