Abstract: Extensive and rigorous wear tests involving the failure criterion were carried out initially on (i) TiC coated and (ii) uncoated cemented tungsten carbide, and (iii) cemented titanium carbide ...

Abstract: Tool life curves were plotted for HSS, cemented tungsten carbides, coated carbides, and cemented titanium carbides. HSS tools showed a distinct inflection coinciding with the formation of a white ...

Abstract: The observation of a white diffusion layer at the HSS tool-BUE (mild steel) interface and in the crater, its composition and its identity are discussed here. Diffusion wear by itself is not ...
