the effectiveness of the presented technology in reducing the generated heat during machining as well as enhancing wear characteristics of the tool. The results also prove that the developed solid lubricant coating technique will play an important role...

This paper presents a comprehensive survey of welding processes used to deposit wear resistant overlays. It is based on both literature review and research work performed at the Canadian Centre for Welding and Joining. The focus is on the two most...

A series of hot rolling processes with different reduction percentages -10%, 30%, and 50%- were applied to a high-carbon high-chromium tool steel -2HCTS-. Microstructural evolutions, wear behavior, high-temperature oxidation, and aqueous corrosion...

In practical situation, the time at which a tool ceases to produce workpieces with desired size, surface quality and acceptable dimensional tolerances, usually determines the end of tool life. Several mechanisms of wear can contributes to the tool...
