Micro-texture at the tool face is a state-of-the-art technique to improve cutting performance. In this paper, five types of micro-texture were fabricated at the flank face to improve the cooling performance under the condition of high pressure jet coolant assistance. By using micro-textures consisted of pin fins, plate fins and pits fabricated 0.3 mm away from the cutting edge, heat transfer from the tool face to coolant was enhanced. The conditions of tool wear, adhesion and chip formation were compared between the micro-textured and non-patterned tools in the longitudinal turning of the nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718. As a result, micro-textured tools always exhibited the reduced flank and crater wear compared with the non-patterned tool, and the rate of tool wear was influenced by the array and height of fin. The energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis of worn flank faces and the electromotive forces obtained from the tool-work thermocouple supported better cooling performances of micro-textured tools. In addition, coolant deposition at flank face evidenced that heat transfer could be promoted by micro-texture near the border of the contact area between the flank wear land and machined surface. Finally, the changes of flow patterns with pit depth are analyzed for pit type tools by computational fluid dynamics. This investigation clearly showed the function of micro-textures for increasing the turbulent kinetic energy and cooling the textured tool face. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
