Although KhN67VMTYu alloy is widely used in aerospace applications due to its high hardness, strength and wear resistance properties, factors such as their poor thermal conductivity, high chemical affinity and work hardening tendencies severely limit its machinability. Tool modification via surface texturing offers a promising solution to these challenges as it contributes to a significant reduction in frictional interactions while facilitating improved heat dissipation characteristics at the machining interface. Although numerous studies have investigated the efficiency of textured tool patterns at lubrication assisted conditions, very few studies have commented on its utility at dry machining conditions. Therefore, this work is an attempt to evaluate the usefulness of Groove-shaped Textured Tools (GTT) while machining KhN67VMTYu and analyse its performance when compared to Non-Textured Tools (NTT) at dry lubricating conditions. Research findings revealed that, although the micro-patterns reduced the rate of tool wear mechanisms across its faces in the initial stages of machining, constant piling of chip debris within the textural cavities increased frictional interactions at the machining zones, causing severe edge deformations and crater depressions in the subsequent stages. Thus, only modest improvements in tool life characteristics and cutting force values were noted while machining with textured tools over NTT.
