Micromechanisms of tool wear in machining free cutting steels
Abstract
A quantitative investigation of tool crater wear was carried out in free cutting steels with and without lead addition (commercial grade AISI 12L14 and AISI 1215 respectively) at moderately high cutting speeds (140–220 m min−1) using cemented carbide cutting tools. Crater wear was quantitatively measured by determining the amount of tungsten carried into the chips using instrumental neutron activation analysis. The bulk of tungsten in the chips …
