Abstract In this paper, we propose a practical texture design on the tool flank face for suppressing chatter vibration and flank adhesion. To avoid chatter vibration during cutting, the process damping phenomena can be utilized, where the tool flank face contacts the surface of a finished workpiece to provide a damping effect. As a new technology for an effective process damping, the tool flank texture-assisted technique has been proposed, and its excellent performance in suppressing chatter vibration has been demonstrated. However, issues that can lead to adhesion and tool damage pose challenges from a practical viewpoint. To overcome such issues, this paper proposes new texture geometries that improve the practical performance: parallel line type, vertical line type, and dot type. The results of a series of finite element analyses showed that the effectiveness of process damping depends on the vibration amplitude and wavelength. The proposed flank textures were fabricated on tool flank faces, and turning tests were carried out. The experimental results showed that the proposed tool is stabler than the conventional untextured tool and that it can more effectively improve the critical cutting speed, reduce the vibration amplitude, and decrease the surface roughness after cutting. With the appropriate design of the texture distance, adhesion and tool damage were hardly observed, and a stable and practical cutting could be realized.
