A method was developed to measure tool temperature distribution within the tool by means of fine powders that have a constant melting point. The method involves observation of the boundary line formed by melted and unmelted powder scattered on the tool surface. It is clarified that temperature distribution within the tool is easily and accurately measured in this manner. Temperature distributions were compared with results obtained from analyses based on Loewen and Shaw’s theory, modified on the assumption that heat distribution due to friction along the rake face is not uniform but, rather, like real frictional distribution in cutting, and the fraction of heat flowing into the tool varies along the rake face.
The effects of projectile diameter and impact velocity on ejecta cone angle and ejecta size distribution were investigated by striking aluminum alloy 6061-T6 targets with aluminum alloy 2017-T4 spheres at velocities ranging from 2 to 6 km/s. The two-stage light-gas gun at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS)/ Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), and Nagoya Institute of Technology was used for the experiments. To examine the scattering angles of ejecta, a witness plate (150 mm × 150 mm, 2 mm in thickness) made of copper C1100P-1/4H, with a 30-mm hole in the center, was placed 50 mm in front of the target.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
