Table 6 Relationship between machining targets and cutting parameters of different coated tools
Coated tools | Machining targets | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Lowest cutting force | Lowest cutting temperature | Minimum specific cutting energy | Lowest surface roughness | |
Thick TiN/TiAlSiN coated tool | High v Low ap Low f | High v Low ap Low f | High v High ap High f | High v Medium ap Low f |
Thin TiN/TiAlSiN coated tool | High v Low ap Low f | High v Low ap Low f | High v High ap High f | High v Medium ap Low f |
nc-TiAlSiN coated tool | High v Low ap Low f | High v Low ap Low f | High v High ap High f | High v Medium ap Low f |
