Abstract: The statistical variability of tool life in production machining must be accounted for in any rational design of large-volume or automated manufacturing systems. The probabilistic approach needed ...

Abstract: Distributed tool life under production machining conditions results in the need for unplanned tool changes. In the case of large volume or automated production systems, such production interruptions ...

Abstract: Abrasive wear tests have been carried out on three steels and a number of pure metals using a pin-on-drum instrument. Each steel was tested at several different hardness levels attained by ...

Abstract: Tool life distribution under production machining conditions must be suitably accounted for in any rational design of large volume or automated machining lines. Reliable data on the type of ...
