Flank wear
General criterion for end of tool life, characterized by an admissible amount of flank wear.
Figures usually relate to a tool life of T = 15 min.
Remedy:
Select more wear-resistant grade

Reduce cutting speed
Notch wear
Occurs locally in the area of the primary cutting edge where it contacts the workpiece surface.
Caused by hard surface layers and work-hardened burrs, especially on austenitic stainless
steels. Danger of breakage!
Remedy:
Strengthen cutting edge

Select smaller approach angle (45)

Reduce feed
Crater wear
Wear on the rake face, primarily characterized by crater depth. Not a tool-life criterion with
modern coated carbide inserts and positive chip breaker geometries.
Remedy:
Use coated carbide grades

Select positive insert geometries

Reduce cutting speed
Edge chipping
Minor chipping along the cutting edge, usually accompanied by flank wear and therefore not
always identifiable. Danger of breakage! Edge chipping outside the cutting area is the result
of chip impact due to unfavourable chip removal.
Remedy:
Select tougher grade

Use insert with stronger cutting edge geometry

Reduce feed when starting the cut
Damage caused by chip impact:

Vary feed

Change chipbreaker geometry

Change approach angle
Insert breakage
Insert breakage usually means damage to tool and workpiece. Causes are varied and also
depend on machine and workpiece. Often originates in notches or excessive wear.
Remedy:
Select tougher grade

Use stronger insert with larger corner radius

Select chipbreaker geometry for heavier chip sections

Reduce feed and possibly also depth of cut
Built-up-edges
Edge built-up occurs on the rake face as a result of work material welding together with
the cutting material, especially when cutting difficult to machine materials. From time to
time the built-up edge will break off and may cause damage to the cutting edge. Built-up
edges result in poor surface finish.
Remedy:
Increase cutting speed

Use coated carbides or cermets

Select positive cutting edge geometry

Use cutting fluid
Plastic deformation
Caused by overloading of the cutting edge combined with high machining temperatures.
Danger of breakage!
Remedy:
Reduce cutting speed
Lower feed
Use more wear-resistant carbide grade
Thermal cracks
Small cracks running across the cutting edge, caused by thermal shock loads in interrupted
cutting operations. Danger of breakage!
Remedy:
Use grade with greater resistance to thermal shock

Check use of cutting fluid

Use compressed air to remove chips in slot milling
Chip control
Effective chip control is essential for trouble-free operation. Key factors are work material,
feed and depth of cut. Too short chips result in vibrations and cutting edge overloading.
Danger of breakage!
Remedy:
Avoid too small depths of cut below 1 x radius, except in finishing

If chips too long: select chipbreaker geometry for smaller chip sections
or increase feed

If chips too short: select chipbreaker geometry for larger chip section
or reduce feed

When form turning shoulders check sequence of operations
