Abstract: When machining materials such as graphite and plastics, a very interesting phenomenon can be observed in the manner of the tool wear. The faster the speed, the lower the rate of tool wear. ...

Abstract: The austenitic 18-8 stainless steel is one of the most troublesome materials to be machined because of the tendencies of work-hardening, high temperature, and adhesion. The ultimate object of ...

Abstract: Direct measurements of the distributions of normal and frictional stresses on a rake face under cutting conditions have been considered to be practically impossible. However, as reported in this ...

Abstract: The formation of a built-up-edge has been differentiated into two mechanisms, that is, adhesion or nucleation of built-up-edge and growth of adhered metal. As to adhesion, the affinity between ...

Abstract: This paper treats a fundamental investigation of tool wear and tool life mainly from the viewpoint of flank wear. The result reveals that the mechanism of tool wear in turning can be classified ...

Abstract: This paper deals with a challenge to apply the method of indicial response analysis for obtaining the frequency characteristics of total cutting system, tool system, and cutting zone. The ...
