Nowadays, coatings have been widely deposited on cutting tool inserts due to their superior
wear resistant and thermal barrier effect in metal manufacturing industry. Tool coatings avoid …

During machining processes, a large amount of heat is generated due to plastic
deformation, in a very small area of the cutting tool. This high temperature strongly …

Coated tools constitute the majority of the tools applied in material removal processes,
rendering the employment of uncoated ones as an exception. A broad growing market of …

The development of cutting simulation still requires an improvement in the understanding of
the frictional phenomena at the tool-work material interface. This paper introduces a method …

The paper is focused on the 3D numerical prediction of tool wear in metal cutting operations.
In particular, an analytical model, able to take into account the diffusive wear mechanism …

The machining of titanium alloys is critical because of high temperature reached at the tool
nose, the segmentation of chip that causes chipping of the tool. The strategy used in the job …

This paper questions the perfect thermal contact conditions usually assumed at the tool-chip
interface in machining. Dry orthogonal cutting tests are first conducted on a AISI 1045 steel …

To achieve sustainable production in machining, it is necessary to develop strategies to
effectively modify the way that components are produced industrially, with a particular …

Liquid lubricants play an important role in contact processes; for example, they reduce
friction and cool the contact zone. To gain better understanding of the influence of lubrication …

Metal turning is a widely used process in metal removal operations. These operations are
investigated experimentally, analytically and numerically. Since these operations have a …
