IDENTIFICATION OF FRICTION AND HEAT PARTITION MODEL AT THE TOOL-CHIP-WORKPIECE INTERFACES IN DRY CUTTING OF AN INCONEL 718 ALLOY WITH CBN AND COATED CARBIDE TOOLS

S u m m a r y This paper aims at characterizing the frictional behaviour at the cutting tool-workmaterial interface during the dry machining of a Inconel 718 in its aged state with various coated carbide tools and c-BN tools. A specially designed open tribometer has been used to characterize friction coefficient, heat partition coefficient under extreme conditions corresponding to the ones occurring in cutting. The tribometer provides the evolution of the apparent friction coefficient and of the heat partition coefficient for a large range of sliding velocity and contact pressure. It has been shown that friction coefficient as well as heat partition coefficient decrease with sliding velocity or contact pressure. A threshold effect of the contact pressure has been highlighted. On the contrary, any sensitivity to coatings deposited on carbide has been observed, whereas c-BN leads to very low friction coefficients .
