Abstract
The deterioration of machined surfaces by adhesion of work material onto the tool face was experimentally studied. The authors investigated the profile of machined surfaces in continuous and intermittent turning of Inconel 718 with K10 carbide tools. The cutting conditions having tendency to adhere metals were chosen by a method for evaluation of adhesion using dynamic components of cutting force. Profile of machined surface in continuous turning varied little. On the other hand, the profile in intermittent cutting frequently varied. This unstable adhesion probably results in the difficulty of milling of Inconel 718.
