Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation has enhanced our understanding about ductile-regime
machining of brittle materials such as silicon and germanium. In particular, MD simulation …

A variety of cutting tool materials are used for the contact mode mechanical machining of
components under extreme conditions of stress, temperature and/or corrosion, including …

Machining is basically defined as a process of gradual material removal used to finish
materials of desired surface finish and dimensional accuracy. For achieving the desired …

Material removal in the cutting process is regarded as a friction system with multiple input
and output variables. The complexity of the cutting friction system is caused by the extreme …

The tribological characteristics of sliding surfaces have been remarkably improved by
surface texturing. Surface texturing can be beneficial in many ways; for example, it can …

As widely reported in the literature, the micro-texturing technique has a significant potential
to improve the performance of cutting tools by reducing cutting forces, friction, temperature …

Various non-coated micro-grooves with 7–149 μm in depth and 0.14–0.50 in aspect ratio are
proposed on tool rake surfaces along cutting chip flowing. The objective is to understand …

Nanoscale and microscale textures with different geometrical characteristics were fabricated
on the surface of the Al 2 O 3/TiC ceramic tool, and molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) solid …

Recently, surface texturing has received much attention as a method of enhancing the
tribological properties of a cutting tool surface. However, effective texture patterns and …

We have proposed cutting tools with various textured surfaces to increase cutting tool life.
Our previous studies have developed cutting tools having periodical stripe-grooved surfaces …
