Figure ‎3 13 : A photo and SEM micrographs of flank face; (a) a photo of flank face and tool wear region (b) SEM micrograph of flank face; a micro fracture is shown (c) highly magnified flank face shows some holes and scratches probably caused by TiC particles and a smooth adhered layer which has covered the scratches and grooves. It can be seen that the sharp cutting edge of an unused tool has been chamfered after 1 second of machining and has left a sheared surface at the wear land. The EDS elemental mapping of the sample are shown in Figure 3-14. It can be seen that a layer of Al starts to be shaped between two layers of Ti. As it was shown earlier in Figure 2-10, the first transition time is around 1second after machining. It can be …show more content…

The corresponding chemical compositions of the worn flank face (Figure 3-14 (a)) detected by EDS are presented in Figure 3-15. Figure ‎3 15 : An EDS spectrum of the insert with cutting time 1 second along with the element content table. The correlation between the tool wear and cutting forces before the first second of machining will be discussed in section 4-5. 1.1.1 SEM/EDS analysis of an insert with cutting time 1.5 seconds: A photo and two SEM micrographs of the flank face after 1.5 seconds of machining are shown in Figure 3-16. The SEM micrographs (Figures 3-16 (b) and (c)) show clearly that the deposited materials smear on the flank face and the thin adhered layer has the appearance of spread butter. Figure ‎3 16 : A photo and SEM micrographs of flank face; (a) photo of flank wear and tool wear region (b) SEM micrograph of flank face, rake face, and adhered layer observed on flank face near the nose (c) highly magnified flank face shows scratches and grooves caused by TiC
