The study demonstrates that graphite flakes undergo significant out-of-plane bending and wrinkling under the combined action of normal load and shear force, effectively dissipating energy and influencing the plastic strain distribution of the surrounding matrix. The graphite-iron interface, characterized by low shear strength, becomes a preferred slip plane but also represents a vulnerable region for crack initiation and propagation. Furthermore, graphite's exceptionally high in-plane thermal conductivity enables rapid dissipation of frictional heat, reducing peak temperatures and mitigating localized thermal damage.

Subsequently, the relationship between microstructure characteristics (proeutectoid ferrite content (PF%) and pearlite interlamellar spacing (ILS)) and crack propagation behaviors (crack characteristics and propagation modes) was explored using statistical analysis. The results indicated that proeutectoid ferrite played a crucial role in determining crack propagation paths. Specifically, a higher PF% facilitated crack propagation at a smaller angle within the deformation layer, while also promoting more pronounced branching in the matrix layer. Crack propagation along proeutectoid ferrite exhibited a greater tendency, as evidenced by its proportion being approximately four times that of PF%. Moreover, in the deformation layer, proeutectoid ferrite was stretched into plastic flow lines that served as grain boundaries, which can suppress the upward crack propagation. The reduction of ILS would decrease the degree of deformation, crack depth, and the proportion of transgranular propagation.

Grey-box approaches offer a promising compromise but require detailed coating- and load-dependent datasets. This study develops a finite-element (FE) model to predict in-process thermo-mechanical loading on PVD-coated carbide tools. The white-box model supports the extensive experimental testing typically required to generate thermo-mechanical load tables for grey-box tool-life prediction.

Cutting forces and tool temperatures were measured using a dynamometer and an embedded two-colour pyrometer for model validation. The model reproduces forces and temperatures with deviations below 10 % and shows that tool wear strongly affects local thermo-mechanical load distributions, while global loads remain similar between the coatings. Friction characterization reveals a tribological advantage of the bilayer coating, with reduced interface friction and smoother surfaces.
