Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical cutting tool technology, specifically relating to a self-feeding microgroove surface textured tool and its design method. Background Technology
[0002] During metal cutting, the intense friction between the tool and the chip leads to severe tool wear. Proper use of cutting fluid can reduce this friction, lower cutting forces and temperatures, and thus reduce tool wear. However, in traditional cutting processes, the close contact at the tool-chip interface makes it difficult for the cutting fluid to fully penetrate the contact area for cooling and lubrication of the tool tip, resulting in severe wear on the tool rake face. The addition of surface texture enhances the penetration of the cutting fluid, improving the friction and lubrication at the tool-chip interface and reducing tool friction and wear.
