High-speed five-axis milling of hardened tool steel
Abstract
This paper investigates critical issues related to high-speed five-axis milling of hardened D2 tool steel (hardness HRc63). A forging die cavity was designed to represent the typical features in dies and molds and to simulate several effects resulting from complex tool path generation. Cutting tool materials used were coated carbide for the roughing and semi-finishing processes and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) for the finishing …
