5. Conclusions
- (1)
- Cutting tools with interlaced pit-convex micro–texture promote wafer curl and fracture. When the chip flows through the blade, the fracture overflows and the chip accumulation improves markedly;
- (2)
- Changes in the distribution of dented tissue in the front of the tool will cause changes in cutting force and cutting temperature. pit-convex micro–texture combined with staggered micro–texture has good cutting performance in reducing cutting force and cutting temperature;
- (3)
- Due to the high hardness and chemical stability of the coating material, it acts as a protective barrier in the event of sharp tool collisions and further optimizes the cutting performance of the tool;
- (4)
- The combination of combined micro–texture and surface coating has solved the processing problem of aluminum alloy material chip winding with large fluctuations and provided a theoretical basis for aluminum alloy cutting.
