DETERMINATION OF OPTIMAL CUTTING CONDITIONS WHEN PROCESSING HARD- TO-PROCESS MATERIALS
Mechanical engineering is currently developing widely: new designs of products are being designed; cutting tools are being used; various innovative types of processing are being used; as well as new superhard materials are being developed. New materials with high strength characteristics, corrosion resistance, resistant to wear, retain durability and are able to withstand various kinds of loads. An important aspect still remains the preservation of the functionality of the product until the end of its service life as long as possible. Therefore, hard-to-process materials, _ for example, such as stellite, are used as surfacing on worn-out sections of large-sized products to preserve the operability of products, as well as to reduce the costs of disposal and the purchase of a new element. However, this type of material is quite difficult to process due to the basic high-strength properties, the composition of which is optimized _ for operation in certain temperature conditions. The paper presents the results of a model experiment to identify optimal cutting modes with optimal temperature.
