Abstract: A semiempirical analysis of the indentation process is made as a result of which the hardness indentation data obtained with ball, cone and square-based pyramid indenters are related to the ...

Abstract: The wear mechanisms to which a cutting tool is subject may be separated into those causing acute failure, e.g., edge breakage due to cracking, and those causing gradual loss of material, e.g., ...

Abstract: In Part 1 of this paper (Paper No. 75-WA/Prod-28) an analysis of tool life based on a flank-wear criterion was made based on the hypothesis that there exists a range of cutting conditions ...

Abstract: In his formulation of a mathematical model of the orthogonal cutting process, Merchant [1] assumed that the workpiece material is sheared as it approaches a plane extending ahead of the tool ...

Abstract: Equations expressing the dependence of the force components on grinding parameters and on the fraction of the wheel surface area over which workpiece material adheres during the grinding of ...

Abstract: Three distinct grinding mechanisms have been found to occur when 304 L stainless steel is ground by alumina wheels. The first results in the grits becoming worn by attritious wear and occurs ...

Abstract: The steps by which a tool life analysis applicable to orthogonal cutting can be extended to accommodate tool obliquity are detailed. By following these, a relation between tool-life, T , tool ...
