Mechanism of machinability enhancement

Mechanism of Tool Wear Mechanism of Preventing Tool Wear (Developed Material)

1 Additive acts as a stress concentration center,

Chip refining the size of the cutting chips.
Wear at friction surface Reduces friction between tool and chip.

Tool

Cutting direction Cutting direction

Built-up edge: Chip sticks to the top side of the tool, 2 Additive particles lubricate the cutting surface.
causing tool wear when it drops off. Reduces friction at the tool/surface interface.
