Laser micro-nano texturing of a polycrystalline ultra-hard cutting tool to improve wear behaviour by Manuela Pacella, Amir Badiee, Priyanka Ghosh

“…The tests were stopped every 20 passes and the wear analysed through an Alicona optical 3D measurements. The online monitoring and post-processing of the cutting forces and the microscopical characterisation of the tested cutting tools allowed the evaluation of the effects of texture design and adhesive properties. …”
