ادامه مطلبRoot Cause Failure Analysis - Understanding Mechanical Failures. Machines aren't supposed to break, and mechanical components such as shafts, fasteners, and structures aren't supposed to fail. But when they do fail, they can tell us exactly why. It may sound a little far-fetched, but experts say that the causes for more than 90% of all ...
ادامه مطلبProblem. 1. Excessive Heat: Heat build up is a major cause of cutting tool edge failure and shortened tool life. 2. Abrasion: is the wearing away of the cutting tool. 3. Chipping/ crumbling of cutting edges: When cutting forces put a greater load on the cutting edges than the tool material can withstand, small fractures in the end mill can result in portions of the cutting edge chipping …
ادامه مطلبfailure of the heat-treated parts; metallurgical laboratory examination is needed to establish these problems that contribute significantly to the service performance of the part.
