Abstract
Technological principles to improve performance of end mills made of R6M5K5 high-speed steel are considered by hardening of their cutting edges with ion nitriding as well as by complex hardening (ion nitriding and application of composite wear-resistant coating based on metal nitrides). A batch of mills was tested for resistance to optimize the nitriding conditions. The optimum hardening mode that provides the highest resistance of end mills in the processing of VT20 titanium alloy was chosen. The compositions of wearresistant coatings were proposed according to the experimental data of their effect on the end mill resistance. The impact of cutting conditions on the hardened tool resistance was determined. A theoretical analysis was performed as regards the results of hardened cutter performance tests.
