Study on Cutting Temperature and Wear Mechanism of Tool in High Speed Turning Superalloy GH2132

Two kinds of Cemented carbide tools were used to turn Iron-based superalloy GH2132 at 80 m/min-210 m/min under dry cutting condition. Infrared thermometer was used to measure cutting temperature, Tool wear was observed by SEM, and oxygen element distribution of tool surface was analyzed by EDS. Adhesive wear oxidation wear were the main wear mechanisms of the coated cemented carbide tool, Adhesive wear, abrasive were the main wear mechanisms of the carbide tool. Oxidation wear occurs above a certain temperature about 430°C, the higher the temperature the more serious the oxidation wear is. The results might be helpful to guiding the design and selection of tool materials and control of tool wear in high speed machining processes.
