The Main Directions for Increasing the Tool Life of a Metal Cutting Tool with Modified Working Parts

摘要

In this paper, studies aimed to substantiate the directions of improving the reliability of a metal-cutting tool with working parts modified in terms of its service life by application of low-temperature plasma are presented. These investigations employed a database generated by the results of the pilot production operation of a modified hard-alloy tool and the mathematical software developed for data processing. The results of data processing show that the increase in the service life of the modified tool is related to optimization of the working feed parameter.
