Abstract

Tungsten alloy has excellent performance and has been widely used in military, aerospace and nuclear energy, and other cutting-edge industries. However, tungsten alloy has large hardness, high strength, and poor plastic deformation ability, which resulted in high cutting force and serious tool wear during the cutting process, leading to low surface quality of the workpiece after molding. Therefore, it is of great significance to strengthen the research on tungsten alloy cutting technology to promote the development of tungsten alloy application. Firstly, the research progress of tungsten alloy cutting process technology has been systematically reviewed, and the current status of cutting parameters optimization, new cutting methods and devices, and cutting fluid technology have been emphatically reviewed. Secondly, the types of tungsten alloy cutting tools, the relevant tool micro-texture, and tool coatings technology have been briefly described, and the composite cutting technology such as cryogenic cutting, electroplastically assisted cutting, and ultrasonic vibration assisted cutting and the effect of cutting performance prediction technology on tungsten alloy machining performance have been summarized. Finally, the development prospect of tungsten alloy cutting technology has been prospected.
