1Object-affected harmful factors
If a conventional turning insert with uniform clearance surfaces is used, then the structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but boundary wear cannot be sufficiently reduced during internal diameter processing
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by creating different clearance surface configurations in different regions of the cutting insert. The first clearance surface has a first clearance angle while the second clearance surface has a second clearance angle that differs from the first, allowing each region to be optimized for specific functions - reducing boundary wear in contact areas while maintaining overall structural simplicity
Solution Approach 2:
The cutting insert is segmented into multiple functional surfaces with distinct geometric characteristics. The clearance surface is divided into a first clearance surface and a second clearance surface with different angles, enabling independent optimization of wear resistance and chip flow characteristics without requiring complete structural redesign
2Object-affected harmful factors
If the clearance angle of the secondary clearance surface is increased by at least 1° compared to the main clearance surface, then boundary wear is reduced, but the manufacturing precision requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the geometric parameters of the clearance surfaces by specifying different clearance angles for the first and second clearance surfaces. This parameter variation allows optimization of the cutting insert's performance in reducing boundary wear while the patent provides specific guidance on angle differences to manage manufacturing precision requirements

AI summary
A cutting insert has a seating surface, an outer peripheral surface, a top surface, and an attachment hole. The cutting edge includes a curved cutting corner edge portion, a first cutting edge portion contiguous to one end of the cutting corner edge portion and extending linearly, and a second cutting edge portion contiguous to the other end of the cutting corner edge portion and extending linearly. The top surface includes a first rake face contiguous to the first cutting edge portion, a second rake face contiguous to the second cutting edge portion, and a third rake face contiguous to the cutting corner edge portion and also contiguous to the first and second rake faces. The third rake face has a first region contiguous to the first rake face and a second region contiguous to the second rake face. The first rake face and the first region each have a rake angle which is a positive angle. The second rake face and the second region each have a rake angle which is a negative angle.
