METHOD FOR LASER-BASED GENERATION OF A STRUCTURE ON A RAKE FACE OF A CUTTING TOOL

摘要

A method for the laser-based generation of a structure on a rake face of a cutting tool is disclosed, where at least one structure is formed by lines that are generated with a mutual spacing of at most 400 μm with a laser beam at least in areas within a predetermined contour on at least one rake face of the cutting tool. A course of the lines forming the structure is oriented with respect to a profile of at least one cutting edge of the at least one rake face.
