Improved and Cost Effective Machining Techniques for Tracked Combat Vehicle Parts

Abstract

The program objectives were: 1) To perform analysis of current and planned machining methods for the manufacture of tracked combat vehicle components, to identify these methods for their applicability to optimization and cost effectiveness testing; 2) To perform testing and evaluation of cutting tool type and design, cutting fluids, and machining conditions to maximize the efficiency and cost effectiveness of these machining methods; and 3) To summarize the results of the study in a series of data tables listing recommended cutting tool, geometry, speed, feed, depth of cut, and cutting fluid for each of the work material and machine operation combinations tested. Keywords: Ferrous and nonferrous alloys; carbide tools; microstructure.
