Performance of Y-TZP-Al2O3 composite ceramics in dry high-speed turning of thermally hardened steel 0.4 C-Cr (AISI 5135)

OBRABOTKAMETALLOV MATERIAL SCIENCE Том 23 № 3 2021 EQUIPMEN . INSTRUM TS Vol. 7 No. 2 2025 Conclusions 1. Performance tests have shown the promising use of ceramic powder of TZ-3Y20AB (Y-TZP-Al2O3) grade, obtained by the technology of cold isostatic pressing followed by high temperature free sintering, for manufacturing of cutting inserts RNGN 120400-01 for turning hardened steel AISI 5135 (HRC 43–48). 2. It is not advisable to use the following cutting modes due to the short-term operation of the cutting edge of the cutting insert: V > 200 m/min; S > 0.4 mm/rev; t > 0.2 mm. The use of an insert with a blunt edge ensures stable turning on a cutting path of at least 3,300 mm when using the following cutting modes: V = 200 m/min; S = 0.25 mm/rev; t = 0.1 mm 3. Electron microscopy of wear and fracture sites demonstrates the dominant mechanism of brittle fatigue fracture caused by the thermal cycling effect of friction and tangential stresses in the cutting region. 4. The Y-TZP-Al2O3 ceramic composition is suitable for use as a tool material intended for dry high-speed turning of heat-treated steels of increased hardness. However, it is necessary to conduct comprehensive studies formalizing the effect of machining modes on the durability and roughness of machined surfaces both when cutting hard steels and wear-resistant cast irons.
