Abstract

Abstract: This study aimed to explore the adaptability of coated tools with green cutting technologies. The cutting performance of five AlTiN-based coated tools, including tool life, wear model, and penetration mechanisms, were studied under six cooling methods in sustainable machining of 316L stainless steel. The results showed that the optimal cooling method for the coated tools was determined by the combined effect of coating properties and corresponding wear morphology of the crater, which exerted a positive effect on the tool life. Through a comprehensive assessment of sustainable manufacturing capacity, ATN coated showed satisfactory behavior under oils on water condition. Highlights: Three popular green cutting technologies were adopted in this study. A model of the crater wear of AlTiN-based coated tools was studied. Difference of penetration action of MQL and OoW were compared. A model of sustainable manufacturing capability considering quality, cost, and environment was proposed. The adaptability of coated tools with green cutting technologies was explored.
