You’ll be learning about:
- Correlation between wear and process reliability
- Designation and interpretation of wear patterns
- Causes of various types of wear
- What are the control variables?
- Process optimisation in case of notch wear
- General recommendations for reducing wear
You’ll learn all about indexable inserts, as well as ways to reduce wear. Different types of wear, such as crater, flank and notch wear, will be considered and explained. We’ll also explain how you can optimise your choice of cutter insert, and which cutting parameters will help to reduce wear. The aim of the webinar is to give you a deeper understanding of the wear problem, and provide practical solutions.
To get the most out of our webinar, we recommend that you check your knowledge of indexable insert wear by a short test beforehand. Once you have registered for the webinar, the practice questions will be available below it.
