In automation flexible manufacturing systems, tool wear detection during the cutting process is one of the most important considerations. This study presents an intelligent system for online tool condition monitoring in drilling process .In this paper, analytical and empirical models have been used to predict the thrust and cutting forces on the lip and chisel edges of a new drill. Also an empi...

In rock drilling, bit wear is a major factor in determining bit life, the cost of drilling and may significantly influence the drilling method selected for given rock type. Effective control of bit wear can yield significant cost savings. Prediction of cuttability or drillability requires an understanding of the cutting action and the mode of wear and their interaction with the rock propertiesW...

Evaluation and prediction of performance of diamond wire saw is one of the most important factors involved in planning the dimension stone quarries. The wear rate of diamond wire saw can be investigated as a major criterion to evaluate its performance. The wear rate of diamond wire saw depends upon non-controlled parameters related to rock characteristics and controlled parameters related to ch...

most of the materials used in the industry of aero-engine components generally consist of titaniumalloys. advanced materials, because of their excellent combination of high specific strength, lightweight and general corrosion resistance. in fact, chemical wear resistance of aero-engine alloyprovides a serious challenge for cutting tool material during the machining process. the reductionin cutt...

The objective of this research is to study the dry sliding wear behaviour of metal surfaces and influences of their surface hardness. The improved hardness of the TiN deposited surface was about 1763 Hv. The worn surface Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) morphology exhibits the surface damage due to varying wear test parameters. The Electron Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) reveals that the mater...

It is generally known that the friction and wear between polymers and polished steel surfaces has a special character, the behaviour to friction and wear of a certain polymer might not be valid for a d ifferent polymer, moreover in dry friction conditions. In this paper, the reaction to wear of certain polymers with short glass fibres (polyamide + 20% glass fibres, polyamide + 30% glass fibres ...

Steel composites reinforced with alumina nanoparticles were prepared by powder metallurgy process. Samples containing two different amounts of carbon (0.35 and 0.55 wt.%) and 0-5 wt.% Al2O3 nanoparticles were fabricated by mixing, compacting and sintering of diffusion bonded Distaloy AE powder. The density, hardness and wear tests were performed on the prepared samples. Fu...

Polyethylene (PE) wear is the limiting factor for the longevity of a conventional total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Excessive wear leads to loosening and eventual implant failure. The aim of our in vitro study was to investigate wear of a PE tibial insert on a rotating platform as compared to the same insert fixed to the tibial baseplate and articulating with a similar femoral component. All tests...
