Abstract: Laser surface melting is being increasingly used as a method of surface polishing steels and other alloys, but understanding the effect of this process on the microstructure and properties is still incomplete. This work ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to fabricate instrumented cutting tools with embedded thermocouples to accurately measure the tool–chip interface temperature in interrupted and continuous turning. Thin-film thermocouples ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to fabricate thermocouples directly on the rake face of a commercially available tungsten carbide cutting insert for accurately measuring the tool–chip interface temperature during metal ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to develop a coating method for placing ultrathin zirconia films, fabricated using sol–gel methods, onto micro end mills. Sol–gel synthesis is investigated because of its potential as a ...
