【 摘 要 】

To recommend one suitable tool material for the cutting of marine steels under special conditions and requirements in emergency rescues of capsized steel ships, the cermet tools, cemented carbide tools and coated carbide tools were evaluated using a fuzzy evaluation method concerning cutting force, cutting temperature, surface roughness and tool wear. Experimental results indicate that the tool cutting performance was diverse and difficult to evaluate with a single evaluation index. The cemented carbide tools presented bad cutting performance with severe wear. Compared with the cemented carbide tools, the cermet tools showed excellent wear resistance with about 60.3% smaller tool flank wear value and good surface quality with about 46.8% smaller surface roughness. The coated carbide tools presented low cutting temperatures about 15.6% smaller than those of the cermet tools. The result of fuzzy evaluation demonstrates that the cermet tools presented the best cutting performance, followed by the coated carbide tools, and then the cemented carbide tools. The cermet tools are recommended to cut marine steels in emergency rescues of capsized steel ships.
