Broach tool rake face with a tailored surface topography
A broach tool includes a broach tool rake face with a tailored surface topography.
1. A method for manufacturing a broach tool comprising:
identifying an application regime for which a tailored surface topography is to be used;
determining the tailored surface topography for the application regime, the tailored surface topography including a combination of depressed wells, microchannels, grooves, pockets, dimples, pyramids, and ovals to be formed in a broach tool rake face of the broach tool and selected to control a coefficient of friction between the broach tool rake face and a workpiece;
selecting an appropriate processing method to form the tailored surface topography in the broach tool rake face; and
forming the tailored surface topography in the broach tool rake face using the processing method.
2. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a high speed, low load application regime relationship.
3. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a high-medium speed and medium load application regime relationship.
4. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a low-medium speed and high load application regime relationship.
5. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a shape factor for the tailored surface topography.
6. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a pitch, pattern design for the tailored surface topography.
7. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
determining an orientation for the tailored surface topography.
8. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
selecting a high energy deposition method to form the tailored surface topography.
9. The method as recited in claim 8 , further comprising:
selecting a cold spray method to form the tailored surface topography.
10. The method as recited in claim 8 , further comprising:
selecting a kinetic metallization method to form the tailored surface topography.
11. The method as recited in claim 8 , further comprising:
selecting a plasma deposition method to form the tailored surface topography.
12. The method as recited in claim 8 , further comprising:
selecting an electron-beam based method to form the tailored surface topography.
13. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
alternating between subtractive and additive processing methods to form the tailored surface topography.
14. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a density and a distribution of the pockets as a function of the broach tool speed based on the application regime.
15. The method as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:
determining at least one shape of the pockets based on the application regime and the processing method.
