On understanding the specific cutting mechanisms governing the workpiece surface integrity in metal matrix composites machining (2020)
Journal Article
Han, X., Xu, D., Axinte, D., Liao, Z., & Li, H. N. (2021). On understanding the specific cutting mechanisms governing the workpiece surface integrity in metal matrix composites machining. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 288, Article 116875. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2020.116875

Machining of metal matrix composites (MMCs) is always challenging due to the mismatch of mechanical and thermal properties between the soft matrix and the abrasive reinforced particles, which causes rapid tool wear and severe surface damage. This pap... Read More about On understanding the specific cutting mechanisms governing the workpiece surface integrity in metal matrix composites machining.
