Calculation of the Intensity of Adhesive-Fatigue Wear of Cutting Tools

摘要

On the base of kinetic equation of strength the authors suggest the method carbide tools wear intensity calculation allowing comparing wear resistance basing on tool material thermal diffusivity coefficient. The authors obtain equations of tool wear resistance dependences upon its thermal diffusivity which show close correlation between these parameters. The results of wear intensity calculations correspond well to the experimental results under the cutting rates corresponding to the region of adhesive-fatigue wear. The inserts with low thermal diffusivity coefficient are characterized by lower wear rate at the inial and normal stages of wear.
