Key Insights into Performance of Textured Single Point Cutting Tool towards using Metal Matrix Composite: A Conceptual

Abstract

Cutting tools play a crucial role in manufacturing industries. Currently, research is being conducted on using textured tools on various metal matrix composites to enhance tool life and improve machining quality. Experimental studies are being carried out by creating textured patterns such as grooves, dimples, concave, linear and convex textures on carbide tips. These studies demonstrate that textured single-point cutting tools exhibit improved tool life, reduced cutting forces, and enhanced lubrication capabilities. Good machining performance has been achieved using textured single-point cutting tools with various parameters. This study will be beneficial in improving tool life and enhancing cutting performance on aluminium metal matrix composite alloys using carbide-tipped tools.
