When cutting metal, the tool cuts into the workpiece, and the tool angle is an important parameter used to determine the geometry of the cutting part of the tool. In order to understand lathe cutting tool angle straightforwardly, we start…
PVD and CVD are currently very common treatment for surface treatments on tools and molds. CVD is based on chemical vapor deposition, while PVD is based on physical vapor deposition, due to their differences in principle, resulting in their final…
How cutting heat is generated The cutting heat is generated in three deformation zones. During the cutting process, the metal deformation and friction in the three deformation zones are the root cause of the cutting heat. Most of the work…
