ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS ARE DRAWING THE ATTENTION OF TODAY'S WORLD IN EVERY ASPECT OF OUR LIFE. ONE AREA OF CONCERN IS MACHINING, ESPECIALLY IN METAL CUTTING. IN METAL CUTTING, PROCESSES INVOLVE EXTENSIVE PLASTIC AND SHEAR STRAIN DEFORMATION OF THE WORK MATERIAL AT THE CUTTING ZONE. HEAT IS GENERATED AND THE MACHINED SURFACE CAN INTERACT CHEMICALLY WITH THE TOOL MATERIAL. THE EXACT NATURE AND EXTENT OF THESE EFFECTS DEPEND ON A COMBINATION OF THE CUTTING CONDITIONS AND THE TOOL-WORK MATERIAL. A SUCCESSFUL CUTTING TOOL FOR MACHINING MUST RESIST THESE SEVERE CONDITIONS AND PROVIDE A SUFFICIENTLY LONG LIFE.
