Abstract	Dry turning experiments on Ti-6Al-4V were conducted using two grades (finer and coarser) of carbides and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) inserts to study tool wear. Despite of minor compositional difference between two carbide grades, both grades contain 6% Co. Crater wear and flank wear were measured using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM). Three dimensional rake surface topographies were reconstructed from the CLSM data and wear profiles were extracted. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was conducted to study the effects of cutting conditions and thermal properties on rake face temperature. Flank wear on the carbide tools indicated that the inserts with the finer grain size exhibited smaller flank wear than the insert of the coarser grain size. This was attributed to reduced abrasive wear in the finer grained inserts as a result of a higher hardness. The carbide grade with a coarser grain size had an enhanced ability to resist crater wear, likely from lower rake face temperatures and the differences in the compositions. It is known that coarser grain carbides have a higher thermal conductivity resulting from increased grain contiguity. FEA was used to study the temperature difference between the two grain-sizes and the effect of thermal conductivity on temperature gradients. Tool wear of the PCD inserts was also studied. The PCD tools showed significant adhesive wear at the 200sfm cutting speed, transitioning to crater wear at 400sfm. With a high thermal conductivity, it is possible that rake face temperatures were low enough to alter the wear mechanism. FEA supports this hypothesis, as the maximum rake face temperature for the PCD inserts were only around 900°C at 200sfm.
