Abstract

The complex nature of the metal cutting process is described along with the challenges this poses to the novel materials technologies and surface engineering methods. Acoustic emission is shown as a valuable technique for in-situ monitoring of the cutting process. The influences of design and tool geometry on the product quality is described. Surface engineering technologies, when used in a scientific and systematic way can offer possibilities of improved performance, life and the ultimate product quality.
