F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
When selecting tool materials, consider the hardness of the workpiece, cutting conditions, and type of machining. Carbide tools are suitable for harder metals, while HSS (High-Speed Steel) tools are better for general metalworking.
Tool heating may be caused by excessive cutting speed or insufficient coolant. It is recommended to reduce the cutting speed and ensure adequate coolant supply. Use the appropriate coolant to effectively dissipate heat.
Tool life depends on various factors such as the material being cut, process parameters, frequency of use, and cutting depth. Proper adjustment of cutting conditions and regular maintenance can significantly extend tool life.
Tool coatings primarily provide wear resistance, oxidation resistance, and reduced friction. Common coatings like TiN and TiAlN improve the tool’s heat resistance and extend its service life.
Tool chipping may be caused by incorrect cutting parameters, insufficient cooling, or excessive cutting forces. Check and adjust the cutting conditions, optimize feed rates, and ensure effective coolant usage. If the issue persists, consider replacing or resharpening the tool.
