Definition
Turning with a rotary tool is expected to improve the tool life and productivity in machining difficult-to-machine materials. A circular cutting tool is used, and it rotates around its axis. Compared to a conventional cutting tool, the rotary tool allows each portion of the cutting edge to be cooled between engagements and makes use of the entire circumference of the edge.
Theory and Application
Turning with Rotary Tools
Introduction
Turning with a rotary tool is expected to improve the tool life and productivity in machining difficult-to-machine materials such as nickel-based superalloy, titanium alloy, and metal matrix composites. Compared to a conventional cutting tool, the rotary tool allows each portion of the cutting edge to be cooled between engagements and makes use of the entire circumference of the edge. However, the circular cutting tool undergoes a thermodynamic cycle characterized by intermittent heating and cooling, which...
