Influence of Combined Hard and Fine Machining on the Surface Properties of Cemented Carbides
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2012, Vol 34, Issue 3
Abstract
As a result of recent developments in cold forging cemented carbides are increasingly used as tool materials. Due to their high hardness only electrical discharge machining (EDM) and grinding are suitable for tool machining. The structure of tool surface has significant influence on dominating failure mechanisms wear and fatigue. For improvement of tribological conditions the surface is polished in a finale processing step. The result of hard and fine machining is a specific combination of coarse and fine structure which is determined by processing parameters. The different surface structures lead to a particular tool behavior in forming process. This paper aims to show the influence of combined hard and fine machining on the surface properties of cemented carbides.

Evaluation of the Wear-Corrosion Process in Beta-Tricalcium (β-TCP) Films Obtained by Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD)
A simultaneous evaluation was done of the wear-corrosion of the coatings of beta-tricalcium phosphate on titanium (Ti) substrate deposits obtained by the magnetron sputtering technique. The characterization was developed...
Effect of Heat Treatment on Wear behavior of Hybrid Aluminum Metal Matrix Composites
The focus of the paper is the wear behavior of hybrid aluminum metal matrix composites. The main objective of the investigation is to conduct the wear test at room temperature for both the as-cast and age hardening condi...
Simulation of Contact Area and Pressure Dependence of Initial Surface Roughness for Cermet-Coated Discs Used in Disc Brakes
Friction, wear, and emission performance strongly depend on the contact pressure and area at the interface of the pad and disc. The contact situation at the pad-to-disc interface can be explained by the formation and des...
Tribological Behaviour of Smart Fluids Influenced by Magnetic and Electric Field – A Review
This review paper highlights the tribological behaviour and performance of smart fluids. Two main kinds of smart fluids, that respond to a suitable external stimulus are investigated – electrorheological and magnetorheol...
