Nickel-aluminum　bronze　alloys　are　prone　to　tool　surface　bonding　and　wear　on　the　tool　substrate　during　the　cutting　process.　The　correlation　between　tool　surface　bonding　morphology,　rear　face　wear,　and　cutting　force　is　analyzed　in　terms　of　the　dry　turning　method　for　cutting　9442-nickel-aluminum　bronze.　The　rational　cutting　parameters　and　the　mechanism　of　tool　wear　are　further　discussed.　The　results　indicate　that　adhesion,　oxidation,　and　abrasive　wear　occur　on　the　tool　surface　during　turning.　At　a　turning　length　of　2000 m,　tool　wear　increases　with　increasing　cutting　speed　and　feed.　There　is　a　tool　wear　difference　of　2　to　3 μm　between　adjacent　cutting　parameters,　but　the　wear　is　similar　at　cutting　speeds　of　140　and　180 m/min.　By　appropriately　reducing　the　cutting　speed　and　feed　rate,　it　is　possible　to　promote　the　formation　of　an　adhering　layer　on　the　rear　face　of　the　tool,　thereby　reducing　overall　tool　wear.　The　best　cutting　results　are　achieved　at　a　chip　speed　of　100 m/min　and　a　feed　rate　of　0.05 mm/rev.　However,　at　higher　cutting　speeds,　there　is　susceptibility　to　the　＇bonding-flaking＇　phenomenon　where　material　adheres　to　the　tool　surface,　leading　to　fluctuations　in　cutting　forces　and　accelerated　tool　wear.　Higher　feed　rates　result　in　increased　cutting　forces,　which　hinder　the　formation　of　an　adhering　layer　on　the　rear　face,　causing　severe　wear　on　the　tool　matrix.　©　ASM　International　2024.
