A Theory of Flank Wear on Ceramic Tools

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project deals with a scientifically and technically important problem, namely the physical/mechanical/chemical processes as the underlying factors in the evolution of flank wear pattern in machining of steels with ceramic tools. His approach of this project is to consider the separability of thermal and athermal aspects of wear in a novel description of worn surfaces. Preliminary arguments for constructing a theory is outlined. The development of the theory wil be buttressed by a parallel experimental program to qualify various thermal, chemical and metallurgical parameters of wear.
