Highlights

The “Máquinas e Metais” magazine is online. The article “Evaluation of the machining and roughness efforts in turning ABNT 1045 steel using carbide tool”, on page 12, describes the influence of coating on carbide tools with different cutting parameters. See on page 28 the article “Alternative method for application of cutting fluids in centerless grinding process”, discussing the MQL implementation in lieu of the conventional method in the centerless grinding of an ABNT 1025 steel. Read on page 42 the article “Geometry of high speed machined holes with VK5 HSS drill, in Al-Si part”, which analyses the drilling of Al-Si alloy die-cast using a VK5 HSS drill at cutting speeds of 340 m/min and 380 m/min. The focus was product tolerance and tool wear. This issue brings also the new “Chips bucket” buyers’ guide and the updated “Carbide inserts” and “Micromachining services” buyers’ guide.
