The comparison has been done between conventional M2 and Anti-Segregation Process (ASP) ASP53 and ASP30 high speed steel broach samples. The ASP53 was a development material. The cutting performance was evaluated by measuring the c utting forces and calculating the specific cutting energy, an indicator of cutti ng performance. As the roughness of the machined surface is an important criter ion in the evaluation of performance of a tool, the surface roughness of the workpiece was studied as a function of undeformed chip thickness. The workpiec e material was 150M36 alloy steel used in manufacture of automobile engines. Th e performance tests were conducted at two cutting speeds, which were 0 7 m/min and 10.5 m/min respectively. This allowed a better understanding of the effect of cutting speed on tool performance. The wear tests were performed at a cuttin g speed on 10.5 m/min. The cutting edges of ASP broach samples were finer compared to that of M2. Ther e was no practical difference in the cutting forces and the specific cutting ene rgy while cutting with MS, ASP30 and ASP53 broach samples. The ASP30 and ASP53 tools have a better surface roughness on the machined surface than that of M2 at both cutting speeds. The ASP30 gave 2.25 times the life and an improved surfac e finish compared to M2 steel. The ASP53 gave 1.3 times the life of M2 steel. These results should prove useful to the tool designer and manufacturing enginee r.展开更多
