Analysis of cutting tool wear while turning construction steel

The goal of the thesis is wear analysis of cutting inserts used for machining 42CrMo4 steel. Theoretical part of the thesis contains comparison of turning and milling machining processes, machining methods for ball screws made of 42CrMo4 and description of experimental methods of tool wear analysis. Experimental part of thesis contains methodology of cutting inserts wear measurement for chosen machining method. The following testing is focused on cutting insert wear as well as workpiece surface analysis. Thesis is finished with processing of measured data and overall evaluation of achieved results
