Investigation of Wear Behavior for Innovative Cutting Tool in Machining AISI 304 Stainless Steel

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: AISI 304 stainless steel is widely used in the equipment manufacturing industry due to its excellent corrosion resistance. However, its high toughness and plasticity lead to severe tool wear during machining, significantly shortening the tool’s life. To mitigate tool wear, this study designed and fabricated a novel micro-groove structure on the tool’s rake face, aiming to reduce friction and thermal stress. The performance of the micro-groove tool was evaluated through cutting simulations and durability tests. Results demonstrate that this micro-groove structure effectively reduces cutting forces, suppresses tool wear, and improves chip control and heat dissipation.
