The STD11 and KP4 are important steels and applied to the manufacturing of the die and mold. The purpose of this study is to investigate the machinability of tool steels of STD11(HRC60) and KP4(HRC32) when machining them by using ball end milling tools coated with TiAlN. Cutting forces by using a Kistler piezo-cell type tool dynamometer, surface roughness and tool wear by using tool microscope are used in the tests. The results from the cutting tests of KP4 specimens show that 85m/min. of cutting speed and 0.32mm/rev. of feed per revolution are optimum conditions for the higher productivity and 0.26mm/rev. with the same cutting speed are optimum conditions for better surface finishing. The results from machining STD11 workpiece at 30m/min. of cutting speed and 0.17m/rev. of feed per revolution show recommended for the higher productivity. The KP4 shows relatively smaller cutting forces than STD11 and STD11 shows the better surface finish than KP4.

This paper is studied on the effect of TiAlN coated ball end mill on cutting characteristic of high hardness steels in dry cutting condition without coolant. KP4 steels[HRC32] and STD11[HRC60] heat treated steels wert: used as the workpiece and WC-Co ball end mill and single and multi layer TiAlN coated ball end mill were utilized. Results showed that TiAlN coated ball end mill were increased the cutting length than WC-Co ball end mill in the cutting speed$[245\~320m/min]$ about $2\~5$ times for KP4 steels and about $2.7\~4.3$ times for STD11 heat treated steels. The multi layer TiAlN coated ball end mill is good about $1.2\~1.7$ times for KP4 steels and STD11 steels than single layer coated.

This paper is studied on the effect of TiAlN coated Ball End Mill and MQL(Minimum Quantity Lubrication) cutting condition on cutting characteristic of high hardness steels. KP4 steels[HRC32] and STD11[HRC60] heat treated steels were used as the workpiece and WC-Co ball end mill and single and multi layer TiAlN coated ball end mill were utilized in the cutting tests. MQL device was used to spray botanical oil coolant. Result showed that TiAlN coated ball end mill were increased the cutting length than WC-Co ball end mill in the cutting speed[$245{\sim}320m/min$] about $2.3{\sim}5.7$ times for KP4 steels and about $2.5{\sim}4.3$ times far STD11 heat treated steels. The multi layer TiAlN coated ball end mill is good for KP4 steels than single layer coated.
