...Xinyu Wang; Xudong Sui; Shuaituo Zhang; Mingming Yan; Yan Lu; Junying Hao For improving the wear resistance, thick silicon doped hydrogenated amorphous carbon (a-SiC:H) coatings were deposited on cold working tool steels by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technology. The increase...

... micromachining tool steel machining shear factor strain hardening Over the past decade, there has been a marked increase in the number of products that incorporate miniaturized components, particularly in the medical, electronics, and telecommunication industries. The greater demand...

... experiments were conducted by Irfan in 1998 and Irfan and Prakash in 2000 using a Ti6Al4V and Carpenter Hampden tool-steel tribo pair are employed. In these experiments high normal pressures ( 1 - 3 GPa ) and slip speeds of approximately 50 m ∕ s were attained during the high-speed slip event. Moreover...
