Abstract

22MnB5 boron steel is a new material with a high hardness that is classified as Ultra High Strength Steel. The goal of this paper was to characterize tool wear when machining 22MnB5 boron steel with aluminum alloy (AA 6061). Machining tests were performed in wet condition within 200–350 m/min cutting speeds, 0.1 mm/rev feed rate and 0.5 mm depth of cut. The results reveal that 22MnB5 boron steel can machine AA 6061 smoothly with uniform wear was developed at the lower cutting speed of 200 m/min. Maximum tool life of 861 s was recorded for 200 m/min cutting speed whilst minimum tool wear of 255 s was recorded for 350 m/min cutting speed. Wear mechanisms initiated by uniform abrasive wear at the early machining period and formation of built up edge at the end of tool life.
