Avg score: 0% Most missed: “Crater wear is usually found while machining ductile materials.”

Tool wear is the gradual failure of cutting tools due to regular operation. Tools affected include tipped tools, tool bits, and drill bits that are used with machine tools. Types of wear include: flank wear in which the portion of the tool in contact with the finished part erodes.

The tool wear process has three stages:
Initial wear stage: The cutting edge is new, so the tool wear rate is relatively high.
Steady wear stage
Rapid wear stage
