“…Furthermore, very low thermal conductivity of MGs results in a high local temperature in the cutting region especially during high speed cutting. Thus, oxidation and crystallization of MGs may occur [20] which probably affect their amorphous performances [21,22], but this kind of effects is dependent of the properties and volume fraction of the crystalline phases [21][22][23] as well as the sample preparation and evaluation methods [24,25]. In addition, high local temperature will also increase the adhesion between the chip and tool, leading to the formation of built-up edge on the rake face, and thus affect the subsequent cutting process [16,26].…”
