Tool Materials for Turning Specialized Stainless Steels

The article considers the issues of increasing the tool durability when turning specialized hard-to-work corrosion-resistant stainless steels 09Kh17N7Yu, 12Kh18N10T and 13Kh15N5AM3 with standard replaceable carbide tip. To develop recommendations for reducing tool consumption, a number of experimental and simulation studies was performed. The simulation was performed in the Deform software for three parameters: temperature, stress, and strain. The simulation results are compared with the operational parameters (wear of the tool material). Simulation was performed for ten different coatings on a hard-alloy substrate of the VK8 brand. The tool hard alloy VK8 is used as the base tool material, the other tool materials differ in the architecture (design, composition, structure and coating method) of the coatings applied to the VK8 substrate. The techniques of selecting the most rational tool materials are developed. The results obtained by simulation are verified experimentally. A good agreement between the results of simulation and experimental research has been achieved.
