In the manufacturing industry, especially when machining on lathes, tool damage is very likely to occur. No blade can work forever, and its life is limited. But if you understand the cause of its damage and provide a feasible solution, you can not only extend the tool life, but also improve processing efficiency and bring greater benefits.

Let's first discuss the types of tool damage. Abrasion wear is the most common type of damage. Depending on the tool material and the processing substrate, the countermeasures are different. If severe strip wear occurs, a tool made of fine particle material can be used, and it must be quenched at high temperature to enhance its hardness and strength. Tantalum carbide materials are recommended.

Crescent pits also often occur in blade damage. When severe concave wear is found on the front, the diffusion and strength at high temperature should be considered. It is recommended to use materials with high titanium carbide and tantalum carbide content.

When chipping occurs, the tip of the tool should be carefully ground and the cutting edge should also be honed, which can greatly reduce debris.

Today we will first discuss these common tool damage situations, and next time we will talk about other situations.
