However, the heavy-duty roughing applications for these materials have long been dominated by inserts imported from Europe and the United States. These products are expensive, have short service lives, and are based on 1990s-era technology, which no longer meets the production needs of modern products. Currently, the market demands cutting depths of cut (Ap) of 5-9mm and feed rates (f) of 0.3-0.5mm / t. There is an urgent need for turning inserts that meet these demands while maintaining a reasonable service life and cost. Utility Model Content

[0024] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a turning insert for heavy-duty rough machining of high-temperature alloys and stainless steel comprises an insert body, wherein:
[0025] The upper end 1a and the lower end 1b of the blade body are both of the same polygonal structure. The upper end 1a and the lower end 1b are smoothly connected to each side wall 2, and the two adjacent side walls 2 are also connected in an arc shape. The intersection of the two adjacent side walls 2 with the upper end 1a and the lower end 1b forms a rounded cutting edge 3; the upper end 1a and the lower end 1b are connected to each side wall 2 formed with a main cutting edge 4 or a secondary cutting edge 5. The upper end 1a and the lower end 1b are provided with a plurality of main cutting edges 4 and secondary cutting edges 5 at intervals, and a teardrop-shaped platform 6 is formed at the intersection of each main cutting edge 4 and the secondary cutting edge 5.
[0026] A polygonal chip breaker platform 7 is formed in the middle of the upper end surface 1a and the lower end surface 1b, and the number of its side edges is the same as the number of the upper side edges of the blade body. A plurality of raised ribs 8 are formed between each side edge of the chip breaker platform 7 and the upper end portion 1a or the lower end portion 1b of the blade body, and the plurality of raised ribs 8 are smoothly connected to the blade body; a chip breaking space 9 is formed between each main cutting edge 4 and the two adjacent teardrop-shaped platforms 6 and one side edge of the chip breaker platform 7;
[0027] A positioning hole 10 is set at the geometric center of the blade body, and the positioning hole 10 vertically passes through the blade body.
[0028] like Figure 4-5 As shown, a first rake face 901, a second rake face 902, a groove bottom surface 903 and an anti-chip surface 904 are formed in each chip breaking space 9. The first rake face 901 forms a first rake angle with the horizontal base surface, and the second rake face 902 forms a second rake angle with the horizontal base surface; each first rake face 901 is a convex arc surface, and each first rake angle is between 11.9° and 13.7°; each second rake face 902 is a bevel, and each second rake angle is between 15.3° and 23.0°.
[0029] In this embodiment, the width L1 of the first front cutting edge 901 is between 0.34-0.37 mm, the height difference L2 between the rounded cutting edge 3 and the bottom surface of the groove 903 is between 0.27-0.45 mm, the height difference L3 between the chip breaker 7 and the bottom surface of the groove 903 is between 0.5-0.68 mm, the distance L4 between the chip breaker 7 and the secondary cutting edge 5 is between 1.6-2.2 mm, the transverse angle A1 between the anti-chip surface 904 and the chip breaker 7 is between 12-17°, the height difference L5 between the main cutting edge 4 and the bottom surface of the groove 903 is between 3.45-5.57 mm, the distance L6 between the chip breaker 7 and the main cutting edge 4 is between 2.07-4.45 mm, and the vertical angle A2 is between 28.6-31.1°.

[0031] During machining, the main cutting edge 4 cuts the workpiece, and the chips flow along the first rake face 901, the second rake face 902, and the groove bottom surface 903 and produce the first deformation. During this period, the chips encounter the raised rib 8, the teardrop-shaped platform 6 and the side wall of the Z-shaped structure on the chip breaker 7. The chips are lifted up and undergo a second deformation and become wider and thicker, which can effectively reduce the resistance per unit area of the cutting edge, slow down vibration, and extend the tool life; when the chips encounter the anti-chip surface 904, the degree of curling will further increase, the curvature will sharply decrease, and the chips will undergo a third large deformation. Under the blocking and pushing action of the island 11, a good chip breaking effect is achieved.
[0032] like Figure 3 、 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the blade body and the chip breaker 7 are both rhombus-shaped or hexagonal peach-shaped structures, and the angle between the side wall where each main cutting edge 4 is located and the adjacent side wall is 80°.
[0033] In this embodiment, the top surfaces of the chip breaker platforms 7 on the upper end 1a and the lower end 1b are marked with the groove type code and the numerical code of the radius of the rounded tool tip 3 on the side of the junction of the two side walls to facilitate identification and use.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning hole 10 is a threaded hole with a countersunk structure at one end, and the countersunk end is smoothly connected to the chip breaker 7 .
[0035] The above does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
