Failure of Metal Cutting Tools: 3 Factors | Industries | Metallurgy

The following points highlight the three main factors responsible for failure of tools in the industries. The factors are: 1. Temperature Failure 2. Rupture of Tool Point 3. Gradual Wear at the Tool Point. Factor # 1. Temperature Failure: During machining at high speeds, very high temperature exists at tool chip interface. When temperature exceeds the critical limit, the tool [...]
