Abstract
The wide application of aluminum in different industries has increased the need for finding the suitable cutting tool. In contrast to ferrous materials, the dry machining of aluminum is a great challenge. Wetting test is widely used to find out the chemical affinity of aluminum with different tool materials before proceeding for actual machining. Wettability tests were carried out in a high vacuum brazing chamber to find out the spreadability of aluminum on cutting tools. Mono or multilayer coated carbide tools with a top coating of TiC, TiN, Al2O3, TiB2, MoS2 and diamond on cemented carbide (WC–Co) cutting tool inserts were used in the experiment. The results revealed that diamond/graphite is the most inert for aluminum.
