The principal findings are the following: (a) the microstructure inside the ASBs varies from the band center to the normal chip material, the gradient microstructures are found; (b) the HSM can produce two types of ASBs with increasing in cutting speed, the deformed shear bands formed at lower cutting speed and the transformed shear bands formed at higher cutting speed; (c) the very small equiaxed recrystallized grains are observed in the center of the ASBs, the dynamic recrystallization and phase transformation may occur simultaneously during the formation of the transformed ASBs; (d) The dynamic rotational recrystallization is the origin of the equiaxed grains in the center of the ASBs. A microstructural evolution model in ASBs produced during HSM for the harden steel is proposed; (e) the microstructural pattern of fracture surface is characterised by the elongated dimples. A microcosmic adiabatic shear fracture model during HSM of the hardened steel is built up.展开更多

The engagement situation was investigated in great detail using experimental and geometrical analytic measures. Experiments were conducted using A1TiN-coated micro-grain carbide end mill cutters to cut hardened die steel. On the basis, a general high speed hard machining strategy, which aimed at eliminating excessive engagement situation during high-speed machining (HSM) hard machining, was proposed. The strategy includes the procedures to identify prone-to-overload areas where excessive engagement situation occurs and then to create a reliable tool path, which has the effect of cutting load reduction to remove the prone-to-overload areas.展开更多
