Abstract
In this paper, the NF E 66-520-5 standard, dedicated to the determination of the optimal cutting parameters suitable for ductile material, is applied to the pre-sintered ceramic Y-TZP. The objective of the standard is to calculate the specific cutting energy of the forces created between the chosen tool and material during machining operation. Specific cutting energy is the energy required to remove a unit volume of material, and this varies according to the set cutting parameters. The standard determines the upper and lower values of the cutting parameters, using graphs, to ensure repeatable machining. The resulting curves, when using pre-sintered Y-TZP and the standard application (specific cutting energy in relation to cutting speed and specific cutting energy in relation to chip thickness) are similar to the curves resulting from the use of ductile material. Indeed, curves decrease until a threshold is reached and after this point the specific cutting energy stabilises. Thus, the approach allowed the determination of the lower values of parameters for pre-sintered Y-TZP: the cutting speed (133â¯m/min), the minimum of the chip thickness (0.047â¯mm) and the axial cutting depth (0.7â¯mm) for a hemispherical tool in 3â¯mm diameter and two flutes. Over these thresholds, the machining operations are repeatable with the employed material because the specific cutting energy stabilises.
