In the machine building industry, producing parts from materials with high mechanical properties typically demands considerable energy consumption during machining. As part of our research, we focused on optimizing the machining process for cutting high-strength aluminum alloy 2024 semi-finished products, crucial for the aerospace industry. Our aim was to reduce energy consumption by exploring novel designs for cutting tools. In this context, the study measured forces in the three primary directions of a cutting process (Fc, Ff, Fp) for three different design variants of cutting tools, along with the associated power consumption. The improved design of cutting tools results in a significant reduction in cutting forces, approximately by 30%, according to the study’s findings. Statistical analysis highlights the benefits of using the enhanced version of the tool, especially in material removal processes, where the decrease in cutting forces is most pronounced. Overall, these findings advocate for the use of the improved cutting tool variant to optimize performance and reduce operational costs.
