- 2. Gaurav Mistry 2 ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders Manufacturing Eng. - II What is Cutting Tool? • In the context of machining, a cutting tool or cutter is any tool that is used to remove some material from the work piece by means of shear deformation. • Cutting may be accomplished by single-point or multipoint tools. • Single-point tools are used in turning, shaping, planning and similar operations, and remove material by means of one cutting edge. • Milling and drilling tools are often multipoint tools. It is a body having teeth or cutting edges on it. Grinding tools are also multipoint tools
- 3. Gaurav Mistry 3 Manufacturing Eng. - II What is Tool Holder? • A tool holder is a machining component that holds the tool in place. Its purpose is to hold the tool in place as precisely and firmly as possible. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders

- 6. Gaurav Mistry 6 Manufacturing Eng. - II Characteristics of Cutting Tool Materials: 1. Carbon Steel: • Tools of complex form should not be made with carbon steel. • Only applicable for low cutting speeds (about 12 m/min) since its hardness is substantially reduced at temperature above 190-200 degree C. 2. Alloy Steel: • Compared to plain carbon steel it has 5% alloy content consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, chromium and vanadium in addition. • It has medium performance between plain carbon and high speed steels. • They loose their required hardness at temperature from 250 to 350 degree C. 3. High Speed Steels: • They have high red hardness, high wear resistance to retain cutting property up to 600 – 620 degree C. • 18-4-1 HSS: 18 % tungsten, 4% chromium and 1% vanadium with carbon of 0.6 – 0.7 % • Cobalt HSS/Super HSS: cobalt is added from 2 to 15 % to increase hot hardness and wear resistance along with tungsten, chromium and vanadium. • Molybdenum HSS: (6% tungsten/6% molybdenum) i.e. little % of tungsten is compensated by addition of molybdenum. Excellent toughness and cutting ability. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders
- 7. Gaurav Mistry 7 Manufacturing Eng. - II Characteristics of Cutting Tool Materials: 4. Stellite: • It is non ferrous alloy with range of elements: 40 – 48 % cobalt, 30 – 35 % chromium and 12 – 19 % tungsten. Carbon is added to 1.8 – 2.5 %. • They cannot be forged to shape. • They preserve hardness up to 1000 degree C. • Can be operated at cutting speed 2 times higher than HSS. • Not widely used for metal cutting since they are very brittle, however used extensively in some non metal cutting applications like rubbers, plastics where loads are gradually applied. 5. Cemented Carbides: • The name is for they are composed principally of carbon mixed with other elements. • Tungsten carbide is mixed with cobalt. Also boron, titanium and tantalum are also used to form carbides. • Carbide tools are made by brazing or silver – soldering. • Cemented carbides have high heat & wear resistance, high compressive strength. • Types: Tungsten type cemented carbide and Titanium – tungsten type cemented carbide. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders
- 8. Gaurav Mistry 8 Manufacturing Eng. - II Characteristics of Cutting Tool Materials: 6. Ceramics: • Aluminium oxide powder is compacted in a mould at about 28 MN/𝑚2 and sintered (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sintering) at 2200 degree C. • Hot pressing are more expensive then above cold pressing due to higher mould costs. • Low heat conductivity (so used without a coolant) and high compressive strength. • Also Brittle with low bending strength. • To give increased strength to ceramic tools, often ceramic with a metal bond known as cermet's is used. 7. Diamond: • Hardest know material. • Cutting speed about 50 times greater than HSS and at temperature up to 1650 degree C. • It is incompressible, good conductor of heat and has low coefficient of friction. • Suitable for cutting very hard materials such as glass, plastics, ceramics and other abrasive materials. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders
- 9. Gaurav Mistry 9 Manufacturing Eng. - II Special Cutting Tool Materials: 1. Coated Carbides: • By providing 4 – 8 mm thick coating of titanium carbide, titanium nitride by vapour deposition technique, the wear resistance and toughness properties of simple carbide are increased. • Friction is also reduced and it reduces 15 – 20 % of cutting force. • This type of tool enhances metal removal rate and also tool life. 2. UCON: • This material is product of Union Carbide of USA. • Its hardness is 2500 – 3000 Vickers (unit for hardness HV, Vickers Pyramid Number) (Generally measured in pascal, used in Vickers hardness test) • It has best thermal shock resistance, high hardness and toughness. • Highly resistant to diffusion and adhesion wear. • Its life is 4 times that of carbides. • It has limited application to turning, facing and boring. • It is not used for milling, parting and form tools and also for nickel, cobalt and titanium based stainless steel and super alloy. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders
- 10. Gaurav Mistry 10 Manufacturing Eng. - II Special Cutting Tool Materials: 3. Cubic boron nitride (CBN): • It is second in hardness to diamond. • It contain nitrogen and boron. • It has high hardness and thermal conductivity. • It does not react with oxygen. • It does not chemically react with iron even at high temperature. • It is used in grinding wheel for grinding HSS. • It is used for grinding lead screw, splines, threads, ball and roller bearings, cast iron slide ways, etc. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders
- 11. Gaurav Mistry 11 Manufacturing Eng. - II Carbide Insert Tools: Production process: • Carbide inserts or tips are produced from tungsten carbide (WC) or cobalt carbide (Co) powder by powder metallurgy using suitable binder. • The required shape is given by moulding. The moulded insert is then machined to necessary sharpness and cutting edge. • Around 1850 HV hardness can be obtained with carbide WC 93% and Co 7%. • When sintered at 1300 – 1600 degree C, becomes extremely strong with hardness almost double the hardness of HSS tools. Need: • Manufacturing of carbon steel and HSS components require carbide tipped tool for their machining operation. • CNC machines require carbide tipped tools for high speed and feed manufacturing process. (where HSS and other material tools cannot be used.) • Large sized heavy duty casting and forgings are machined by carbide tipped tools only. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders
- 12. Gaurav Mistry 12 Manufacturing Eng. - II Carbide Insert Tools: Advantages: • Hardness is double than HSS and carbon steel tools. • Used for high speed and high feed machining and hence increase the production rate. • Very high compressive strength. • Do not wear out easily and hence not needed to be changed frequently. • They can be made smaller size and can conveniently fitted on tool holder. Types of Carbide Tips: • There are two types of carbide tips: I. Brazed tip: This type of tips are brazed on the face of cutting tool. II. Indexable inserts: It is clamped in tool holder. It has more than one cutting edge. It is also known as throw away tips. They are available in Triangular, diamond and square shapes. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders

- 14. Gaurav Mistry 14 Manufacturing Eng. - II Carbide Tool Holders: • Different types of tool holders are used for different types of machining operations. • There are three methods of fixing carbide inserts on tool holders: a. Brazed to the tool. b. Fitted by screw in a given hole. c. Clamped with help of clamp or screw. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders
- 15. Gaurav Mistry 15 Manufacturing Eng. - II General Cutting Tool Parameters: o There are three important parameters: 1. Cutting Speed: The travel of a point on cutting edge relative to the surface of the cut in unit time. • In lathe, when a workpiece of D diameter in mm rotates at a speed of N revolutions per minute, then the cutting speed V is given by V = 𝜋𝐷𝑁 1000 m/min 2. Feed: Also called rate of feed is the amount of tool advancement per revolution of job parallel to the surface being machined. It is expressed as the distance moved by tool in one minute, unit is mm/rev. • Feed depends on depth of cut, rigidity of cutting tool and type of cutting tool material. 3. Depth of Cut: The thickness of layer of metal removed in one cut or pass measured in a direction perpendicular to the machined surface. • It is always perpendicular to the direction of feed motion. • In external longitudinal turning, the depth of cut is half the difference between the work diameter D1 and the diameter of machined surface D2 obtained after one pass. • T = D1 - D2 2 mm. ❑ Cutting Tools & Tool Holders
