Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of metal cutting in mechanical manufacturing, and particularly relates to an active protection tool suitable for extreme working conditions such as laser-assisted machining and dry cutting and having an active air film protection function and a tool set having the tool. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the fields of aerospace and high-end equipment manufacturing, difficult-to-machine materials (such as titanium alloys, high-temperature alloys, ceramic matrix composites, etc.) are increasingly widely used. These materials usually have the characteristics of high hardness, high strength and low thermal conductivity, resulting in extremely low traditional cutting machining efficiency and serious tool wear. In order to overcome this problem, laser-assisted machining technology has emerged, such as a laser heating assisted milling machining method and device (patent number CN102430904A) and a method for laser-assisted ultra-precision fly-cutting of a two-dimensional optical drum of single-crystal germanium (patent number CN107042364B). The basic principle of this technology is that a high-energy laser beam is used to locally and instantaneously heat the workpiece area to be machined in front of the cutting tool, so that the workpiece material is softened, thereby significantly reducing the cutting force of the material, making "hard machining" become "soft machining", and realizing high-efficiency cutting. However, laser-assisted machining, while solving the original problem, has introduced a series of new and more severe challenges, especially the combined and synergistic damage to tool life, which is specifically manifested in: 1) Performance degradation of tool material caused by extremely high temperature environment: The laser heating makes the workpiece material reach a thermal modification or even a molten state (usually more than 600℃ or even 1000℃), and a huge "heat reservoir" is formed in the cutting zone. Although the goal is to soften the workpiece, the tool (especially the rake face and the flank face) is inevitably exposed to this extremely high temperature. For the widely used hard alloy tool, the binder phase cobalt will seriously soften and grain coarsen at high temperature, resulting in a sharp decrease in the overall hardness and strength of the tool, and aggravating plastic deformation and wear. For ceramic and CBN (cubic boron nitride) tools, although they have high thermal hardness, they will face the risk of thermal shock cracking and aggravated chemical diffusion wear.

[0003] 2) Aggravated chemical adhesion and diffusion wear: At the high temperature generated by the laser, the chemical activity of the workpiece material (such as titanium alloy) becomes extremely high, and it is extremely easy to diffuse and react with the tool material (WC, Co, TiC, etc.), forming a brittle reaction layer. At the same time, the workpiece material melted by the laser is more likely to adhere to the tool surface. When these adhesives are taken away by the chips, adhesive tearing will occur, causing the particles of the tool material to be directly pulled out, resulting in severe adhesive wear.

[0004] 3) Oxidation wear: High temperature environment promotes the oxidation of the tool surface. For example, the WC particles in the hard alloy will be oxidized into loose structure, lower hardness WO3 and CoO, and the oxidation layer is extremely easy to fall off under mechanical friction, accelerating the failure process of the tool.

[0005] In summary, although the laser-assisted machining technology reduces the cutting force, the extremely high temperature and high chemical activity environment created by it, through the synergistic effect of thermal-chemical-mechanical coupling, leads to the accelerated failure of the traditional tool. At present, there is a lack of active protection means in the industry that can simultaneously provide efficient heat insulation, oxidation resistance and friction reduction for the tool under such harsh working conditions. In addition, conventional tool coatings (such as TiN, Al2O3) have limited protective effect under such high temperature for a long time; and external pouring cutting fluid is limited by problems such as laser window, quenching effect, and may even cause thermal shock damage to the high temperature tool due to sudden cooling.
