Abstract

The cutting performance of coated tools can be significantly improved by appropriate post-treatment of coated surface. To determine the effects of micro-abrasive slurry jet (MASJ) and micro-abrasive air jet (MAAJ) on the performance of coated tools, single-factor tests were conducted to investigate the effects of micro-abrasive jet processing parameters on surface roughness of coated tools and thickness of coating removed. Based on the single-factor results, multi-process tests were designed, and two types of coated tools were obtained after micro-abrasive jet post-treatment. Based on the results of wear tests and the effect of cutting parameters on the surface roughness of the turning workpiece, the cutting performance of the three different tools on hardened die steel was evaluated. Turning tests showed that the micro-abrasive jet post-treatments effectively improved the surface morphology of the coating and the surface quality of the coated tools. Under the same machining parameters, the coated tools treated with the MASJ show better cutting performance than the tools post-treated by MAAJ.
