szerszámkopásból

Szerszámkopásból is a Hungarian term that translates to "tool wear" in English. It refers to the gradual degradation of a tool's cutting edge or surface due to repeated use. This wear can manifest in various forms, including abrasion, adhesion, diffusion, and fatigue. Abrasive wear occurs when hard particles from the workpiece or the tool itself scrape against the cutting surface. Adhesive wear happens when material from the workpiece welds to the tool's surface and is then torn away. Diffusion wear involves the transfer of atoms between the workpiece and the tool at high temperatures and pressures. Fatigue wear results from cyclic loading, leading to the formation and propagation of cracks.

The rate of tool wear is influenced by several factors. These include the properties of the workpiece material, such as its hardness and toughness, as well as the cutting parameters, such as speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The material of the tool itself, its geometry, and the presence of cutting fluids also play significant roles. For example, harder workpiece materials and higher cutting speeds generally lead to increased wear.

Understanding and managing tool wear is crucial in manufacturing. Excessive tool wear can lead to poor surface finish, dimensional inaccuracies in the workpiece, and increased cutting forces. It can also necessitate frequent tool replacements, leading to downtime and increased production costs. Therefore, strategies to minimize tool wear, such as selecting appropriate tool materials, optimizing cutting parameters, and using effective lubrication and cooling systems, are vital for efficient and economical machining operations. Monitoring tool wear can be done through visual inspection, measuring changes in cutting forces, or analyzing acoustic emissions.
