The invention discloses a
microstructure keyway broach for the surfaces of bionic
dung beetle elytra, and a preparation method thereof. Serious
extrusion, friction and wear exist in rake faces and chips in a
broaching process of an existing broach. According to the
microstructure keyway broach for the surfaces of the bionic
dung beetle elytra, and the preparation method thereof, microstructures onthe surfaces of the
dung beetle elytra are obtained through scanning, then a single-point
diamond tool is produced, and m rows*n columns of bionic microstructures are formed on the rake face of eachbroach tooth in a rough
broaching area and a semi-finish
broaching area of the broach separately, each bionic
microstructure is composed of a central inverted-cone-
frustum concave pit and a pluralityof boundary inverted-cone-
frustum concave pits which are uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction of the central inverted-cone-
frustum concave pit, and the sidewalls of all the boundaryinverted-cone-frustum concave pits communicate with the sidewall of the central inverted-cone-frustum concave pit; and the centers of the top surfaces of all the boundary inverted-cone-frustum concavepits are located in the circumference where the edge of the top surface of the central inverted-cone-frustum concave pit is located. According to the microstructure keyway broach for the surfaces ofthe bionic dung beetle elytra, and the preparation method thereof, the bionic microstructures are formed on the rake faces of the broach, so that the
cutting performance of the broach can be optimized, the
cutting load is reduced, and the purposes of protecting the broach, reducing the wear of the broach, and prolonging the service life of the broach are achieved.
