“…With this term we mean the useful life of the cutting tool, in time unites, from the beginning of the use of the cutting tool, until the time it reaches the predefined criterion of failure. The cutting tool life depends on the type of treatment, the type of the cutting tool (material, physical properties, coating and geometry of it) [2], the type of the treated material (constitution and properties), the way of mounting the cutting tool, the way of mounting the treated material, conditions of cutting (velocity, propulsion, depth of cutting) [3,4] and dynamic attitude of the system (machine -tool -material). In this research we examine the relation between the duration of life of the cutting tool and the material treated, we consider that all the other parameters are constant such as velocity of cutting Vc, propulsion per teeth fz, the radius and axial depth of cutting α, the lubricant used etc.…”
