Four kinds of solid lubricants were tested on a high temperature friction tester, from which nano K 2Ti 4O 9 whisker enhanced solid lubrication film was chosen. It was coated on the surface of cutters and tested on a CA6140 lathe. At the rate of 400r/min, the wear of the tool flank with solid lubrication film is 1/6 of that without the film, and it is even lower than that using cutting fluid. With the increase of cutting speed, the wear of the tool flank with solid lubrication film is still lower than that without film, but it is higher than that using cutting fluid. Surface analyses by AFM, SEM and EDX reveal that the solid lubrication film can prevent Fe element of chips from diffusing the cutter surface; adhesion of the cutter and chips is abated and the wear of the tool flank is obviously decreased.展开更多
