"Chances are if you are not using a coated insert in your application, you are losing valuable productivity," said Andrews. "Coatings create enhanced toughness, wear resistance, and improve the lubricity of the insert. They can definitely be a game-changer for shops."

Geometries for stainless steels (ISO M materials) usually are more positive compared to the geometries for steel (ISO P materials), and the edges are sharper. Geometries used for cutting cast iron (ISO K materials) can be more negative since the chips produced from these materials break fairly easily.

"There is nothing wrong with questioning the tool that you are using. Evaluate and re-evaluate constantly," said Geisel. "Only the latest technology will allow shops to have the absolute best surface finishes and tightest tolerances and to produce the most parts per edge."

"It's important to start with the material being cut and work backwards when deciding upon an insert to use," said David Andrews, Sandvik Coromant Canada product and application specialist for turning products. "The material will dictate whether a coating should be used, what type of chip breaker to use, and what geometries are suitable."

"More often than not, if a manufacturer is having problems with their tooling, the culprit is an insert with the wrong chipformer for the application," said Geisel.

Turning is a single-cut operation in which a stationary tool meets a rotating workpiece. Pretty simple, right? It is until you take into consideration the variables of nose radius and other geometries, type of chipformer, coatings, and workpiece material and design, among others.

Modern inserts create chips that are shaped and broken off into lengths that are manageable in the machine. The energy required to separate the chip from the workpiece is mostly converted to heat during this process.

That's when the simple becomes what most cutting operations are: a unique task in which success or failure often depends on decisions made early in the process.

Many manufacturers make the mistake of applying a roughing tool when a medium turning tool is needed. By using the incorrect tool, they cause an increase in cycle times and direct tooling costs and a drop in profitability.

A small nose radius means a smaller cutting depth is achievable, but also that vibration is reduced. A tool with a large nose radius provides a strong edge but requires a high feed rate for proper metal removal. Larger depths of cut can be achieved, but radial pressure is increased. Large-radius inserts put more pressure on the part, and a rigid machine tool setup is necessary. Inserts with small nose radii put less pressure on the part, but the feed rate must be lowered.

Also, because PVD coatings are thin, they can be single-layered or multilayered. And, depending on titanium content versus the aluminum content, these coatings can be created with more inherent toughness or more wear resistance. The drawback to these coatings is that they should be used in an operation with lower cutting data than with CVD grades, and with shorter contact times.

The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process produces a thicker coating compared to physical vapor deposition (PVD), and the most commonly used coating types with the CVD technique are titanium carbon nitride (TiCN), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), and titanium nitride (TiN).

PVD coatings provide good edge toughness and maintain an insert's sharp cutting edge. CVD coatings tend to become slightly thicker on sharp edges, making them somewhat blunter. PVD coatings do not create this effect.

The goal in metal cutting is to remove chips from the workpiece material in the correct manner. Rake angle, geometries, and feed rate play important roles too. In an ideal situation, 80 percent of the heat generated from the cutting process can be removed in the chip itself, making chip formation and removal extremely important. It is vital to the cutting process to ensure safety, prolong tool life, create production security, and eliminate unnecessary stoppages.

Nose radiusand surface finish

"An insert with a large nose radius can handle harder hits and more heat," said Geisel. "I always recommend that the largest nose radius, and therefore the strongest tool possible, be used."

A good rule of thumb is to define these operations by the amount of material being removed. (Note: Some overlap will occur depending on the material, setup, and other variables):

In a job shop environment, multiple part changeovers can take place in any given day. This variation in workpiece material means that these shops need tooling that is suitable for many types of materials. Also, by stocking fewer types of inserts, these shops can reduce inventory and ordering costs—a benefit to smaller operations.

Nose radius. The nose radius of an insert is a key factor in turning operations. An insert with a small nose radius has a weaker point than one with a large nose radius, but it is better for fine cuts.

Typically the first layer on top of the substrate is a TiCN coating, which protects against flank wear. The next layer of Al2O3 protects against plastic deformation and crater wear. The higher the temperatures produced by the turning application, the thicker the Al2O3 coating that is needed.

Whether the application calls for rough turning, medium turning, or finish turning, the decision on which machining technology to use should come well before the material is loaded onto the machine or into the bar feeder.

According to Steve Geisel, senior product manager for Iscar Tools, choosing the correct tool not only depends on the workpiece material and type of turning work being done, but also on the type of shop environment.

Coatings. In addition to uncoated tooling, typically used when cutting titanium, there are two types of coating processes and many different coating types.

Chipformer. Chipformers prevent chips from forming into long, stringy pieces. They either are indentations on the surface of the insert or a wafer clamped in the toolholder above the insert.

"There are a lot of variables in the selection process," said Andrews. "But, when each is chosen properly, a tailored solution can be created that is application-specific and makes sense for the shop."

Insert geometries. While the macrogeometry of an insert relates to the basic features (chip breaker, rake angle, and clearance angle), the microgeometry deals with the design features (cutting edge, negative land, if any, and edge roundness [ER] treatment).

The Al2O3 layer is used as a temperature barrier, but also to increase the resistance to crater wear. This is the most complex layer to put on and contains many different process steps. A layer of Al2O3 that is too thick is more likely to produce flaking and chipping. It also produces a large initial flank wear, which is not good for finishing operations.

"Production shops and job shops can differ greatly in their tooling needs," explained Geisel. "In a production environment, process reliability is extremely important. This means that more effort is placed on chip control. These shops do not want to stop their machines to clean out chips."

Temperatures in the top face zones in the cutting edge, where the chip flows across the insert, usually exceed 1,000 degrees C. Friction and heat from the shearing and deformation processes combine to elevate temperatures; ideally, the chip should carry away most of this heat when it leaves the work zone.
