Abstract:In this paper, the microscopic mechanism of 080A15 and 30CrMnMo steel chip failure modes has been studied at the level of valence electron structure (VES) based on the empirical electron theory (EET) of solids and molecules. Studies show the bonding ability and the lattice electron density are related to the chip failure form. If the bonding ability is weak and the lattice electron density is high, the chip is more prone to ductile fracture. Conversely, the chip is more prone to adiabatic shear failure to form… Show more
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.
