Development of an Acoustic Method for Predicting Wear of Commercial Cutting Tools

Abstract

Abstract The system of forecasting or predicting wear of cutting tools in different turning operations of work pieces using acoustic method is studied. This work is based on the analysis of the conditions characteristics of the mechanical processing, laws of wearing and decomposition of cutting tools on the basic characteristics of the cutting process. The paper presents and studies research methods of the efficiency of cutting tools during turning operations. This work also researches the physical, chemical and mechanical phenomena occurring at the micro-level that lead to a change in the properties of the materials at the macro-level and this change is largely unpredictable due to the random nature of the motion of atoms and particulars at first glance and the scattered arrangement of the primary properties of products intended for the same purpose.
