Tool Materials for Turning Machine-Building Stainless Steel 09Kh17N7Yu

Hard-to-process specialized stainless steel grade 09Kh17N7Yu has become widely used in various fields of mechanical engineering due to its unique performance properties. The existing recommendations for its processing are outdated and do not meet modern requirements for the performance of metal-cutting tools. This necessitated the need to develop recommendations for modern high-performance machine tools. The paper presents methods of solving this problem based on the example of turning by typical domestic replaceable hard-alloyed cutting plates. Relationships between the tool wear and the operating time were obtained. Design solutions for tool materials to be used under specified operating conditions were developed. A significant outcome of the paper was the use of simulation modeling in the Deform software environment, which allowed the authors to develop new coatings for the hard alloy VK8, which provided a significant (up to 3 times) increase in tool life. Using modelling, it was also possible to design new tool materials for new or expected operating conditions. The following main criteria sufficient for modeling were identified: tool wear, temperature in the cutting zone, stresses in the tool material and deformation of the tool material. The results obtained can be used as the basis for the so-called data bank, which can be used in production enterprises.
