Significance of grinding burn on high speed steel tool performance

摘要: Abstract Despite rapid developments in cutting tool material, traditional HSS still finds applications such as broaching, intermittent cutting, thread and even finish turning of ductile materials using moderate spindle speeds. Performance largely depends on structure–property relationship. Traditionally, tools are ground; however, very little attention is paid to grinding aspects especially, metallurgical specifications. During grinding, experiences thermal related defects burn; which results phase transformation the material over specific depth. The severity burn depending condition. Beneficial effects performance can be obtained, if degree contended. This illustrated case study commercial pure aluminium.
