Quality and Performance Improvement for Precision Machining by Means of Locally Adapted Cutting Edge Microshapes by a Specific Pre- and Post-Treatment for Coated Reaming Tools

Tool preparation before and after coating makes it possible to significantly increase the performance of VHM cutting tools. However, the after-treatment of the coating may cause local delamination of the coating. This influence is mainly observed in cutting areas with small roundings, where the coating cannot adhere optimally. Therefore, there still is a considerable need for research in the field of tool preparation for tools for fine boring machining, which, due to technological reasons, require cutting with a slight edge rounding.

This is to be countered in the planned research project using the example of the multi-bladed reamer. With reaming tools, the minor cutting edge must produce a very high surface quality and should therefore have a slight edge rounding. The major cutting edge, on the other hand, cuts the majority of the material and thus requires a high degree of stability, which is achieved by applying a larger rounding. Within the research project, the different requirements for the major and minor cutting edges are to be met by the development of a cutting edge microstructure locally adapted to the cutting process through appropriate layer pre-treatment and post-treatment. In the first step, the design of the edge shape at the major and minor cutting edge is carried out with regard to the average cutting edge rounding and the form-factor, taking into account the existing meshing conditions. Based on this, the coating and, in particular, the layer post-treatment are optimised to the requirements of the edge shape produced. The possibility of sharpening the cutting edge after coating by laser is also analysed here. The aim is to achieve an increase in tool life while maintaining or improving bore quality through locally adapted cutting edge micro shape, so that tool manufacturers and users alike benefit from the research results.

Location & approach

From A1

Take exit Kreuz Dortmund/Unna to merge onto A44 toward Dortmund, which changes into the B1. Exit Dortmund-Dorstfeld toward Universität (onward see map).

From A 45

Exit Dortmund-Eichlinghofen toward Universität (onward see map).

Alternatively, you can calculate the route here: Google Maps.

 

Arrival by Deutsche Bahn to Dortmund or Bochum central station.

From Dortmund central station, take the S1 city train in the direction of Düsseldorf to the "Dortmund Universität" station (7 minutes journey time).

From Bochum central station, take the S1 city train in the direction of Dortmund to the "Dortmund Universität" station (14 minutes journey time).

The city train runs regularly every 20 minutes in both directions.  From the city train station, take the Skytrain (S-Universität stop) to the Campus Süd stop (1 stop, runs every 10 minutes).

From Dort­mund Airport

By taxi to TU Dortmund University, Campus South (approx. 20 min and 30 €, see  Map)

From Düsseldorf Airport

Take the city train S1 in the direction of Dortmund to the "Dortmund-Universität" station (approx. 60 min). From here, take the Skytrain in the direction of Campus South or Eichlinghofen (runs every 10 minutes and takes approx. 3 min.).

 

The H-Bahn is one of the hallmarks of TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity. There are two stations on North Campus. One (“Dort­mund Uni­ver­si­tät S”) is directly located at the suburban train stop, which connects the uni­ver­si­ty directly with the city of Dort­mund and the rest of the Ruhr Area. Also from this station, there are connections to the “Technologiepark” and (via South Campus) Eichlinghofen. The other station is located at the dining hall at North Campus and offers a direct connection to South Campus every five minutes.

 

The facilities of TU Dort­mund Uni­ver­sity are spread over two campuses, the larger Campus North and the smaller Campus South. Additionally, some areas of the uni­ver­si­ty are located in the adjacent “Technologiepark”.
