The mechanics of large-strain deformation in cutting of metals is discussed, primarily from
viewpoint of recent developments in in situ analysis of plastic flow and microstructure …

Low thermal conductivity usually leads to workpiece materials machine poorly and difficultly.
Surface-active media has been proven to improve the machinability of workpiece materials …

The plasticity of metals can be significantly affected by the application of a magnetic field,
otherwise known as the magneto-plastic effect. This paper investigates the magneto-plastic …

Tantalum has long drawn the ire of machinist, being particularly difficult to cut. Often referred
to as being 'gummy,'cutting of tantalum is characterized by very thick chips, large cutting …

Conventionally metal working fluids are employed to reduce tool wear and energy
consumption in the metal cutting process. This paper presents a new method to achieve the …

The excellent mechanical properties of maraging steel 3J33C make it desirable for a wide
spectrum of high-strength applications, which would also mean that it is difficult to machine …

The application of the mechanochemical effect as a means to enhance the cutting
performance of gummy metals represents a pioneering approach in machining. In this study …
