PT Journal AU Naprstkova, N Svobodova, J Cais, J TI Influence of strontium in AlSi7Mg0.3 alloy on the tool wear SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2013 BP 368 EP 373 VL 13 IS 3 DI 10.21062/ujep/x.2013/a/1213-2489/MT/13/3/368 DE modification; machining; tool; silumin; cutting insert AB Al-Si alloys are leading casting alloys based on aluminum. Machining of aluminum alloys is currently frequently used and it is an important area of production. The paper deals with an experiment that was conducted at the Faculty of Production Technology and Management, University of Jan Evangelista Purkyne in Usti nad Labem, where was machined alloy AlSi7Mg0,3. Samples were made for processing from the master alloy AlSi7Mg0,3, subsequently unmodified and modified of strontium Sr. This paper describes the evaluation of tool wear in terms of how or strontium modification may affect (reduce) the tool wear.
