Environmental Assessment and Optimization When Machining with Micro-textured Cutting Tools

Abstract The dry machining strategy has recently received high attention in the field of metal cutting as it can eliminate environmental impacts associated with usage fluids. However, high-generated heat and severe tool wear are usually observed for operations. One suggested techniques to improve performance is utilize textured tools, reducing friction at chip-tool interface. In this study, three different micro-textured designs were used during AISI 1045 conditions. A life cycle assessment was performed including power consumption preparing measured experiments. Furthermore, some outputs (flank wear, surface roughness, unit volume time) further included offer a comprehensive effective sustainability utilized tools. these tools also compared non-textured under same design narrow micro-groove width showed better sustainable other designs.
