Crater Wear Modeling in Conventional Speed Machining

Wear modeling makes it possible to predict the evolution of wear profile and explain wear mechanism from process variables, such as temperature, pressure and sliding velocity etc. A composite crater wear model considering adhesive and diffusion wear is established by means of experiment and modeling in conventional speed machining. A series of cutting tests are performed to obtain wear profiles and corresponding process variables. The constants in wear model are fitted by regression analysis with crater wear tests. This crater wear model shows a good predictive capability in conventional cutting speed.
