✦ Synopsis

Analytical models are derived for cumulative wear of thcing and turning tools. An aluminium-based metal mauix composite reinforced with silicon carbide particles was used to verify the validity of the models. Experimental data show that flank wear of a cutting tool does not depend on the order of different cutting speeds since abrasive wear dominates the wear mechanism. Since the data for turning and facing are correk~ted, it is more economical to rank machinability using data for facing, and to convert them for turning if required.
