Exploring the mechanics of adhesion in metal cutting

Production cost and productivity depend on the relationship between the achieved tool life and the cutting data. It is readily accepted that adhesion is one of the man wear mechanisms in metal cutting, besides, adhesive wear can exist during the whole cutting process. In addition to shortening the tool life, it can devastate the machined…
