INTERACTIONS BETWEEN WEAR MECHANISMS IN A WC-CO / TI-6AL-4V MACHINING TRIBOSYSTEM

摘要

Through the above research work involving WC-Co / Ti-6Al-4V tribosystem analysis through machining and tribometric bench tests, major wear mechanisms and interactions between these wear mechanisms have been studied. It was observed that no single wear mechanism occurred individually and that a number of major wear mechanism interactions contributed to the final wear state of the tool.
