Abstract:The present work aims to evaluate the tool wear during the milling process of locomotives wheels—class C. A digital microscope is used to identify both the wear and the damage. The wear or damage, when propagated, can compromise the wheel roughness, which has a significant economic importance to railroad maintenance. A system for image capture composed of an ISM-PM200S INSIZE Digital Microscope and the ISM-Pro software is used to measure the flank wear. Firstly, milling process is applied with different number… Show more
