Analysis of the methodology for reducing internal stresses in replaceable cutting inserts
Incoming article date: 17.02.2022Increasing the accuracy and quality of the surface layer of the product with minimal time and economic costs is the number one task of any engineering production, for this high-precision cutting is used. Overestimation of cutting conditions leads to an increase in contact loads acting on the cutting insert of the tool, which in turn affects the performance of this cutting tool and leads to a decrease in the efficiency of its use. It has been established that under production conditions, the failure of the cutting tool due to the destruction of cutting plates with different sections is 80-85%. The solution is to reduce bending stresses by reducing the area of coverage, thereby reducing the wave of deflection under load that the cutting wedge experiences. Also in the studies, the results of the dependence of deflections on the angle of coverage of the plate were obtained using analytical calculations and approximated in the form of a graph. The ideal angle for wrapping the plate is close to 2α = 100°, where deflections are practically absent (minimum). The article considers the possibility of confirming the correlation of stress propagation in a round insert during turning. The results of the calculation show that the bending moment at the place of application of the load also increases with an increase in the angle of coverage of the plate, as in the case described by the studies during milling. Thus, the correlation of stress propagation during processing with a round insert during milling and turning is confirmed.
