In machining, the condition of the tool cutting edges has a high influence on the results obtained from the process, knowing that after manufacturing the wedge the cutting edge may present defects. As a result, this work ...

Carbon steel is considered one of the most applied materials in engineering and in the industry, but it has some restrictions, especially when some properties are needed, such as resistance to corrosion, wear and weather. ...

Materials subjected to floating or repetitive stresses break at stresses much lower than those determined by static tensile or compression tests. This failure caused by alternating forces is known as fatigue. Fatigue failure ...
