Abstract: In order to optimize the tool coating material and reduce the tool wear rate, the coating material and wear mechanism for carbide tools are proposed and analyzed based on thermodynamics theory. We deduced the Gibbs free energy function method and analyzed the enthalpy value of the coating material of cemented carbide tools. The rules of diffusion wear and oxidation wear for WC-Co-based carbide tools were analyzed based on the diffusion dissolution theory and the calculation method of the thermal effect of chemical reaction. The diffusion wear and oxidation wear of WC-Co-based carbide tools when machining Ti-6Al-4V were studied with SEM-EDS. The results indicate that a good prediction accuracy of both diffusion wear and oxidation wear can be achieved by the method of thermodynamic theory analysis method. The conclusion will provide useful references for the optimization of cutting parameters and the improvement of the tool life.

1 Introduction Titanium alloy has been widely used in the aerospace industry because of its excellent comprehensive mechanical properties, low density, good corrosion resistance, excellent high temperature tensile strength and creep strength[1-6]. However, titanium alloy is a kind of hard cutting material, which has poor machinability and high cutting temperature. Tungsten carbide (WCCo composite material) is the most commonly used tool in titanium alloy processing. With the increase of highspeed cutting speed, the contradiction between work hardening and thermal softening leads to tool wear[7]. On the other hand, the temperature ascended sharply when the tool flank wear appeared and in turn promoted the degradation of tool[8]. Furthermore, diffusion wear, oxidation wear and adhesive wear are the main wear
