This invention discloses a
cutting tool and method using a micro-
heat pipe network and variable frequency amplitude vibration-assisted
cutting, belonging to the field of
metal cutting technology. It is used in precision and ultra-precision turning, milling, and
grinding processes. The tool is a cylindrical tool body with a clamping edge on both the end face and side face. The end face and side face of the cylindrical tool body are machined with straight groove-shaped microtextures containing a
silver film. Starting from these microtextures, straight groove-shaped and spiral-shaped micro-heat pipes covered with
copper foil extend out, forming highly efficient
friction reduction and heat dissipation capabilities. Simultaneously, during turning, the rotation of the tool causes intermittent cutting effects with different frequencies and amplitudes, equivalent to ultrasonic-assisted vibration turning. This
machining method ensures that the tool and workpiece separate periodically during cutting, thereby reducing the amplitude of cutting vibration, effectively reducing
tool wear rate, and improving the surface quality of the workpiece. The presence of micro-textured grooves reduces the contact area between the tool and workpiece, reducing the friction between them. This greatly improves tool life, ensures the quality of the
machined surface, and is suitable for vibration reduction and heat dissipation in high-speed cutting, precision and ultra-precision cutting.
